Thing is, based on this experience, I never want to be bothered with false lashes again -- scary!! I read that a lot of you use Duo adhesive (which this Walgreen's didn't have at the time I purchased my lashes and adhesive), but is it difficult to remove, too? I also noticed on this Andrea adhesive package that it doesn't give any removal instructions! I had to get those off the lash package. I hope my poor eye isn't all jacked up later on because of the removal trauma. |

A form of it is used for eyelash extensions and infills and can last as long as a regular eyelash (4-7 weeks). Regular lash adhesive, ala Duo, is a mild surgical latex that can be removed with warm water or rubbing between your fingers and won't survive being slept in. It's really important to read the instructions and packet details on things like adhesives. |
