ArdellFaux Mink Lashes -Wispies 4-Pack

What Happened?!

I used to LOVE these lashes and wore them daily for years—they’ve always been my go-to lashes. Lately, I’ve noticed a major decline in quality, and I’m super disappointed. 9 times out of 10, the lash band breaks while I’m just trying to remove the lashes from the box. On the rare occasion I manage to get them out without the band breaking, they barely last through one wear before falling apart completely. The lash quality itself has also gone downhill—they’re nowhere near as thick, fluffy, or natural-looking as they used to be. It’s such a shame because these lashes used to be perfect. I wanted them to be my lifelong go-to, but with the constant breakage and quality issues, I’ll unfortunately have to start looking into other brands. Really disappointed in how much they’ve changed, but here’s hoping they bring back the old lashes!

WHERE DID THE QUALITY GO?!

These are (were?) my FAVORITE daily lashes. I have purchased them for years, and almost exclusively just wear these. They lasted for multiple uses, withstood pretty much all wear and tear, and looked beautiful (even after wearing 2+ times). I have noticed in the past few months a HUGE decline in quality, and have also seen this on multiple reviews across the internet. The lash band is now extremely flimsy, and will rip apart or take chunks out of the lash when you are trying to take the lash out (I am extremely gentle and have used this lash for years...it has never ripped before). If it survives removal from the package, it will rip apart when you are taking it off your eye. The band also does not curve as well as it did before, and now barely shapes itself to my eye. I wasn't sure if this was a bad batch that I'd purchased, so I have since tried purchasing the lash from different stores at different times over the past few months -- the Ardell website itself, Ulta, CVS, RiteAid, etc..... it's now been multiple times that this problem has occurred. I will be heartbroken if I have to give up using these and find another lash to serve as my daily go-to, but that's where I'm at. Ardell, PLEASE fix this for your customers who have been loyal for years.

LOVE THESE, but cheaper in stores

I've never been a lash fan but I put a pair of these on and absolutely 100 percent fell in love. They look amazing, aren't heavy and they're just amazing.... but the 4 pack of these were about 4 dollars maybe 5 dollars LESS expensive at rite aid than they are here.. Shouldn't it be the other way around with it being less expensive buying it online from the brand's website itself?

Beautiful & Natural Look!

I purchased these lashes to wear for fancy dinners while on my honeymoon, and they looked fantastic! I really liked that that looked very natural while still giving a glam look. Would definitely recommend! (Photos attached- 1 photo with only 1 false lash on vs no lash for comparison, other photo with finished makeup look)

Best lashes!

I have tried magnetic and countless brands of adhesive lashes. As a beginner, these are lightweight, yet they have a beautiful curl! I always get compliments and my eyes don't get irritated.

Love love love these😍. It was my first time trying mink lashes and I love how real the real, how they look natural, and are not heavy! You also can reuse them a couple of times with the proper care.

Not the same as the original wispies :’(

The original Ardell Wispies were by absolute everyday go-to lashes, but I started wanting a more mink-like lash with tapered ends. I was excited to find out that Ardell had made the faux mink Wispies. When I finally found them, I noticed a few things right away. They were difficult to remove from the package, the band is much thicker than the original, and even thicker than the faux mink 817s. They look similar in the box, but on my eyes they don’t look anything like the original Wispies. The inner corner lash hairs are much shorter, even shorter than the faux mink Demi-Wispies and appear overall shorter in general. I get a pokey feeling which irritates my eyes and they just don’t look good. The originals have the perfect length and I love the round design of the lash hairs. The thin invisi-band is excellent, and the longevity is impeccable. I just don’t like the blunt ends as much. I unfortunately have been purchasing lashes from a different brand now. I still try Ardell lashes continually, and hope there will be a lash like the OG Wispies, but in faux mink and 3D would be great. I have some photos to show the differences between the lashes I mentioned.

Beautiful lashes.

I love these lashes. I tend to cut one into two halves and wear towards the middle to the outer eye, which widens my eye. I also have worn them underneath my upper lash and they look beautiful.
