Hello Lovelies
Both my daughters wear false lashes a lot, my youngest daughter Alicia wears them everytime she applies makeup as she pulls her lashes out as she suffers from Trichotillomania due to her having crippling anxiety. When I received some of the Kiss Lash Couture Faux Mink Lashes Alicia was the first person I thought of to try the lashes out.
I received two pairs of the Kiss lashes, Little Black Dress and Gala. Both are faux mink meaning you get all the benefits of mink lashes without using real mink.
What Kiss Say About The Lashes
Developed with proprietary Mink Effect Design, Lash Couture features a knot-free lash band that distributes weightless volume and curl with a lush, softness like no other. Gala lashes work well with larger eyes.

Alicia's Thoughts
The lashes come in an off white coloured box with a clear window on the front showing the lashes and the name of the lashes. On the back of the box are the instructions of how to apply the lashes. The lashes don't come with any glue or applicator to apply the lashes, the box contains just the lashes.
Little Black Dress
The Little Black Dress lashes (£7.99) claim to give the effect of a smokey eye without the eyeshadow, they are quite a full lash which fan out at the corners, giving length and volume.
Gala
The Gala lashes (£7.99) are much fuller than Little Black Dress and are much more dramatic, they also fan out towards the outer corner.
Alicia wears similar lashes to the Little Black Dress lashes most days, but would reserve styles such as the Gala lashes for a night out as for her, they are much too dramatic for a daytime look but it is entirely down to personal preference, some people may find Little Black Dress too much for the daytime.
Alicia found both sets of lashes easy to apply, she didn't need to cut down either pair down, they applied well and stayed in place, Alicia applied the lashes at around 8.00am and removed them at around 4.00pm when she removed her makeup and they stayed in place without lifting. The lashes removed well and Alicia was able to pull any glue off and store them back in the box until she wore them again.
Alicia has worn the Gala lashes once, but has worn the Little Black Dress lashes a few times now, it does state on the box that the lashes can be worn 10 times but this will depend on how well you look after the lashes. Alicia looks after the lashes well, removing adhesive and moulding them to shape around the casing them came in before putting them in the box until she wears them again, I would recommend doing that to keep the lashes looking well and to be able to wear them more.
Alicia Wearing The Little Black Dress Lashes
Overall Alicia liked both pairs of lashes, the band is thicker than the lashes she usually wears so they took a little time to get used to, but once she was used to them they were fine. The lashes applied and removed with ease and once Alicia had taken any remnants of lash adhesive off the lashes once she'd removed them, she moulded the lashes around the plastic insert and then kept them in their box until the next time she wore them. The lashes are a good price considering you can wear them 10 times, meaning the price per wear is 79 pence.
One negative both myself and Alicia found was that the lashes don't come with adhesive to apply them, this wasn't a problem for Alicia as she buys Duo lash adhesive, but if she didn't, she wouldn't have had any adhesive to apply the lashes with, it does state on the back of the box that adhesive isn't included but I think it is worth mentioning that you will need to buy adhesive separately.
The lashes are contact lense friendly, Alicia wears contact lenses and hasn't had any problems at all when wearing the lashes.
The Kiss Lash Couture Faux Mink Lashes are available from Superdrug, you can find the Gala lashes here and the Little Black Dress lashes here. The Kiss lashes are part of a 3 for 2 promotion Superdrug are currently running so now would be a great time to try them.
Have you tried the Lash Couture Faux Mink lashes? Do you wear false lashes on a regular basis like Alicia or for an occasion? Let me know in the comments section below.
