Lashes: Latest Posts

Lilly Lashes has given its Everyday Collection style Blushing a glue-free makeover. The new Blushing Self-Adhesive Lash Kit launched on 2 October 2026 and brings the brand's flirty, fluttery Blushing lash to its peel-and-press line. If lash glue has ever left you with sticky fingertips or a lifting corner by lunchtime, this one deserves a spot in your makeup bag.

What's New: Blushing Goes Glue-Free

Blushing is described as the flirtiest style in the Everyday Collection. It's a round, fluttery lash made from multiple layers of hand-placed 13mm faux mink fibres on a soft cotton band. The result is a subtle lift in volume rather than full drama, so it works well with daytime makeup. It's also designed to be worn with glasses.

The 2026 kit pairs that style with Lilly Lashes' self-adhesive band. The band is pre-glued and activated by body heat, so you don't need separate lash glue. The brand compares it to sticky boob tape technology. Other claims include:

• No glue needed: you can apply and reposition the lashes in seconds
• 24-hour hold, according to the brand
• Reusable for 5+ wears per pair, based on a consumer panel study of 25 people
• A black lash band that looks like eyeliner
• A pillowy, lightweight band for all-day comfort

Each kit includes two pairs of 3D faux mink lashes and an applicator. The launch post on the brand's Instagram calls it a special-edition pink applicator.

Price: Is It Worth It?

The kit costs $34 on the Lilly Lashes site. The regular glue-on Blushing strip lash is $20 for one pair. With the kit you get two pairs, built-in adhesive and a tool. If you reuse each pair several times, the cost per wear is very reasonable. The site also offers free standard shipping on orders of $35 or more.

How to Apply Self-Adhesive Lashes

1. Prep: Curl your natural lashes and add a light coat of mascara if you like.
2. Measure and trim: Peel the lashes off their holders and trim them to fit your eye.
3. Place: Lay the band along your lash line and wait about 30 seconds so your body heat can warm the adhesive.
4. Press: Press the band into your lash line.

Care Tips to Make Them Last

• If the band loses some grip, warm it with a hair dryer for a few seconds and apply again.
• Always store the lashes on their original holders to keep them sticky and in shape.
• After 2–3 wears, wipe the band with water or an oil-free makeup remover. This cleans it and brings back the tack.
• When the band stops sticking, you can still wear the lashes with lash glue like a standard strip lash.

Keep the lashes out of your eyes, and stop using them if irritation occurs.

Swedish lash-and-brow specialist Xlash has opened the festive season with its limited-edition Xlash 12 Days Holiday Calendar 2026 (known in Sweden as Xlash Julkalender 12 luckor). It counts down the first 12 days of December with a curated, all-vegan selection centred on the eye area, from cult serums to cooling gels. Here's what's inside, what it costs and where to get it.

Release Date and Packaging

The calendar appeared on xlash.com on 24 September 2026, and on 2 October 2026 the brand confirmed on Instagram that it's available now. Instead of cardboard doors, each surprise sits in its own numbered cotton drawstring pouch, all packed into a premium reusable beauty bag. The bag is 100% cotton with a water-repellent, wipe-clean finish and a zippered inner pocket, so it works as an everyday makeup or skincare bag long after the holidays.

Products: What's Inside Each Door

The calendar holds 10 Xlash bestsellers, 2 new product launches and 2 exclusive merch pieces:

• Door 1: Xlash Sensitive Eyelash Serum 3ml
• Door 2: Xbrow Sensitive Eyebrow Serum 3ml
• Door 3: NEW Ceramide Lip Butter, Swirl of Vanilla
• Door 4: Collagen Hyal Hydrogel Mask
• Door 5: Caring Eyes Waterproof Make-up Remover
• Door 6: Hydrating Hyal Eye Stick
• Door 7: NEW Xlash Pocket Mirror (merch) + Cult Classic Tweezer + Cult Classic Eyelash Curler
• Door 8: Lash Booster Mascara
• Door 9: NEW Awakening Hydrogel Mask
• Door 10: NEW Xlash Headband (merch)
• Door 11: Eye Love Gels Trio
• Door 12: Calming Eye Gels

Beauty tip: The first two doors are the stars. Apply the lash and brow serums once a day to clean, dry lash lines and brows, ideally at night, and stay consistent: serums like these reward patience. Use the waterproof remover from Door 5 so mascara comes off gently without tugging. On puffy December mornings, the hydrogel masks and eye gels are a quick, cooling refresh.

Prices and Value

The Xlash 12 Days Holiday Calendar costs £109 in the UK, €129 in the EU, 1,399 SEK in Sweden and 549 zł in Poland. US pricing hasn't been confirmed.

Value if bought separately: £258, based on the 10 items already sold individually on the Xlash UK store:

• Sensitive Eyelash Serum 3ml £39 + Sensitive Eyebrow Serum 3ml £39

• Hydrating Hyal Eye Stick £29 + Cult Classic Precision Tweezer £19

• It includes three new London Lash launches: InvisiBlue Adhesive, the Macro Lens and the Fume Absorbing Gel. It also includes existing products such as Mayfair Lashes, Kensington Lashes, SpeedYY Lashes, Booster and Superbonder.
• Its contents cover each stage of a lash appointment: pretreatment, adhesive, extensions, aftercare and salon accessories. The 22 products are spread across 12 drawers.

Key Details

The calendar is a limited edition. According to London Lash, it is designed to help lash artists:

• Restock their professional lash kit
• Try new London Lash launches
• Discover new lash styles and essentials
• Prepare for the busy festive appointment season
• Buy for themselves or as a gift for another lash artist

The brand suggests using it during the Christmas countdown, ahead of the festive appointment season.

It is one of several holiday 2026 advent calendars on the site, alongside the Manucurist Time to Shine and Time to Flash Advent Calendars. For consumer lash launches this season, see the Lilly Lashes Blushing Self-Adhesive Lash Kit, a glue-free strip lash released in October 2026. More lash and eye releases are in our makeup releases category.

NikkieTutorials' beauty brand Nimya has released Trash Until The Lash V2, a trio of strip lashes priced at €13.99 per pair and available now at nimya.com. According to Nimya, the feather-light lashes give a gentle boost in volume and length and suit both first-time lash wearers and those looking for a more dramatic look.

Three Styles, Three Moods

Instead of numbering the new shapes, Nimya has given each lash a date-based style name. These are the names of the lashes, not launch dates. All three styles are available now.

• July 16th: the biggest and most dramatic style in the range, designed for full-glam looks.
• September 10th: a fluffy cat-eye flick style, designed to lift and elongate the outer corners.
• March 31st ("Nikkie's Natural"): a soft, wispy style intended for everyday wear.

Key Details

According to Nimya, every pair has a super soft, flexible band and is light enough to put no burden on the eyes. The brand says the lashes are vegan, cruelty-free and can be re-used 10–20 times.

Nimya describes the feather-light lashes as ideal for those new to lashes or anyone looking for an understated effect. The unit carton is designed to be separated for recycling. The plastic part goes in the plastic bin and the remaining paper goes in the paper bin. Nimya notes that recycling rules differ by country or state.

How to Apply Them

Nimya's product page gives these application steps:

1. Trim to fit. Measure the strip against your lash line and trim from the outer edge.
2. Thin layer of glue. Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive along the band. The brand notes that too much glue can make lashes look clumpy and weigh them down.
3. Use a mirror and tweezers. A magnifying mirror and lash tweezers help with precise placement, especially for beginners.
4. Blend and finish. Blend with mascara and add eyeliner if desired.
5. Remove gently. Peel the lashes off from the outer edge.

Nimya advises testing a small amount of lash adhesive on the skin before applying it near the eyes, to check for allergic reactions.
