Magnetic Double Wispies

I was excited to try my first pair of false eyelashes since a health condition has caused me to lose a good deal of my hair, including my eyelashes. I bought several kinds to try out, and this product unfortunately stood out as an absolute failure. I really wish zero stars was a thing. The magnets were NOT magnetic, rending the product absolutely unusable.While that alone is enough said, I thought it worth mentioning that there are two other problems as well.First, the dainty lashes are secured on both ends to the packaging with some kind of super sticky goo. After finally, carefully separating the lashes from the goo, some of said super sticky goo remained on the lashes, causing them to adhere to themselves and clump up. Of course, they also stuck to anything they touched... my fingers, the applicator, a random dog hair... I really can't fathom how anyone would think this method of securing such a delicate product was in any way a good idea.Second, the applicator is pretty much useless as well. Although I couldn't obviously use the applicator with these lashes because the lashes had lost their magnetism, I did attempt the applicator with a different product. Failure. The applicator does not open wide enough, failing to accommodate space for the falsies and for your own lashes, as well as the curvature of your eyelids.Short story: don't waste your time or money on Ardell Magnetic Lashes.

I LOVE THESE!!!But, YES.. YOU NEED A SH*T TON OF PATIENCE!!!I struggled for 20 mins the first/second/third time. Even after reading all the reviews & tips lol.. But, I kept trying bc less money spent, less eye makeup, less time to get ready. For me, it was WORTH it.Only 2 things bothered me:1. The corners lifting due to my eye shape, but I trimmed off ONE magnet & had my EUREKA! moment. They still lift a teeeeny bit, but I'm super okay with it.2. At first, I felt my eyes being dry from wearing all day long. I do have pretty sensitive eyes though. I got used to it after a week or so.Yes, it's A LOT OF WORK.But, once you get the hang of it.. It's sooo worth it.

I use a lot of magnetic lashes - I’ve been using this type of upper and lower magnetic lash for about 5 years now, so I have experience putting them on. This time, I wanted to give Ardell a try since the price point was low. These magnets are far too weak to stay together. Even when physically pinched together while not on my lashes, they do not stay together. Almost to the point where it feels like a bad pair, or quality control issue. Unfortunate since I was excited about these. My recommendation is to try a different brand, especially if you’re new to magnetic lashes!

I really tried hard to use these but these are actually impossible. Tried them with mascara without mascara with the little tweezers without them with my fingers, and I cut the two bottom ones like I read and it still doesn't work. Magnets don't seem strong enough and when I put them together just on their own they barely stay together. Never buying these again.

I love using magnetic lashes. Love the concept and efficiency. When I bought these, I thought the Ardell would be the best lashes from the different sets I got. Let me tell you, I have never struggled so much with magnetic lashes ever till these.I know for some, it’s not easy to apply magnetic lashes. However, these were very difficult. First, they have magnetics glued on the same side for the upper and lower not on the opposite, which is what most magnetic lash strips have. Traditionally, the upper lash has the magnets glued underneath, and the bottom strip has them glued above the strip so that when you apply the two it’s sticks immediately and holds well. But these lashes have the magnets glued underneath the strip on BOTH the upper and lower.I thought this was so weird.So I thought, either it’s defective, poor design, or Ardell intended for these lashes to be paired with magnetic liner. When you see the lashes, they are quite thick. Very dramatic. So what did I do? I TESTED IT OUT FOR Y’ALL! I grabbed some magnetic gel liner and tested a lash strip! They work, but I bought these one specifically to not need the liner because sometimes I don’t want to wear eyeliner! SO! You could do these for all 4 lashes because again, the magnets are glued on the bottom of the lash strip. I also read in the reviews that people were cutting them in half or trimming them. The thing about magnetic lashes is that they are not meant to be cut, and if you need to cut or trim then either the lash type is not working for you, or it’s a poor design. Can you do it though cause it’s your life? Yes, I suppose you can cut the bottom strip in half *(you shouldn’t have to do this). I don’t recommend trimming the lashes because you then run the risk of ruining the magnetic hold and also the weight of them, just try out a new style or brand! Hope this review works for you!So summary, to use these without eyeliner they are pretty difficult because of the magnet design but if you’re using them with magnetic eyeliner you should be fine!*bonus tip!!!! When applying lashes, magnetize the pieces together first and then bend them around for a little while for better application and results!!

These lashes are awesome. Very natural looking. I think most of the negative reviews are because people don't learn how to apply them properly. There are a lot of instructional videos on YouTube. You MUST put mascara on your natural lashes before you try to apply the magnetic lashes. If you gently place the upper lashes on your mascara coated lashes and then place the lower band under your natural lashes these go on in a snap. You should not tear the package open and expect to get it right on your 1st try. It takes practicing a few times to get it down and then subsequent applucations only take a moment. These lashes also hold up very well. I put mascara on them and wash them out after every couple of wears. They are holding up extremely well.
