Some improvement needed

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.

Cool concept but left disappointed.

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.

Tips: Watch the application video online.

Impressed!

I trialled the Glam lashes in Intense #65 Khloe. The lashes are full and luscious, very flexible and soft and super easy to apply with the magnetic liner!!! The lashes are super fine and slightly crisscrossed to create that dramatic, textured look. These lashes are a real game changer when used with the magnetic liner and saved me heaps of time not having to wait for glue to dry!!! The width of the lash was perfect for my eye shape and I didn’t have to trim anything off. They definitely exceeded my expectations and I will be trying the natural lash too for an easy daytime look!!

Tips: Great for a night out!!! Apply two coats of liner for best adhesion.

Magnetic lashes - Type : 65. Khloe

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.

Tips: Use mascara like you would with glue on lashes before application as they blend in much better and give a fuller effect.

Died and gone to heaven!

Oh. my. goodness. These lashes! I love wearing lashes, and frequently wear them for stage work and performances, but I hate how sore and uncomfortable my eyes get with traditional glue-on lashes. These are light and comfortable and they stay put! I was a little dubious about whether the lashes would shift or move while I was wearing them, but once these babies are on, they don't move. This is the first time I have ever forgotten that I had falsies on half way through the night (usually by hour four or so, I want to scratch my eyes out) I definitely recommend these bad boys, they are amazing.

Great idea in concept

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!

Magnetic Lashes

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.

Magnetic lashes

Was very excited to trial this as I’m a huge fan of falsies and love dramatic eyes. Have used the normal glue on lashes by manicare a number of times but first time trying magnetic ones. Easy to follow Instructions are on the pack and they are priced similarly to the glue on lashes. I received the Willow natural looking lashes. My natural lashes are long but because I have hooded eyes I find the more dramatic ones look better on me. The lashes has 3 small magnets, one on each side and one in the center. I didn’t need to cut them because glam lashes normally are a standard size for me and doesn’t require any adjustments. However you might have a problem if you do need to cut the sides to make them shorter to fit you eye as there isn’t a way to shorten them without cutting and losing some of the magnets on the side. The lashes were lightweight and easy to apply and blended well with my natural lashes and as described they looked very natural. Personally I would’ve liked to trail the more dramatic one which is Khole. After applying the eyeliner and waiting for it to dry a little, putting on the lash was really easy, however keeping in on was an issue. The inner corner kept on popping up every few minutes which I found really annoying. I have used this 5 times now and every time I find that after a few minutes the inner corner just pops up. Even though I’m just sitting and no wind or crazy eye movements it still pops up and I have to reapply the liner to keep it down. When you take the lashes off it ends up pulling off the eyeliner as well and ends up looking pretty messed up, so you need to reapply the liner,fix the smudge and put on the lashes again. The initial application is so easy but what a shame that the inner corner couldn’t stay down for me. Would have loved this to work but sadly it didn’t.

Amazing idea but still needs work!

I trialed the intense lashes. I found that it was hard to get them to correct size as you don't want to cut off the magnets. There are three magnets along the lash line. I was worried these would be obvious when on but surprisingly they blended in well.

As far as calling these lashes intense...not quite? To me I wouldn't say these are lashes are intense. However the lashes themselves are very nice and seem good quality.

After a few uses the one of the magnets started to come away from the lashes. I feel the magnets need to be one solid strip rather than three individuals. This would make it easier to cut to size and also feel it would create a stronger hold.

Overall great idea but needs some further development to be better than using glue.

I really wanted to love this product....

....but it didn’t really work for me. I’m a daily wearer of a natural a lot of mascara look and minimal eyeliner. I thought this sounded perfect, less time layering mascara and damaging my lashes further (damaged from eyelash extensions) However, I found that with only a thin amount of eyeliner the magnets don’t stick very well. So for a daily natural look it didn’t really work, which is what I wanted it for. The lashes however are nice and very natural. I wasn’t happy that they were glued down by the lash in the box, when I pulled the lash away it had gummy glue residue on it that I had to lightly try pick off. A magnet holding it in would have been better.

Tips: A thicker eyeliner is needed to help magnets stick properly
