Lash Lust

I LOVE lashes and even that might be an understatement.  I have come to the conclusion that my eyelashes, fake or real, are the most important part of my makeup regimen.  I feel that my makeup really isn’t complete until my lashes are on, and if I’m sporting my real lashes, I promise you, I will not leave the house without them curled and with mascara.  I’m not sure when my lash lust began, but it is in full force currently, and has been for quite some time.

In preparation for my recent nuptials, I decided to try out lash extensions.  I quickly discovered my love/hate relationship with them.  If any of y’all are thinking about getting them, please review my comparison chart below.  Don’t get me wrong, they are gorgeous, but I’ve decided they aren’t for me.  I have yet to try a serum enhancer such as Latisse or Reviatlash, but may soon (thanks to my beauty RN, Hongie!), so I’ll keep you posted.

	Pro	Con
Eyelash Extensions	Always on – lookin’ fab 24/7! Saves time	Takes 2+ hours to apply Costly Can’t wash face like normal Wreaks havoc on natural lashes Stuck with the same lashes 24/7 High maintenance Falls out sporadically
Falsies (strip/individual)	Looks beautiful Choice of lashes to wear Able to wash face as normal	Not lookin’ fab 24/7

A few of my faves that I can’t live without are...

My everyday lash, my staples.

My kinda dressy lash – not too long, not too short…and thick.

My going out lash – longer and more noticeable, but not crazy.

My glam lash – when I’m ready to party it up – BIG FUN! J

And the secret to lasting falsies…

It truly is like eyelash super glue.  Yes, it’s better than Duo and Ardell and whatever small bottle came with your lashes.  It’s magical actually, and my secret weapon. J

And just so y’all know I’m not crazy (well maybe just a little), and not the only one suffering from lash lust, look what I came across in my weekly blue bag delivery…

Get your eyelash gear out girlies and get them lashes on!
