Glam By Manicare Pre-glued Lashes - Billie

These pre-glued lashes were so easy to apply, lightweight on the eyes and lasted all day! They definitely delivered and did what they said they would. The best part is that you don't have to wait for the glue to dry, and you don't have any troubles sticking down the corners. However, the Billie lashes say they are a 'natural' looking pair of lashes, but unfortunately the thick band (where the glue sits) makes them look bulky along the lash line. I love the idea of a pre-glued lash and how easy they are to apply, but if you're after a natural lash keep in mind that the lash band on these is quite thick.

Not sure how useful my review will be, I’ve only once before managed to apply fake lash strips successfully and unfortunately couldn’t get these ones positioned right on my eyelids so I can’t say anything about staying power If the lashes. What I didn’t like (besides my inability to get them in the right place which was probably more user error than an issue with the product) was how thick the black glue line was. I don’t usually wear a thick liner and the glue line being black really stood out on me. What I did like was both the length and spacing of the lashes. Again as i don’t go for heavy eye makeup an option which adds slight length and volume is my preference to something heavy, so I’ll look out for something like the Billie lashes next time I want extra lashes for an event.

I’m pretty much a party lash girl and being party season I tried these out for an event. It’s the first time I’ve used pre glued lashes so it was great not to have to apply glue as a first step. They went on pretty easily but I must have had a bad technique as they lifted in the corner straight away - but not enough for me to peel off and start again. I think they looked fabulous regardless and stayed on really well for 6 hours. I didn’t mind that the band was quite thick looking but I did feel they were quite heavy on my lids. I definitely prefer the feel of the thinner clear bands and will go back to a different lash next time instead of these even with having to buy separate glue. A bit sad too that these are single use and get binned after one outing.

I had never tried stick on lashes before these, so this comes from a point of view of a complete noob! Unpackaging the lashes was easy enough, and they peeled easily off the tray. Application was a little fiddly, I used tweezers to help get them in the right place, but didn’t take more than 5 minutes. They have added a very natural looking fullness to my existing lashes. A good day-to-day style not an extravagant out on the town look. I did not find them overly comfortable. I wouldn’t say they were uncomfortable, but I definitely did not at any stage forget I was wearing them throughout the day. I found myself wanting to rip them off multiple times during the day to free my lids from the weight and awkward feeling. I did persist throughout the day however and found they did stay stuck on very well. I did not have any lifting at the edges so good longevity. I would not use them again. I found the feeling of them to be very annoying. This may not be specific to this particular brand though, and more my feelings on stick-on lashes in general.

I was very excited to try this as of course I wanted beautiful full lashes! I like the way the lashes are visible through the packaging. After reading the instructions, I used my tweezers to lift the lashes from the package. It really sticks to it though and you really have to pull it which stressed me as I thought I might tear it, but didn't. Instinct took over and I grabbed the lashes with my fingers. Disaster! Eventually I get the lashes on and it feels heavy and unnatural to me. I don't like it. I can't say anything bad about the product, it just doesn't work for me. I would maybe give the magnetic type a try next time. If that doesn't work for me, I might just stick with my own.

I wanted to love the idea of thesw lashes, no faffing around with glue and waiting for them to dry down. However as soon as I removed these lashes from the packet, I knew the pre-glued band was way too thick to look natural on me. I’m not the kind of person to wear thick eyeliner, so these lashes stood out and made me look like one of those baby dolls with the big eyes. They were so sticky that if I had to readjust them, the lash band actually bent, this was a real shame that they couldn’t hold their integrity. The lashes themselves are delicate and pretty, they would give such a lovely natural look if they weren’t on such a thick band. They would have good staying power but they’re just not for me and I wouldn’t recommend. I will be gluing my own fake lashes from now on to get a more subtle lash look.

I personally did not like these lashes, and I would not use them again. I love the concept and idea of pre glued lashes but they were very annoying to put on and so fiddly. I much prefer magnetic lashes. The glue line was also very thick and noticeable and the lashes were quite small, not enough lash for me to use for my daily wear. The glue line was more prominent than the actual lashes themselves. These weren’t for me

From first glance the lashes look well presented in the packaging. Once unwrapped they are marked L (left) and R (right) which helps before applying. The part which I felt for me was difficult was applying them with 1 set of tweezers as they stuck and realised that the sticky substance is quite finiky, so luckily I had another set of tweezers which helped hold each end of the lash to apply. I tried on my left eye and it seemed to go on nicely, it took me about 3 minutes or so but stood out quite abit which I was not a fan of, as I prefer a more natural look. Then I tried onto my right eye and that's were it went wrong. Because of it's sticky texture which I understand is suppose to hold onto your natural lash it went on a bit squew so I tried to fix it but it kept sticking to the tweezers which made it frustrating. I peeled it off to try again and this time some of the lashes stuck to the sticky part that goes above your natural lash but I reapplied and it just looked awful. To be honest I do not think I would try this product again. It may work for others but it's not a product I would use.

I was really looking forward to trying the out as I tend to struggle with applying falsies and this seemed like the next best thing.

This style is beautiful not too dramatic and the lashes aren’t too long or wide therefore there was no need to trim them.

I tried these lashes over a simple eye makeup, this style is more suited to a dramatic eye look as the pre glued lash band is quite dark and thick. Not a problem though.

I took the lashes off the tray with alot of excitement and applied them to my eyes. The lash did not stick though. I could see that they were sticky in some parts like towards the end of the lashes however not entirely secure, the front of the lash just would not stick. I tried to apply some lash glue to it to help however due to the thick silicon glue that was already on the lash the lash glue wouldn’t hold and would just slid off.

Unfortunately I was left disappointed as these did not work for me the way I hoped they would.

This was my experience, please don’t let my opinions put you off trying these lashes as you might have more success than I did.
