I love false eyelashes.  These magical strips can transform anyone’s look from pretty to gorgeous in a lash adhesive applied hot second.  

When I first started wearing false eyelashes I used to head to the MAC counter to have them applied for me.  The makeup artists there are very talented and will usually add a little liner and shadow at no additional cost, but at $16 a set, in my opinion, they are a bit pricey.   Yes, lashes can be used more than once but the first time is generally the best.  Since I am a YouTube junkie I found several videos on how to apply false lashes.  They are informative and give great tips on application.  Here are links to a couple of my favorites from stillGLAMORUS  and nurberxo both who provide detailed instructions and helpful tips.  Thanks to beauties like these gals I have become a bit of a lash junkie and regularly use false lashes to add a little something extra to my look.

I kept hearing about Red Cherry lashes and how amazing they were.  Not only do they have a ton of styles, they are reasonably priced.  I did have one major problem though, I couldn’t seem to find them in any of the regular stores I was going to.  By regular, I mean Rite Aid, Walgreen’s, Target…you get the picture.  I googled Red Cherry DW (my personal favorite) and a listing came up on ebay for a lot of 15 lashes for $28.70.  I had the opportunity to choose from 77 different types of Red Cherry lashes and at less than $2/pair, this was significantly less than I spent on my MAC lashes and still less than the Ardell lashes I find at my drug store.  Here is a picture of my loot:

On Glaamspot, I find that almost every celebrity makeup look utilizes fake eyelashes.  They instantly take a glamorous look from hot to mega hot and just because I am a mom of two crazy boys, that doesn’t mean I am not going to “glam” it up whenever I can.  Here are some of my favorite celebrity makeup looks from Olivia Wilde, Kim Kardashian, Carrie Underwood and Ivanka Trump:
