How to stack fake eyelashes

The end result :)







Do you have boxes and boxes of falsies like me cos they're so cheap? 1 box has 10 pairs and it only costs $2.90 from SGLADY.COM!







However, cheap eyelashes can never look as nice as Japanese eyelashes :( So I stack them to make them look more expensive and pretty!




Method 1 (for gradient eyelashes):




You need 4 eyelashes for this. 2 base pairs and 2 different eyelashes (to be cut into half as shown).







Using this as the base eyelash, apply eyelash glue on the middle area







Paste half of the semi thick eyelash on the middle







Apply half of the thick eyelash at the end and you're done! Looks japanese right? And it'll only cost you $1.16 for 1 pair instead of $6+ if you buy eyemazing!







Method 2 (for thicker ends):



You need 3 pairs of eyelashes for this. 2 base pairs and 1 thicker eyelash (to be cut into half).







Apply glue on half of your base pair of eyelashes.







Paste half of the thicker pair of eyelashes at the end of the base pair and you're done! Total cost = $0.87!!







Method 3 ( for dramatic looking eyes):




You need 2 pairs of different eyelashes. Actually I wasn't trying to create more volume, I felt like the top pair of eyelashes were too short so I chose a longer pair of natural looking falsies to lengthen them.







Just paste them both together and you get drama queen eyelashes! Some people even stack 3 or 4 pairs on top of each other, how dramatic you want your eyelashes to look is up to you :)

Gradient nails tutorial





Gradient nails are extremely easy to do but this method only works with OPI Last Friday Night and OPI Teenage Dream because only these 2 nail polishes are sheer enough and blend easily.







Step 1: Start off with clean nails.




Step 2: Paint one coat of nail polish over your entire nail




Step 3: Paint 1 coat of nail polish over the top HALF of your nail




Step 4: Apply one coat of nail polish over the top 1/3 of your nail. Touch up wherever needed then apply a top coat so that your freshly painted nails won't chip so easily!



You can purchase OPI nail polish here.

Dolly Wink Eyeshadow 01 tutorial and review

Products used: Dolly Wink Eyeshadow 01, Dolly Wink Black liquid eyeliner, Maybelline brown gel eyeliner, top false eyelashes from taiwan and bottom false eyelashes from Watsons at Nex.

Naked eye


After applying the gold shade on your entire eyelid, apply a thick line of the medium brown eyeshadow on the top and bottom 1/3 of your eye.



Apply the darkest brown eyeshadow thinly on the top and bottom of your eye. Highlight your inner corners with the lightest eyeshadow in the palette.



Line the top of your eyes with Dolly Wink Eyeliner in Black. Extend it outwards and downwards.



Line the bottom of your eyes with brown gel eyeliner for a more natural look and so that your eyeliner won't overwhelm your bottom falsies.


Apply false eyelashes and you're done!


I like this neutral eyeshadow palette a lot as the colours don't fade very much throughout the day. They're very easy to blend and use and it goes on very smoothly. Great for an everyday look.

The packaging is adorable. However, I wish that it came with a mirror so that I could touch up my make up more conveniently.

Pigmentation: 4/5
Lasting power: 4/5
Blendability: 5/5
Packaging: 3/5
Price: 4/5
Overall, it's a must buy!

Dolly Wink products can be purchased from Watsons and Shop On Blog.
