Esqido Mink Eyelashes | Unforgettable, BFF & Lashmopolitan

Not all false lashes are created equal, and this point was clearly brought home to me the day a package from Esqido Mink Eyelashes arrived. Made with premium mink hair that’s been ethically harvested, Esqido lashes are all hand-crafted to exacting specifications and each pair comes in a beautifully detailed reusable box to store them in. You might just spend the longest time simply admiring them and not want to disturb their pristine beauty. Or maybe that’s just me.

Mink hair is naturally lustrous and incredibly soft, and after being shed (no live animal is ever harmed in this process), the hairs go through a sterilization process to make them hypoallergenic and suitable for wear, prior to being hand-formed into each individual style. The natural glossy black/brown colour is fee of any dyes and is practically indistinguishable from human hair – as well as incredibly lightweight in feel, while the bands are all made of cotton. Each pair holds their curl throughout the wearing (NOTE: it is not recommended to apply any mascara to these lashes), and with proper care – as in, gentle treatment, removing all traces of glue after each wearing, and keeping them stored in their box – you can easily get 25 uses out of each pair. They also come with a handy insert that lists detailed interactions for their care and use.

To make the deal even sweeter, there’s a wonderful money-back guarantee on all unopened boxes and a one-time money-back offer on opened box(es). I am always so much more at ease with brands when I see that they are willing to stand behind their products, like Esqido has shown with this policy.

I was sent three pairs to try, that cover the gamut between subtle, dressy, and über-glam (there are 9 styles to choose from, 3 pairs in each of the aforementioned categories).

Unforgettable (US ~~$42.99~~ $36.00) | While the most subtle of the three pairs shown here, Unforgettable manages to inject just the right amount of length to lashes, making them easily suitable for daytime wear, or for those who want a whisper of drama to their eye makeup without appearing overdone.

I love wearing these lashes with just a touch of liner applied first; I basically need no other eye makeup after that, which makes my eyes/lashes appear ‘complete’.

BFF (US ~~$45.99~~ $38.00) | With their graduating lengths of hair, the BFF style not only adds length, but major volume to your eye makeup look. I do find that the band is a little thicker than the other 2 styles shown, but I get around that by decreasing the amount of my applied liner. While obviously more of an evening lash, I was surprised to find how totally wearable this style is even for daytime events.

Lashmopolitan (US ~~$45.99~~ $38.00) | Serious oomph happening with the Lashmopolitan (honestly, don’t you just love that name?). There is absolutely nothing subtle about this pair and it’s definitely a style meant to add serious drama to your entire makeup look. The inner portion of these lashes have the same graduating lengths of hair, with the party happening on the ends: volume, length AND mega curl.

FUN FACT: Rihanna wore Lashmopolitan lashes this past November 4th at the afAR Inspiration Gala.

There’s good reason why Esqido Mink Eyelashes have become the go-to brand for celebrities, makeup artists, and the Victoria’s Secret models alike; quite simply, they are absolutely gorgeous in every sense. I am a firm believe in the “you get what you pay for” school of thought, and in my opinion, quality always has the last word. Broken down to a per-use basis, the initial cost of each pair of these lashes becomes a much more affordable option than mass-market brands, which don’t even come close to the look, feel and wearability of Esqido.

For me, these are total love and I absolutely refuse to wear any other type of lash – definitely must haves, and so worth it as the crowning touch to many of my makeup looks.

For US customers, shipping is free on orders over $25.00 – for Canadian and International customers, shipping is $5.00 on orders of $50.00 or more (although there are seasonal shipping discounts you can take advantage of).
