Pre-Glued DIY Lash Extensions Review: Original Lash Ease Version Comparison

Honest Comparison: Original Version vs. Pre-GLUE Version

As someone who has been using DIY lash extensions for a while, I tried the newly released Pre-Glue DIY Lash Extensions and compared them directly with the previous version. In this review, I will go over the differences in shipping, comfort, retention, natural look, and ease of application.

1. Shipping and First Impressions of the Pre-Glue DIY Extension Kit.

Shipping Speed

Just like the previous version, the Pre-Glue DIY Lash Extensions arrived very quickly.

Packaging and First Look

• Original version: Simple and practical packaging
• Pre-Glue version: Clean white case with a more luxurious, premium feel

I tried the new version right after it was released, and from the moment I opened the package, it clearly felt like a premium line.

2. Band and Glue Differences

Pre-Glued Band Features (New Version)

• The lash band already has glue applied
• When removing lashes from the tray, if the tweezers touch the glue

👉The glue can stretch or clump, so extra care is needed

Glue Application Comparison

• Original version: Mascara-type glue must be applied directly to natural lashes
• Pre-glue version: No glue application step needed

👉 Not having to apply glue separately makes the process much more convenient.

3. Retention Comparison (Biggest Difference)

Original Version Retention

• Lashes usually fall off naturally during cleansing or showering after a few days
• The remaining glue can be removed fairly easily with a remover
• Personally, they lasted up to about 4 days (although advertised as 7–10 days)

Pre-Glue Version Retention

• Clearly lasts much longer
• Over time, the glue becomes sticky
• The band can look shiny and slightly darker
• When blinking, it sometimes feels like the glue slightly sticks
• Instead of falling off naturally, I usually remove them myself when I feel it is time to change them

👉 In terms of retention alone, the Pre Glue version is much better.

4. Comfort and Adjustment Period

• With the pre-glue version, there is an adjustment period of a few hours
• The band feels thicker and a bit bold at first, causing slight discomfort
• Comfort improves noticeably over time

In comparison, the original version feels comfortable almost immediately after application.

5. Design and Natural Look

Original Version Design

• All lash segments are similar in length – I used “Classic” lash style
• Even with one segment, the look feels more artificial

Pre-Glue Version Design

• Only the centre segments are longer, with shorter sides – “Wispy” style
• Creates a much more natural lash look
• At first, the short sides and longer centre felt a bit unusual, but after 2–3 uses, it felt completely natural

✔ For natural daily makeup: Pre-Glue version
✔ For bold, dense volume: Original version

6. Length Options and Mixing Tips

→ I used shorter lashes on the outer corners and longer ones in the centre

With the pre-glue version

• 8mm lashes are barely noticeable
• I personally prefer natural-looking lashes, but even 16mm, which felt too much before, works well when mixed in one piece at a time

👉 The Pre Glue version allows more flexible length mixing.

7. Lash Quality, Damage Risk, and Reuse

Lash Fibre Quality

• The Pre-Glue version has soft, luxurious fibres
• Looks less artificial when worn

Natural Lash Damage

• The original version requires glue on natural lashes -> higher risk of damage
• Pre-glue version skips this step, so it feels less damaging overall
• However, strong glue residue left after removal can still potentially damage natural lashes

Reusability

Pre-Glue version:

• Glue becomes sticky and loses adhesion
• Reuse is almost impossible

Original version:

• Can be reused with careful maintenance – Marketed as reusable
• However, after one use, unless managed very carefully, the difference compared to new lashes is noticeable and lash density decreases

👉 If reusability and cost-effectiveness matter, the original version is better.

8. Ease of Application: Pre-Glued DIY Lash Extensions vs Original Version

Original Version

• Glue must be applied to all lashes and worked with quickly
• Once placed, adjusting the angle or fixing the position is difficult
• Retention feels weaker if natural lashes are sparse

Pre Glue Version

• No need to rush during the application
• The thick centre band provides strong and stable fixation
• Easy to correct small mistakes or adjust angles
• Works well regardless of whether natural lashes are thick or sparse

Pre-Glued DIY Lash Extensions vs Original Lash Ease Version

Final Review and Recommendation

If you naturally have a lot of lashes, the original version that attaches directly to your natural lashes can still be a good option. However, in my case, whether because my natural lashes are sparse or simply due to lack of skill, the original version did not last long. I personally expect to stick with the Pre-Glue version, which looks more natural and lasts much longer.
