First time lash user...
and I'm so happy I went with S!lly George. I attempted to do my own lashes once before from Shein and I realized very quickly that it was not a skill I possessed. For years I've just kind of put the idea of getting lashes I could do myself on the back burner, waiting for the technology to get a little better.
Not only did S!lly George have great reviews from first-time users, but they were in a price point I felt comfortable with, knowing I would definitely be messing these up the first time. Which - of course - I did. I started on a Saturday. Sunday, I ended up losing the lashes on the left eye, but I realized that I don't have a lot of natural lashes in the corner of my eye, so that clump didn't quite have a great base to hold onto, and I rubbed my eyes in the shower out of habit, causing them to come right off. My right eye stayed strong.
Now since replacing those lashes, I've only had to redo that very last one, so they've officially been in place for five days, and I don't see them going anywhere in the next few days either. I do use a translucent powder to keep the stickies away - which works wonders - and I did trim them a bit because even though these are a "natural" volume, they're still much longer than my natural lashes and looked a little Cindy Lou Who-ish.
That being said, I do wish they were all just a touch smaller but cutting them before had is not a big deal at all. I love the fact that I haven't worn mascara in almost a full week. I'm still getting used…
