These brake even if you gently wiggle them out! The sd10s and sd12s were worse than the longer ones to get out but they all ripped way to easily. I had to remove the top to get what I had left that was useable when I contacted customer service they wouldn’t replace them because she said they warned about this on their site (I didn’t see where it said anything about having to remove the top or even how I had to learn that on the Facebook group) and that they were “still beautiful and that I could still use them even though none of them were ripped in the same way so none matches each other and I don’t like my eyes to not match…… the regular starburst are fine but these are way to expensive for a lash that is worse with tearing than even the Cs! It’s pretty but it’s way to expensive to only be worn once if that because you have to get them out right 1st they are like a lighter S but I combine them both because you don’t get many wears off them either. They didn’t wash in the alcohol either they wash like core gossamers but cost like volume ones.
