  Kardashian-fluttery eyelashes take time—often an hour to glue on—not to mention a small fortune. Benefit’s new in-house beauty bars have a faster, cheaper option. Buy a $15 pack of lash strips and, for an extra $5, a staffer will apply the strip in minutes. Pick out individual or cluster lashes, and they can do the same for $10 to $15. A full set takes twenty minutes (you sit, they stand), and you can dial up the drama as you go. Lashes can last up to two weeks with proper care, and should any fall out in the first five days, Benefit will touch them up for free.
