Nothing adds instant glamour to an eye look like false lashes. I especially like the fluffy, natural look of mink lashes because they look so lush and velvet-like. That said, I was looking for something more affordable to play with, so I was really excited to hear that
Violet Voss is launching some "faux mink" lashes. I was curious to see if I can get that fluttery 3D mink look without paying more than 7-9 dollars for each pair.
They have 8 new unique styles. All of which were handmade and cruelty-free. Most of the lashes (with the exception of Wisp It Real Good) were made of multi-layered synthetic hair on a flexible cotton band.
"
Black Magic" lashes are ultra sexy and enticing. These are full volume lashes with a criss-cross design and varying lengths of synthetic fibers that are flared on the ends, creating a subtle cat-eyed shape that will surely captivate any person that gets a glimpse of them.
"
Dolls Just Wanna Have Fun" are moderate to full volume lashes that will make your eyes pop. Thick at the roots and curled at the ends, these lashes are perfectly layered with a chunky cut-out design and graduated length to create a memorable doll-eyed effect.
"
Eye DGAF" lashes are not for the timid. These attention-grabbing, statement-making lashes will definitely make an impression. These extreme volume lashes are multi-layered and packed with as much density as the eye can hold to make your lashes the focal point. (That name though!)
"
Eye Do" lashes are perfect for a wedding (or any occasion really) when you want to look naturally beautiful. These are designed in a delicate criss-cross pattern with wispy and lush fibers to create a dreamy, romantic look.
"
Striptease" lashes are sure to be a crowd-pleaser. These long, luscious, lust-worthy lashes (sorry, that's a mouthful) were designed in an eye-catching criss-cross pattern with full volume and graduated length, creating a flirtatious, fluttering, feathery effect (okay now say that 5 times fast).
"
Vamptress" lashes are seductively flirty and sultry. These moderate to full volume lashes were densely woven along the outer edge to create a subtle winged effect that looks alluring and charming.
"
Wisp It Real Good" is the only style in this release made with natural hair hand-tied on an invisible band. These fun and flirty lashes are shorter at the ends and fuller towards the center, creating a beautiful doe-eyed look.
"
Wispy My Name" lashes provide a gorgeous, voluminous look. These lashes have wispy ends that start out dainty from the inner corner and gradually thicken at the ends.
So, how do they wear? Since most of these are multi-layered, the cotton bands are thicker and not as flexible as invisible bands. That said, these were extremely easy to apply and comfortable enough to wear. The only issue I had was Striptease separating a little bit where the bands were stacked, but I can probably fix it with a little glue, so it's not really a big deal.
Overall, I really like these lashes. I think they're great for the price, and with the special introductory price of $50 (code:
$15off), they end up being $6.25 each during the
pre-sale promo. That's pretty darn cheap for something with 2-3 layers. I've only had them for about a week, so I can't tell you how durable they are, but these are supposed to last up to 10 or more uses, and combine that with how inexpensive they are, I think they're great whether you wear false lashes everyday or just want something to play with.
My top three favorites are Black Magic, Eye Do, and Vamptress.
