The Toyoepin Eyelashes in No. 23 Japan Style Eyelash (3 Pairs) was sent to me recently and they're definitely something different in my collection! I normally aim for short and straight lashes so that they could blend in and just slightly lengthen my natural lashes. These have a mixture of straight and criss crossing that is concentrated in the middle to add more volume. The band is also clear and so you don't need to set down a black liner base to hide the band either. This set retails for $9.99 right now on the LoveShoppingHolics website. I also received a pair of the Geo Tri Color Gray Lens, which I will be reviewing in a separate post here!
I almost never wear false lashes, but I started to incorporate them into my looks since I went to a wedding this May. For me, I thought these looked too long and that they wouldn't look natural at all since I wasn't used to them. Luckily for me, they looked so amazingly perfect. I used the brush on Duo Lash Glue to wear these lashes, but I feel like they didn't dry completely clear and made my eye pictures not as great as I wanted them to be.
I wore these to test out when I went to BeautyCon LA and they felt comfortable for the full 12 hours I was out. My eyes are pretty sensitive and dry and so I was very worried about wearing these along with my prescription contacts. I wore false lashes to my graduation and they looked nice and still love them, but these lashes felt lighter and more comfortable.
I received so many compliments on my lashes while I was at BeautyCon LA and from people in my personal life as well!
Even though they say Brown Sweet, I feel like it is a very dark, and almost black, brown. When I put a little bit of black mascara to the base to mesh my real lashes with the fake lashes, I didn't notice too much of a color change either. If you're looking for brown lashes, you may need to look for another color but I was very happy with the color of these lashes.
The lash band was a little bit too long to fit my eye, but I was able to snip the last two "groupings" at the end to fit perfectly with my eye shape.
My bare and natural lashes as a comparison.
The right side is slightly curled.
I paired up these lashes for a super simple look in the above set of pictures. I also wore the Geo Tri Color Gray Lens (review here) that can also be found on the LoveShoppingholics website!
The look below is the one I wore at BeautyCon LA! Honestly, it's one of my favorite looks I've done this year. I was wearing my FreshLook Dailies since they're prescribed and I didn't want to wear my glasses.
L - Slightly curled
R - Lashes + mascara at the base
By the way, I only slightly curl my lashes when I wear false lashes because it helps the lashes not stand straight up and look super unnatural. With the way these look, I love how extend out and curl up near the ends. It looks super gorgeous from the side and not as intimidating from the front.
Final thoughts: For these lashes, I feel like they'll be good for "natural" looking days and even more done up looks. I was looking back on my photos for this post and loved how they looked with brows and a tiny bit of eyeliner. Adds and extra oomph to make me feel (and look!!) pretty without adding too much to the rest of my face.
PS - Here is my full BeautyCon LA look with lipstick as well. I went with my gorgeous friend, Cecilia!

They took about 2 weeks to arrive to California, USA from Asia (I believe specifically Malaysia).
