So THIS is how I spend my midlife crisis: instead of getting a Tesla I now watch eylash tutorials…??? WTH! You got in my timeline with your Japan videos… but I like your vibes and, thus, I somehow had to click on this one… and I watched it to the end… despite being a guy and having inherited decent eyelashes. So your YT tactics must be working! Good luck with your YT endeavour… I better go and check out the finance videos too…
@@christinecolburn6971😃 I’m a left side sleeper and a back sleeper and my lashes do great!! Very little contact occurs when I’m on my side!! If you are a slightly stomach/side sleeper where you are turned a little more than just purely on your side, then you might get more contact. But in general, if you wear super long gossamers like 16,18,20 then you might touch. But for me I have monolid and a flatter face profile, so if you have nice eye sockets you may be able to wear 20’s and not touch at all! I’m wearing P14 now! Long story short, I have never found an eye mask as good as this one!! 😍
You explained everything that I hated about lash strips, lash extensions, and lash perms. They never worked for me or gave me the look I was going for! But cluster lashes saved my life 😊 I feel so beautiful because I can customize them to my eye shape! Great video!!b thank you ❤
Wow - your breakdown was organized, comprehensive, and so wonderfully detailed. I’m purchasing now based on your information and suggestions. You are fantastic, thank you so much for this resource!
I'm planning to start doing my own eyelashes and started looking for brands.. Once that I decided to use Lashify I reviewed some videos. And thank you for all the info. I think this is the best one. And you eyes very pretty. Great job!
Thank you so much for this informational video and the time stamps in the description. You have an amazing personality and way of explaining things!! ❤
UPDATE: I LOVE THEM! I’m in the curly volume truffle colored lashes and they are STUNNING and so easy for my clumsy ass to use! Just start with the control kit and go from there, they’re worth it imo! Omg THANK YOU for this video!! The number of times I’ve quit at the last minute when prepared to order… 😂😂 I’m going to try them. Regular lash extensions bother my eyes (the chemicals), lash lifts work really well but I’m becoming leery of the chemicals, and going without - hooded eyes, thick long STRAIGHT lashes that don’t curl - yeah it’s just not cutting it!! Thanks for giving such incredible explanations and descriptions… I’ll watch a couple times to get you that 💰💰💰💰
The best tutorial for lashify...love that you described what each gossimer is... it's mind boggling how many different ones they have! 😆 I've had mine for a year...tried it a couple of times and got frustrated and didn't use it anymore. I found this video of yours, and it made me want to try it again...tysm
Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve been thinking about trying this product out but was nervous about it. I like the way you simplified everything and gave us a starting point.
🤩 you got this!! In the beginning, I spent a few months just trying to decide if Lashify was something I could do for myself. And then took the leap in 2021!! And it’s been almost 3 years now and I’m so so so happy I did it!!! Life changed forever ❤️
Hi Erica can you please do a review on amazon lash kits as well you did such a great job on explaining about Lashify! it makes me really wanna try them out.
I’m not interested in lashify myself, but it’s fascinating. You’re tutorial is great. I feel like I could give it a try if was interested. I love your videos! Keep up the great work!
haha! i love this! They say the most interesting things to watch is Fire, Water, and People doing things. 😂 So lashify counts! Thank you for the kind comment hehe🤗❤️
Awesome video! So great to see someone else with similar eyes to mine do this! One quick question-have you tried the water proof sealer? I’m wondering how that compares to the night bond?
Hello!! :) I have tried waterpoof! It’s good!!! However it’s a little harder to clean the gossamers cuz there is a little film it leaves behind so I stopped using it. So i prefer night bond. I also went back to using glass too! Cuz it prevents little fibers from sticking to my lashes if I slept crazy hahaha
Hands down! The best tutorial I’ve seen yet! And have totally sold me on getting Lashify after being on the fence for couple of months. If you apply in the evening, can you shower next morning? Or is there a waiting period? 😊 Thanks again!
Aw thank you for watching!! 😍 I’m so happy you are going to try Lashify!! It’s been over 3 years for me now! 🥹 I would say best longevity is waiting at least 20 hours if you can before your next shower! 🤩 that super super helped me!! It’s because heat from steam can loosen it. 20 hours after application really lets it settle and dry! And don’t ever touch them when wet or damp. Just let it air dry and it will get super sticky! 🥰 trust! 😘
Thanks for the video! This is super helpful! I just got my lashify kit. Would love to see a video of how to remove makeup with the lashify lashes on. Ty!
Erica your so funny As an ex celebrity make up artist and license aesthetician currently I have to say your tutorial was really well done bravo I am definitely looking into getting trained on doing lashes by lashes for my clients especially my height maintenance older clients who don’t wanna lose their lashes to lash extensions what a great idea as well as doing them myself for myself thanks❤
How long can you leave the lashes in the alcohol? Where did you get your alcohol holder to soak your lashes and when and how do you store the lashes after they are clean? Do the lashes ever lose their curl? What do I do to prevent losing the curl? Sorry so many questions....loving lashify!!
Haha no problem at all!! You can leave the gossamer lashes in the alcohol for weeks haha. I’ve left it in there for 3 months once. Just make sure your alcohol doesn’t evaporate 🤣 My alcohol container is just a face cream glass container I cleaned out 😝 I store the clean ones in a little container! And label it! I haven’t had an issue with the lashes losing their curl! But if they do, you can heat them up using the Lashicurl tool thing! ❤️❤️❤️yay! Lashify changed my life 🤣. I’m now at P14 🤣
I was looking at self lash extensions from lilac st a few weeks ago but ended up getting lash extensions because I’m already familiar with them. Have you ever heard of lilac st lashes? Anyway, this video makes me want to try lashify! It was such an informative video 😊
Aw I’m so jealous! My lashes aren’t strong enough for lash extensions 😝 I’m super happy with lashify though cuz it’s so affordable and I’m now at 8 days wear so it saves me a lot of time in my week!😍 I’ve heard of lilac street and scoured their website and looked at a lot of their tools and lashes. But honestly I liked lashify more because I felt it was more professional, there were more options on gossamers, and the tools are very ergonomic. (I’m a physical therapist so I need my hands to not be twisted funny when I’m applying lashes for the rest of my life lol). Also just the entire lashify vibe makes me feel fancy because of the black (my favorite color). 😝 Even if it it is a little more money up front, it was worth it to me because I love the quality and how it makes me feel. I’m going 2-3 months without spending a dime now because I got my method down! 🤗 I filmed this video in December and I’m only getting better since then!! 🫶❤️ Thanks so much for watching!! If you can get your cleaning/reusing method down, you will save lots of money 🥰❤️
@@michaela_fk depending on the gossamer you buy and how careful you are cleaning them, it can last a long time! I use plushies and been reusing each pair at least 3-5 times. The core gossamers (drama and stardust) are very delicate so they don’t last long. But if you get the fluffies or extreme or plushies, they can be reused a lot. You throw them out if the spine of the gossamer comes off the gossamers because there is no more integrity to hold it together. So I would recommend trying the sturdy ones and then mix and match to get different looks :)
@@Sharonbyang yes! Sometimes if I need to redo, I will dab on some black whisper light onto that portion of my lashes. And then I put some bondage on the spine of the fallen gossamer. (I normally don’t make my mix again for a single fallen lash haha). Then I just wait maybe 60 seconds and then I use the wand to put on the gossamer onto my lash :)
Great job! I learned the most from your video. Are you using the regular wand? I was thinking about getting the petite wand, but some reviews I read said there's not much curve difference. What do you recommend?
Hi Selyna! Love your name! 🥰 I would say it’s not fully necessary to get! If it’s the same price then get it! If not, skip 🤪. Since my eyes are flatter, I just do the reverse fuse method first to make sure all the gossamers are in place and then reverse fuse firmer once I like it. THEN I do the full fuse in which most of my lashes have some surface area with the regular fuse wand. That is the only time where the petit wand would be a tiny bit easier to fuse but people have managed without it for a couple years before it coming out. But I wouldn’t spend additional $$ on it if it’s a major price difference 🥰. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!!
Thank you. I got the control kit right before the version in which we had the option to choose the petite wand was available. I watched your video 3 times now, and I'm learning a lot. Just ordered the Bondage and will try your method once I receive it. Thank you for this video!
That’s awesome!!! Have you applied your lashify yet using just the control kit? 🤩 if so, how’d it go? I would say practice a few times with just the control kit and once ur better with the placement and fusing, then try the bondage and black whisper light mix! 🙌
@Build Your Moxie Yes, but I applied lashes only 4 times since I got the kit last month. I'm not very good at it, and it takes me a long time to get the lashes on properly 😄. I'm still experimenting to find a method that gives me longer wear time and which lash style I like.
This looks SO EXPENSIVE to get each and every item.. the control kit alone was around $150, I believe..and it doesn't have most of the items you mention. I don't see how this is more cost effective than lash extensions. Only reason I am considering trying is they have BLACK/BROWN lashes!! I am fair, and only wear black/brown mascara as I find black mascara too harsh for me.
Understandable! The way how I see it as someone that doesn’t have a lot of options for nice lashes is you have to invest more in the beginning but then the upkeep is very affordable. I filmed this video over a year ago and I spend even less money now. ($60 every 4 months because I just keep cleaning and reusing lol) But even the first fill of lashes in lash extensions can be $70-180 normally on a bare face. So that’s my reasoning lol. (Unless you got a first timer discount) Some people that do Lashify buy a lot a lot a lot because they love experimenting with the different gossamer styles. For me, I’m cool with just my plushies lol. I’m at P14 now. A lot of my people I know that do lash extensions, they pay anywhere from $50-115 a month. They also have to drive there, spend the hour or so, and then sometimes between fills their lashes look sparse 😅. So to me in the end lash extensions are more expensive. But both have their perks! It just depends on how you want to do it. The items in the control kit last a long time. The wand, the wandoms if you are careful with putting it on and off (I’m still using the same wandom almost 3 years later lol) can last for a long long time cuz it’s a tool. The bond in the control kit is a starter one and will last probably 3-5 months. The stuff that I recommend to get in the middle of the video will last 6-18+ months if you are a weekly applier like me 🤗. This includes the gossamers. But yes! Lash extensions and Lashify to me are the best looking lashes 😃. It just depends on how you want to do it ❤️
Take a look at the chocolate styles :) Chocolate plushies, chocolate stardust, so gorgeous Also subscribe to emails and join the FB page. Sahara the ceo is so hilarious and cool. And she does these fun flash sales like 50% off everything etc.
You did a wonderful and thorough job but I was waiting for you to stay whether they are comfortable or not. Can you feel them? Or, do you just forget they are on?
Oo yes! They are very comfortable if you put them on correctly!! If you put them too close to your water line (which is not how you should do it), sometimes it feels pokey. So just make sure it’s 1-2mm from your water line. This also protects your natural lashes and keeps them super healthy If you have never worn any type of lash strip, lash extension, etc, then it will feel odd for the first time because your lashes will be like BAM GORGEOUS! But it’s comfortable!! I’ve been wearing them now for over 2 years for almost every single day!
Yes! It’s worth it :) I would try first no membership. Sign up for email list and they have sales. Then once you figure out your groove a teeny bit more, do the membership :D
@@buildyourmoxie I only have the the bondage with charcoal flex, but I saw you use the white glue after that one and your lashes adhered. I’ve tried and I get absolutely no bond with just the bondage with charcoal flex. Is that normal?
@@angelabecerra4385 yes same for me. Bondage on its own doesn’t work for me. I have to mix bondage with black whisper light Check out Lashify Life on Facebook!! So many different types of bonding techniques!!
Hi!! If you already have an light up LED adjustable mirror then no need! If you don’t have a light up mirror, then you can do the LED control kit.. but to be honest I rather just buy a separate LED mirror so I could use it for nonlashify things hehe. I use mine when filming my videos! 😝 Long story short, just get the cheaper one and make sure you have some kind of LED mirror! 😃
Hello!! Yes you can! However with the melt away you probably need to dip it a lot to soak the lashes since it’s more liquidy instead of oily like the Release :) Just make sure your lashes are saturated so it can dissolve the bond. The goal is minimal tugging when you remove! ☺️🤗.
Hi how are you doing today ❤❤❤❤from me rom in California Los Angeles anyway that look very beautiful but I am scary to lose my real eyelash thanks you good by Thacker your self ❤❤❤from me
I am super afraid of losing my eyelashes too! That's why i can't do regular eyelash extensions! ☠️. I've been doing lashify since 2021 and i'm still doing great! My lashes are very healthy still! =D
Hi!! Trust me, once the gossamer lashes are on, you will not want or need mascara!! 🔥 Note: also don’t put mascara on the gossamers if you are planning to reuse them 😃 but for real, you won’t need mascara!!
@@sangeeta93usthank you! I just reviewed the time stamp! For me I apply the bond and then just wait for it to get sticky! You can puff it dry which speeds up the process a ton!! But I get kind of distracted so I just go do something else for 10-20 minutes and let it air dry 😝. I’m normally cooking or getting my stuff ready for the next day!! No need to do something for 20 min if that is too long. But just make sure it’s dry and sticky! That will be the different between a couple days hold and a week hold for me!! Dry and sticky! ☺️😁
