The Eyes Have It: The Down Low on Disney Lashes

If you know anything about Karen and I, you know we love false lashes. We seek out special occasions to wear new lashes and have been known to take a selfie or two simply to capture the lashes-- even before selfies were a thing (yes we are old).

Lash Selfie Circa 2008
We have always admired the Disney character lashes and it seems ladies around the world do too. Here is our round up of the top 5 Disney lashes-- with a special shout out to Japanese girls who seem to have this market cornered.

#5: Disney Villains. Who doesn't love to be a little bit bad? These lashes (most available on Amazon for $8.99) will have heads turning. It takes a brave gal to pull off some of these bold looks, but if you like to steal puppies or find yourself sabotaging young love at the bottom of the sea, these may be just right for you.

Bad Ass Lashes

#4: Daisy Duck. I have always had a strange fascination with Daisy's lashes. She is so glam and somehow ends up overshadowed by her BFF Minnie. While the US lash market seems slow in capitalizing off her look she is even hard to locate globally. This set was nowhere to be found (in the obvious places) online-- but I betcha I would find this in every major drugstore in Japan. Road trip anyone?


What? Nobody wants duck lashes?

#3: Maleficent. I know, I already mentioned villains. But with the recent MAC and Maleficent make up collection, this bad girl needs her own shout out. This collection is long gone, but you can find it for a price online. Amazon has these lashes listed at $33. An investment for something this fleeting for sure, but wouldn't it be fun?
If I wear these, do I get Angelina's cheekbones?
#2: Minnie Mouse. A lash list would not be complete without Minnie included. Search for Minnie lashes and options abound. Unfortunately, they all seem to be in the wrong country making looking like Minnie a bit cost prohibitive. I did find some fun ones on Amazon at a reasonable "add on" price. For $9.90 (with a total order of $25) you can get the Minnie lashes below. I'm not gonna lie. I just ordered them.

Japanese drug stores must be heaven

And finally, at #1: No lash list would be complete without a princess or two. My princess of choice will always be Ariel so I was thrilled to find the lash set below right down the street at my local Walgreens. At only $7.99 it's the perfect price point for a gal just trying lashes out for the first time, or some old pros like Karen and I trying to save a few coins.

These really should be waterproof-- I'm just sayin'

Did we miss anyone in our list? Let us know in the comments below. We would love to hear from you.

Crafty Give Away - Or, A Shameless Plea for Twitter Followers

Everyone loves free. And who doesn't love crafts (except my husband)? Which is why we are excited to be giving away one of our crafty Wednesday finds to a random twitter follower. 


Here is the prize:


Minnie Mouse phone charm. This super cute minnie cheerleader charm could be dangling from your phone.




Here are the rules we just made up:


Our goal (because we want something from this too-- nothing is ever free) is increasing twitter follows. So we would love you to follow us at @bestfriendguide. Once you do, leave a comment below with your twitter handle. If you already follow us, leave a comment below saying you already follow (thank you, BTW) and leave your twitter handle so we can verify (not that we don't believe you or anything)

Next Wednesday we will randomly draw a name out of a hat, or throw a dart at a list, or spin around and whack at a piƱata. Let us worry about that part. Your part is easy peasy. 


~Happy following
Davina & Karen

*note* Just in case you are thinking, "well, I have an IPhone and there is no place to put a charm". Here is a handy tutorial for you.

Seeing Spots on The Red Eye

Sometimes you just have to do it. Buy that last minute item in the airport before getting stuck on a plane for 9,000 hours.

I'm about to board the red eye from Portland to Boston. So I bought a neck pillow and I'm pretty sure I picked it because it reminds me of Minnie Mouse.

You be the judge.

Talk to you in a gazillion hours.
