My gran tried lashes for the first time but I warned her not to – the results are shocking, I'm sure they used nail glue
A GRANDMOTHER found herself in an awkward situation after a visit to a nail salon to get false eyelashes left her struggling to remove them.
Her granddaughter, who had tried to dissuade her from going but claimed 'she doesn't listen,' shared the ordeal in a viral TikTok video.

The video, posted on the account ' desssnz,' shows the grandmother sporting a thick set of lashes, attempting to soak them off with little success.
Despite her efforts, the glue seemed to hold firm, and by the end of the video, while she appeared to begin peeling them off, the lashes were still stubbornly attached.
Since being shared on 19 May, the video has gone viral, amassing 9.3 million views and prompting 1,152 comments from concerned and amused viewers alike.
One commenter questioned: 'Did they use nail glue?' while another speculated: 'This is obviously gorilla glue.'
A professional lash technician chimed in with a warning: 'Please go to a lash tech salon near you for a lash removal, so you don't damage your natural lashes - that's not gonna come off.'
Another viewer shared their own experience: 'This happened to me.
'It was so PAINFUL and nothing worked, I had to pull them out which took my real lashes, and my eyes were so bald.
'Nail salons really need to stop trying to do lashes.'
We previously revealed how a woman had an epic glow-down after being obsessed with mega lashes and dark eyebrows.
TikToker Kacie Cachia has left people stunned after revealing her dramatic transformation in a viral trend sweeping social media, as thousands showcase their epic glow-down journeys.
The 4 terrifying hidden dangers of eyelash extensions - from lash mites to cornea erosion to cancer-causing
Unlike the ' clean girl aesthetic ' trend, a glow-down embraces the philosophy of 'less is more,' focusing on enhancing natural beauty rather than masking it.
The trend sees the departure of long hair extensions, colourful fake nails, and mega lashes, replaced by a focus on skincare and achieving a youthful, radiant look.
Before her transformation, Kacie sported heavy foundation, bright orange tan, thick eyelash extensions, bold eyebrows, and a plump pout.
Reflecting on her past style, Kacie - who shares her journey on TikTok under the username @ kaciecachiax - admitted she had 'become so obsessed with looking fake.'

Now, Kacie has embraced a more natural look, ditching the cakey foundation and oversized lashes.
In her glow-down reveal, she shared a short video showcasing her fresh-faced beauty with her hair styled in soft, loose curls.
Lash expert reveals mistakes that can harm your eyes
A BEAUTY expert Nouveau Lashes, part of the HD Brows brand, has revealed what habits could be not only damaging your health, but your beauty.
1. Rubbing your eyes
Debbie Law, International Lash Trainer, said: 'Whilst rubbing your eyes could seem pretty harmless, rubbing them too hard can lead to thinning of the cornea, cause blood vessels to break and result in bloodshot eyes and dark under eyes.'
2. Overuse of extensions
Be wary that using them too often can lead to eye infection, allergic reactions and damage to your natural lashes.
3. Wearing mascara too often
Debbie said: 'Most of the damage of wearing mascara lies in the removal process, which is why using mascara every single day can cause lash breakage, as well as making the makeup removal process more difficult."
4. Ripping false lashes off
This can lead to not only losing your lashes, but damaging the hair follicles so they don't grow back.

Primark fans wowed by 'flattering' £16 outfit with 'vintage twist'
The store has impressed shoppers with a vintage-inspired outfit that's ideal for sunny days Primark's "beautiful" new £16 outfit with a "flattering" shape and "vintage-inspired twist" has wowed shoppers. The retailer has long been popular with customers for its affordable clothing, and the latest summer staples could be another hit. Primark is stocking a £16 matching top and skirt that "brings a bright, playful touch to your summer wardrobe." The Shirred Cami Top is £8, and the Shirred Mini Skirt is £8, and are sold separately.. Primark also offers a similar orange outfit that's slightly more expensive: the £13 Gingham Shirred Top and £14 Tiered Mini Rara Skirt, totalling £27 for shoppers keen to buy this colour. Both sets proved popular on TikTok when @prmark_lincoln shared a video highlighting the new summer styles. The caption said: "Look at all that newness," while the video showcased various products, including T-shirts, dresses, and skirts. The pink and orange co-ords were featured at the beginning of the video. Replying to the post, one fan said: "I need." Another commented: "It's beautiful." A different viewer replied with love hearts, prompting the creator to respond: "So nice right?" According to Primark, the outfits are perfect for sunny days and easy to style, whether you prefer to wear the set together or mix and match with other items in your wardrobe. The pink cami top has a V-neck shape with spaghetti straps. The product description explains: "This pink gingham cami top brings a bright, playful touch to your summer wardrobe. The classic pink-and-white check pattern feels cheerful and timeless, while the cropped length pairs perfectly with high-waisted jeans or skirts. "The bodice features shirring across the lower half, giving a stretchy, gathered fit that hugs comfortably around the waist. Above the bust, the fabric smooths out, creating a flattering V-neckline framed by thin gingham spaghetti straps. "Lightweight and breezy, this top is an easy way to add a sweet, vintage-inspired twist to your warm-weather looks." Meanwhile, the pink mini skirt has a shirred waistband and tiered design. The product description explains: "This shirred mini skirt is all about fun, frills and easy styling. Made from a soft, lightweight fabric, it comes in a pink gingham print that gives it a playful pop. The wide shirred waistband keeps it comfortable, while the tiered ruffle layers bring plenty of movement. Pair it with the matching top for a co-ordinated fit that will have heads turning." While the orange set looks similar, the top has a scoop neckline that differentiates it from the pink version. Primark shared styling suggestions for the orange set, saying it could also be paired with skirts and shorts, making it ideal for summer. The description explains: "Team it with the matching mini skirt or your go-to denim shorts for an effortlessly playful look. Light, comfy, and totally on-trend — this is one top your warm-weather wardrobe needs."

As the first born, am I the smartest? Maybe – but siblings shape us in far more interesting ways
A new book about sibling relationships, The Family Dynamic by Susan Dominus, examines how things like birth order and the specific achievements of your siblings affect a person's life trajectory. As such, some of my favourite research is back in the public eye: the studies that suggest that I, as the eldest of three children, am the cleverest. I'm kidding. I don't actually think this is true in my own sibling group, but sure, I'll take it, and say so in the national press: I'm smarter than you guys, science confirms. I am very interested in siblings and their influences, though. So much so that I wrote my first novel about a brother-sister relationship. Siblings shape you in ways that are less deliberate than parents, which means their influence is less discussed, though just as important. That said, birth order has remained a public fascination, with parents agonising over whether a middle child is overlooked or eldest is overburdened. I definitely have classic 'eldest daughter syndrome': the tendency for the oldest girl in a family to take on roles of responsibility. Planning of family matters has generally fallen to me in the past, and I remain a planner. I like control to the freakish degree that I eat the same breakfast and lunch every single weekday and run my to-do list with the iron fist of a navy Seal commander. Still, I have often thought that some of the well-worn sibling birth order archetypes – the type-A eldest daughter, the laid-back middle sibling, the rebellious youngest child – must be too simple. They sat in my mind alongside things like star signs: fun but ultimately baseless ways to parse the eternal puzzle of why people are the way that they are. But it seems, as Dominus found, that the studies do bear this stuff out. Eldest children apparently outstrip their younger counterparts in cognitive tests by as early as their first birthday, probably due to the increased parental attention they receive during the however-brief period they are an only child. And sibling influence can be incredibly powerful. Dominus interviews families in which each child went on to achieve success in very different fields, and were spurred to do so specifically by what their siblings were doing. My brother was a quiet little boy, either naturally or because I did all his talking for him. We were very close as children – I would get my hair cut short like his, and enjoyed it if people mistook us for twins. But we grew into quite different people, and that is probably no accident. For instance, he went on to pursue Stem subjects, and I pursued the humanities: the boy whose sister spoke for him went for numbers and concepts, and I went for words. Age gaps between siblings can also complicate the effect of birth order. My sister is nearly 10 years younger than me, whereas my brother is only 18 months my junior. She told me: 'I feel like being the youngest, with two siblings quite a bit older than me, meant that I sculpted my perception of what is 'cool' on a pretty much even mix of your respective interests.' She's very into music (my brother) and also video games (me). I think she's also more emotionally robust than I am. We both wonder whether this is partly the result of getting a front-row seat to all of mine and our brother's chaotic decisions and teenage crises, and being able to take notes. By now, my siblings and I are, roughly, who we're going to be. We're all adults. Perhaps it is less that we are now honing ourselves consciously or subconsciously to resemble or differ from one another, but that we act as vivid mirrors for each other to really see ourselves in. Sometimes, in the company of my brother and sister, I have an ambient sense of something similar to not liking myself very much. Partly, it's that near-universal experience of regression in the family home: we start to occupy childish roles to befit the dynamics first built in childhood. But it's also that these are people who have seen every side of me. And they have not been afraid to challenge my less lovable attributes. That feeling of not liking myself is maybe more accurately a feeling of being truly, wholly known for my best and worst traits. My irritability, my belief that I know better than others, my melodrama. I see their flaws too, and they know that I see them. Not unexpectedly, some of these flaws are shared. I asked my brother about this, and he said: 'Seeing characteristics of yourself in people you love is quite helpful. Like, oh maybe I'm not that bad: I don't hate them for the way they are, but the opposite.' And for all that we bicker, it's a beautiful thing to be loved by people who, unlike your parents, are not hard-wired to love you unconditionally, but who know you just as well as your parents do, and for almost as long.

Dog trainer explains how to tell if your pet loves you or just tolerates you
The expert shared the five signs that show your dog 'loves you' - and dozens of pet owners have weighed in. Owning a pet is no walk in the park. The mere thought of expensive vet bills could give anyone pause, yet the affection a pet can offer is priceless. But dogs have long held the title of humankind's best friend, with the bond between them and their owners truly remarkable. When a dog loves a human, it shows unwavering loyalty and affection. For owners though, one question posed by a dog trainer has stirred up quite the debate: 'Does your pet love or just tolerate you?' This is a matter of canine behaviour, as highlighted by well-known dog trainer Enric Rodriguez. He has pinpointed specific behaviours that reveal whether your relationship with your furry friend is built on genuine trust or simply revolves around you being their meal ticket, reports the Express. In a TikTok video, Enric says: "Trust is not earned with food alone but with safe and consistent experiences. Here are some clear signs that your dog trusts you. First, it looks for you when it doesn't feel safe. "If something scares it, it goes to you to feel safer. Second, it sleeps deeply near you." Enric points out, if your dog is at ease beside you, it shows genuine trust. Thirdly, if your pooch is happy being handled. "If it lets you touch its paws, ears, belly, it indicates that it feels comfortable with you. Does it pay attention to you even without food?" "That's a sign you mean more than just treats. Fifth, does it follow you without being called?" Your pet's attachment to you isn't necessarily due to anxiety but because it cherishes your presence. These subtle behaviours often reflect a bond formed with respect, patience, and consistency. In the comments section, pet owners were keen to share their own tales. One user confessed: "My puppy doesn't like me he wants to bite me all day long." Another shared their unique challenge: "Everything except not letting you touch his paws or ears because!!!" A third disclosed: "Hello! I have a 1-year-and-2-month-old dog with serious separation anxiety issues. He cries when he's alone, and even if I lock myself in a room, he'll eat anything when he's alone.." Yet, amidst the struggles, some comments reflected happier experiences. One person described a content scene: "Mine is currently lying on the sofa at my feet, belly up, and the lady is snoring." And another added a note of affection with a hint of humour: "My Chihuahua meets all the points mentioned in the video, so I deduce that he loves me. Of course, if he's resting and I try to pick him up, he gets aggressive, and if he's snuggled up with my mother, even more so." According to the study, a dog's heart rate increases by 46.2 percent when they hear the words "I love you."
