Review: KKcenterhk ES A500 False Eyelashes By nihrida

I was contacted by KKcenterhk to do a review of their false eyelashes. I chose a pack of 10 different styles of eyelashes by brand ES (product code A500).


I couldn't do a review of all styles, that would just take too much time. I picked three different/random eyelash styles and tried them out. Here they are:


This is the first make up look, made with Style #1 eyelashes.


Products used for this look:
* Urban Decay Primer Potion
* Pure Luxe in Galaxy (all over lid)
* Pure Luxe in Kisses in the Dark (outer corner, crease)
* 88 Matte Eyeshadow Palette
* Essence Black Mania eye pencil
* Essence Black Mania mascara
* ES False Eyelashes (A500)
* Eye Charm false eyelash glue


Here's a second look with Style #2 eyelashes.


Products used for this look:
* NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Slate
* Pure Luxe in Demure
* Essence Black Mania eye pencil
* Essence Black Mania mascara
* ES False Eyelashes (A500)

And last, here's a look with Style #3 eyelashes.


Products used for this look:
* Urban Decay Primer Potion
* Fyrinnae in Cheshire Cat Grin
* 88 Matte Eyeshadow Palette
* Essence Black Mania eye pencil
* Essence Black Mania mascara

I think I already told you I'm no expert when it comes to false eyelashes. I'm actually a newbie. I did try Illamasqua eyelashes, so I have a great high end experience. These can't be compared to Illamasqua's, but I don't think anyone is expecting that. For the price you pay you get a decent product, but you don't get glue - and you can't use them without it. Don't forget about that. <img style='border: 0; padding:0'  src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif' alt=';)'/>
The band which holds the lashes together is not very soft, but it is flexible. I had some troubles with the lashes lifting from my lash line at the ends, but that could be because of glue or because I suck at applying falsies. I like to keep all options open.

Pros:
+ Different styles for every occasion.
+ Price.
+ Eyelashes can be re-useable.

Cons:
- Doesn't come with an eyelash glue.
- The packaging of the eyelashes looks cheap.

Do I recommend it? Sure. If you're into false eyelashes or you like to experiment with make up, I think you'll be very pleased with this product.

And a question for you: do you wear false eyelashes?
