I knew what I was after - No.43's (below)
As described on the MAC website they are 'Wispy bundles and natural style length provide an everyday flirty fringe'.
Nothing indicates that these are individual lashes and I just KNOW already they are not.
So I let the MAC assistant know what i want - she collects them for me and says "Individual lashes, yeah?"
I say "no, they are strip lashes"
she says "no they're not, they are individual lashes, see?"
At this point, I say "No, they just have a clear band, see?"
She says "No, thats just the glue"
I know I am right but I ask "so how would you suggest I apply individual lashes that come in bundles like that?"
She says "with tweezers."
Do I need to say anymore?!! Maybe one day, just maybe I will get someone serve me in MAC who isn't clueless, arrogant, bitchy or condescending. Maybe.
Anyway, I still bought them because thankfully out of the 2 of us - one of us had a clue!!
I love them and here is a terrible photo of me donning said lashes on my night out - you barely see them but it's the only photo I have of me! 
Not a great photo for getting an impression of the lashes but it won't be the last time I buy them so next time I will get a more detailed shot! Hopefully you get an idea of the natural fullness they give on the top lash.
Who else is loving lashes this Christmas?

ReplyDeleteArgh the sales people at MAC are the exact same like that here too.
@Winter Blossom - thanks! I know i did want to bang my head against a wall! Luckily i managed to bite my tongue though ha ha xx
ReplyDelete@Mosha - I know i think you should know your products inside out if you work as a MUA xx
