I was lucky enough to have won DermaluxLash serum in a giveaway. I have never before tried any of such lash growth serums, but I was always curious. Usually, the price was the one that threw me off. These products are not cheap, but let me tell you, I am planning on buying it again. That's how good it was.

Review: Cherie Lashes - Extra Lovely
25 Apr 2017
I am not a huge wearer of false eyelashes, but I wear them with certain makeup looks as I feel that fake eyelashes really make everything more glamorous. I don't wear them as often, because I still have trouble putting them on, although I've gotten better at it. I noticed that it also has to do with the quality of a false lashes. Really cheap ones have harder bands and tend to pop back into their shape no matter how much you try to bend them. Today I'm talking about Cherie Lashes, which are total opposite of those.
I got my Cherie Lashes in a black matte box with white writing and cute pink bow. I like the design. It's simple yet luxurious in a way. Maybe I like it, because I'm also a sucker for baroque ornaments.
Inside it's a pink plastic that holds the lashes in place. There's also a transparent lid on top to prevent the lashes from getting dirty or falling off.
I got mine in the style Extra Lovely. The price is 6.90€ and you can buy them here.
They are described as the lashes for everyday wear. They give you minimal volume, add a bit of drama, but the overall look is very natural.
I love when false lashes have invisible bands. They sit better on the eyes and look more natural. They are usually also easier to bend. These are longer than my natural lashes, but don't have any extreme volume. Lashes form a natural look with one laying over the other. They are slightly shorter on the inner corners and slightly longer on the outer corners, but it's almost invisible. The lashes feel soft to the touch.
I tried to wear them on their own without the eyeliner that I love so much. Eyeliner usually hides mistakes and makes false eyelashes blend with yours better.
These are definitely very comfortable to wear. They bend well and with more wear they actually hold the shape that you want to have. They say that you can wear them up to 10 times and I've worn them about 8 times. They still look pretty much as new. If you remove glue after each wear and don't apply mascara on them, they can last you even longer. They are also lightweight. I've had some pretty heavy lashes, but these don't feel heavy at all. Sometimes inner corners still stick up, but I'm sure that has to do with my lash glue and not the lashes.
You can also see them in Classic Smoky Eye Turns Glossy post.
I have to say that compared to cheaper false eyelashes, I think these are better. The lashes are really soft, feel lightweight and you get a lot of wear out of them. I also feel like this style suits me, since it's still very natural and I prefer this over huge really fake ones.

Review: Born Pretty Store Fake Eyelashes (5 pairs)
1 Sept 2015
Hey Beauties!
Born Pretty Store always surprises me with their products. They seem to have really good quality fake eyelashes for a good price. This time I chose the ones that give you a bit drama towards the end. I've said before that I've still not mastered application of fake eyelashes, so bare with me.
The eyelashes come in a minty plastic packaging with transparent plastic lid. The packaging actually got squished while it was travelling to me, so be aware of that possibility.
You get 5 pairs of eyelashes. They cost 7.17$ and you can buy them here.
They're supposed to be high quality, hand made, soft and natural looking. And they are all that. I got these because I love fake eyelashes that have transparent bend. If the bend is black, they are always harder to apply, more noticeable and they bother me more, because they feel heavy on my lids.
These are very soft and I mean very soft. This will feel like feathers on your eyes. If you apply mascara to them, they will become a tad heavier.
The look of the lash is very natural, but long. The hair is gradually becoming longer towards the outer corner of the eye. It's perfect for natural or winged out looks. It looks like a bunch of individual lashes were stick to transparent bend, so the look is very natural. On the end the hair becomes very thick. Unfortunately, if the lashes are too long for your eye shape, this is the part that you'll have to cut off, like I did.
I also like the fact that they are lightly glued to the packaging, so that you can easily take them off, without any damage.
As you can see the lashes are pretty long and they make natural makeup look more dramatic and fluttery. This is how they look like before I applied on mascara.
And here I tried to merge them with my natural lashes by applying some mascara. It made them thicker and therefore gave me even more drama.
The only thing that bothered me a little is the fact that they seemed a bit scratchy on my inner corners of the eye. I think this might be my mistake, since I probably left them too long. Once I shortened them the sticky feeling was gone. So make sure to cut them to your shape. They are very lightweight on the eyes. I will say if you have hooded eyes, those may poke your brows, because they are really long. It happened to me.
I also used them in this makeup look here.
Another really good quality fake eyelashes. They are extremely soft, feel lightweight on the eyes and have very natural but long hair. The invisible bend makes them easy to use and less obvious for the spectators eye. I think I might want to get more of Born Pretty Store lashes, because so far, they have not disappointed me.
If you're also thinking about buying some eyelashes, you can use my code for Born Pretty Store called PETRAH10 and you'll get 10% off.

Review: Shu Uemura eyelash curler
14 Jan 2015
Hey Beauties!
I've showed you this purchase on Instagram a long time ago and finally, here is review. Just wanted to tested it properly before I gathered my thoughts on it in this post. Shu Uemura eyelash curler is supposedly one of the iconic makeup tools that all the pros carry in their makeup bag. I've seen a lot of them having the limited edition version in gold, but the regular version comes in silver.
I got it for 16.88€. I got it in a box along with one refill pad. It was impossible to find online store, that would sale this eyelash curler. I found it on Cosmetics Now. The shop looked weird to me, but they did state that they sell originals. I've also Googled my box and the lash curler itself and I believe that it is original, although I know there are a lot of fake ones out there.
The eyelash curler is normal size, nothing special here. It's silver and looks well made. The curler opens and closes really smoothly.
Before I only had Tana eyelash curler from Müller, so I wanted to compare it with this one. You can see the main physical differences on the photo below.
What disturbed me the most, was the fact that Shu Uemura opens up a lot less than Tana. You'll see what I'm talking about, when I show you my lashes. There's less space to put eyelashes in the curler with Shu Uemura.
This is how my natural lashes look like. They grow somewhat straight out and the corners are very low.
I like to curl my lashes in this way. I put the curler as close to the roots of the lashes as possible and squeeze a few times.
Here you can see how the lashes look like, if I just try to put the curler as close to the roots as possible and squeeze it a few time.
The problem with Shu Uemura is that I can't get to the very roots of the lashes. It seems the shape doesn't really fit my eye shape. You can see how the edges of the Shu Uemura eyelash curler are poking me in the skin around the eyes. I just can't fit them really close to my eye.
Then I move my curler from the roots to the ends of the lashes and squeeze a little when I move down. If you squeeze to much it looks like you broke the lashes - not pretty. I have to say I never ever pinch myself with Shu Uemura eyelash curler. That has happened to me with Tana eyelash curler several times.
As you can see the result on my eye shape is that the center lashes get some height and curl, but the inner and outer corner of the lashes are still not up enough. I admit I have that problem with Tana eyelash curler as well. Especially the outer edge, doesn't want to get curled. Maybe that is why Shu Uemura came out with the S curler, so that you can curl the edges with that one. I have a similar shape of that curler, that I reviewed here.
So you see that the shape of the Shu Uemura eyelash curler doesn't seem to be a good fit for my eye. I might be predictable in saying that it is maybe better for a flatter Asian eye shape (well, because the bran Shu Uemura is Asian). I will add that if you're in a hurry and squeeze this curler a few times on your roots of the lashes you get insane height to them, to the point where they start to poke me on my eyebrows.
The pad is amazing and I've been using it for four months now, but there is literally no line or cut in it. Amazing! I never pinch myself and the curler is really well made. It's just one of those product that did not work for my eye shape. So I advise you to consider your eye shape, before you decide to buy it or just try it for yourself. I still love to use it and feel that it is really well made, I just have problem with getting to the very roots of the lashes, which can be really annoying sometimes.
Review: Moon Princess Fashion Lashes (D3)
17 Dec 2014
Hey Beauties!
Most of you really liked my latest makeup look, inspired by Jessica Rabbit. A lot of you also saw how crazy big my eyes looked. I got some lashes from Born Pretty Store and I knew those required some really bold makeup. If any of you liked it, here is what I have to say about them.
They come in a plastic box, like most. They cost 5.47$, which is around 4€. They're not the cheapest ones, but they are really well made. The thing I didn't even know is that they are supposedly handmade. I was really surprised by that fact, but as soon as I got them out of the box, it made sense.
The lashes are extremely soft. I've had my share of fake lashes for competition purposes, when I was a dancer and I have never had so soft lashes. They are very dense. The band is thick and black, which means they are a bit harder to work with. It helps if you bend them a little, so that they bend easier, when you put them on. They are the longest in the middle and shorter on both ends. This gives you a very dramatic bambi look, because the hair is very long. However, they are easy to wear, because they are so soft, therefor very light. If they had an invisible band, they would be perfect.
They are definitely very dramatic and would probably not be used for everyday. You can see here that they look very long and still feathery.
If you're looking for dramatic fake eyelashes for your next costume party, then those are it! Definitely recommend them. The quality is amazing for the price.
You can buy the lashes here. If you're up for a discount code, you can use mine. It's PETRAH10 and you'll get 10% off your order.
