We all love a good set of lashes, so when we had the chance to try out magnetic lashes, we were ecstatic!

Most women love the added volume and glamour of lashes. The beauty enhancement has become wildly popular in the last couple of years. Back in the day, they were created to lengthen lashes on Hollywood actresses. Now we use them for everyday use, which means there has to be versatility and efficiency to the application process.

My comfortability with makeup and beauty products is fairly new. I am a beginner in the makeup game, so I am definitely not a MUA and you won't find booking info on my Instagram, ha! Honestly, I didn't learn to apply eyeliner without assistance until about five years ago. I am so weird about things being near my eyes that I tried my best not to irritate them in any way. Any time I would get my makeup done professionally, I would dread the lash application if it included a glue adhesive because my eyes would water uncontrollably.

Now, I feel somewhat comfortable with applying foundation and other big girl makeup materials and that's thanks to some bomb YouTube beauty influencers. I say all of this to say, if I can successfully apply magnetic lashes, then we might have found the solution to lashes for EVERY girl.

I tried Love Lash, a collection created by Love Light Cosmetics. They are durable, vegan, and cruelty-free magnetic lashes designed for easy and convenient application.

The extensions are designed with the bottom lash slightly shorter than the top. They replicate the natural lash line and follow the natural curvature.

I decided to try out the set of "Zen" eyelashes for a Girl's Night In.

While practicing applying the Serenity set, when removing them, one of the magnets had fallen off.
