Okay, so remember when I tried wearing 25mm lashes for the first time and literally couldn't keep my eyes open? Girl, the weight had me looking like I was permanently sleepy. That's why finding these Reese 5D mink lashes was such a relief. They give you that same dramatic look but somehow feel like nothing on your eyes. I'm talking full glam without the struggle.

What Makes These Different
Not gonna lie, when I first saw "5D Mink" I was like... what does that even mean? Turns out it's all about the layering. These babies have multiple layers of mink that create this insane depth and dimension. You know how some lashes look flat against your eye? These don't do that. The layers give you volume that actually looks three-dimensional, like you have naturally thick lashes that just happen to be incredibly dramatic.
Here's what really sold me though. The band on these is flexible enough that it actually conforms to your eye shape. I've worn strip lashes that felt like I had a piece of cardboard on my lid (you know exactly what I mean). But these? After about five minutes, I forget I'm wearing them. And since they're actual mink, they have this soft, feathery texture that blends with your natural lashes instead of sitting on top looking obvious.
The natural color works with literally everything too. Sometimes you get lashes that are too black and look harsh, especially in daylight. These have that softer natural tone that photographs beautifully but still gives you all the drama you want.
The Real Details
Here's the thing about reusable lashes. Most brands say "reusable" but after three wears they look raggedy. I've gotten a solid 20 wears out of these Reese lashes and they still look good. The trick is being gentle when you remove the glue (I use a cotton swab with oil-free makeup remover) and storing them back in their tray.
Application is pretty straightforward if you've worn strips before. Measure them against your eye first... you might need to trim a tiny bit off the outer corner. I use a clear lash glue and wait about 30 seconds for it to get tacky before applying. Pro tip from my salon days: use tweezers to place them as close to your lash line as possible, then press the inner corner down first, middle second, outer corner last. Takes maybe two minutes once you get the hang of it.
Girl, Just Try Them
If you've been wanting to try dramatic lashes but worried about looking overdone or dealing with heavy, uncomfortable strips, these hit different. Quality 5D mink, comfortable wear, and they last long enough to make them worth the investment. Your selfies are about to look incredible.
