Glam By Manicare Magnetic Lashes Reviews

Got these (WILLOW) in the recent vault haul. Sleek packaging that matches the magnetic liner. Black box, silver writing. Descriptions on the box highlight features of these lashes. A window panel lets you see the lash style clearly.

Trying to get the lashes out of the tray was a trial in testing my patience. It has 2 little glue pads per lash I assume to hold the lashes in place. It was a challenge to remove the lashes without pulling it apart or damaging the magnets on each end. Some of the individual lashes got stuck on the adhesive and I had to use tweezers to separate the clumps.

The lash band has 3 magnets, located at both ends and in the middle. In terms of application, the 3 magnets did the job . Personally i'd like 2 more magnets between the spaces which in theory would make for better staying power. I didn't need to trim these lashes down to fit my eye shape. However if you needed to do this I don't know how you would as there in space with the magnets in place.

Very lightweight and I like the look of these. I wore these during the day at work and it's a nice look. Gives a little something extra but not over the top. I like the idea of these and have found it slightly easier to use than the traditional lash and glue which I can't master at all. I think these would be great for beginner lash wearers but still think the design could be improved.

I like it enough that I want to buy the dramatic set of lashes just to give it a go. Would like to see other lash styles in the magnetic range also.

My first experience with these lashes was trying to get them out of the pack without wrecking them. Easier said than done, since the adhesive keeping them in the box seemed to have coated a good number of the lash hairs completely. Once they were out, and I had managed to remove the adhesive with a clean spoolie brush, I was good to go. Mildly frustrating, not a deal breaker though. It certainly flexed the band in the process!

These are not super crazy lashes in terms of fullness or drama. I had the "Intense" lashes, and didn't think that they were massively dramatic, I certainly have others which are longer and fuller, but I think it's potentially because the magnets have to hold them in place.

The magnets are noticeable when you're wearing the lashes, not in terms of seeing them, but in terms of the weight. These lashes feel heavy, both to apply and to wear. Once I realised that they weren't falling off my face, but were just very heavy, it was easier to carry on with, but it was a bit disconcerting considering the amount of time it took to get them properly attached to the liner in the first place.

They don't appear to be intended to use with mascara to blend with the natural lashes, so I just mascara'd my natural lashes, and then brushed the two together. It made taking them off much easier, and no cleaning off of mascara to re-use.

I don't dislike these lashes, and maybe I'll come back to them if/when they release additional lash styles, they do seem a little pricey to get started (just for the liner), but then there pretty comparable in price to other lash brands.

What I like about this product is it is very wearable during the day and did not have that over the top fake look. They make your eyes pop and are natural, without looking unnoticeable.

PACKAGING Packaging is professional looking and gives clear instructions with clear pictures on how to apply the product with the magnetising eyeliner. The lash tray is the normal thin plastic material with a clear thin plastic lid for protection. Not ideal to pop in your handbag as is the flimsiness of the material is very easy to crush (even with the the tray in the black outer package) and the lid may even slide off. If traveling with them, it would be best to pop them in a toiletry/makeup bag for extra protection and piece of mind. The tray has four sticky dots, two for each end of the individual lash to keep it secure. Be very gentle when peeling off, as the lashes are delicate. I recommend after use, placing the lashes back in the tray and lightly sticking them to the dots so it is easier to peel, and remains its curve in the lash line.

LENGTH The inner corner of the lashes are a good noticeable length which increases nicely to the outer corner in a smooth curve. The curl is not too dramatic so the lashes do not irritate the eyelids, but are just a soft tickle like your own eyelashes when looking up.

MICRO MAGNETS The lashes come with three micro magnets on each, located on each end and in the middle. They are unnoticeable when wearing except in the inner corners as it did not magnetise well. The magnets in the inner corners are not obvious, but look like a thick lash line that didn't stick down properly. This can be hidden by creating a thick line with eyeliner to hide where it lifts up. However it will not be a 'natural', light, daytime look. One thing I find frustrating is the first instruction which is "Try on lashes to check fit and trim if needed without cutting off outer magnets" to me this means the lash line, not the actual length of the lashes. Unfortunately I could not trim them because the magnets are right on the edge of each end. So bear that in mind if your eyes are on the smaller side and often trim ordinary glue on lashes. Another aspect which I found frustrating was the magnetising to the eyeliner. Now I have used magnetic eyelashes of different sizes and styles, and applying these lashes made me feel like a 7 year old putting on make up for the first time. It is the longest I have taken to put on magnetic lashes, even after the first time.

Overall they are pretty but do take practice. I prefer them to glue on lashes as they are a pain and never stick down properly for me, so this is less messy and is adjustable throughout the day, but can be very frustrating with it not magnetising strongly. I will continue to use them when I have the time and an occasion to do so, but will not be a part of my daily routine. I probably will not repurchase as I don't think it's worth the fuss, especially if you are wanting it for daily use.

I don't normally wear false eyelashes as I'm pretty useless at applying them but I do love the extra oomph they make to your eyes so this was a welcomed treat.

I received the natural or 64. Willow lashes to trial. They are criss crossed with some longer and some slightly shorter lashes, quite striking but without that drag queen look.

They came packaged up in a plastic tray, nothing flash but does the trick. They are stuck down with double sided tape so care is needed when lifting them out not to damage the lashes. There are clear instructions on the back of the box and a video on their website to follow.

One thing I like about these false lashes is that they fit nicely across my eyelids without any overhang so there was no need to trim. I wouldn't recommend trimming them anyway as they have magnets right on each end. I was worried the magnets might be noticeable when applied but this wasn't the case.

While I really wanted to like the eyelashes I was left disappointed. They just didn't quite stay put in the inner corner and it took several attempts to get them to stay down for them to just lift up again. I tried many different methods and I even followed their instructions so perhaps I am so useless that the laws of magnetic forces don't apply to me! I look forward to hearing how other reviewers went and any tips or tricks to make them adhere properly.

I tried and tried . These just ended up in the bin out of sheer frustration. Maybe it was me? I felt they didn't fit and they just wouldn't cooperate.

I was so excited to review this system as I've never used falsies before and I loved the idea of magnets to click and go.

The lashes come in black cardboard packaging which encases the lash packaging. This packaging is flimsy plastic with a clear plastic lid thing. Given the lashes are reusable, I thought perhaps the packaging may be prettier (after all, it is Glam) and a bit more robust.

The lashes are handily marked with Left or Right, and are nicely curled. I got the Willow lashes, which have a sort of weave which I wasn’t confident enough to apply mascara to in case I ruined them, but they are dark enough by themselves and the weave effect is slightly dramatic and looked surprisingly natural when on.

On the cardboard packaging, it suggested to check the lashes against your eyes first and trim off any excess. Given there are magnets at the very ends of the lash, I’m not sure how that can be achieved without cutting the magnets off. Luckily, I didn’t have to worry about this.

I found the application of the lashes themselves a little fiddly. The middle magnet is the best at adhesion, but the end and especially the inner eye I had a lot of trouble with, having to apply more eyeliner to try to get the connection. Even then, the lashes would only last a couple of hours max before at least one end would become detached and not stick back down. They would also pull the eyeliner off, leaving it patchy.

Once on though, they look lovely, and as long as the magnets are close to your lash line, they aren’t very noticeable. As even the Willow lashes are black and create a full effect, I didn’t bother applying mascara to my natural lashes. They are also very easy to remove.

Overall, I was disappointed in these lashes. It’s such a great idea but needs some improvement before I would considering purchasing any.

I was excited to be able to get these magnetising lash system in the BR Vault. I haven’t had a liquid eyeliner in a while as it isn’t my everyday look so they end up going off. Also I haven’t been a big user of fake lashes so the whole idea just really excited me.

The packaging is pretty boring. The fake eyelashes are in the standard plastic packaging (is there any company that has less single use plastic for this type of product?). I found that the sticky bits to keep the lashes on the plastic were quite strong and actually ended up moving the lashes around a lot when you try take them off. But I understand the need to be sticky to put the lashes back in there for multiple uses. Also - weird point - I’m not a usual lash user but is there a reason they have a left and right one? Why couldn’t I just use them on either eye? Even after using them - is it in case you have different sized eyes after trimming?

The lashes themselves - I received the natural 64. Willow lashes which is great because that is the look I would probably go after. I really like the lashes themselves, it is a very pretty natural wispy look. Now the first step is to try on the lashes to check the fit and trim if needed without cutting off the magnets. BUT the magnets are at the very outer edge of the lashes so how are you supposed to trim them without cutting the magnets off? I don’t get it. Luckily they JUST fit my eyes. To be fair I could probably do with trimming them a wee bit to get the perfect fit - but I don’t understand how you could know your eyes were too small for them before purchasing. They click on really easily however I did find that you couldn’t take them off without the eyeliner being damaged - but that isn’t a big deal. Also I find them really big in the middle part of the eye so it looks a bit strange to have long lashes near my nose. I don’t find them particularly strongly attached as the middle ones keep coming undone.

Overall this is fun to try but just doesn’t work for me. I don’t get the need to have the same look every time. That you need to use thick liquid eyeliner to use the lashes... why would you want a single look product like that. Don’t get it, won’t be keeping it.

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.

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!
