Review: ES A103 False Lashes from KKcenterhk

Hi guys :) First I'd like to apologize for being so behind with sponsored posts. I'm really trying my best to publish them as soon as possible but sometimes work can be so harsh on me, leaving me with little or no time at all. 

And so with a little time off today, I am going to do a review on a box of false eyelashes that I received months ago from KKcenterhk. They are an online shop that is mostly known for their false eyelashes and wigs, but they do sell a variety of other items such as make ups, nail stuffs and clothing too. They have really expanded their stuffs now so I suggest you check them out online.


Now on to the box of false eyelashes that I got. This is the ES A103 False Eyelashes that comes in a box of 10 pairs for only $7.3.

Product Description
~ Lots Of 10 Pairs (Black Color)
~ Black Luxuriant Natural Lashes
~ Make Your Eyes Look Bigger And Attractive
~ Can Be Re-used If You Take Them Off Carefully
~ False Eyelash With Box Package
~ Box Size : 182mm X 90mm X 17mm
~ Suitable For Any Personage
~ Can Be Used Party Or Professional Make Up

This is how the lashes were arranged inside. Pardon me for taking two lashes from the same row, hehe. I know you are supposed to take them horizontally as that's how they are paired but still I don't think it makes a difference as to which is left or right, right? And yup, there were some dents and faults on some lashes due to shipping maybe, but all these can be remedied easily, so no harm done. As long as the box wasn't crashed or burned then I don't have a problem with that.


Up close you can see that the ends of the lashes were securely pushed at the back of the box, so if you remove them you have to be careful. Pushing the ends on the other side of the box can help too. The bands are made of nylon, but its not uncomfortable at all. Plus, the natural look and feel of these lashes makes it perfect for everyday use without looking too dramatic.


The alternating long and short lashes also makes it more natural. These are not too thick, so it can easily blend in with your own lashes. A little curl and mascara will make it better :)

Natural Lashes ^^


Like I said, these lashes are so natural you can barely tell I'm wearing them. I didn't curl or put mascara on the false eyelashes in this picture but they pretty much stand out. I did cut the lashes though so that it will fit my eyes more, but I think I cut it a little too short on the center? Haha, FAIL.


I really like looking at my eyes because they look so much better with these lashes on! And it doesn't even look like fake :P


I also took a photo of me wearing it, but this one is quite blurry because of the flash but you can see that the lashes are truly natural looking from a distance. And I have nothing to say about these lashes because its just so perfect for me. I am not really the glam type so I would prefer natural lashes over those bulky ones.


My Thoughts
Although $7 for a box of ten lashes is quite expensive, but if you get quality lashes then I don't think the price will be a problem. Also, shipping from Hongkong is quite fast if you ask me. Usually I have to wait for about a month, but with items from KKcenterhk they are usually here in more or less two weeks.

I also love their customer service, although not really as fabulous as other shops, but definitely better than others too. You can always contact them via email if you have queries.

Aside from the lashes being dent when they reached me, I have no problems with it. Its very durable and I can prove that because I have been using that pair of lashes for months and it doesn't even show signs of wear even though I would sometimes tug them from my eyes lol.

So would I recommend this? Of course! If you are looking for natural lashes that would perfectly blend in with your eyes, then you better check out this ES A103 false lashes from KKcenterhk, definitely worth the money :)

NOTD; Nail Stamping Using the Hello Kitty Nail Art Plate from Born Pretty Store

Hello readers :) I had a really tiring day today. Not only today but since last week, and I really wish that I could rest from all this stress but I cant because I have to keep moving. Good thing I have stuffs that makes me happy and gives me strength- my beauty and nail art stuffs :)) HAHA

So yesterday I showed you swatches of Wet n Wild's Teal or No Teal. I would have opted for some 3D nail art but since I dont have any idea yet as to how to do it, I just decided to do nail stamping. I used the metal plate that I got from Born Pretty Store when they had this massive Hello Kitty Metal Plate giveaway early this year I think.

This is the template that I used, but the stamp and scraper were not part of the freebie so I bought my own. Check out the link below if you want to purchase this item too. Its only for $2.99, free shipping already :)

After painting my nails with Teal or No Teal, I left it for about 5 minutes to make sure that its already dry. I dont want to stamp on slightly wet nail polish because it will just ruin my nails, and I dont like looking at it lol.


I chose this simple floral design because I find it interesting with the leaves or petals detail on the side. Its like the leaves/petals are falling or are being blown away. Nice ^_^


I tried to add a rhinestone on the center of the flower but its too big for the flower so I took it off. I then left the design as simple as that because I think its better. Also, I dont want to do the stamping again if things go wrong with the rhinestones. Stamping can be quite hard if you're not used to it, and you have to be careful so that you'll get the right image you want and transfer it properly. Although basically its just as easy as stamp and press, it can be as difficult as putting a thread on a needle.

Anyways, here are a few more photos of my NOTD, feel free to check them out.. Although its not really that impressive hehe. I am thinking of going 3D next time, and hope that my other order from Born Pretty Store arrives because I am so excited. Err I can be patient with almost anything except on my packages so please give em to me right now! Lol :p

Wet n Wild "Teal or No Teal" {Nail Swatch + NOTD}

And I'm back again, haha. I am just going to show to you what I currently have on my nails today. I am not a fan of blue, but I gave this nail polish a try basically because I haven't swatched it yet and I just have to do it lol, so yeah here goes Wet n Wild's Teal or No Teal.


Actually its more of a sea blue or green blue shade. I dont see it is a completely bluish color, so perhaps I like this. Consistency is quite okay, but this nail polish is sheer. I had two coats on my nails and I can still slightly see my nails. But I think two coats is enough, for me at least.


Here are some swatches on my nails, have a look and tell me what you think about this shade. This is by the way one of the Fast Dry Nail Polishes from Wet n Wild, so it dries really fast.

eek, maybe this was out of focus lol.


Haha I am really not good at applying nail polishes >.<



I left it that way because I wanted to do some nail stamping on my nails and I used this as my base nail polish. Stay tuned for my NOTD via stamping in my next post. Hope you enjoyed the swatches :)
