Hey frands! Many of you saw my recent live video experiment (pic above!) with magnetic eyelashes on my personal Facebook page, and – even though the lashes themselves that I got from Amazon were all the EXTRA – we were all generally a fan of how they turned out and looked (I mean, eyelashes to your eyebrows can certainly be a look for a glam night or photo sesh).
Before getting into all of ^^, I wanted to backtrack and explain how the above even came about. So, basically, what had happened was… At the end of last year, I decided to buy magnetic eyelashes (the original iteration) from Walmart for, like, $12. I did a live video on those as well, and OH BOY… IT WAS REALLY, REALLY BAD. 1) It was so hard to get the 2 sets of lashes with their magnets to line up and get your actual lashes to click BETWEEN THEM. 2) In spite of the difficulty, I thought I had kinda sorta nailed it, but – in actuality (as my friends LOL’d every time I looked down) – I looked like THIS (& had no idea until I watched later!):
I then started seeing ads for “LIQUID EYELINER magnetic eyelashes” on Facebook and – as creepily happens – magnetic eyelashes became my entire feed! After saving 22 different ads and creating an EXCEL SPREADSHEET (I’m nothing if not extra and efficient), I determined what deals were the most bang for your buck; those are on the bottom with links. However, if someone just wants to go with Amazon and the items below with their “FREE RETURNS” options (I cannot speak to the return policies of any of the other non-Amazon companies), then those links are first. The main difference is that the non-Amazon options seem to offer more variety presently (I will continue to revise this if I see better deals on Amazon or otherwise).
Note: Moxie Lash is selling single pairs for $80! Y’all, when it comes to ANYTHING YOU BUY ON THE INTERWEBS (even stuff being plugged by your most trusted friends including yours truly), do your due diligence, and RESEARCH. Go to Google, Amazon, survey your friends, or whatever.
POST-ORIGINAL SHARE EDIT: The below are absolutely options to still explore but I now, exclusively, use this brand: Lash Liner. I simply found the quality, the anchors, and the ability to reuse the lashes up to 30 times to be ideal. Pics of me below with Seattle (upper left), Portland (every day look, top right) and Chicago (the wow factor, bottom two).
K, so here we go on Amazon offers! (Be sure to read the instructions both in the packaging and reviews for anything you purchase to get the best experience. Also, def let the liner dry and apply it thick enough or twice if necessary. The liquid eyeliner can be removed with any regular makeup remover, and it seems that most lashes can be trimmed.
Note: I have NOT tried all of the above except the very first one. I had also included 2 links previously to Amazon items that I have since tried and REALLY did not like, so I returned them and deleted them from the blog.
The One That I Used (so EXTRA & long but fun for something glam!): One set, $29.99, great reviews, excellent quality, free returns: https://amzn.to/31mFmhK
Three sets (1 pair 5 magnets; 2 same pairs of 3 magnets intended for outer lash; allegedly waterproof/smudgeproof, #freereturns, $29.99): https://amzn.to/2yCln24
Three full sets (all different density/volume/length, allegedly waterproof & smudge-resistant; $25.99; don’t see this as being free returns): https://amzn.to/2YEcsrx
If you DO end up trying any of the above, I would love to hear from you and know what you think!
Enjoy and, until next time,
