Good morning Gorgeous!
I recently stumbled upon the E.L.F. brand in my local Walmart. Yes,- in my very far,very outlying, very near nothing Walmart actually had a small display of the E.L.F.brand. Which was encouraging in one way and disparaging in another.
So I remember and have experienced E.L.F. brand as being $1 for anything and everything. When I saw it in the Walmart with my favorite beauty item: false eyelashes I figured it was worth the $1 expenditure.
My experience with my Walmart E.L.F. $1 lashes is thus:
I do NOT like the copolymer glue- tis too harsh, too stingy, and too slow to adhere to the skin. I did give the lashes a bend, and I did give the lashes a strip of glue with ample time to set up and get tacky. BUT-...it did not stay sticky on the corners of the lash which is most important because those are the areas with the most movement and need for stick!
I DO like the cut, length, and shape of the lashes, the fan of the synthetic lash is beautiful.
So, what's a girl on a budget or beginner experience to do: buy the latex brand ( yes, I have latex sensitvity-but even I can wear a set of lashes for a few hours and not break out into full anaphylatic shock)...test yourself with a patch of the glue on a set of skin that is thicker than your lashes. Like-try patching on your inside of the arm near your elbow!)
The $1 is tempting, and I think these lashes can work for your prom, next photo, or next need forglamour: just use a different glue,( latex!) and allow ample time for working with the stiffer band than other brands.
Cheers to your beauty!
