I was selected to trial the Glam by Manicare Magnetising Magnetic Lashes as part of the Magnetising system and received the Intense lashes.
The lashes come packed in a flat box and they are labelled left and right as each lash tapers off as they reach the inner eye, ever so slightly. The actual lashes are beautiful and soft. There are three magnets on each lash piece- one on each end and one in the middle.
After applying a thick line of the Magnetising eye liner and checking that the lashes would fit my eyes, I began to try and apply them. And tried. And tried. I am by no means an expert at putting on eye lashes but I am reasonably coordinated and somewhat good at using my fine motor skills.
These are SO fiddly to put on. As soon as I got one end attached, the other would pop off. I spent over half an hour before I was ok with it how it looked and then found they were hanging off in less than an hour!
A great concept but just not feasible. I am interested to see if it just me who found them difficult to apply!
I trialled the natural looking lash willow. These are a nice length and not too thick. I really wanted this to work as I love the concept but unfortunately they wouldn't stay put. It said to trim the ends if they were too long however there was no way that you could do this without cutting the magnet and therefore defeating the purpose they were designed for. I have big eyes and these could have been a bit longer but as they blended well with my own lashes it wasn't that noticeable. I used plenty of the eyeliner but with movement they would flick off. I tried using these numerous times but they just didn't work for me. Maybe some eye shapes work better with these?
These would have worked I believe with another magnet or two.
