Falsies = instant drama!
If you're after lush lashes but don't want to commit to semi-permanent extensions or lash serums, false lashes are the product for you. You can go as simple or as diva-liscious as you want, and at the end of the day you can easily take them off. I personally only wear lashes for special occasions, and when KKCenterHK offered to send me my pick of lashes from their store, I immediately chose their crazier offerings. Theatrically long and lush black lashes were amongst my chosen pieces, as well as a box of under-eye lashes to complete the look.
Each box of non-fancy lashes costs about $10 each, and considering you can reuse each pair several times before throwing out, 10 pairs will last you a long time!
The fancy lashes cost a tiny bit more, with the blue feathered lashes and the peacock lashes costing $1.99 each. For such gorgeous, unique pieces, I consider them totally worth the price.
KKCenterHK contacted me late last December, and I received my items about 3 weeks later via standard airmail. Customs didn't charge me a thing (probably because the total cost of the items were so low), and I got my package of lashes with no trouble. Their online store accepts both credit card and paypal, so shopping with them should be a cinch.

And how do the actual lashes hold up in comparison to other brands? I'm pleased to report that they came out really well. :) The lashes themselves were quite sturdy and after I trimmed them to my size, they fit quite well and didn't give me any trouble. The lashes I chose were a bit on the heavy side, but given their pure lushness, that was totally to be expected.
The only complaint I have is that they didn't come with glue, but it didn't matter so much because I had plenty of leftover lash glue on hand. (If you buy lashes from KKCenterHK and find that you don't have any leftover glue from other sets, I suggest buying some from your local Beauty Bar or SM beauty counter. KKCenterHK also sells their own lash glue; prices range from $9 to $11.)
KKCenterHK is based in HongKong, but their products come from Korea and Japan. I was particularly happy with the bottom lashes I used, as they didn't fall apart as I put them on (sparsely haired lashes usually feel flimsy during handling). Interested readers can check out their store here. They've got everything from lashes to wigs to makeup-- everything a girl could want! ;)
Stay beautiful, ladies~!
