I was recently contacted by Esqido Mink Lashes - a company who as you can probably ascertain from the name, produce mink eyelashes. I was lucky enough to be able to pick a design of my choice from their varied selection as well as receive some of their very own lash glue to use as well.
I'm a bit of newbie still when it comes to lashes - I do enjoy wearing strip and individuals now and then but I haven't quite mastered the craft of application. In recent months however, I have really loved them as an addition to my makeup looks and I think that they can help to finish off a look and make it really pop.
So, in this post I'm going to talk about the lashes I received and tell you my thoughts and feelings on them.
About Esqido:
Creators of custom designed and handcrafted lashes, Esqido's products have adorned the eyes of some very well known and influential clientele - from superstars like Rihanna to Victora Secret Angels. They are also well regarded and loved by pro makeup artists and beauty experts alike.
Esqido believe in the transformative qualities of beautiful eyelashes and due to their frustration and increased critique of what was currently being offered in the world of false eyelashes, they saw a void they could fill and decided to create their own.
Esqido Mink Lashes are bespoke and made to be durable and designed for multiple use as well as being lightweight and comfortable for longterm wear.
The lashes that I chose and received were the style "Lash Named Desire". They are a medium length, flirty and wispy styled lash with criss-crossed lashes and a handcrafted cotton band. They are 4-12mm in length and retail at $29.00 or roughly £21.47 in GBP.
I instantly loved how wispy and voluminous these lashes looked without being too intense. I don't like lashes that look too thick and I prefer a wispiness as I feel this adds a more natural effect to the lash. I'm also really impressed by the packaging - being delivered in a beautiful display box that oozes luxury and really makes you feel like you have a special, bespoke and quality pair of eyelashes. Before application, I trimmed down the lashes from the shortest corner to perfectly fit the shape and size of my eyes. When applied, they felt lightweight and I feel like they instantly made my eyes look bigger which I love.
I applied these lashes using the Esqido Lash Glue that I received as well. This glue dries clear and is latex free - retailing at $10.00. This glue comes equipped with a fine applicator brush which I found made it so much easier to apply glue to the lash band - allowing for precise and fast application. The glue isn't too thick and dries evenly and in only a few seconds. I was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of this glue and was particularly happy with it's packaging and applicator.
Overall, I'm really impressed with these eyelashes from Esqido and I definitely believe that they're worth trying. After one initial use and gentle removal of the glue from the band, these lashes still look as good as new so I can tell that I will get a lot of use out of them. For that reason, I think that they're certainly worth the investment - especially if you're looking for a special, beautiful eyelash.
Esqido also offer international shipping which is awesome and a delivery to the UK takes only 2-5 days at a flat rate of $5 or is free on a $50 or more purchase. If you're in the market for some new eyelashes, definitely take a look at what Esqido has to offer!
