For years, I have always admired Latinas for their gorgeous, gorgeous lashes. I don't know (or even mind) whether it came from bad ass genetics or from a packet. They have really thick and curled lashes that seem to cry ‘woman’ whenever I notice them.

     It didn't take long before I plunged into the bandwagon of false eyelashes. I stumbled a few times and that included buying without consulting Ms. Makeupalley or even Dr. Google. Long story short, a few buck went down the drain.

     So, there I was being all that excited over buying falsies... MAC, Make Up Forever... Tokyo Lash. I was so hyped up over these darlings that I was a bit unmindful of the wee bit of hole it's creating in my purse. Two days after... I went back in the Philippines ready to use a pair for an occasion when alas, my DUO wasn't with me. I rushed to the nearest beauty counter I could find... And since I'm in the province, the nearest I could go to was Beauty Bar. And here did the fiasco that was perma lash started.

So... To start with, this eyelash adhesive claims that:
 
    

"specially formulated and waterproof to hold lashes securely and comfortable. Andrea Perma Lash Adhesive is designed for use with PermaLash & DuraLash individual lashes. This adhesive is specially formulated to ensure the lashes remain securely and comfortably attached, day after day."

It comes in a .125 gram-bottle  and is available in clear and dark form. 

Straining me off with Php 195 pesos, I was at the very least expecting a decent adhesive pay off. However, few though, my expectations were, this product still failed me. All for good reasons.

1. The product has an overpowering smell reminiscent of the Filipino plastic balloon. If you're not familiar with the smell, let me put it this way, it could give ammonia a run for its money due to the pungent smell. And to put it on top of our lashes is a massive challenge not to cry (over the smell)
2. Within the hour of putting the lashes using this adhesive, my eyes felt uncomfortable with the almost crisp-like fibers of dried glue that settled on my lashes. Which were so uncomfortable I had to take them off... WHich brings me to the other reason why I hate it.
3. It is a pain to take off and eventually ruined my falsies and some of my real lashes!

Unfortunately, I dd not find any redeeming factor or characteristic of this product that I could mention to be less mean. Tried it four times (all three in the hopes that the aftereffects will be better) and never again.


Will I buy it again? 


No.


Bought it, hate it, ditch it in a flash.




Hope this review helped and saved you a few pesos over a product that I shouldn't have bought.


I am curious, though. Is there anyone who had a different experience with this adhesive?
