I've tried everything; magnetics, extensions, strip lashes, individuals, etc. There is nothing out there that can compete with the look and convenience of Lashify gossamers. I've now been using Lashify for almost 2 years and I feel like I hit the jackpot. The first time I tried them, I took my time, learned some basic techniques and went through a very short trial and error process. By my 4th time applying these gossamers, I can now lash myself in 5 minutes or less. I apply extra bondage the first night and then periodically as needed and my lashes stay on for a week or more. They are weightless. Removal is a snap too with no damage or bald spots along my lash line unlike extensions. I LOVE LASHIFY and hope they're around for years to come!
