Did anyone wear, or are wearing strip lashes?

I look like a drag queen in all false lashes so can't help I'm afraid. Would maybe pop this on OT as well though.

Erm, Sparkly? Your ticker says FIVE DAYS!!! Muchos Excitement!

I did, I wore Eyelure ones, and they did not budge all day. I do have to get someone else to put them on for me though, they would never stay on if I did them myself !

I find strip lashes start to come away at the edges after a few hours but I think it is my application that's at fault as friends use the same brand and their's don't budge.

I'll be having individual lash extensions for the big day as I get them regularly now anyway and I really like them. They can be a bit unruly after the first week so I'll be getting them done a day or two before.

Eyelure or MAC do good strip lashes. I put them on for many brides and they last all day no problem. Sometimes getting someone else to put them on for you helps.

Thanks so much. Glad to hear strip lashes were used by other brides. Just spoke to someone at Mint who do eyelash extensions and they told me that I would be better with strip lashes for the look I want.

Eeekk!! I have suddenly started panicking about all things beauty. Never bothered before. Look like a mad woman ringing round beauty salons ha

Has anyone got any real-life photos of them in such lashes? I'm interested, but am worried I might look like a cast member of TOWIE...!!?

I think i'll have to experiment next time I go out with the girls.

I wore strip lashes and they lasted all day & night, my MUA supplied and put them on so not sure of the brand:

Professional eyelash extensions for me! You can create any look you want with them, they are stunning. Great for honeymoon too as no mascare needed!

Eyelash extensions for me. Would that be an option? There would be no concern about them falling off!

I had the weekend lashes as my eyes are way too sensitive for the semi perm ones. (Although I did try! 2 hours later and the poor lady had only managed to attatch 4 as my eyes are so flickery and watery) They are a step up from the strip ones, my MUA applied them for me in less than 10 mins, you can see the effect fully here, you may want to go for these lashes if you are worried about the strip ones. They are usually no more expensive than decent strip lashes. Mine were £12.50 on top of my make up cost. They actually lasted about a week into the honeymoon too!

Wow I just googled images of eyelash extensions and they look really cool! How long do they last etc? I'd never need eye makeup again!

Vanillapod they look lovely! This is the style I am looking for. I had the weekend ones for my hen night but they fell off so had to buy some strip ones.

I have just been on the phone to Mint who do them and they reccomended the weekend lashes as they are more fuller and darker than the others, or to stick with strip lashes. I want them quite dark and full rather than super long iykwim. I think I will pop to Mac to see what they have. Thanks ladies.

Mine last about three weeks before I need to get them tidied up a bit.

Thanks! If you get them just go somewhere reputable and make sure they know its your wedding day so they take extra care. Some places use too much glue and thats why they fall off I think. I go back to the place that did my wedding ones when ever I'm going on holiday/ away for the weekend now and they always look lovely and last me the week.

Some of the strip lashes are fantastic! but there are so many to choose from, you need to go for a more natural lash not too thick or too long.I would recommend Mac or eylure Don’t use the glue provided, we never do!! I would always use duo glue, it has never let me down!!

Lots of our brides opt for individual lashes(small groupings of lashes rather than a strip), half a dozen or so on the out edges gives a beautiful natural result :-)

If you are not used to wearing them practice with them, be sure to get used to them before your big day!

I tried individual eyelash extensions but as I don't have a lot of my own lashes to adhere them too I didn't get that fullness I wanted. Instead I had individual cluster lashes glued on in between my lashes. They have 3 lashes on each one and varying lengths and this was perfect and glamourous. My sister had strip lashes but they had a clear strip instead of thick black so she didn't look like the TOWIE girls.

It cost me a fortune in trials to get the right look I wish I asked on here first.
