‘Don’t throw them away!’ Woman shares ‘genius’ beauty hack that means you can reuse strip eyelashes 25 more times
A SAVVY mum has shared how she gets up to 25 wears out of her strip eyelashes thanks to micellar water.
Falsies are designed to be worn around five times before the adhesive needed to stick them to your eyelids turns them tatty.
But according to Casey Major-Bunce, there’s a simple way to prolong their life using a little bit of micellar water.
The 32-year-old, who is mum to four little ones, goes by Major Mum Hacks on social media.
She’s earned the title by devising life hacks for cleaning, parenting, travelling and everything in between.
Her latest hack is for beauty buffs that love getting dolled up but hate how costly make-up can be.

“Did you know you could save money by using your strip lashes again up to 25 times?” she said on Instagram.
“All you need to do is cleanse them, remove the glue and dry them, then give them a comb.
“Eyelashes can be expensive, but giving them a cleanse really does make them just like new.”
Casey dips her lashes in a small amount of micellar water and gently picks the glue off using tweezers.
She leaves them to try on a towel and combs them through with a spoolie before putting them back in the box.
Fabulous columnist Gemma Bird was quick to comment that she “always does this”.
“I didn’t know this!” Amy Elsegood added.
“I’ll definitely be trying this.
“You’ll save me a fortune now - thank you!”
“I’ve been doing this for years,” another viewer affirmed.
“It’s an amazing way to keep your favourite lashes.”
Others dubbed Casey a "genius" and "life saver".
Last month, the content creator also shared a 5p hack that’s perfect for busy women who don’t have time to scrub their make-up brushes and sponges after every use.
