Perfect Girl Eyelashes Review (With Pictures)

Let me just start by saying that I love Perfect Girl eyelashes, so this is less of a review and more me gushing about how amazing they are! 

I can't remember when I got my first pair but it must have been over a year ago and they've been my favourites ever since. It's partly due to the amazingly low price which I find astounding for such great quality lashes. I buy them in Savers for £1.99 a pair but I've seen Superdrug stocking a select few styles for around £4 recently.

The three styles I have at the moment are called (top to bottom) Innocent, Curvy and...... Curvy. I don't know why, but the names on the boxes are the same even though they're obviously very different styles. I even went back in to the store just to double check that one of my pairs didn't come in the wrong box but they were all the same.

The lashes I'm wearing below are the pair in the middle of the above pictures, Curvy. They go from shorter near the inner corner of they eye and fan out nicely to a fluttery outer corner. If you prefer 'symmetrical' styles, there are plenty of those on offer too, but I personally like the ones that are longer on the outer corner.

When I try new eyelashes the first thing I notice is the flexibility of the band that they're attached to. If the band is not very bendy, they're really tricky to apply and you can never get the ends to stick down properly. These lashes all have a great flexy band which makes them easy as pie to apply and they can last all day without peeling off at the edges (which is the most annoying thing ever).

The Perfect Girl range has all kinds of styles, there are dramatic lashes that are perfect for dressing up or light, natural lashes perfect for wearing in the day. Of the styles I've tried, they've all been a dream to put on, they stick to the eyelid great and last all day. If you treat them nicely, they'll give you at least 5 wears and at £1.99, you won't find anything to compete with the quality of these. I recommend getting them from Savers where they're cheaper and there are more styles on offer than in Superdrug (proof). These are the only stores I've found that sell this brand but if you know anywhere else that sells them I'd love to know.

Have you tried these eyelashes? What is your favourite brand/style for falsies?

Review: Schwarzkopf Country Colours

Yesterday I died my hair using Schwarzkopf Country Colours. It's a temporary colourant that can last 'up to 8 weeks'. I used shade no. 58 - Grand Caynon which is Red. I got if from Savers and as far as I can remember it was either £1.99 or £2.99. My box looked like this...

...but I think that's old packaging and the product now looks like this...

I use a lot of hair dye and in the past, my go-to for temporary colour is Boots' own brand but they stopped doing a red shade years ago. In fact, I spent a long time looking for a semi-permanent red in all of the high street stores and the only ones I found were over £5 which is a lot to spend on a DIY colour that, on my porous hair, will only last about 3 weeks.

The Kit
The gloves are old-school - like the ones you get at the petrol station. Many dyes now come with much better fitting gloves but this wasn't a problem.
The colour was orange in the bottle but as always, that's no indicator of how it will turn out - it was just a bit off-putting.
It comes with 22.5ml of conditioner which is a lot, but unfortunately it's in a tube with no way of resealing so you either have to use what you want and throw it away or keep it for later with the risk of spilling it everywhere.

The Process

This dye has to be applied to wet hair. Not after washing - you are just supposed to wet your hair before using this dye. This was strange to me since most hair dyes I use have to be applied to dry hair.

The instructions say processing time is between 20-30 minutes depending on how intense you want the results to be. This seems a lot for a semi-permanent dye.
My hair is just longer than shoulder-length and there was more than enough of the product to cover my hair. It advises using two boxes if your hair is below the shoulder but I think you would only need two if you have very long hair.

The Result
I left it on my hair for the full 30 because, in my experience, colours need longer to take to my hair and the result is indeed very intense considering I had brown hair to start with.
My hair feels amazingly soft but it's not very shiny.

I really liked this product and it would now be my first choice for semi-permanent dye. I liked that there was plenty of product because in the past with other brands, when I had longer hair, I'd have to spread the product really thin or buy two boxes.
The range of shades available is also great, as is the price. I'll be using this one again in the future.
