When it comes to the beauty industry my skills are focussed on editorial/journalism writing etc. Whilst I've had to hand over the last 25 years top make-up artists, hairdressers etc my job was to write about the products, not be skilled in the application - I'm not trained up in that area. This is evident in my Instagram reels where I don't follow the 'influencer' rules and show the product in it's real life state. The same as when I wrote for the press - there was no point exaggerating about a product as quite simply, people know where I live and reputation is everything!
So when I was sent samples of the Eylure collection of lashes, I was expecting to be yelled at by my eldest (lash queen), that I wasn't doing it correctly. I was, and am still expecting people to say on Instagram 'omg look how she's applying those lashes'. However, my job as I mentioned isn't to make a social media post look amazing - it's to report on the ease of use and results of a product! So I was rather expecting to get my 'eyelashes in a twist' when it came to writing a review on lashes - how wrong was I! Welcome to my life Eylure Line & Lash.
The Line & Lash glue is literally a sleek pen that you apply like liquid eyeliner to your top lash line. After applying the glue (I applied 2 layers), you just press down your choice of lash and away you go. It comes in black or clear - I tested the clear. (I really do want to test the black as I can imagine it means no need for applying liner)!
However, as the glue is clear you don't have to worry about any mistakes showing (good thing as my hands are not the steadiest), and it's not scarily 'sticky'. I was concerned I'd feel like I had glue on my lashes however, it simply leaves a light, tacky line. Make sure you shake the bottle before use, and apply the glue all the way along the length of the lash line, so that the lashes you apply adhere fully.
You can see that I'm not blessed with lashes of the 'any' variety, my lashes are light, sparse and pretty much don't exist. So I chose to apply the Eylure Most Wanted Indulge Me 3/4 Length lashes. They come with the glue included however, I wanted to use the Line & Lash (it can be used with any lashes). Now my daughter will tell me that I have to trim the lashes, apply with a special tool etc but for this post I just wanted to 'press them on and go'. Most of us don't have the time to flaff around with tools etc and want to be able to have a dramatic effect in seconds. These gave just that!
They took less than 30 seconds to apply and (as you will see on my little Insta reel), I pulled them and they were staying put! If I was going out I probably would apply mascara to my natural lashes as well, to blend them out better but I am so super impressed with how good the glue is and how easy the lashes are to apply. My eldest will be gifted these - she's been an angel looking after her younger brother whilst my broken ankle very slowly heals. Thank you Eylure!
