Review: DUO lash glue

For some products I really just don't understand the hype

- like DUO lash glue which I purchased at MAC

I bought it based on the recommendations of many makeup artists and youtube gurus.







I'm down to the last 1/3 of the tube and I'll be on the hunt for another brand of lash glue.

I find the consistency of the glue to sometimes be a bit too watery for my liking. I've resorted to gently shaking the tube when closed before using, but the glue is not always the same consistency.

Not to mention that even with a steady hand I have often squeezed out waaaaay too much glue. The worst part is that I have squeezed the excess glue onto the false lashes a number of times, which tends to ruin the lashes even after wiping off the glue from it. I think DUO needs to improve on the packaging by making the nozzle opening a bit narrower.

Also, the smell of the glue is just.....offensive. The only other words I can use to describe the smell is just vulgar and inappropriate so I think the word "offensive" is best. And I can smell this glue for a good 10-15 minutes after it has dried and it's gross.

The one good thing I can say about this product is that it is gentle - it has not irritated my eyes. Also, I believe because it is so gentle, the glue has not ripped out my real eye lashes in the process of removing false lashes (which has become nearly a daily routine for me now).

I will probably buy a new lash glue shortly. I'm thinking of the Shu Uemura eyelash adhesive. I will certainly update you when (not if) I find a better glue than DUO :)


Well well, can you believe it's the last day of August?! I love Autumn - with the light breeze, the cardigans, the boots, the colours of the leaves changing colour....and Halloween!


What was the highlight of your summer this year?
