Review: Ardell Individual Lashes (Before & After)

10 March 2014

Ardell Individual Lashes

Ardell Duralash Knot Free Flares in Medium Black*, £5.49
Where to buy: Boots | Superdrug | Amazon

One of the biggest makeup trends at the Oscars this year was full-on fake lashes! It’s probably no surprise, as falsies have been around for a long time, but it was actually the first time that I could not find one Red Carpet celeb without some sort of fake lashes on. It seems the days of searching for the best volumising mascara ever are gone; well, at least for some. I’m still very much a mascara kind of girl; partially because I suck at applying false lashes, and also because I’m not too sure I want to apply a daily dosage of glue so close to my eyes – I keep it for special occasions.

Ardell Individual Lashes

So on those rare occasions when I wear falsies, I always choose individual lashes; they are much easier to apply, more natural-looking and a lot more comfortable to wear. I always have a pack or two of the Eylure Individual Lashes in my stash, but recently I’ve been testing the Ardell Individual Lashes and I like it a lot!

Ardell Individual Lashes

Ardell is a very popular false lashes brand in the US, but it’s slowly taking the UK market as well. The set I have is the Ardell Duralash Knot Free Flares in Medium Black, and it comes with 56 lashes, all one size. They are also available in short instead of medium, or brown instead of black. I think I would have preferred to have a mixture of short & medium in the same set, just because the medium lashes are fine for the outer corner of my eyes, but they are a bit too long for anywhere from the middle to the inner corner.

Ardell Individual Lashes

The lash itself is very wispy and natural-looking, so you can definitely get away with wearing it both in the daytime and evening. I used my MAC Duo Adhesive Glue to apply 3 to 4 individual lashes to the outer corner of my eyes, and the results were amazing! I have a couple of gaps on my lashline, so I placed the individual lashes very strategically to cover those gaps. You can see how much fuller my lashes look with the individual lashes, but it’s a subtle full look, nothing too OTT!

Ardell Individual Lashes

The most important thing for me when comes to false lashes, is how comfortable they are to wear. The Ardell lashes are extremely comfortable to wear, to the point where I can’t even feel they are there; and that’s coming from someone who’s very sensitive to any kind of falsies! My rule with false lashes is: if I can’t blink without my eyes watering, I’m taking them off! That was the biggest reason why I didn’t wear false lashes for on my wedding day – adding a potential discomfort to an already long list of uncomfortable things to endure (high heels, tight corset, fishtail dress & a million hair grips), would just be unnecessary to me. I just wish I had these Ardell ones on my wedding day!

Ardell Individual Lashes

Using the right glue does also play an important part on how well the false lashes stick to your lashline, and the only one I can recommend 100% is the MAC Duo Glue I mentioned above. Overall, I’m very pleased with the Ardell Individual Lashes, and I will definitely look into getting the Short version on my next trip to Boots. If you want an individual lashes set that already comes in different sizes, I recommend the Eylure Individual Lashes.

Have you tried any Ardell Lashes before?

Did you guess it right? I got it totally wrong, again! 😆 We couldn’t be happier and it’s exactly what both James and Bella wanted. Our little tie-breaker! 🥰 #16weekspregnant #babynumber3 #genderreveal

It’s been a little while since my last update. Last week was tough, but this week I’ve started to see the light at the end of the Hyperemesis tunnel.

I’ve been able to keep most of my food down and I can now drink sips of water. Honestly that is such an amazing feeling!

I’m still being sick and still limited on what I can eat, but everyday I tolerate a few more smells and food.

My cravings are so weird! Full of things I’ve never bothered with before - Brazilian hot dogs, McDonalds Fillet O’ Fish, tinned peaches, tuna mayo jacket potato.

I’m still very weak and out of breath if I walk around - my body is playing catch up with the last 2/3 months of living on barely nothing.

I’m into my 14th week and I honestly feel so hopeful right now. ❤️

Ad: Today is International Women’s Day and this Ad: Today is International Women’s Day and this year #LEGO are celebrating the women of the future; our imaginative, creative, inspirational little girls!

We were asked to take part in the campaign, replicating a classic LEGO ad from 1981, which shows a little girl proudly holding up her LEGO creation.

So when I asked Bella what she wanted to make, no surprises there, she chose a princess castle!    

I feel like this reflects her personality so much; she’s sweet and kind, but also really knows her mind and is super determined to do what she wants, how she wants it! 💗 Didn’t she do well?!

If you want to take part and recreate the ad with your amazing daughters, you can submit a photo at LEGO.com/FutureBuilders.

I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so good to step on the scales and not see those numbers going down anymore! I worried every single day for weeks, especially when my weight loss was so quick. So today, I put shorts on for the first time in a month (took it off right after the photo, as I feel so uncomfortable with anything around my hips or waist), pushed my belly out and registered that milestone. Hyperemesis is not in my past yet, but my new meds are at least helping me keep some food down. That’s a lot of progress from a week ago! ❤️

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️
