Glam By Manicare Magnetic Lashes Reviews

They look like normal falsies but have tiny magnets on them. I got the natural ones so they weren't too out there. My first go was a bit fiddly but after that I got the hang of it and I also watched a few videos on application which helped.

For a false lash gumby like me, once I got the hang of it it really worked well and it was good not to be fiddling around with glue.

I thought they looked natural and were heaps easier than the more traditional ones. Next time I might branch out and get the longer ones as I think i'm a convert.

Its a two product system, so reviewing the lashes solo is a bit tricky as you wouldn't buy them without the eyeliner. The eyeliner has magnetic particles in it to attract the lashes . So glue is no more.

The lashes themselves are great quality and fit my eye shape perfectly. Only thing is Im not sure of what would happen for people who needed to trim them as theres only 3 magnetic strips across the lash.

I received Khloe - they were very dramatic - perfect for a night out!

I received the natural style of lashes, they were the right size for my lids, and once applied, I wouldn't say they looked natural, but they definitely gave me a subtle glamour vibe.

Other than tiny magnets these are pretty much like any other eyelash set. I disliked the glue attaching the lashes to the pack, but that's a pretty nit-picky comment isn't it!

Will definitely be looking to try other styles!

The lashes I had were in the style "Khloe" and were labelled intense, but I would definitely wear these as everyday lashes and I feel that they are on the cusp of going out and everyday. The lashes need to be applied with your hands as tweezers would have the magnets stick to them rather than the liner, which can also get a bit fiddly. When the liner use to stick them down started to crack on the corner of my eye around 6 hours after application, the corner magnetic on the lash did lift as there was nothing for it to stick to. Saying this though, even thought the end had lifted, the lashes never fell off, even in the wind. At first I could definitely feel the extra weight that the magnets added, but after 15min or so, I didn't really notice it anymore. The lashes had sticky spots underneath that held them in the tray instead of attaching by the band, which made it hard to remove the lashes from the tray without distorting them. For days when I do want to wear liner, I would definitely consider using them, and would also recommend to my friends who are confident using liner, but not lashes.

I picked these up in a vault as part of the magnetising lash system, which i LOVE.

The Khloe lashes are meant to be the more dramatic, fuller ones but I feel like they could be even bigger. So saying, they def add impact and are fairly easy to use.

I dislike the packaging - the glue spots are odd as they're too sticky and you have to be super careful extracting the lashes. The case is also ridiculously big for a set of lashes - such a waste of plastic.

The magnets are possibly a little too noticeable but once on and in place with your eyes open they're not so bad.

Application is reasonably straightforward - the liner works like normal liner, and then you attach these; the left/right thing is to do with the curve being correct and the slightly shorter lashes being in the middle, i think. Removal is simple, and then it's just a case of washing your face as normal.

Will def keep using these but I do hope they bring out a much more dramatic version as well :D

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!!

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.

For the Glam By Manicare Magnetic Lashes trial, I had the natural Willow lashes. I prefer to have naturally enhanced lashes over bold falsies and these certainly achieved that.

The lashes had three magnets (beginning, middle, end) and curved to the lash line with the magnetic liner.

What I did notice with these lashes is that there wasn't a huge variance in length from the inner corner to the outer corner, and with the magnets they aren't able to be cut shorter.

If these lashes were more easily adjustable they'd get a 5/5, but other than that I felt they were fantastic.

Glam Pro Magnetic Eyelash system by Manicure consists of two products: a magnetising liquid eyeliner, and magnetic eyelashes, both of which are sold separately.

Once the eyeliner had been applied and was completely dry, and mascara had been applied to my natural lashes (see separate eyeliner review for tips), I lifted the Natural magnetic "Willow" eyelashes out of their case. They're lightweight, reusable, and simply clip onto the eyeliner with three little magnets situated on the lash band (one in the centre, and one on each end).

To apply, I hold the false lash with my fingertips and place it as close to my natural lashes as I can, lining the outer edge of the lash with the outer corner of my eye before sticking down the centre magnet. I then attach the outer magnet and then secure the inner magnet, and Voila! No mess, no fuss, perfectly blended lashes. If you need to blend your natural lashes into the falsies, simply use your finger to curl and push your natural lashes upwards. To remove them, grab the outer edge of the lash and gently pull them off.

One thing I didn't like about this eyelash system is that the video on Manicare's website says you can simply pull the "Willow" lashes off and clip on the more dramatic "Khloe" lashes to go from a day to night look. When I removed the "Willow" lashes to show someone what the magnets looked like, it pulled off chunks of eyeliner off my eyelid, so it's not as simple as they say. The magnetic eyeliner does need to be touched up before they can be reapplied, its not as simple as take off and stick back on.

This happened the second and third times that I used the lashes, and I double checked the Manicare video to see if it happened to their "Glambassador" as well, and it looks like it does, although they sneakily cut the video and she comes back with perfect eyeliner before putting fresh lashes on. If you know what you're looking for, you can see where the magnet lifts off her eyeliner in the video, just before they cut the scene. (I'll post a pic of what happened with mine on the Photo Wall).

Overall, this magnetic eyelash system was much easier to use than traditional lashes and eyelash glue. They're easier to fit, as there's nothing sticky on the eyelash band, so you're able to place them right up against your lashes and move them around before having to clip them in place. I loved trialling this system and even though the initial cost is a bit pricey (it's the eyeliner that's expensive), once you have the eyeliner, replacing the lashes if/when they wear out is actually not that expensive. I'd recommend this eyelash system and will definitely continue to use them.

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!
