GIO DREVELI LASHES ♡
Hello my loves! How are you feeling today? I am so exhausted because I was tackling exams and work all week. I am trying to relax a bit and let off steam but, as I am sure you know, life gets a bit overwhelming sometimes. Hopefully, I'll feel stronger in a few days time.
Anyway today I wanted to share with you a highly anticipated review. In case you've never heard of it, Gio Dreveli Lashes is a lash company started by a greek influencer. Gio is well known for her gorgeous beauty looks, so when we heard that she was coming out with lashes we were all very excited.
I was lucky enough to be sent a pair, "Athena" to be specific, and I was beyond thrilled to try them. First things first, the packaging (video) is a real eye catcher, sparkling with silver glitter and gold writing. The lashes are also pretty impressive. They look luxurious and feel soft since they are handmade with Korean silk.
Now for the cons... I really wanted to love them, I did. But, especially the style I was sent was so dramatic and intense and from afar it looked as if I had two black fluffs on my face. The lash band was bigger than my eyelid (I have rather average sized lids) which I know may not be a problem for some of you but it sure was for me. I didn't want to trim them because, as you can see, the lashes have a certain shape and wisp and I was afraid of ruining them. I mean, they do cost 19 euros which is a lot if you are on a budget.
Apart from the application, they also felt really heavy and uncomfortable on my eyes and, given the fact that I have relatively small features, they looked huge and did not blend well with my face. They also cast a shadow on my eyes which made me look really harsh, especially from afar, as you can see in the picture above. I normally rock my baby face so that really didn't work with my aesthetic.
Don't get me wrong, the lashes are beautiful. They look gorgeous and really amp up any makeup look and give you doll eyes. They just were too uncomfortable for me - to the point I removed them before heading home - and too dramatic. And you guys know I am all about the drama when it comes to makeup so, if you are not about that life, I would suggest steering clear from this particular style.
It makes me sad since I have seen so many girls rock them on Instagram and I wish I loved them more because they are really gorgeous. I just don't like things annoying me on my eyes.
I don't know if any of you guys have tried this style or these lashes in general, but I would love to hear your opinion on these. You know I don't like to write negative things on here or surround myself with negativity in general, but I just wanted to give you guys my honest opinion, like I always do.
