In the wake of Beyonce's new album, Lemonade, I wanted to do inspired makeup, but it ended up looking more lime than lemon.

Naomi detail |
Generally, I don't like lashes with a thick band as I find them uncomfortable, but I don't mind it on these. They're comfortable, and I'm sure they'll last me at least a year even with regular wear. In terms of style, I like how they look and feel. They're lightweight, wispy, and borderline natural (despite their dramatic length).
I don't tend to throw away my false eyelashes until after several uses or once they've become useless (e.g. they're falling apart or can't keep their original shape), so I definitely think a pair of these would last a while with the proper care, and ultimately be worth their initial hefty price. However, had I not received them, I doubt I would've been inclined to buy them for myself. Personally, I've just never spent more than 5-10$ on a pair of falsies.
I hope you liked this asymmetrical look! It does feel like my looks tend to end up more dramatic than whatever I had originally planned.
Disclaimer: I received both the Lena Lashes in Naomi and KVD Lock-It Color Correcting Primer in Light gratis and was/am not compensated to promote or positively review the products. As a reminder, any and all commentary associated with gratis items will have a disclosure on the blog and remain truthful to my personal experience with them (whether they are positive or negative). Although I am immensely grateful to be given the opportunity of receiving free makeup, I will always strive to keep my opinions objective, no matter how I've obtained the products.
