I am on my 5th attempt to make Lashify for for me. It is a VEY challenging process to get them on and to have them stay. I now understand why there are so many forums, videos, and information online. I do think they look pretty, but I have yet to master the technique without adhesive visible and to make them stay more than a few days. I was disappointed in the control kit as I thought everything was included in it that I needed to apply the lashes. My disappointment came on the FIRST step which was to pre-cleanse and that was not included - not even a sample! Nor was there any of the Melt Away included to remove the lashes. I ended up having to order more products to finally get my first set on - because I wanted to follow the instructions exactly! My first attempt was a disaster! I ordered the ginger intimate lashes to try because I am a redhead (I will never use the black lashes that came with the control kit!) . I wanted to use the white WL, but it was a mess trying to use the double sided tube (one had the spoolie in black and the other the brush tip in white). I understand less is more, and tried to use only a small amount, but I guess I ended up having too adhesive which then I didn't know how to get off. My natural lashes were all stuck together and you could see the adhesive mess through the gossamers. The second attempt was a bit better and lasted 2 days, but I still didn't think they looked that great, but at least, I had them on. I hate that I have to do so much research about the products and figure out tips about application. The amount of time I have spent researching is insane!! I wanted this product to help save time and money, but I have put so much time and effort and I still feel defeated. I am about to try my 5th attempt and will probably do the 1:1 call to talk with an expert. I read on one of the forums, it took one woman 10 tries, and at this point, I have so much invested that I am determined to make it work. BUT, unless you are a professional or really lucky, it takes A LOT of skill to get everything perfect. Be prepared to read online all the different opinions, watch a ton of videos, etc. to learn all the lingo (lash mapping, lockdown, double bonding, stacking, etc.) I want to love this product and give it 5 stars, but the fact that it is so challenging and takes so many products to apply and maintain, I am only giving it 3 stars. I wish the process was more simple and easy for the average wearer. I am disappointed with my initial experience. I don't know if I will get this to work for me on a daily basis. That's my honest opinion. If I had known going in how difficult it would be, I would not have ordered. I am hoping I can get it to work eventually and not feel so defeated. I am disappointed so far...
