The video on the site shows the eye liner and then placing lashes on top.
Not sure your watching the correct video if you see them attaching to your lashes. They are older style lashes that came out a few yrs ago, but not sure they took off as people found them fiddily.
I've a few mates moving to these lashes now as they're sick of glue.
Hopefully that helps?

I went for diamond, but sapphire would be more subtle.

I bought dark brown, so I think it's quite dark, so I'm careful in the use of it. Wish I'd ordered light brown now.
Before and After for you

🔥🍝😋. With you all the way Ruby on sriracha hot sauce 😬
You look great with short hair!
I have already (previously) had two lumpectomies, lymph clearance, oopherectomy, mastectomy and free tram flap reconstruction. This time I have had another lumpectomy so my surgery is all done. Once I finish chemo that’s it, I will be released back into the wild 😜

Also Alvilajo, I am a really positive person and have not let BC stop me from doing much, but I get very anxious a few days before chemo anticipating what is ahead, and somewhat depressed during the week after chemo thinking I’m not getting any better and the cancer has spread from my lymph nodes... so completely understand where you’re coming from. I then wake up a week to the day of EC and am bouncing and happy and positive!
I think I may have mentioned before that I have already had my mastectomy. Are all you other ladies reducing your tumours before surgery?
Ruby, you’ve obviously been through the wars before! Your hair looks great 🤗 I still have quite a bit but found the GI Jane look works best for me. Though it’s thinned a bit more since this pic!
Sorry if waffling. I’m suffering from steroid induced insomnia as usual first few days so only a few hours sleep last 2 nights 😳
I’m really finding the support from you all important and interesting how differently we react to the same drugs. Take care 💕✨👊🏻

Hello All,
I know minimad has already shared her experience of Paclitaxel, I thought I would add mine to the mix as well! As most of you know I had a severe allergic reaction to Paclitaxel on my second session, this is a rare thing although minor reactions (flushing, feeling tingly) seem quite common and easily sorted.
After three weeks i was I was changed to Nab Paclitaxel, which is still the same drug but delivered not in solvent base but a human albumin base. I have been fine with this.
side effects? Most of my side effects seem to be after I have had the Carboplatin (the other half of my combo delivered 3 weekly, the paclitaxel is weekly) for the first time this week I have had some bone pain, I haven’t needed anything stronger than paracetamol to manage it so far. My feet are tingly and sore for a few days, this could be either drug tbh. I do have some numbness in hands and feet, grade one so far and manageable.
I am giving one dose of steroids with the paclitaxel and then no others (so only one night of eating the fridge contents instead of three) and one anti sickness on the day then no more prescribed or needed. I have no nausea of paclitaxel alone nor acid indigestion and although I would say I have less of an appetite can eat and drink normally. I do however seem to have developed a taste for really spicy foods and now have an unhealthy relationship with a large bottle of sriracha sauce!
overall I have so far found paclitaxel to be the easier of the two chemos I am on, I have had nine so far ( a few at reduced dose) and eight more to go, I do expect the side effects to worsen as it builds up in my body. It’s what I experienced before and seems to be common.
oh, one more thing I still have most of my hair. I have had some thinning and that could get worse or come out completely but I am managing quite well with an expert combover and a large bottle of (see upside down photo!) hairspray!
Hope that helps, obviously we are all different but not everyone has a horror story to tell!

How do they work if you have no lashes as looking at the video they stick to your own lashes xx
