I think I accidentally ruined my falsies

I purchased MAC 21's today...I am a first time false eyelash user. I took them off, and i read somewhere to soak them in warm soapy water to remove glue residue. I think they lost their shape, and I can't use them again....please help?

Sorry to hear that. You should never soak MAC's lashes. They can't withstand water. In the future, you want to remove the glue with alcohol, careful not to immerse the hairs. I usually hold mine by the hair and spray the strip with alcohol.

I'm sorry to hear about your poor lashes.

The best way I've found to clean them is to use a tweezer to tweeze off the hunks of glue that are left after you take them off and then get a q-tip a little wet with makeup remover and wipe them down.

I hope you get another pair... they're so much fun.

Yapp, definately try using a curling iron (make sure it won't be too hot) to re-shape them. That's how I keep my (real hair!!) false lashes in shape.
