3 Second Lash offers micromagnetic false lashes that can give your lashes a pop of volume without glue, other adhesives or the hefty price tag that comes along with fancy salon extensions.
3 Second Lash is a new brand of false eyelashes that you apply using built-in magnets, instead of adhesives.
Critical reviews are overwhelmingly of the “I couldn’t get it to work and gave up” variety. But with patience and a little practice, it sounds like you can bat flirty lashes in less time than it takes to dig a tube of mascara out of your makeup bag.
Each purchase gets you two sets of “natural” lashes for a flirty, subtle look and one set of “bold” lashes, adding fullness and volume for a super sultry appearance.
When not in use, you can store your feathery falsies in the included magnetic case. Given the tiny magnets they’re equipped with, these lashes are delicate by nature. But as long as you treat them with the same tender care you’d give your own lashes, you should get plenty of use out of these babies.
Pay for your 3 Second Lash order with PayPal, Amazon Pay, Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover. Your transaction is secure thanks to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software that encrypts your personal and financial information.
Unfortunately, 3 Second Lash doesn’t offer free shipping.
You’ll pay a flat $5.99 for postage and handling. This rate’s steep for such a light item, but 3 Second Lash ships via FedEx SmartPost for easy tracking and you can order up to five complete sets for one low price. This flat shipping fee comes in handy if you’re buying gifts or want to combine orders with a friend.
If you live in New York, Connecticut, Nevada or California, state tax rates apply. And if you’re in Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the US Virgin Islands or Alaska, you’ll pay a $10 delivery surcharge.
Despite its site that claims otherwise, 3 Second Lash is sold at major retailers like Walmart, allowing you to avoid shipping or a wait for delivery.
The brand’s also available on Amazon. If you’re a member of Amazon Prime, you can cash in on that free two-day shipping benefit and save yourself delivery costs altogether without a trip to the store.
Check your order status 24/7 by visiting a third-party status site. Once it’s shipped, you can track your delivery using the FedEx tracking number provided in your confirmation email.
3 Second Lash offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, excluding shipping and handling.
To return your lashes, call customer service at 800-680-9166 for a return authorization number and directions. You pay for return shipping, and shipping charges both ways are not refundable.
3 Second Lash uses micromagnets that gently snap around your natural lashes without the mess and irritation of traditional false eyelashes or an expensive trip to the salon.
Besides mascara, the only other (affordable) option for enhancing lashes is using traditional “falsies,” which typically requires messy adhesives. Not to mention what they can do to sensitive skin, taking you from sexy to sickly in the blink of an eye.
Customers report a learning curve with application, so actually getting these on in 3 Second Lash’s advertised seconds takes some practice.
Until you’ve nailed down the technique that requires lining up the magnets with your natural lash line, magnets may be visible. You also may have to first apply mascara to your natural lashes before putting on 3 Second Lash to keep them securely in place.
You can check your order status anytime at address you receive with your confirmation, just have your order information handy to speed things along. Or give support a ring at 800-680-9166 weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET.

I’ve never been able to wear traditional false lashes. (Dang adhesive allergy!) So I was intrigued with the idea of magnetic lashes and curious enough to try them out. The learning curve is real when putting these on for the first time. But after a handful of attempts (and muttered cursing), I managed to get them to line up correctly, and they looked quite cute. They’re comfortably light and non-irritating, so I can definitely see myself using these again when I want to get dolled up.
