Review (5/5): Great eyelashes for a beginner
I'd never work fake lashes before. I've always been curious but was scared off by the adhesive and the need to carefully place them, etc. Then I learned about magnetic lashes. These are great! You need to be pretty good about applying liquid eyeliner in order for this to work, since the magnetic stuff is a liquid liner. I pop that on my eyelids and then let it dry entirely. Make sure you use a fairly thick strip of it, otherwise the lash strips can start to pop off at the edges. Then you can pop on the magnetic lashes and voila, you're ready to go.
The magnetic liner hasn't given me any reactions or issues thus far, and the lashes themselves look great. I use the ones on the lowest row, which create a very dramatic effect that's just slightly larger than my natural lashes. The other two are far more dramatic. My natural lashes are thick, dark and long, so I didn't trim and they still look pretty normal.
Now that I'm more comfortable with these, I'd consider getting another set and cutting them so I can place individual lashes or pieces of lashes. But overall these are WAY easier than adhesive, and I like using them as an alternative to mascara lol (I love mascara but HATE removing it) I use a makeup removing lotion followed by micellar water, on a soft cloth, to remove. It comes off pretty easily, although sometimes a little clumpily.
The only reason I'm not giving these a higher review is because the magnetic liner has a terrible smell. They've put some kind of perfume in it that's supposed to be floral? I don't know but it smells like a chemical bouquet and the scent lingers even after the adhesive has dried. They should absolutely make this unscented if they can.
Other than that, good product and a great way to try magnetic lashes if you're curious about them.
