Lashine mink and synthetic false lashes with ‘magic’ eyeliner – review and makeup looks

We clearly needed more ‘magic’ for our beauty routine, so I arrived timely with a review featuring two typologies of false lashes and another kind of magic eyeliner, this time by Lashine. ‘Beauty Innovation’, ‘yay or nay’’, makeup inspiration? This review ticks all the boxes to inform on the latest buzz.

Your mascara makes a big difference, but nothing like false lashes transforms a whole look and yourself without calling the aesthetician! These Lashine false lashes – Tangula and Eiffel Tower, Airlash best sellers – are no exception.

We are going to discover the difference between synthetic and mink falsies, as well as get to know this new type of magic eyeliner.

 

Lashine Tangula Synthetic lashes kit 6028

Lashine Tangula is a synthetic eyelash kit designed to be reusable and extra light. This model is made of Korean BPT synthetic fibres with a shiny finish and a long-lasting curvature. These lashes are based on a flexible black strip which can be trimmed to fit your natural lash line. They are made to last and, with proper care, be reused up to 20 times. The single lashes are placed tridimensionally and spread out like a fan to create a more natural feel; the starting and ending points of the Tangula eyelashes are shorter than the centre; hence this model falls into the category of ‘defining’. 

My 2 cents…

Tangula synthetic eyelashes are very light and shiny as promised. Their overall length is long and longer than the lashes themselves, so I had to trim both sides before putting them in place. This model fitted very well and made my lashes look fuller and longer thanks to the superb curvature. The lash base results quite thick. I initially thought the design was minimal, but the final result is less natural because their base looks like an eyeliner! The fibres are very flexible and durable; indeed, the lashes kept their original shape after a couple of usages and proper cleaning.

Lashine Eiffel Tower mink lashes kit NL21

Eiffel Tower is part of Lashine’s mink line. This false lashes kit is made of real Siberian mink fur placed individually over a clear band, which looks more natural and easier to camouflage. These lashes are light and soft to the touch: they are real as you can feel and see. Their colour, with visible nuances, and texture can’t be unnoticed during the application. Eiffel Tower falsies are lengthening and volumising with a visible criss-cross pattern.

My 2 cents…

These were my first mink lashes, and after a bit of trepidation, I accepted to wear them. The fact Eiffel Tower eyelashes are natural means that they will blend naturally with your lashes, but they are also more delicate to manage. Indeed, these lashes are well attached to their plastic base, and the removal for the first application was painstaking. I was afraid of deforming them, but this didn’t happen.

Like Tangula, Eiffel Tower lashes are very long and need to be adjusted on both sides. Even trimming must be done with extreme care; it comes easier with the help of some tweezers. These lashes are feather-light; they have their own texture which blends and envelops my own lashes. In this case, I needed no mascara as these falsies are very full and have a beautiful multi-curvature. The clear band is a better design that becomes invisible with the eyeliner. I was able to remove and wash these lashes with ease: I just lost one hair after trimming the ends, and they are still in perfect shape.

Lashine Magic Eyeliner

Here we go with a new magic eyeliner… Lashine Magic Eyeliner is a liquid liner that substitutes your regular eyelash glue. It allows applying your lashes straight away in one step, how? Basically, it’s a black adhesive made liquid like your eyeliner. It comes in a simple eyeliner pen with a long felt tip. After shaking, it releases a vivid black colour which dries in seconds.

My 2 cents…

I was a bit sceptical at first, but then I realised how to work it properly. Indeed, it works, and I could place my eyelashes right after the eyeliner without waiting the usual 10 seconds (or more) for the glue to be tacky. The lashes stay in place with minimal detachment; however, there’s one downside. The magic eyeliner isn’t a traditional eyeliner, of course.

The felt tip quickly gets saturated by the products. During my tests, I was able to successfully apply the magic eyeliner just on one eye. I blamed my makeup and eyeshadow first but might be the tip. It seems like ti needs time between the applications to be wet and ready to ‘write’ again smoothly. The original idea is good, though. There’s nothing worse than bringing glue and tweezers in your purse and retouching your lashes on the go. The ‘magic eyeliner’ would simplify the work, if it was more liquid.

Synthetic VS Mink (Natural)

Whether you choose synthetic or natural lashes, you’ll have a ‘wow’ effect. It will be clearly evident – especially when you’re with your female tribe – that you have a secret weapon on: your falsies. The difference between synthetic and mink lashes is, of course, a matter of material which delivers a different feel. Synthetic lashes can be very light and shiny and, from my experience, they have even curvature and features.

Mink lashes are weightless compared to synthetics because they are as light as your lashes. Their nature can be seen in every single lash having a different nuance, shape and curvature. A personality. Sometimes these variations are minimal, sometimes you can spot the difference. If your mink lashes are assembled with care, this factor won’t impact your look but will create some ‘fluffiness’. I am aware, that if you are vegan, you will be disgusted at the idea of wearing anything from animals. I do understand your point of view. Hopefully, synthetic lashes do the work very well, but the polymeric fibres must be good in quality. It’s like what happens with faux leather if the eco-fabric is made of premium material and carefully crafted, the final product will be an acceptable alternative. 

With these two Lashine eyelash kits, I had two ideas for my makeup looks. I thought Tangula was simple enough for a ‘girl next door’ look, but the magic eyeliner and the eyelash base charged my eyes more than I imagined. The Tangula OOTD is just a daily look for some kind of occasion. It plays with peachy and dusty rose hues on eyes (Floss Beauty My Everyday eyeshadow in Maui), cheeks (Beautaniq Beauty Bloom Blush in Darling Dahlia) and lips (Lord & Berry 20100 Maximatte Lip Crayon in Soul). These shades give that sweetness I was looking for.

Eiffel Tower speaks of glamour and magnetism. I kept my eyes simple and used a coconut-infused highlighter (The Beauty Crop Glow Milk in Pear Pressure) and a duo-chrome lip colour (Neve Cosmetics Pastello in Trance) I’ve been obsessed for a while… so smooth.

In case you’re tempted by these looks, Lashine Tangula synthetic eyelash kit costs 4.99$ and 12.99$ with magic eyeliner; Eiffel Tower mink lashes are 7.99$ alone or 15.99$ with its own eyeliner both at Airlash. These kits and the Airlash extended catalogue are currently on promotion: 40% OFF with coupon ‘GIFT‘ at the checkout.

Final thoughts

The occasion of this blog was manna from heaven and big fun in one. In fact, Eiffel Tower was my first natural lashes kit, and I was not sure whether or not I was going to feel comfortable with it on. They are extremely delicate but, on the other end, they are incredibly light and hardly moved from their place (I also exercise with them, and I felt ok). I kept both kits for more than 8 hours, and I felt no discomfort at all.

Both Tangula and Eiffel Tower are very flexible, both very long and need to be trimmed down. The Eiffell Tower kit is the lightest of the two, they dried up very well to their original shape after my first usage. The Lashine Magic Eyeliner was a great idea, in theory; but it isn’t 100% practical. Looking back, if I compare this magic eyeliner with the magic magnetic eyeliner, I can see how today’s product combination is lighter and comfier to wear.

I overcame my initial scepticism over ‘natural falsies’ and put a new beauty innovation, the adhesive eyeliner, to the test. Even though the magic liner worked smoothly half of the time, where I was able to draw a neat line, it worked well, and the lash strip stayed in place for hours (except for the inner corner as usual with me). ‘Magic eyeliner’: yay or nay? It’s half and half. What’s left are two sets of flexible, light and customisable eyelashes that completely transform yourself.
