Princess Lee lashes were an urban myth to me. It's mentioned in asian magazine and talk shows but I didn't see them at all when I was in asia. I tried looking for a supplier online and didn't come across any. So when KKCenterHK.com reached out to me to try some products from their online shop I went directly for the Princess Lee Lashes.
KKCenterHK.com is based in Hong Kong. They have a huge selection of lashes, wigs, and other beauty supplies. They do ship internationally but the shipping can take some time. It took about 2-3 weeks to get to New York from HK which isn't horrible considering the snow storms we've had the past two months.
I requested for the Princess Lee #6 and #8 lashes. I wasn't sure what to make of the Princess Lee lashes at first. They didn't look so special in the box, #6 and #8 are very similar with #8 being slightly bigger. It took me a few tries to really appreciate the lashes. The band is thin, comfortable, and durable. You can reuse them several times. The band also holds a curve very well and can be shaped. The lashes are dense and noticeable but not unnatural. I'm really amazed by the quality. They're listed for about $18 for 10 pairs on the website. Well worth it in my opinion.
All in all, I'm smitten. Princess Lee lives up to the hype.
They recommended that I give the ES lash series a try. The one I got is labeled A222. These lashes also very comfortable and easy to use. The lashes are dense, especially by the base. They're very durable and can be worn a few times too. I wish they were a little longer but that's not a flaw, the style I got wasn't my personal preference. I would highly recommend A222 to those that want something natural with added volume. These lashes are more affordable at around $12 for 10 pairs per box. I plan on going back to try longer ones from this series.
Here's the video I did for this:
Have you tried any Princess Lee or ES lashes that you love? Recommend me one or several!
XOXO, M
a222 seems like great lashes!! :D you look gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteprincess lee lashes were highly recommended by the seller i buy from. :) i think i'll be getting mine next week.
ReplyDeleteHow would you say they compare to Model 21 lashes? Are they made of natural fibers or plastic synthetic fibers?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THEIR ES LASHES!
ReplyDeleteBut something that REALLY bothers me is that the more lashes they sell, the more they boost the prices.
I bought a box of lashes for 2,30 like a month ago. Those lashes are now at 4,87. Shipping has gone up double the price as well -_-"
Those are really great prices for how many you get!!! :O So affordable! Where I am if you wanna buy two it comes up to the price of the whole pack of shorter lashes! I should buy these some time :) Great review! I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI love Princess Lee Lashes! But they are so hard to find (real ones). Thanks for showcasing kkcenterhk! Now I can go buy them!
ReplyDeleteBtw, Princess Lee Lashes are made from natural hairs (at least that is what I've learned from other guru's on YT).
very nice~ I get the hand-made natural fiber ones from Taiwan but I do like the way these look!
ReplyDeleteAnd totally - thin band = extra comfort!
princess lee lashes looks nice, the es lashes do look a little short. i think i'll try the princess lee ones.
ReplyDelete@Iyah good for everyday, but i want lonnnger hahaha
ReplyDelete@sugar sugar which ones did you order? :D i hope you likey!
ReplyDelete@Jessica Jean Myers - Makeup Artist supposedly they're made of hair. I think they're a notch up from model 21 in terms of durability but they're also priced higher
ReplyDelete@나니wow the prices have been consistent from when I saw it first till now. I can't believe it's be hiked up so much though >.< crazy
ReplyDelete@Brony love to hear what you think if you do get them! :D

You look pretty and so cute! Yeah, I think u'll look great without falsies too =)
@chandrawoooooo let me know when you do get them! wanna see how you like it!
ReplyDeletePrincess Lee are not made from human hair at all. There are a lot of website or youtube gurus said that they are made from human hairs, but they are not. I've asked directly from the owner of Princess Lee manufacturer, not sure whether it is synthetic or natural fibres, owner just say it is made of "qian wei" (fiber). But it is true that each single strand is hand sewn onto the band.
ReplyDeleteCould u post up some pictures of u wearing these eyelashes?
