I Wore Magnetic Lashes For A Night Out & This Is My Honest Opinion

I Tried It

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.

  • No messy glue!
  • They are full and natural.
  • The magnets are small and strategically placed.

Cons

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

Overall, I am in love with the Love Lash! They were undemanding and gave me the right amount of volume, creating a dope look!

If you've ever seen the classic African-American film, The Five Heartbeats, you know that the scene when the leading men get their dreams stolen by The (whitewashing, song-stealing) Five Horseman is a real-life tear jerker. Like in any movie based in that time period, it was made abundantly clear that black creatives had gotten the short end of the stick for decades. Before Elvis Presley, Little Richard was the crowned king of Rock & Roll. And before Moschino teamed up with Sephora, Raynell Steward, affectionately known as Supa Cent, created The Crayon Case.
