Self-Adhesive Eyelash Kit Offers Salon-Like Results for Under $35
An at-home lash extension alternative bypasses the high cost and application complexity of traditional methods.
A new self-adhesive eyelash kit is emerging as a budget-friendly alternative to expensive salon lash extensions, offering a simpler application process for at-home use. The FlutterHabit STICKtionary Bestie Self Adhesive Eyelashes Kit is priced at under $35 and aims to replicate the look of professional extensions without the typical costs and salon visits.
Traditional lash extensions can cost over $100 and often involve chemical treatments. The application process for salon extensions can include chemicals such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), solvents, and alcohols like acetone or gamma-butyrolactone to adhere the extensions and prepare natural lashes. This new at-home option eliminates the need for these complex chemical processes.
The STICKtionary kit features pre-glued individual lashes that are applied underneath natural lashes, designed to blend seamlessly without requiring trimming. The kit includes five pairs of lashes, with each pair intended to last between 5 to 7 days, even through activities like sweating, showering, and crying. Application is done using fingers or tweezers, and while it may require some practice, the brand suggests it can be mastered quickly.
Beyond ease of application, the brand also offers a Lash Removal Balm designed to gently dissolve the adhesive, allowing the lashes to slide off without pulling on natural lashes. The lashes are available in various styles, ranging from natural looks to more dramatic cat-eye designs.
Customer reviews indicate satisfaction with the product's performance, with one Amazon reviewer noting the glue is "tacky and very sturdy" and that the falsies feel like actual lash extensions. The same reviewer highlighted the quick application time, stating, "Pre glued is where it's at."
