Glam by Manicare Gwen Lashes Review

Glam eye Gwen lashes are, in my opinion a quite full and dramatic looking lash. For the right occasion they are perfect, nights on the town for example, but too lengthy and thick for everyday. The lashes themselves taper at the ends for a natural finish appose to having a blunt cut off point which I liked. The glue that comes with the product wasn't very good and had a messy/poor application, so opted to my own glue after one failed attempt. I did find that I could reuse the lashes which was nice. All in all i would recommend these lashes but would encourage you to not rely on the glue that comes with the product.

As expected these lashes are very full and dramatic. If that is what you are looking for, they are probably the ideal lash for you if you have big eyes and you love the glam look. I prefer more natural looking lashes, however these are good for the right occasion: eg. a dress up party, ball or town. They do look great with dark smokey eyes.

They are a great price and last very well, well worth what you pay. Also for a glue from the packet, it is quite effective and stays on well without having to reapply. The wand makes it easy to apply an even thin layer of glue over the base of the lash.

The biggest downside I think is the shape of the lashes. I find that dramatic eyelashes look a bit better if they have more a winged look, shorter in the inner corner of the eye then quickly increasing outwards to open up your eye. I definitely thought these lashes are too long in the inner corner of the eye. Also I had to trim these lashes as they were too wide for my eye and tended to swamp them (I don't have very big eyes though).

If you love dramatic lashes, these are very glam and full on if you have big bold eyes. But if you are looking for a dramatic but still natural look, I would go for another style.

I was super excited to try out these, as I've only ever used falsies once or twice before. These definitely have their good points, although this particular style is not quite perfect for me.

Love:

--how natural the actual lashes look. I hate it when falsies look blatantly artificial and plasticky, and these definitely don't. They're super soft (does that sound weird?!) and overall look like (INCREDIBLY amazing) natural lashes.

--how easy they are to apply. They've got a really thin, fairly floppy black band, and as long as you let the glue get tacky first, they don't tend to lift up at the corners like some falsies do.

--The glue included is actually really good quality! It lasts well, doesn't smell too offensive, and dries quickly enough that you're not waiting around for hours to make sure the lashes stay on.

--You can reuse these quite a few times (at least three, judging from my own experiences), provided you pick off the excess glue from the lash band.

Don't Love:

--How *big* these particular lashes are. I don't mean that in terms of having to trim the lash band down - I don't have to do that, and my eyes aren't super large; I mean in terms of length and curl. I wouldn't say that these are "drag" style lashes at all, but for me personally they're just too out there. They don't look merely dramatic - I'm fine with that - they just look plain weird, given that they pretty much hit my browbone. I do have slightly hooded eyes, and that probably doesn't help with that. I think that if you have larger eyes, these would look amazing, just not on me. I LOVE the quality and overall look of the actual lashes though, so I will definitely be trying out some of the more natural styles in the range.

these are beautiful lashes! i think their more suited for a night out or special occasion ad they are more dramatic and fuller looking. they give amazing definition to the eyes and a real glamorous addition to any eye makeup look.as per the other lashes in the same range, a little expensive and the glue isnt very good.

I love these lashes, I personally find them really easy to apply. The glue it comes with also so really good. It sticks on perfectly I reckon. Love the styles of all the lashes, very wearable :) xx

These lashes are fabulous, for a chemist bought product I highly recommend, they are luscious, long and really compliment the shape of my eyes. I had no idea they were made of real hair until I read above, but again, lashes of such quality for such a small price ! you defiantly can NOT go wrong !

I chose these for my wedding day! Boy! Was it difficult to get used to wearing them. I had my make up artist put them on, they looked fabulous! The only down side was that after an hour the corner started to come off so had to restick with temporary nail glue! Otherwise they hace a lovely feel to them and made my eyes pop!

I bought these to wear for a special occasion as my natural lashes are pretty lacking.

I found these easy to apply (though the included glue is not the greatest), and they lasted well, and came off easily at the end of the night.

The lash band is quite thick and the lashes are very full and long so the weight may take some getting used to if you are new to using fake eyelashes. For a less dramatic look you could cut each eyelash to make a half lash, which also makes them easier to apply.

These are easily available at Farmers and pharmacies so are a good last minute option. They are often on special at Farmers too.

A good all rounder for a special occasion.

The Manicare Glam Eyes Gewn lashes are bold and dramatic...which is just the way I wanted my lashes on the particular day I bought them. They went perfectly with my black smokey eye and red lipstick, and framed my entire face perfectly. However, these lashes are dramatic and the ones I normally use are more natural looking. I'd definitely buy again, but only when I was wanting that particular dramatic look.

The lashes themselves are very good, easy to use with a nice band. This particular ones are best suited to a dramatic look, which is not one I often go for, so they were a bit too dramatic for me.
