Before you doubt its abilities based on the price point, let us ease your concerns by confirming that it has been gaining an impressive following of admirers on TikTok.

Not only does it help to lift and separate your lashes evenly and perfectly, but it also leaves them looking fluffy; saving you from many gruelling hours of a lash technician prodding and poking at your eye.

A work of art, the Lash Clash contains an oil-in-water wax, complex firm forming polymers, and wear boosters; all in all, this creamy mix is able to thicken lashes layer by layer with instant success.

The fragrance-free product is also enriched with Iris Florentina extract, a strengthening and repairing ingredient, which helps your lashes to continuously thrive and live to fight many more days.
