Eye Charm: Double Eye-lid Glue

I've always known that double eye-lid tape existed... and one of my best friends, a few years ago, accidently discovered that you can get the same results with eyelash glue (ie. ardell), because it dries clear. I don't need this stuff actually since I already have a double eye-lid, but for those of you mono-lid ladies out there, this might interest you.
I have recently been on the look-out for lid tape or glue that will also adhere eyeshadow, so that it appears invisible under it -- I was introduced to a very popular product in Japan called Eye Talk , but I wasn't interested in purchasing it since it was rather expensive on Ebay and I wasn't in any hurry to get it yet. Then last week as I was ordering some lashes from an Ebay seller (I've bought from him before), I saw that he added new items which included an eye-lid glue similar to Eye Talk, called EYE CHARM for only $5 for 2 pkgs... so I decided to give it a try...
Comes with an "applicator" -- to help create the crease.

My eye before "eye charm" -- already have a double eye-lid... so gonna make it bigger..


After glue application and letting it dry a little... I use the included applicator fork to create a higher crease

My eye with a high crease, created by using Eye Charm

Overall, I was pretty impressed... but i'm sure i can get the same results with ardell eyelash glue... I even tried it with make up... I wasn't convinced... on one eye I put on a layer of eyeshadow before I used Eye Charm and on the other eye I used Eye Charm first before putting on eyeshadow. Maybe I haven't mastered the proper technique yet, but for either way, it made the eyeshadow look uneven and it was very obvious I had something on my lid...
Also... for me, this glue isn't anything special because I get the wonky/higher lids when I get too much sleep anyway (or if I rub my eyes)... lol I'm sure some of you know what i'm talking about =P
