Despite my mostly positive experience with the Lashify system, here's why I no longer wear lashes from the brand. Lashes worn in thumbnail and video: Kiss Sister Nature Lash "Meadow" ( applied as clusters)
What to buy from Lashify: Bond and Wand What to buy elsewhere: Kiss Falscara remover (removes lashes), Ardell Soft Touch Individual lashes (they look super natural as they taper on the ends), Individual Korean style lashes (noticing that it seams that some of the lashes are based on them. Mermaid, fishtail, A-lashes, ect)
Lashify weren't the first to introduce the cluster lashes system. I remember using Ardell knot-less clusters over 7-8 years ago. If anything Lashify ripped off Ardell
Lashify charges so much and their customer service is so so… kind of the snobs of lashes…you need to buy multiple cartridges to get a lash map… 75 for 3, Lilac St 21$ for 3… though price is going up. There are a lot of great lashes out there for a better price. PS KISS is still in Stores …yep
2024 UPDATE - I’m back with Lashify and have become a member to their monthly subscription. I’m loving the new lash styles they have added over the past year ! Still using adhesive and removers from alternative brands .
@@snowflakeyflake5239 I agree! I do like their product but we are talking about eyelashes, not the miracle cure for cancer! I switched to Lilac St. lashes. Though I have never used their glue or remover, I will once the one i have from Lashify runs out.
Thank you for posting this video Tonaya. I like how you were very honest about both companies and gave Lashify the kudos it deserves. It seems like getting the applications products from Lashify and the lashes from an inexpensive brand is a good way to go. 👍🏿
Thank you for the info! Ive just recently tried Lashify and i love them!! However....the price point is so high it takes them out of my price range for everyday use. Because of your video i tried Lilac street! I think Lashify lashes are more comfortable and natural, but with the much more economical price point of Lilac street you cant go wrong!!
Thanks for this video. I was just about ready to purchase the Lashify control kit, but this is making me re-think. I love how Lashify looks, but the price… Thanks again!
I would like to thank you so much for that information. You may not believe this, but I was just looking on Amazon late earlier today to buy lash defy which I really couldn’t afford. Thank you so much for your information.
@@kristinaallard7947 I’ve been able to reuse them but I try to be really gentle in cleaning the lashes to avoid ruining them. I also soak them in isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) to make sure all the gunk I may have missed is removed and to ensure the lashes are clean.
You are beautiful and very articulate! I’ve learned so much from you….thank you! I’ve just finished chemotherapy for breast cancer which caused me to lose many eyelashes which is why I’m considering diy lashes. 😍. I just hope the occasional gap I have in my lashes doesn’t cause a problem.
What a triumph! Congratulations on finishing chemo! You may find the “brick stacking” technique useful with the diy lash systems. Rather than apply the lash segments side-by-side, you would apply the lash segments to slightly overlap each other. One end of your lash segment would slightly overlap the end of your neighboring lash segment. This should help you overcome the occasional gaps with no problem 😊. Lashify has a really helpful tutorial on the technique on RU-vid .
@@TonayaNoel I really appreciate this tip! The more I looked at the gap in my lashes, the more I thought I would not be able to wear these ……but you’ve given me a solution! Thank you sweetie! 🥰 Now I have confidence to try a set.
I decided to first try the lilac lashes before buying lashify after watching your video. The price difference was the deciding factor for me. Thank you 😊
I love my Lashify lashes but have also tried a more affordable lash from other brands as well . I think if you have no issue with the price point of Lashify, you honestly get what you pay for. The lashes are high quality, very comfortable and the removal process is not harmful to your natural lashes. I was able to create a beautiful eyelash look with other lashes but there were not as comfortable on my my eyes as Lashify. Some did not come with the remover and if it did the remover was strong and did irritate my eye a bit causing them to water. Bottom line for me is: it's good to have options. Thanks for sharing your opinion. 😊
Curious have you tried lilac street lashes before their lashes are very light weight and they don't however if you have not tried them my highly recommend
I loved Lashify but after a bad customer service experience I don’t think I’ll ever order from there again. For a brand that is expensive and “premium” they absolutely need to have a better return policy. It’s unacceptable to not refund if the product is damaged or broken. Even with your 25$ remover-it’s a waste of money and they can’t be bothered to refund even though you’ve probably spent 100s (or more).
I was using the knock offs before I realized they were knock offs. Randomly heard of lashify while scrolling on facebook and honestly they are outrageously priced, for sure.. but I have yet to find a brand that compares to the quality of lashify/ the amount of styles…Hopefully I can. Their bond and wand is unmatched. But the ones on Amazon are awful in quality. Just completely awful
I really enjoyed your video, thank you! I've never tried lashify but I love lilac street's pro glue. I don't find lilac street lashes to be very comfortable so I use Flutterhabit Lashes. If I had to pick a favorite lilac street style though it would definitely be the midnights! 😊 I will be checking out lashify remover though! Right now I'm using the falscara remover and it works the best for me so far. Thanks again!
I just got lashify two days ago. I really appreciate the system plus all the education videos. This is not easy to do. I tried to wear strips years ago but it was way too time consuming, and did last extension once which burned my eyes and was overall an unpleasant experience. I like the lashify bonds so far, they don't burn or irritate my eyes.I would like to try out other brands of lashes. Their lashes are way to expensive. I will probably stick with glue for now at least and the glass coating, still not sure what that does exactly. .
Glass is intended to eliminate the tackiness after application . Within the first 24 hours the tackiness will go away on its own as the bond completely fuses. I personally didn’t notice any impactful difference with using glass but the usefulness of the product may vary depending on the climate you live in.
I've been using lashify and just found out about lilac st and put an order in. I am really excited to see how their lashes wear! I feel like if I really like them it would be really hard to buy lashify's lashes again.
The owner of Lashify is absolutely vile. A quick google search will show you what type of company they really are. I used to use their products but stopped because their customer service was HORRIBLE!!
I tried 5 different brands. Including lilac st. I can't use lilac st. Because they don't have a mild curl option... All of their options have a curl that's somewhere between a C and a D curl. I have hooded eyes and the curly styles tickle my inner corner. So I need something with an A or possibly a B but I prefer an A curl on my inner corner... But I like the look of curled lashes. So, with Lashify, I can customize my look as opposed to having a pre-selected style. I can put a plushy tame (A curl) on my inner corner and use stardust (C curl) on the rest so I get that curled look without the tickle. Another reason... They have colored options. Like a brown instead of black. Black lashes are way too harsh on my skin. They also have fun prismatic colors for the holidays or fun occasions. The customizability is worth a little higher cost for me. And one more reason, they look the most natural. They don't have that shiny fake plastic look to them. They look like real lashes.
I agree with everything you said. I started with lashify last year. Once I got the system down, I started to look for other brands. My favorite is lash Linx. They have lash ribbons as well as premapped lashes. Their glue and remover is really good as well.
hi! i'm just wondering, do you apply the Lash Linx above the lash line, or underneath the way you would, Lashify? and what sort of adhesive is safe for doing that (if you're not using Lashify's adhesive anymore)
I started lilac and love them. The only thing I don’t like is after 3 days my eyes start burning as the glue breaks down. I was curious about throng the lashify glue to see if it’s better
I started w/ Lashify about 2 years ago. The lashes are so beautiful, and I really enjoyed them until they started sending lashes I didn't order. When this happened I checked my account and I was to receive orders every 60 days! When I contacted customer service, she SD I had every 30 days. This extra order overdrew my account and cost me an over draft charge. I contacted customer service again. At that time the agent told me she would help me close my account if I couldn't do it myself.
Yikes, hopefully, everything was ( or will be ) resolved with your orders. I had a package go missing once despite USPS marking it as delivered and Lashify's Customer Service was really helpful in getting my order replaced.
I am a lash tech who can’t wear extensions 😢. I have an allergic reaction no matter what I have tried. Since that reaction I can’t even use black adhesive of any kind without getting a reaction. Lashify is something I have always wanted to try but the price was a bit up there. I tried falascara but was only able to find black adhesive, and again reacted. I just got Lilac St and put them on a couple days ago. I got the clear adhesive. So far so good! I am really hoping they continue to work. I am lazy and hate applying lashes every day. I did get to where I could keep strip lashes on for a few days at a time, but I hated that the glue would stay sticky and eventually make my hooded lid sticky. I am so hopeful at this point Lilac St will continue to work for me.
I really hope lilac st clear adhesive works for you !! I like to apply my glue on both the individual segments and the base of my natural lashes for long lasting wear. I use the black glue on my natural lashes and the white glue on the segments. In your case, you can use the white glue for application on both your natural lashes and the lash segment to achieve multi-day wear
@@TonayaNoel I have been doing the glue on both and it’s working wonderfully. The first set last me 5 days. This set I have now is going on day 7 and I lost a corner but popped it right back on. I also wash them often because as a lash tech I am a huge advocate for healthy lashes. Washing them haven’t affected them at all. I am so happy so far.
You look like you could be Quinta Brunson’s sister 😊 (that’s a compliment!) I’ve never heard of lilac, I was looking for honest reviews of lashify but will check them out!
Started off w lilac street then graduated to lashify. I love their lashes but the glue sucks. Lilac streets glue lasts me forever (the pro one) AND I can take take a shower and run the hot water over my face. I thought I was doing something wrong with the lashify system so I booked a one on one. I had spent $688 on lashes that wouldn't stay on. The educator did not show up for the appointment so I complained. Saharan(the CEO) PERSONALLY told me that I didn't deserve a one on one and that they were a perk. She also said my comments could get someone fired then blamed ME for not being able to apply them correctly. So yeah FV(K her and her entire company. Refuse to support that bully.
Thanks for the video and good luck on your journey. I found out about Lashify through your video during the pandemic. I’ve been using them every since. I enjoy the Fluffies and the new Plushies. On my vacation days I wear Geminis . I love my subscription. They are fun. I enjoy the brand and I’m not interested in other companies. I’m really sensitive and don’t want issues. Thanks again for this video.
@@TonayaNoel I found a secret. I wait for bundles to come out and I try the new styles then. Yes it can be a good while and I sometimes wait till I see the quick flash sales but it’s something. Holidays are coming soon, and so are the excellent deals. For now if you are on their email list they drop specials every Wednesday.
I used to love Lashify! The starbursts were so beautiful. But for some reason after a while I couldn’t get them to stick for very long. It’s probably user error because I’d gotten away with a week or two before, but I ended up getting lash extensions for vacation and I can’t go back. On top of that, I don’t love the attitude in the group anymore. I never thought of them as being the first to do that because I’d already heard of people using Ardell that way, including myself. I think they make a way better quality package of everything you’ll need, but it was starting to feel very Karen-y in there. It’s very Facebook.
Starbursts are a beautiful lash and I agree with you on the community antics of the Lashify Group. I used to enjoy the tips and tricks shared there but eventually had to distance myself from the drama and cattiness as well.
Thank you so much. Something said to do a little research because I was gonna drop about like 200 bucks on Lashify. And I’m sure they’re really good and I hear what you’re saying but I do want more bang for my book and now I’m on the website for lilac Street and OMG lifesaver
You sure can, I love the mascara look too. Before you do though, there's a couple of techniques I'd recommend first in achieving the "mascara-look" before using actual mascara. 1. Apply a tad bit of Night Bond to the lash fiber or 2. soaking the lash in 91% alcohol or hot water then let them air dry. Otherwise, in my experience mascara was fine to use but may impact the longevity of your wear a bit.
I just ordered Linx lash (she’s here on YT)- has tons of videos. I just got them after a few days (quick delivery) and they are beautiful and cheap! I’m very happy with them- I like the lilac St and falscara lashes too
I am currently a lashify customer for about a year/2… my subscription is currently set for every 2 months. I was able to wear my lashes for 7 days secured w/o any issues using the Dani Method, (a week by choice) I could go longer. Wash/clean/rest for 2 and back at it again. I do try other lashes and have no quilt in doing so, my money my choice right. I don’t wash/reuse them by choice, trust me I have quite a bit of stash, so I’m good, but like I’ve stated I use other brands.
@@TonayaNoel thank you, I have watched you a number of times and I appreciate you for sharing. We should not be held down to just one company. Get out and try other brands and do what’s best for you. Thank you again for sharing I will be following you .
I started with Lashify but jump around in brands right now. I can't justify $25 for a single pair of lashes. Also, the owner of the company is awful and I refuse to support her.
@Amanda 0034 I didn't even know about the stuff with Manny until recently. It's just seeing videos of the owner herself. She's incredibly pretentious and rude. She talks down about other lash companies and makes fun of them. Just an all around trash person.
Yes girl, alot of us have left Lashify. There pro program is a joke and the owner doesn’t listen to the public. My hat goes off to them for coming up with the idea but they need to keep up with their competition. Plus there are better glues on the market. I follow another gal named Tash and she has tried about every kind of lash and glue and I have learned so much from her. Best of luck on your journey and thanks for the vid. 🥰
I’m new to diy lashes . I have tried Lashify, but I didn’t buy my control kit though there website because I wasn’t sure I would like it or not . So I got mine second hand for $60. It’s something about there glue that burns my eyes idk what it is . I’ve only tried the EEs and I like the lashes themselves and the wand is cool as well. I bought a Lix key a few weeks ago I just haven’t made another purchase yet . I got my lilac st lashes order a week ago . And I’m in love with the system . I bought a good amount of lashes , the glue, and the crystal coat . And my eyes don’t burn as much. I may just be using to much glue . I’m kind of hesitant to go back to lashify though because I noticed the band on Lilac st lashes are thinner then Lashify . I may only buy Lashify for special occasions . I’m a more bang for your buck type of women . Great video !
Thank you. I've noticed the same with Lilac St lash bands being thinner and in some instances even more durable. I hope they continue to expand their lash style offering and even lengths. I haven't tried their crystal coat yet but definitely want to give it a try 💕
Great info. I started with Falscara and have used several inexpensive knockoffs from Amazon since. My issue is the white dusty look from the sealer! Can you or anyone recommend a sealer that doesn't whiten? Thanks!!!
I use Falscara as well, try using very little sealer, and wipe up on your lashes with your finger after applying it, it's totally solved my sealer problem!
Yes! During extended wear, you can use a spoolie and foam lash shampoo (Stacy lash on Amazon) to keep them clean. For reuse - Soak them in 91% alcohol for a few hours or overnight to loosen build up and debris . Then wipe away the debris with a clean flat head eye makeup brush . If you become a frequent re-user, you can speed up the process of cleaning the lash with alcohol and a ultrasonic jewelry cleaner or even those mini makeup washer machines.
Hello! I hope you see this! Out of everything that you (and anyone else reading) have tried, what glue/bonder/sealer do you prefer?? I’m thinking I need to order bits and pieces from lots of companies! Lol I’ve heard lashify still has the best, just pricy. Do you agree with that? Just trying to figure out which company has best what. Thank you!!
I currently use a combination of lash glues from Lilac St! Both the Pro Lash and regular lash glue at the same time. Other glues I've tried that worked well were from Falscara and Calalis on Amazon. Lashify's glue is not bad. The formula just dries out really quickly so you aren't able to get the full use of the tube before the product is no longer usable. Atleast in my experience. I'd say different formulas work best for different people so it may be worth giving multiple brands a try :)
MAC lash applicator is the closest comparison to the lashify wand that I have came across. It’s silicone with a semi curved tip whereas the lashify wand is metal with more of a curved tip that fits most eye shapes during fusing.
I always used curved surgical tweezers to apply my lashes and they work better than the Lashify wand. You can also order the tweezers with rubber tips for less than $10.
I will Lashify but I also where Lilac St I do prefer the Lashify Lashes Over, Lilac St Lashes but that is just me. I did sign up for the luxe membership with Lashify and that makes the lashes more affordable core lashes are just $10 and volume lashes are 18. They can be laundered and reused the volume styles anyway so that does make it more cost-effective for me. I will say that I believe Lashify ‘s bonds and adhesives are superior to any other that I have tried.
I use just the gossamer and put them on with duo lash glue because I can’t stand the constant feeling of lashes or lash extensions, for a night out or wanting something more than mascara I think the way I do it is my preference.
Just started Lashify around this past Christmas to save from professional lash extensions. And i thought it was a good deal coming from $180/month on refills. But found mich cheaper options quickly and have been experimenting with Amazon's different lashes/sets/glues
@TonayaNoel agreed! I just recieved a big order I placed with lashify last week and definitely noticed the difference in comfort and quality. Yes Amazon has cheaper options but if they are fake mink they are heavy and uncomfortable on the eyes. Lashify's silk lashes feel so light, comfortable and natural.
Yup! I've been using lashify for over a year. I prefer their bond and some of their lashes over lilac st, but I totally use both. You really can't beat lilac st price point. I subscribe to both lilac and lashify did an every other month delivery and it's great! I no longer to lash laundry. If you purchase up to 18 lashes on lilac st the cost is 4/box. When you do the math compared to Lashify 18 lilac lashes are 4/5 lashify gossamers Lashify is definitely the luxury brand and their quality is much more consistent. I've also tried urbandollz, flutterset, lynx... And I did not like those. For me, I'll stick with lashify and lilac
I recently tried Urbandollz and not only is it the most expensive lash system it is also the worst . Their lash remover is great though. My lashes slip off with a snap of a finger but it is oil base and does eliminate the possibility of lash re-wear. I can’t say I had any interest in trying flutterset or lynx but only because their styles are shorter and more natural than I would typically go for but the concepts are cool. I would agree with you in Lashify’s quality consistency . That’s a very solid point. I maybe only had 2 bad batches with Lashify which were cramped, zig zagged fluffies . However with Lilac St, no box is quite ever the same . Close but not the same. When I mentioned it in a video that one of my Lilac St pairs didn’t quite look as it did online the owner responded that it was because each pair is handmade which I can respect but we all like knowing we’re going to get exactly what we ordered and for the most part with Lashify you’re going to get just that.
@@TonayaNoel oh yeah...I didn't like their glue or their lashes, but their remover is fantastic With lilac st I rarely get consistency. The midnights always look different so I'm not sure what the true look is. Sometimes they're as full as icons, other times they're sparser than the first batch I received. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's annoying, but it's so cheap it's hard to care enough. They're also a bit slower on innovation, but again... Their price point...😅
Thank you! I was wearing a strip lash that I cut into clusters applied underneath my lashes like I would with like these DIY lash systems. The lashes are Kiss Nature Sister Lash in Meadow.
I stopped with lashify after they partnered with that yt model anna gant that cried about not getting modeling jobs b/c shes no longer the beauty standard. & when POCs said she was only crying b/c the standard no longer served her & said she was still able to get jobs just by crying about it & never spoke about the industry's disparities until she no longer fit it , she attacked them & was openly racist...yea..
Basically! It was worth it when it was the first and only brand like it on the market . Now with more brands in the market offering the same concept for a fraction of the price I’m not as loyal to the brand as I once was. There are a handful of styles and products from Lashify that is with it though. Just none of the core lashes
@Tonaya Noel I literally just got my box today. They are awesome. I was/is using Kiss.. there is a difference between bonds tho. Lashify bond kinda strong lol.. Kiss a bit weak but it is cool..
Yes the starburst by Lashify are very beautiful but after a cleaning and disinfecting them for next use. I notice they start to droop, lose their curl and their shape. Disappointing
Lashify lashes look sooo much more natural, and are more comfortable than Lilac St. I also feel conflicted buying from Lilac St if they are stealing Lashify's ideas and violating patents
Honestly, lashify’s price is absolutely expensive. I bet their mark up with each product is so high. You cant blame people because price is ridiculous! Im not paying 100$$$$++ for lashes that was done by me. Also, Other lashes is more comfortable, lightweight and long lasting than lashify. I use lilac and its soooo cheap, can be reused for xxx times, comfy, beautiful and holds up longer.
Actually the prices/markup isn’t as high as you think. Using toilet paper is not even a good example. There are no patents on toilet paper. Apples and oranges.
Not patent pending. Patented from the beginning. Kiss stole, lilac st stole and all of the Amazon brands are stolen patents. Your info is so wrong. Shipping is $45 with the subscription
Depending on when she initially began using the Lashify system, some of the patents may have been "patent pending". "Patented from the beginning" is NOT a thing. The patent application process from start to the granting of the patent can take anywhere from a year to 5+ years. And it's not 'stolen patents', it's 'patent infringement'.
@@rebeccab817 Patent infringement technically. Stolen is still what it is for us non-lawyers. Like the thief that “infringed” in my home when I wasn’t there and left with things they did not pay for or buy from me.
He natural lip color showing through makes it look like she has white goop in the corners of her mouth. She REALLY needs to rethink her entire lip game.
