This is "Beauty or Bust,"
where we test out the beauty world's weirdest products
and decide if they're worth your money
or a total bust.
Today I'm gonna be testing out the Slylash.
It's basically a multipurpose tool
that you can use as an eyelash curler,
a mascara shield,
and as a guide for eyeliner,
eyebrows, contour, and blush.
I'm gonna be testing out the Slylash on
if it actually works
and if it's user-friendly,
because it comes with a lot of instructions.
I'm talking a lot.
So, the Slylash is mainly meant to be used
as an eyelash curler.
It's very similar to the whole
curling-a-ribbon-with-a-pair-of-scissors idea,
where you kind of press it to your eye
and do, like, this motion with it.
I feel like out of all the things
the Slylash claims to help with,
that's where it's gonna disappoint me.
I don't know. It's like, I get it, but I don't get it.
How it's gonna work,
we'll see.
I'm gonna line my top lid first
and then use the Slylash to do the wing.
So, that actually wasn't so bad.
I did have to go back in and fix it
just so they looked kind of even,
but that's my own fault.
Doing my left side is always really difficult for me,
even with a guide.
So now I'm gonna move on to doing my lashes,
and I'm ready to mess this up.
I feel like a fool.
This is so hard.
I don't understand.
Yeah, if anything, it's, like, flat-ironing my lashes.
They don't look any more curled.
They just look like they're getting flatter.
I have watched the video tutorial, like, 100 times,
I've read the directions 100 times,
but I still don't feel like it's doing anything
that looks that different from my normal lashes.
This is one eye curled,
and this is just my normal lashes.
So I really can't tell the difference,
which makes me think that this isn't working.
Let's try out the rest of the stuff
that it claims to help with
and see if it can redeem itself.
This part of the Slylash works as a mascara shield,
which is what I'm gonna be testing out next.
So, as a mascara shield,
the Slylash wasn't too bad,
but I don't think it worked as best as it could
because this isn't flexible.
This is a hard piece of plastic,
and all the mascara shields I've used in the past
have all been flexible,
so they're very easy to fit to your eye
and move around and flex with.
Next I'm going to try to use the Slylash
to fill in my brows.
I am super impressed
with how that worked as a brow guide.
I kind of love it.
My brows do look a little fuller than normal,
but I'm really into it.
Finally, I am going to move on to my actual face,
and we're gonna use the Slylash to contour my cheeks.
Typically when I put on bronzer,
I bake underneath because it kinda just gets everywhere,
but this actually really helped
with keeping the bronzer where it was supposed to be.
So, love that!
Let's move on to blush.
That looks like blush.
It looks perfectly positioned, though, so I'll give it that.
I think the Slylash overall was pretty good.
I just did not love it when it came to
using it as a mascara shield
or a lash curler.
Using it as a mascara shield was really difficult
just because the plastic is so stiff
and doesn't really flex to fit my eye.
And using it as a lash curler just proved
to be very terrible.
It was terrible.
I couldn't get it to do anything.
My lashes didn't look any more curled.
They looked like they were
kind of straightening out, if anything,
so I just really could not figure it out
for the life of me.
When it came to actually using the Slylash as a guide,
like for my eyebrows, liner, and cheeks,
it worked really well.
Which, you know,
it's a straight piece of plastic,
so why wouldn't it work well for that kind of stuff?
It was really easy to kinda just
trace along the edge of it
and get everything where it needed to be.
I'm gonna say that I personally don't think
that the Slylash is worth the $10.
Only because it doesn't work for curling your lashes,
which is the main point to this product.
I think the one saving grace
that the Slylash has
is that it is a multipurpose tool.
So if you do want to spend the 10 bucks on it,
you can use it for things other than curling your lashes.
