Can self adhesive lashes replace lash extensions?
TOTALLY YES!
Recently, I have decided to take a break from my monthly lash extensions as I’ve been doing it non stop for probably at least 6 months. My lashes has became so weak and sparse (then it already is before) and i think my eyes are getting sensitive and itchy cause of all the constant glueing(?). So i have switched it back to using daily eyeliner and masacara.
But ever since i decided to try a new eyeliner before switching back to my all time favourite (Refer to my post on recommended eyeliner!), my eyes has become even more sensitive than it already is and it has come to the point where it’s getting painful and red when using make up remover around my eyes lol. Hence, I started sourcing for alternatives and came to know self adhesive lashes (免胶美睫） on Lemon8 🍋 and XHS 📕. They have tons of videos/posts with people recommending quite a few brands and all of them look super pretty and natural. I decided to give them a try and order three different lashes designs (two of the same brand).
Here’s my review after trying all of them so far:
✨BQI: Sunflower
~ SGD32 for one box of 3 pairs
Ok tbh, I didn’t manage to find any posts/videos about this brand nor any reviews on XHS and Lemon8. The only reason I decided to get this is because while i was browsing on Shopee and TB, this particular shop popped out and apparently there were quite a few people who bought it with good reviews. This is also recommended by a well known Chinese influencer, 李佳琦, who is known for trying out and review makeup products?
With the above justifications, i decided to overlook the price and ordered it without thinking too much. But boy, this product is 🥴.
I do admit that the design is super pretty, and probably because i am still a beginner so i couldnt really understand how to put these lashes on well enough lol. But… the glue on these lashes are really REALLY bad.. like super sticky with all the stretching everywhr on my tweezers, my fingers (the 拉丝 if you get what i mean) BUT, it just doesnt stay where i wanted it to be on my lashes (TLDR: got glue everywhr around you but not your lashes)
So nope. Please dont buy if you ever came across this. (Then again, it’s probably only me. If the reviews are all real lol)
✨BEAUTY FUNKO: Shanghai & Cheng Du (City series)
~ SGD 21 total (one box of SH + one box of CD, 5 pairs each)
After the aftermath with BQI, i was so worried that I’ve wasted ~$50 to buy products which I am gonna keep it in my drawer forever. Nonetheless, I gave beauty funko some faith cause at least there are ppl raving abt it on 📕🍋.
Yes, took some faith and tried the SH design..
Lo and behold, it looks super pretty and natural!!
The design made the lashes sort of “blended” itself with my own and make them look longer. But of course, if you look at it really closely, you can still see the transparent band. But it isn’t really obvious in real life so doesn’t affect me that much. Im sure my skills played a part of it, so i will try to hide it better over time lol.
As for the CD design, it provides an eyeliner effect hence, you dont really need to put on any eye make up at all. It looks decent enough for attending events/special occasions too. The third image was the first time i ever tried it on, so there may be some “crooked” or obvious gaps, but i can assure that i have gotten the hang of it and it looks natural now haha
I tried wearing a few times with the same pair so far, it can last up to 2-3 wears and more than 8hrs per day! Pricing wise, it’s also much cheaper (esp during sale).
There’s definitely a lot of cheaper options out there, but by far, these are the ones which i have yet to see any bad reviews. I will try to explore more brands next time! Meanwhile, I actually stock these up during Mothers’ day sale (I bought the Guangzhou and Beijing designs to try too and they gifted one mini box of CD design 😍). So i guess I will use them up first before i try the others!
Do let me know if you have any recommendations for me to try on since i won’t be going back to extensions anytime soon. 😉

If you're considering a switch from traditional lash extensions to self-adhesive lashes like I did, it's important to know how to apply them correctly for the best look and comfort. One thing I learned is practicing placement is key to avoid obvious gaps or crookedness. Also, some brands offer unique lengths such as 7-12mm or 5-9mm options, which help customize the look to your eye shape, just like in the Beauty Funko City series from Shanghai and Cheng Du. This variety lets you blend the adhesive lashes with your natural lashes seamlessly. Another tip is to carefully select a brand with a mild glue formula to reduce irritation, especially if you have sensitive eyes like me. Unlike traditional lash extensions, self-adhesive lashes can be removed and reused several times, making them more budget-friendly. They also provide an eyeliner effect, which means you can skip the eyeliner and still have a natural, polished look for both daily wear and special occasions. For maintenance, avoid rubbing your eyes and use gentle makeup removers to keep the lashes intact longer. Stocking up during sales is also a great way to try different designs without overspending. Overall, self-adhesive lashes from trusted brands have made my beauty routine more comfortable and flexible. I’m excited to experiment further and find even better fits for my style!
where did you get the beauty funko lashes?
