This kit is for anyone who wants to wear strip false lashes and would rather buy lashes, adhesive, and an applicator together than piece them together separately. It works well for first-time lash wearers, since the applicator and adhesive are matched to the lashes in the box, and equally for experienced lash wearers who just want a convenient twin-pair restock. It's a beauty/makeup accessory, not a skincare or haircare product, and no professional training is required to use it, though some practice with strip-lash placement helps.

• Makeup users wanting fuller lashes for everyday or occasion wear
• First-time strip-lash wearers who want adhesive and applicator included
• Experienced lash wearers restocking a favorite Ardell style

Its main advantage is convenience: rather than buying strip lashes, adhesive, and an applicator as three separate purchases, this pack bundles all three together at once, which is useful for anyone starting out with false lashes or just wanting a simple restock.

Hold each lash strip up against your natural lash line and trim the outer end if it's longer than your eye. Apply a thin line of the DUO adhesive along the lash band and wait about 20-30 seconds for it to become tacky. Using the applicator, place the strip as close to your natural lash line as possible, starting near the inner or outer corner, then press gently along the band to secure it and let it set for a few seconds before opening your eye fully. To remove, gently peel from the outer corner rather than pulling straight out, and store the lashes in the included case for reuse.

Pros:

• One purchase covers lashes, adhesive, and applicator instead of three separate buys
• Two pairs of lashes per pack, plus the lashes are reusable across a few wears
• Comes with a reusable storage case to help lashes keep their shape between wears

Cons:

• Strip-lash application takes some practice to place cleanly along the lash line
• Waterproof DUO adhesive can be harder to remove cleanly without a proper adhesive remover
• Because Ardell uses the "Deluxe Pack" format across several different lash styles, the exact look and fit inside can vary by style number
