Hello, hello!
Can you believe that it is week 9 already for the Project Focus 10 Collab with my lovely fellow bloggers: Ingrid from Curly Spring Blossom, Stashy from Stash Matters, and Joy from Styled with Joy.
What is Project Focus 10?
10 different products that have been forgotten or neglected, or that we just want to use up, that have not been reviewed on our blogs before (but are still on the market). Over the course of 10 weeks we will make an effort to try to use them, and review one of the products weekly (every Monday), and update on our progress on each of the 10 products over the 10 week period.
This week I’m reviewing the Georgie Beauty False Lashes Style No. 2 L’Avant Gardiste.
Here’s what it says on the website:
Fullness plus Flare.
Our best-selling style easily goes from day to night. It’s fuller on the ends creating a subtle yet seductive cat-eyed shape.
The Georgie faux lash collection features classic styles to wear from morning latte to midnight soirée. Georgie lashes are handmade, weightlessly voluminous, easy to apply, and can be worn multiple times.
As well, I’m reviewing the Georgie Black Faux Lash Adhesive.
Here’s what it says about the lash glue:
-
The first adhesive that is dermatologist tested, PETA and vegan certified
-
Does not contain formaldehyde or phthalates
My experience: I have very minimal experience with false lashes. I think I’ve attempted applying them maybe two or three times EVER. But it is something that I would love to be able to learn to do well. I purchased these lashes almost a year ago from the Kind Beauty Collective, and have been looking at them longingly ever since. I have always put off using them, because honestly, I am a little intimidated by my lack of skills at applying false lashes.
These lashes are so beautiful and lush. And the glue did not irritate my super sensitive eyes. But, I must tell you that I really am HORRIBLE at applying false lashes. I even tried again this morning in the hopes of getting them applied well enough to try to take a photo. The product is amazing, but I need loads more practise. I’m going to buy some cheapo lashes to practise with before trying these again, because they are too gorgeous to go to waste. I plan on mastering false lash application this year!
This morning I dropped one of the lashes while trying to apply them, and it took me more than FIVE MINUTES to find it because I was wearing all black and it was stuck to my sleeve. The struggle is real. Hahaha!
Update on the remaining nine products:
Makeup:
Hard Candy Primer – reviewed week 1, will never use again after my bad reaction!
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette – used 3x this week, to be reviewed in week 10.
Essence Lash Mania Mascara (Waterproof) – did not use, reviewed week 4, will never use again.
Tarte Amazonian Clay Bronzer – did not use this week, reviewed week 6, will start using it in the late spring, and summer once I get a bit less pale!
Makeup Tools:
Wayne Goss Brush 01 – reviewed week 2, used daily, LOVE IT! It is getting softer with use.
Haircare and Bodycare:
Not Your Mother’s Way to Grow Shampoo – FINISHED and Reviewed week 7!
Not Your Mother’s Way to Grow Conditioner – FINISHED and Reviewed week 8!
Living Proof Prime Style Extender – reviewed week three, FINISHED in week 6!

Disclosure: I purchased all of these things!
Hahaha I’m picturing you looking for the eye lash only to find it stuck to your sleeve!!! 😆 This lash style looks SUPER fluttery – did you find them comfortable to wear? I’ve never applied false lashes on myself – only have had makeup artists apply for me. I do have a few lashes I bought from Quo but have not used them…

It was so funny this morning! I had no idea where the lash went, haha!
It is a beautiful fluttery lash, so pretty, but I am not capable of apply both lashes nicely. One will be nice and the other one uneven, or in a few cases, jumping off my face!

I’m not nervous about sticking my fingers in my eyes as I’ve worn contacts for years. But I just find it so difficult to get the lash to stick to the right place on my lashline. But hopefully with practice, I will be able to do it.

You should have seen me frantically searching for the one lash while the other one was falling off my eye! It was so frustrating, but hilarious, haha! 😂

You are not alone my friend ! I suck big time at applying falsies and sadly I must own 20 pairs of them 😀 I really think that there is only one way to go and it’s by practicing (a lot) !!!The last time I tried to put on false lashes I went on a date and without realize it, I lost one in the middle of dinner :O
