The plastic tweezers from MAGLashes made a very good impression in our test. The product not only impresses with its appealing, simple design, but also with its pleasant ergonomics and easy handling. The 3 mm wide tip allows easy gripping and the rounded ends ensure safe application to the eye. The product is therefore ideal for attaching magnetic eyelashes, which would also stick to conventional metal tweezers. The plastic tweezers can also be used for handicrafts, repairing electronic devices or assembling models. The robust plastic speaks for its durability. The white MAGLashes tweezers can be added to the shopping basket free of charge for orders over 30 euros.

Packaging
The plastic tweezers from MAGLashes arrived for our test in a festive cardboard box. The box was undamaged and easy to open. The box contained the plastic tweezers wrapped in paper together with the instructions. Although the product was loose in the box, it arrived undamaged. This meant that the product was fully protected and the plastic tweezers were delivered in perfect condition . The packaging is also recyclable. In this respect, the product leaves a very good first impression.

The booklet also contains ingredients and warnings about MAGLashes as well as various links to the company’s website, which contains further tips & tricks, care instructions and an FAQ. Contact information can also be found in the instructions. However, there is no customer hotline. Nevertheless, this is a very good way to send a product.

incl. tutorial
Firstly, it should be mentioned that the plastic tweezers make a very good visual impression. The product has rounded corners, but minor processing errors in the sense of protruding plastic in transition areas. However, this is not a problem during use. Overall, the plastic tweezers are very comfortable to hold and impress with their low weight and sturdy workmanship. The material yields slightly under pressure and then returns to its original state, preventing immediate breakage.
There is no information about the sustainability of the product. The materials used appear to be of very high quality, which is why we assume a long service life. Quality testing and assurance takes place in Germany.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Handling | Well-chosen pressure point, some force required | 90 points |
| Safety of the application | No risk of injury to the eye | 100 points |
| Cleaning | Easy cleaning by hand | 90 points |
| Extra-cosmetic use | Possible | 100 points |
| Variants | Three colour options, set of 3 can be ordered | 100 points |
| Total | 96 points |

We enjoyed attaching magnetic eyelashes with the plastic t weezers from MAGLashes during testing. Thanks to the material, the small magnets do not stick to the tweezers and can be positioned effortlessly . The 3 mm wide tip makes it easy to pick up the so-called MiniMAGs. The rounded end allows safe and comfortable attachment to the lash line without the risk of injury. The manufacturer promises gentle handling of the MiniMAGs, which should break off less quickly due to the properties of the plastic tweezers. We were able to confirm this in our test, at least for the test period. The pressure point of the plastic tweezers is well chosen, although some force is required to utilise the entire gripping surface. We were unable to find any cleaning instructions, which is why we cleaned the product by hand and also disinfected it due to its use on the eye.
We did not test its actual use as craft tweezers, but we did test gripping various objects. We were able to do this without any problems, which is why use for non-cosmetic purposes also seems realistic.
The tested model white, pink logo is also available in pink, black logo and black, gold logo and as a set of 3.

Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good | 100 points |
| Rating cut | 4.3 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 65 points |
| Total | 83 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.3 stars. The 1-2 star ratings did not include any reviews, which is why the criticism cannot be understood. Positive reviews particularly praise the price-performance ratio and the product’s ease of use. Both the use with the MAGLashes works perfectly as well as the use in other areas of application (removing cassettes from the car radio, larger splinters from fingers). In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the plastic tweezers from MAGLashes are effortless, safe and easy to use, even outside the cosmetic field.
Prices of up to €16 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available for as little as €0.50. The plastic tweezers from MAGLashes are therefore in the lower price segment with a current price of €1.95. Consequently, the price ratio is very good for the quality and range of services you receive. It should also be mentioned that the white MAGLashes tweezers can be added to the shopping basket free of charge from a current value of €30.
