December-Dollar Tree Finds

Hello dolls.  There was nothing really that caught my eye at the Dollar Tree last month thus-no November post.  This month I had pretty much resigned myself to finding nothing new either, but I got lucky.  I stopped in the day after Christmas and found a bunch of new beauty products!  Score!  I guess they were busy pushing the holiday decor and stuff, so the beauty products were on hold.  

I picked up these false lashes from Kiss.  I had reviewed them already here, so I'm not going to say much about them in this particular post.  Still not a fan of the applicator strings though.

I picked up different styles than the one I had bought the first time.  Kiss lashes have been repackaged-which is probably why these showed up at the dollar store.

Then, I found NYC blushes!  Picked up three of these babies. 

Also, found some Elf products that Target does not carry like this black waterproof liquid liner and this regular liquid liner.

Lastly, found some nail art pens, but only in one color-violet.  I have never tried these before and they look cool, though the pen is pretty small. 

I plan on doing separate reviews for some of the products featured in this post, so look for them in upcoming posts.  What did you find this month? Let me know!

Best,

Kiss Me!

Have you ever tried the Kiss eyelashes?  These lashes were $3.99 each at Walgreens so I took my two coupons for $2 off any Kiss lashes and headed to Wags.  

I got number 04, lashes that criss cross 

and number 05, full fluttery lashes:

Anyways, these new Kiss lashes come with the little red strings that are supposed to help with the application process.  They claim to be five times faster and easier.  As a veteran lash wearer- I am a little leery about these strings.  I only need one hand to put my falsies on- I use tweezers to help assist in applying and hold a small mirror up with my other hand so I can see what I am doing.  

I tried putting the #04 lashes with the red strings last night. Using both hands I had to lean over my sink to get closer to the mirror, but I just could not get close enough to see.  Hummm...yeah...that lasted a whole two seconds.  I ended up yanking out the red strings and using my fool-proof method to apply.  Maybe they would be good idea for beginners, but I found them awkward to use.

So about the #04 lashes...even in the box, I could tell that they were much too small, lengthwise, for my eyes.  I had to position them several times (with and without the red strings)  and they still looked funny.  There was no curl to these at all.  Once they were on my lid, they were stick straight and super heavy.  Um-no thanks.  I took them off.  I was horrified.  Too horrified to even take a picture.  lol.  I have never met a falsie that I didn't like!  This lash band is so thick that it just doesn't allow for a good application.  *sigh*  Such a disappointment. 


Sweet butterfly kisses,
