Glam By Manicare Pre-glued Lashes - Billie

I really love the idea of pre glued lashes as I am usually quite impatient when waiting for glue to get tacky! These definitely were sticky & would be amazing for people who wear a thick winged liner. Although I don't usually wear eyeliner & so the glue strip was very visible. I also found the application was quite hard as I have quite long eyelashes, the glue wanted to stick to my lashes on the way to my skin & would keep getting caught up. Love the idea but just not quite for me. I would definitely recommend these to a friend as they are super easy to use!

I love the idea of pre glued lashes and they are great however I did find they were not long enough, so the band of glue/black line was quiet pronounced, this meant using an eye liner to fill the gap between the end of the glue band and outer corner of your lashes. Billie does gives you a great natural classic look with a bit of eye liner to enhance the eyes and give a subtle lashed up look. These are great for a one time use and throw away if you are not a regular false laser user.

Was excited to be picked for this trial. I’ve never used false lashes. Always seemed too awkward. These pre glued lashes definitely made it less fiddly than I’d imagined though. The packaging is pretty simple. The lashes were natural looking so they were delicate looking which meant removing them from the packaging I was worried they’d tear but didn’t Application itself was awkward for me which is most likely me being a first timer with lashes like these. They stuck to my finger more than my lash line and couldn’t quite get them right. I eventually did get them sitting right but I suspect my on/off adjusting them early on meant that the glue wasn’t quite holding as it should have been. Once they were on they looked lovely and very natural. I kept checking them thinking they were coming off but they weren’t. Later in the evening I felt one feeling a bit ‘loose’ and checked them and could see it lifting. I eventually removed them both. I suspect my inexperienced application compromised the glue hence they didn’t hold as long as I’d hoped Great concept and if you’re a regular false lash user I suspect these would be easy but for me I found it tricky and given they’re a one use product they’re probably not for me unless I got the hang of it. Really glad I got to trial these. I wish I was better at applying them to really love them

I have never used pre glued lashes and I found these easier than I thought it would be. They were easy to line up and stick on. They look lovely and natural and super easy to remove. I would purchase and use again.

I was very excited to try these out and see what they were all about! Packaging is a big think for myself and they do look good in what they come in. The lashes themselves are really pretty and are a perfect natural lash! However I’m not a fan of how thick the band is and they’re super sticky!! You definitely need to know where you’re putting them or you’ll peel off your eyeshadow like I did myself. I think if they had a thin band on them I would love them so much more! They are very sticky and lasted the whole night I was out so super impressed with that.

Until I tried these Manicare Glam self adhesive Lashes I was a self applied lash virgin. Now I’m a little wiser but no expert. The packing was simple and stylish & the lashes were easy to get out without causing damage. The instructions on the back of the packet were pretty straight forward so I got my tweezers & magnifying led lit mirror and sat myself at the table for maximum stability as I’d had visions of potentially sticking both sets of lashes together. As instructed I carefully removed the first lash, checked it for length & popped it into place. Easy peasy. No adjustments required & I was feeling confident enough to give myself a lash laden wink. Unfortunately lash no. 2 wasn’t quite so easy. The box said to store the lashes in a cool, dry place but somehow lash no.2 must have gotten quite warm while I applied the first one as it was really stuck to the plastic. It reminded me of sticky chewing gum so I popped it in the fridge for 10 minutes which helped a bit but because I was forced to stretch the glue to remove the lash from it’s packing the result was what looked like a furry caterpillar that had gotten a fright & curled in on itself. Sadly when glue is involved there was no coming back so I opted to spend the afternoon with only one lash on-thankfully I didn’t have to go out anywhere. The lash that worked looked great and surprisingly natural. I was genuinely pleased with the results. Though the instructions failed to mention it’s best to pre-curl your natural lashes before applying mascara to both the natural lashes and the stick ons otherwise it looks like you have two sets of eyelashes. I only knew to do that because I have had lashes applied in the past for modelling purposes. The lashes are lightweight & the glue gives the appearance of black eyeliner. I found the density was just right. Thick enough to look lush but not obviously fake. The length did brush against my glasses but that happens when I use lash extending mascara anyway. The lashes lasted for several hours & were easy to remove with no residual stickiness. My only disappointment was the lash that failed. This product isn’t expensive & true to it’s word, I didn’t react to the glue. I will probably try them again but buy 2 packs & hope to get lashes on both eyes. Though it would be better if they came in a 4 pack-just in case. I would recommend the brand, but I would also explain what can go wrong, which is why I gave it a 3/5.

Stoked to be accepted on this trial. The lash style is gorgeous and fluttery. Is as easy to apply as one would imagine being pre glued. However, I found it didn't stick as well compared to standard glue which I found surprising. May be a contributing factor, I wore the lashes after putting on my eyeshadow. May be that is why it didn't stick as well? Probably would have better staying power if applied alone without eyeshadow.

Given my experience with this type of lash, I still prefer the old school glue over these pre glued. Think these would be a great starter product for these new to lashes.

I like the natural lash length of these and them being pre glued did make them a bit easier to put on. But for a lash novice like me, I still don’t think I got it exactly right. Also the lash band is very thick and noticeable, which would be ok if you were doing a full face of glam but I was going for a natural no make-up look as the lashes were a short natural length. But the lash band was a bit dramatic for what I was looking for and really needed to have some eye liner to go with it. I did appreciate that they are cruelty free and latex free, which makes them more accessible. But they are just one use, which makes them different to other lashes I’ve used before that you glue yourself. So it does mean that they don’t seem as sustainable. Still these could be a good choice if you are just wanting to wear lashes for a special occasion.

So i have tried a million types of lashes and i wear false lashes every weekend so i was super stoaked to be a part of this trial team! Firstly i didnt love the Billie lashes as i do prefer more dramatic lashes but thats just my opinion so that was okay. I found these surprisingly super hard to apply, the lash band was really thick so without eyeliner i don't think they would've looked very good, the adhesive was really good they stuck on so well but my issue was i like to play around with my lashes and get them looking perfect but i found these really difficult as they stuck straight away so i couldnt really position them how i wanted to with ease. I sometimes struggle to stick lashes to my inner corner but these stuck down which was really good. They lasted the whole day and night as i had a day event then a night event so that was a huge bonus! I dont think i would be buying these in the future though as i really didnt like the way the lash band looked and i felt like i struggled more with these than regular false lashes.
