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

Honest Comparison: Original Version vs. Pre-GLUE Version

The kit includes five lengths of large lashes—8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 16mm—with 20 lashes of each length.

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.

The instructions are printed on the back of the product box, and for maximum effect and long-lasting wear, make sure to read them carefully before use.

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.

After use, the Pre-Glue lashes show that the clear glue has become cloudy, and sticky residue can be seen around the band.

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 stiff 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

• Even with one segment, the look feels more artificial

Pre-Glue Version Design

• Only the centre segments are longer, with shorter sides

• 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

For a comparison of length and shape, the top left shows Pre-Glue 8mm, the top right shows DIY Kit (Classic) 8mm, the bottom left shows Pre-Glue 14mm, and the bottom right shows the DIY Kit (Classic) 14mm that I used previously. The lashes from the original DIY kit are mostly the same length, while the Pre-Glue lashes are uneven, with the middle lashes longer than the sides. In addition, the band of the pre-glue lashes is noticeably thicker and heavier than that of the regular DIY kit.

6. Length Options and Mixing Tips

With the original version

→ 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

Category	Original Version	Pre-Glued Version
Band Thickness	Thin	Thick
Glue Needed	Yes	No
Retention	Falls off naturally	Long-lasting, sticky over time
Natural Look	Uniform length, artificial	Longer centre, more natural
Comfort	Comfortable immediately	Needs adjustment time
Reuse	Possible with care	Almost impossible
Stability	Hard to fix	Stable and adjustable

Final Review and Recommendation for Lash Ease DIY Lash Extensions

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.
