For the last at least 5 years I’ve worn false lashes. Once you start wearing them, it’s really hard to quit. Compare it to trying to quit coffee or pop that you are in a habit of drinking everyday – same thing (kind of). Years ago, I tried getting lash extensions which did not go well – an allergic reaction, missing eyelashes and a heavy dose of Benadryl later- I swore to never try that ever again. Over on Instagram I started seeing these Flutterhabit lashes keep popping up on my feed and then a few people I followed started wearing them. I was intrigued but hesitant. Lashes that you glued to the underside of your eyelashes?? Lashes that lasted 5 days?? Last fall I decided to give them a whirl and now I am legit addicted. (Sidenote- this post is NOT sponsored. I would totally love to be but just an fyi!)

Why I Love Them

1. Easy to Apply! It takes some practice getting the hang of putting these on, like anything in life. The first few times I tried applying these I was quite frustrated. And after having lashes fall off after just 1 day, I decided pretty quickly they weren’t for me. It wasn’t until I saw someone give a tip on applying these that I decided to give them a second chance. And now- I have them applied in 5-10 minutes.
2. Saves Me Time! I might be rare when it comes to this but I love getting ready in the morning. Sitting down at my makeshift vanity and applying my makeup for the day always makes me happy. But, I’m a busy mom and don’t always have tons of time to sit down and do my makeup like I’d like. Having my lashes on when I wake up saves me at least 5-10 minutes. I can do my makeup so much quicker with these on.
3. Love the Look! These look so similar to girls who go and get professional eyelash extensions (in my opinion). I like how these look more than my strip lashes; look more natural to me!
4. Affordable! These are much cheaper than eyelash extensions and much less time consuming.
5. Lasts me 5-7 days! Once applied, these typically last me 5-7 days.

Tips On Applying

1. Give It A Minute!! After putting glue on the eyelash segments, I let them sit for at least a minute before applying them to the underside of my eyelashes. This way the glue is a little bit tacky so they apply easier and don’t slide around as much.
2. Leave Them Alone! Once you apply these to your eyelashes, LEAVE THEM ALONE! This is my biggest and most important tip. I leave them alone for at least 15 minutes, unlike strip lashes where you have a limited time to get them put in place, this type of glue takes much longer to set. I will use the bottom side of my tweezers to carefully push them up (not touching the base where the glue is) a few times throughout the fifteen minutes but don’t do anything else.
3. Customize it to Your Shape! Most people have to trim at least 1 tiny segment of the lashes. For me- I have smaller eyes so I find with most styles, I only need 3 of the segments, not 4. You might need all 4, but don’t feel like you have to use that much if it doesn’t fit your eye.
4. Use Tweezers! To apply these, you should use tweezers. I don’t think just using your fingers would work very well.
5. The Remover Balm is a Must! The company just came out with a new balm to help you remove your lashes. I’ve used this twice and it works like a charm. You don’t want to pull these off or you’ll pull your natural lashes out with them. I take a small amount of balm and rub it all over my eyelid and within a minute or two they slide right off.

My Favorite Styles

1. The Flirt. This is hands down my favorite style!! I only use three of these segments. Full looking and very curly- I also find these the easiest to apply.
2. The Wink. With this style, I use all 4 segments. If you have smaller eyes, these are a great choice!
3. The Sweetheart. These are a great middle of the road lash, not too “va-voom” but not too “natural”. Just the right in-between.
