Glam by Manicare Xpress Adhesive Eyeliner and Lash Kit LENGTH

Loved the idea behind this! Until it came to testing them out.. I'm not the biggest fan, personally I found them quite heavy on my eyes and I always knew they were there!!! I prefer lighter lashes that you can forget about. I also found the eyeliner to be super sticky and it kept sticking my eyelids to the top!

Ruby-Grace are gorgeous, fluffy, multilayered with the perfect amount of length variation to produce a full lash line. Each lash is perfectly tapered which is a plus for me, combined with the varied length and layers it makes blending into my own lashes a breeze. Usually I’m not fond of a thick lash band, especially one that is solid black because it makes blending into my lash line impossible, for these Glam XPress lashes it definitely is a bonus! The band is flexible enough that it doesn’t feel stiff or hard to manipulate into place, the black makes it blend nicely into the adhesive eyeliner which is helpful while getting used to using this combo. The adhesive is really nicely presented in a sleek gold plastic pen with a cap that is easy enough to remove and clip back on securely without popping off on its own. Definitely easy to throw in your handbag for on the go applications which is something you don’t get with a lot of lash adhesives. The tip is a sturdy felt tip with the perfect amount of flexibility, both thick and thin lines are easy to achieve and the product itself is opaque, deep black that dries pretty quickly and retains a tackiness to it. This is definitely where I had a bit of trial & error. I’m used to letting my lash adhesive become a bit tacky before applying the lashes, with this product it’s very fast moving needing to draw on eyeliner that looks acceptable before quickly applying the lash. I found drawing on a basic line, adhering the lash then going in and fixing up the lines to get them even was best followed by a touch of black eyeshadow over the top to get rid of the tackiness. Removal is simple, gently pull off lashes then remove makeup with an oil & butter based make up remover balm, it’s my current go to which gets rid of even the most stubborn waterproof makeup. I’ve worn these a total of 7 times now, the first day I had a few mishaps with an edge coming lose but it was simple enough to fix, since then though I haven’t had any issues with them coming unstuck. They’re definitely a nice option to have for when I want something with a bit more ‘OMPH’

I'm not a pro lash applier, but I have used them in the past. I always had trouble lining the lash to the glue. This was much easier because the glue is a black line - easy to see, easy to line up!

I received the Ruby-Grace style, a long lash style. I needed to trim to fit my eyes, but that was very easy.

The liner was ok to apply, not as smooth as my usual eyeliner pen, but it is adhesive too so I wasn't expecting it to be incredible. I ended up removing the first attempt, and going again with a slower hand.

The lash band is quite thick and stiff, i'm assuming it will soften with use, but I do recommend gently flexing the lashes before applying just to make them a little more pliable.

The lashes stuck easily and stayed put until I removed them. Once we're out of lockdown I'll be looking to try more for sure!

I grew up dancing, and doing productions, exams and competitions - these lashes were a life saver! Affordable and easy accessible. Easy to apply and can be used many times after initial use. I used these lashes for my high school school ball. For every occasion, i found these always stayed on well. Manicare have a great range of different lashes for any occasion!

Sometimes, even the best mascara doesn't cut it and some nights call for a more dramatic eye makeup look, but if you want to look put together with minimal effort these eyelashes and eyeliner are a winner. The eyeliner is easy to use and the flexible felt tip makes it super easy to create the perfect winged look and the lashes latched on really quickly.

For the past week I have added these lashes to my full make up that I wear to work daily . I was excited to get on this trial .I’ll admit I’m not the greatest at eye lashes. I was keen to give it a try.

Packaging comes in a box with a plastic clear case . I brought this case daily to work with me just in case these lashes come off .

I did a patch test as I’m sensitive to most eye lash glues . It makes it difficult for me to wear lashes . I was happy when my skin was ok with these lashes . I tried them on they were a bit a long I cut them down to size .

I put the eye liner across the base of my lash line . I also put some on directly on the base of the lashes . It sticks on perfectly . I find the inner corner of the lashes detached after five hours wear . I will take the adhesive pen with me to work tommorow see if it improves . I use tweezers to put them on .

Their beautiful full lashes . I’ve had good comments and bad when they slowly come off during the day . I must say it is an extra step in my make up taking an extra ten minutes of my prep time before work .

Honestly I’m shocked that I have managed to pull lashes off at work especially with my one hour window to get ready . Today I did a full make up beat under 30 minutes with lashes . Even if I get it wrong I’m not afraid .

I would definitely buy more lashes from this brand to collect . I work a eight to nine hour day it wore reasonably well . I would recommend to give this a try .

Manicare's new Glam Xpress Adhesive Eyeliner and Lash Kits consists of an all-in-one hypoallergenic eyeliner pen (black eyeliner adhesive in a slim gold felt-tipped pen style packaging) and a set of false eyelashes.

The eyelashes come in three different styles: Ella-Rose, which has a crisscrossed mink effect lash style for a natural and soft appearance (Natural, blue box, #71).  Ruby-Grace lashes are more defined than Ella-Rose, with a multi-length mink effect style (Length, green box, #72).  Mia-Louise lashes add intensity with a voluminous mink effect lash style for a statement finish (Intense, pink box, #73).

I got Ruby-Grace, the black and green box of lengthening lashes.  According to the box they're quick, easy, reusable and cruelty free.  Simply shake the tube well, apply the eyeliner and press lashes on top for instant application ... It sounds too easy to be true!

I've been applying false eyelashes for years, so applying lashes is not something new for my, but this line and stick method is definitely different.  The Glam Xpress Adhesive Eyeliner is applied directly along the top of the natural lash line, just like a liquid eyeliner, and then the strip lashes are just pressed on for instant application.  There's no applying the glue to the lash strip, waiting for 30 seconds for it to go tacky, sticking the lashes to the eyelid, and then having to touch up liquid eyeliner to disguise any patchy glue sections.

I will admit that the first time I used this pen-style liquid eyeliner adhesive that it was a little tricky.  After checking the fit and trimming the lashes, if necessary, I applied the liquid adhesive.  The first eye (my left eye, I'm right-handed) went fine, it all worked perfectly, the lashes stuck and application was perfect on first try.  On the second eye (my right eye, which I usually battle to apply eyeliner to), I used the adhesive liner exactly as I would a liquid eyeliner, and I got a little too close to the inner corner of my eye, which promptly smudged and ran into my eye once I'd closed my eyelid and was trying to apply the lashes.  This adhesive stings!  I quickly rinsed my eye before touching up my make-up on that eyelid and trying again.  But now my eye was a little weepy, and the lashes wouldn't stick to the outer section of the eyeliner adhesive.  Eventually it stuck, and the lashes were comfortable to wear and stayed stuck all day.

The next day I tried the eyeliner adhesive with a different set of lashes.  They're a different brand with an extremely thin, almost invisible lash band.  I wanted to really test this adhesive out and see if it would work with different types of lashes that I own.  The thinner band was a little more tricky to stick onto the adhesive, as it was difficult to see where the band was against the black eyeliner, but once I'd lined it up, it stuck and stayed on all day.

I initially wondered if these were going to be more fiddly than usual lashes - I mean there are 2 things to nail here - liner application and lash application, and yet somehow by mashing up the process, its easier and faster!

I received the Length lashes - quite natural, but longer than my usual lashes. So I'll probably use them for evenings out more than day time use. But they're not so dramatic that Ru Paul will be calling asking for tips.

I firstly checked the lashes for size - they're quite a generous eye width, I gave mine a wee trim.

The liner applied easily and evenly. It was no different to using a liquid liner really - except this contains lash adhesive.

I worked one eye at a time and was just so amazed at how easily the lashes adhered to the black liner adhesive. It gives a really smooth transition from lash line to liner line, and makes them look more natural.

They removed easily after about 6 hours wear and of course if you look after the lashes you can use them again and again.

Top marks.

I was super excited and intrigued to try the Glam by Manicare Xpress Adhesive Eyeliner and Lash Kit and had pretty high hopes. I received the natural lashes which are stunning and look great once on. The liner applies really easily, thinly and evenly and is a great black with good coverage. As per the instructions, the lashes need to be applied straight away, (unlike glue which needs a chance to get a little tacky). I have unfortunately sensitive eyes so that could be part of the problem but I found that both ends would lift almost instantly. I tried adding a little more liner all over and at each end with little luck. For a natural lash, too much liner would defeat the purpose. I may try them again, as they are pretty.. just not for me, or not today!
