Ardell Deluxe Pack 105 with Applicator, #68987, 0.07 Pound

Like many of the other reviewers, this was my first pair of false lashes. I have been contemplating getting lash extensions just to have a somewhat 'done up' appearance without any effort while I am on maternity leave with a new baby. But, to justify the initial cost of extensions, I wanted to try false lashes at home first to get an idea of the overall look. The Ardell Duluxe Pack was inexpensive, had all the parts you would need to jump in, and of course had great reviews. So, I ordered these and love them! The instructions are simple, straightforward, and application is fairly easy. For me personally, I did not have to cut any length off and they fit perfectly on my lash line. The adhesive was strong enough to last all day (6am-10pm), but delicate enough that it was easy to remove the lashes at night. The adhesive is also easy to remove, and I simply pulled the old glue off from the band before washing gently to remove any of the makeup residue on the lashes. Overall, I forgot to apply mascara on one occasion when I was wearing these and you really couldn't notice. These still helped my eyes to look 'made up' but without being dramatic and fake looking. My husband commented that he may not have noticed if I didn't mention it to him... he just thought it was mascara. And as far as getting lash extensions done as a result of my 'experimenting' with these... I have to say, I think I'd prefer to save myself the money and just use falsies like these. I can apply quickly without much hassle, so I guess a new momma wanting to look good can still have that option while keeping money in the pocket book. I'd recommend this for nearly everyday/all occasion type of use and it is great for even the most novice users. If you want an over the top 'Kardashian' type of look though, I'd suggest other more dramatic falsies.UPDATE: Although a novice at falsies, I tweaked my approach to application and found they will be a bit more dramatic looking if applied lower and curled/turned upwards when applying to lash line. So, these can be glammed up for a night out as well as everyday application! Great product!

I don’t usually wear lashes but I got these for a Halloween costume this year and was pleasantly surprised. The glue worked all night and the little applicator was a nice tool to have. I’m not sure if this is just me being not used to lashes but to be honest they did have a bit of weight to them while wearing, but it wasn’t unbearable.

This is my first ever falsies. It was easy to apply.

I am nearing 40 and, have never (only once) successfully applied eyelashes. The ONE time I did, they were a pair of e.l.f. several years ago and it was awful. That set took me hours to try and put on, and they popped off my face in seconds.So. I did some research and looking around, some googling and youtubing for a pair of falsies that were "noob" or beginner friendly, and these popped up.They arrived in the packaging as shown in the picture, no damages. I'd never used a set of tweezers specifically made for eyelash application before, like the ones shown and THAT made ALL the difference. 1.) Using the tweezers made applying them a breeze. Literally just hold, apply glue, wait for glue to get tacky, gently rest the middle on the middle of eyelid...Press back and down. 2.) The little pink plastic nib was a life saver for the inner and outer corners, which were always the hardest for me to get to STICK. I could use it no problem to gently press the corners down and have the glue take to the lashes, but NOT the little pink nib end. 3.) I didn't need to trim these! They fit the length of my eye perfectly.Pros: They ARE beginner friendly.The tweezers were a godsendThe glue worksThey didn't need to be trimmedThey didn't LOOK falseCons:They were a little difficult to gently peel and remove from the mold/plastic part they were attached to in the package.

Too small for big eyes. Since my eyes are on the bigger side they looked ridiculous on me as the thick lashes ended well before my inner corner creating an obvious line where the ardell lashes began. If you're having trouble figuring out if these are right for you think of it in celebrity terms: if you have eyes like Amanda Seyfried, or Mila Kunis - these will NOT work on you. But if you have eyes more like Jennifer Lawrence or Selena Gomez then they will look great. They were good quality lashes imo and the package came with the applicator and glue so I believe this product deserves three stars. The seller should really include the length of the lashes or simply say it's for small/medium eyes.

I had to use these for my daughter who is in dance and I was shocked how easy they were putting on. The quality stood up two nights prolly could used them more but you know got to look your best. The fit had to be cut a lil but other than that they worked out perfectly! They stood up to dancing all night so totally worth it!

Perfecto tamaño, calidad y precio. Justo lo que se necesita

The glue is smaller than expected (smaller than my pinky) and incredibly difficult to use. When I tried to delicately apply the lash glue to the lashes provided glue went all over the lashes, my vanity, and my fingers which is concerning because I am not heavy handed at all. I do very detailed nail designing that requires a steady hand and this tube lash glue was a disaster to work with and nightmare to clean up. After giving up on using the tube and getting a clean lash brush applicator out to help put glue on the lashes. the lashes did not even last 5 hours. And sadly, the lashes are no better. I don't know if it was my eye shape (round Asian eyes that are double-lidded) but the lashes did not show up in pictures at all even when I curled my lashes. I figured I'd give Ardell a chance because of the glowing reviews, but I feel better sticking to what I'm used to - lash glue with a brush applicator and full 3D mink lashes.
