Review: KISS Looks So Natural Lashes

KISS Looks So Natural Lashes in Flirty

          Hi everyone! Today, I come to you with a very exciting post. This will be my review of the KISS Looks So Natural Lashes. I received these courtesy of influenster in my J'Adore VoxBox. Thanks +Influenster and +KissProductsInc for sending me #KISSLashes. There are 6 different styles in this line, and the one I received are called Flirty. Flirty is a very full set of lashes that slightly flare out in the middle than the ends, and by the looks of it, the thickest pair of lashes in the line. According to this blog post, looks like these will retail for around $3.99 for one pair, but it does come with it's own glue! I have not been able to find these online or in my local drugstores, but I am sure this will be available in the coming weeks. So before we jump in, lets take a look at the product shall we?



KISS Eyelash Adhesive

           According to the KISS website, this is what they say about the product:
 "Revolutionary Tapered End Technology delivers real-like lashes that blend seamlessly with    your own lashes. 97% of women who wore these lashes felt the difference—you’ll forget    you’re wearing them!"
           The claims on the packaging are:
  • Light and soft as a feather
  • Feels like your own lashes 
           Do I feel these lashes blend seamlessly with my own lashes? A little
           Do I feel I forget I am wearing these lashes? Well, I almost went to bed with them so yes!
           Do I feel these are light and soft as a feather? Yes, at least lighter than the other lashes I have tried
           Do I feel like these feel like my own lashes? No

          As for my thoughts on the product, I really do like these lashes. When I first put them on, I felt they were slightly heavy, but once the glue dried completely and the lashes settled, I didn't feel like I have lashes on. They are very comfortable to wear due to how light and soft they are. They are easy to maneuver so that they can fit the natural curve of your eye. I used the glue the lashes came with, and let me tell you, that glue is the craziest lash glue I have seen. It looks white, but if you look closer, it's dual chrome with blue. (This tripped me out because when I applied the glue to the lashes it came off blue-ish green and I thought it may have been the glue taking off the color in the lashes and turning that color.) It's also dries crazy fast. The instructions say to wait 30 seconds, but I felt like the glue dried in about 15-20 seconds. However, as much as I love these lashes, there are a few things I dislike about them as well.
          First off, I didn't like that these lashes had a thick lash band. From the picture above, you can see that these lashes have a thick lash band which makes it hard to camouflage them into your lashes. Secondly, these lashes don't look natural. When I first put these on my boyfriend noticed right away I was wearing fake lashes. How could he tell? He said they were unnaturally glossy, which I agree. When the light hits these lashes, there is an obvious glare/shine you can see off of them that my normal lashes don't have. On top of that, what I love most about these lashes is actually why they look unnatural on me; these are full lashes. My lashes are sparse while the KISS Looks So Natural Lashes are thick. There is a dramatic difference between my lashes and these lashes. So if you have sparse lashes, these will not look natural on you because you naturally don't have thick lashes. Don't believe me? See for yourself:

Right side: normal lashes, Left side: KISS lashes

          As you can see, these lashes are dramatic! If you have sparse lashes like me, these would be great for a date or a night out on the town! Actually, I take it back, a date wouldn't be a great idea if your boyfriend is like mine and freaked out that I had "fake body parts" on my eye lids. Any how, I love that these take my look from good to glam! However, the key to this look is following the directions. I can't imagine not following the directions on the package leading to a great look. 

So to summarize:
Pros:
  • Very comfortable to wear
  • Feels soft
  • Easy to move and maneuver
  • Comes with glue
  • Glue dries fairly fast
Cons:
  • Does not look natural, you can tell I have fake lashes on
  • Thick lash band
My Overall Rating: 85/100

If you have tried these lashes, let me know your thoughts!
