I give a 5 star review because the product is fantastic and has worked great and I will continue to buy for a very long time. I would suggest inluding, especially as a first time buyer, a giant recommendation to purchase the extra lash glue for the long lasting lashes. Due to my own negligence in not understanding fully of what I needed to buy in order to have the long-lasting effect, I did not purchase everything I needed/wanted. That being said, my lashes have been lasting as long as I have wanted them to without the special glue. Hence the 5 Star review and my commitment to continue purchasing from Citizen Lash. HIGHLY recommend this product. Absolutely fantastic!
