Glam by Manicare Xpress Adhesive Eyeliner and Lash Kit LENGTH

False lashes has always been a thorn in my side when it comes to application. First there was the dreaded glue, wait till dry and stick kind. Never got them on properly. Either too much glue or too little or patches that don't stick at all. Then the magnetic ones came out making it a little easier.

Thus far these lashes as probably been the easiest to apply. Looks great, natural. Stays on all day and didn't remove any of my real lashes upon removal. Will buy again.

Manicare's new Glam Xpress Adhesive Eyeliner and Lash Kits consists of an all-in-one hypoallergenic eyeliner pen (black eyeliner adhesive in a slim gold felt-tipped pen style packaging) and a set of false eyelashes.

The eyelashes come in three different styles: Ella-Rose, which has a crisscrossed mink effect lash style for a natural and soft appearance (Natural, blue box, #71).  Ruby-Grace lashes are more defined than Ella-Rose, with a multi-length mink effect style (Length, green box, #72).  Mia-Louise lashes add intensity with a voluminous mink effect lash style for a statement finish (Intense, pink box, #73).

I got Ruby-Grace, the black and green box of lengthening lashes.  According to the box they're quick, easy, reusable and cruelty free.  Simply shake the tube well, apply the eyeliner and press lashes on top for instant application ... It sounds too easy to be true!

I've been applying false eyelashes for years, so applying lashes is not something new for my, but this line and stick method is definitely different.  The Glam Xpress Adhesive Eyeliner is applied directly along the top of the natural lash line, just like a liquid eyeliner, and then the strip lashes are just pressed on for instant application.  There's no applying the glue to the lash strip, waiting for 30 seconds for it to go tacky, sticking the lashes to the eyelid, and then having to touch up liquid eyeliner to disguise any patchy glue sections.

I will admit that the first time I used this pen-style liquid eyeliner adhesive that it was a little tricky.  After checking the fit and trimming the lashes, if necessary, I applied the liquid adhesive.  The first eye (my left eye, I'm right-handed) went fine, it all worked perfectly, the lashes stuck and application was perfect on first try.  On the second eye (my right eye, which I usually battle to apply eyeliner to), I used the adhesive liner exactly as I would a liquid eyeliner, and I got a little too close to the inner corner of my eye, which promptly smudged and ran into my eye once I'd closed my eyelid and was trying to apply the lashes.  This adhesive stings!  I quickly rinsed my eye before touching up my make-up on that eyelid and trying again.  But now my eye was a little weepy, and the lashes wouldn't stick to the outer section of the eyeliner adhesive.  Eventually it stuck, and the lashes were comfortable to wear and stayed stuck all day.

The next day I tried the eyeliner adhesive with a different set of lashes.  They're a different brand with an extremely thin, almost invisible lash band.  I wanted to really test this adhesive out and see if it would work with different types of lashes that I own.  The thinner band was a little more tricky to stick onto the adhesive, as it was difficult to see where the band was against the black eyeliner, but once I'd lined it up, it stuck and stayed on all day.

This is great! Gone are the days of single use eyelashes! I have applied these three times during the trial period and all three times they worked well and came off well. I'm not sure I'll manage 30 uses, but if I'm careful I suspect I'll get at least 15-20. The eyeliner itself comes in a gold tube with an applicator. It goes on easily and then you just pop the eyelashes on top of that. It's ridiculously easy! I trialled the "natural" line and I really liked the look of these eyelashes. I prefer my falsies to look reasonably natural rather than clearly false. If that's what you prefer, then the natural line is definitely for you. Overall, what a great product. Very easy to use and great to see a reusable false eyelash on the market!

For the past week I have added these lashes to my full make up that I wear to work daily . I was excited to get on this trial .I’ll admit I’m not the greatest at eye lashes. I was keen to give it a try.

Packaging comes in a box with a plastic clear case . I brought this case daily to work with me just in case these lashes come off .

I did a patch test as I’m sensitive to most eye lash glues . It makes it difficult for me to wear lashes . I was happy when my skin was ok with these lashes . I tried them on they were a bit a long I cut them down to size .

I put the eye liner across the base of my lash line . I also put some on directly on the base of the lashes . It sticks on perfectly . I find the inner corner of the lashes detached after five hours wear . I will take the adhesive pen with me to work tommorow see if it improves . I use tweezers to put them on .

Their beautiful full lashes . I’ve had good comments and bad when they slowly come off during the day . I must say it is an extra step in my make up taking an extra ten minutes of my prep time before work .

Honestly I’m shocked that I have managed to pull lashes off at work especially with my one hour window to get ready . Today I did a full make up beat under 30 minutes with lashes . Even if I get it wrong I’m not afraid .

I would definitely buy more lashes from this brand to collect . I work a eight to nine hour day it wore reasonably well . I would recommend to give this a try .

This is the lash product I've been looking for. The glue is applied through a pen that looks the same a liquid eyeliner and is so much easier to apply than conventional lash glue.

The advantage of glue over the magnetic lashes that had a similar eyeliner is that you can cut the glue lashes down to size and have them connect to the skin at every point.

As a way of applying lashes I am completely sold and will never go back to conventional lash glue again.

In terms of formula, it is still glue so don't expect it to feel quite like your eyeliner, for glue it easy to apply and remove. Plus in the pen it doesn't go everywhere. It is important to note that it is black, so mistakes will show. The glue also lasts all day and the lashes remain stick which is essential.

In terms of the lashes themselves, I really like the mink look, they are flattering and standout lashes without being crazy. Big fan.

All in all, it was a real winner for me.

I like the opacity of the liner formula. The brush tip makes it easy to create thin or thick lines. Unlike traditional lash glue where it's best to wait a while for it to get tacky, this formula is at it's stickiest from first application. I did a few test swipes on the back of my hand to see how long it stays sticky for, and it does stay sticky for quite a while. I would even go as far as to say that it never quite dries down completely. It was still about 10% sticky after about an hour, but that didn't prove to be an issue when wearing it. The lashes themselves seem to be quite short. Usually, I have to trim lashes just a tiny bit but these ones could have even been a little longer ideally (I do have big eyes though). Applying them was fairly easy. If you have to reposition the lash, it doesn't get messy or gloopy as I've experienced with normal lash glue. Being able to apply the liner adhesive first means you have more control over the placement so, in that respect, it was easier than normal lash glue. The only issue I had is that if you mess up applying the liner, it's a bit of a mission to clean up (you REALLY have to scrub to get it off!). My eyes did get itchy a couple of times throughout the day but I can not be sure if it was the lash glue or not. Unsurprisingly, if you go over the same area multiple times with the liner (filling in gaps or tidying up lines etc) it is sticky so it can tug ever so slightly, but not to the point that it's unworkable.

Other than that, they were light and comfortable to wear (I had the Natural set). The biggest downside is just removing the liner when you've finished wearing the lashes.

I would use it again and would be interested in picking up the other styles too.

Edit: after using this for a while longer, I've come to find that the eyeliner dries up really fast. So you really only get a few weeks to use the eyeliner. I still use the lashes but with regular lash glue now.

I had the honour to trail this product I’ve worn them twice now.

I found it difficult to get them out of the packaging they were really well attached and I had to be supper cautious not to damage them.

Applying the eyeliner was simple and attaching the lashes was a breeze. I didn’t notice the magnets and they didn’t feel heavy when wearing and they looked amazing ( I trailed the natural ones ) I feel I could wear these daily.

I did find they came unattached at a few points of the day and I looked abit silly had to reapply the liner to that spot and reattach. I’m not sure if I did something wrong but I think it’s defiantly worth noting.

All in all though I really loved them and I’ll be going out to purchase the dramatic lashes as I love a more full look. Wish me luck
