Review (4/5): Much easier than glue
This was my first attempt at using magnetic lashes; there's a small learning curve but oh my gosh - SO MUCH EASIER than the old eyelash glue that comes in a separate tube! They're very comfortable; like any false lashes they feel weird at first but after about 15 minutes I forgot they were there & wore them all day with no issues. They stay where you put them, they DO NOT budge until you pull them off. No glue melting or flaking off into my eyes, obviously that's a big benefit! They look super dramatic with pretty minimal effort.
I'm a little confused as to why it's best to apply the lashes when the eyeliner is half-dry but still tacky; is there glue built in to the liner as well as magnets? If you need to reposition them, you have to reapply the eyeliner because the lashes pull some of it off. The eyeliner is very wet when you apply, so be careful - you have to shake the tube before application, and when I pulled the brush out, it spewed eyeliner onto the wall (and it was not super easy to remove). So that's the learning curve part, now that I know I'll avoid those pitfalls.
The one unavoidable pitfall is that it is INCREDIBLY difficult to remove. I used 3 different types of makeup remover & still needed to scrub my eyelids for a good 10 minutes to get all of it. Not great for the eyelid wrinkle situation! I slathered on a lot of pampering eye cream afterward because my lids were a little sore. I guess I'm glad it won't wear off halfway through the day, but geez!
Anyway, despite the difficulty removing it, I'm pretty smitten. I used to love wearing false lashes but they were just so much trouble that I gave it up a few years ago. Now I love them again & they're easy!! I want to order all the lashes!
