Traditional false lashes come with a strip that sits atop your upper lash line. One Two Lashes are different. These come with a magnetized strip that goes above your lash line as well as magnetized pieces that go under your lashes. The pieces on top and below connect, cushioning your lashes in between. There's no annoying glue and waiting for your falsies to dry. The strips are designed to fit any eye shape, so you don't have to worry about cutting them down to size. I tried the original style (in both full and half) but there are three others (enhanced lash, bold lash and extra bold lash). You have the option to apply them by hand or with a little applicator tool that comes with a set.

My First Try
As you're now well aware, I am not very handy with fake fringe and my first few attempts using magnetic lashes didn't end in success. I started with the full lash set, which I applied by hand. I set the full lash strip as close to my upper lash line over my right eye as I could, holding it in place with my left hand. With my right hand, I picked up the tiny bottom piece and placed it under my natural lashes so that it would connect with the magnet. I finished by picking up the second tiny bottom strip and connecting it to the magnet closer to the inner corner of my eye. It took me about 15 minutes of playing around to get one eye done.

Take Two
I actually found applying the half set of magnetic lashes a lot easier, since I only had two pieces to work with, not three. I decided to try my hand with the applicator tool this round. I placed the lashes on the tool and gently pressed it into my lash line. I had to play around a few times to get the placement right, but it only took me about five minutes per eye. Not so bad!

The Results
I really like how the half lashes looked. I wore them out to a holiday party and they stayed on throughout the night. They were so comfortable, I forgot I was wearing them! Plus, the lashes were really easy to remove. All I had to do was gently slide the two magnets away from each other. The fact that I didn't have to scrub my face with makeup remover to take them off was huge for me.

Would I Use Magnetic Lashes Again?
I would definitely wear my One Two Lashes again. Although it took some practice to apply the magnetic lashes just right, I found the process easier than traditional falsies overall (no glue and no having to snip the lashes were major pros for me). Not to mention, removing them was way easier. What can I say, I might just be a fake lash convert after all.
