Why it worked
This video likely worked because it taps into a relatable "beauty hack" scenario where a common product is repurposed in an unexpected way. The humor and "desperate times" aspect, combined with the use of a popular beauty brand, makes it shareable and engaging.
Summary
The creator's lash cluster falls off, so she improvises by using Sol de Janeiro's perfume balm as glue, having heard it was sticky. She then attempts to reapply the lash cluster using the balm.
