False eyelashes. Love or hate them?

I never even thought about false eyelashes until our make up artist started incorporating them into the tutorials and making it look so easy. She teaches how to cut them to size, decorate them for New year parties, stack them ( yes you can put on more than one pair at a time for hotter smokier looks!). The models look amazing. In fact, I was a model for our Halloween collection ( watch out I was Fire Woman and the Pink Pirate!!) and had them applied. They looked great, very sexy, but I kept thinking they might fall off, and maybe my imagination but they felt heavy!! Since then, I have found a wonderful lash enhancer through a good friend, and I tend to use the lash enhancer and my mascara for a look that is pretty close to a false eyelash. While visiting here in the UK, and researching make up and beauty here ( what a chore!!!) I noticed lashes that already have a glue strip on them and it is said that you can use them several times. Well, this was interesting because part of the issues I also have with false eyelashes is fiddling with the glue!! So, what is your thoughts on false eyelashes and do you wear them, and how many people have stacked them? I have added a couple of pics from our Halloween collection DVD. Remember I am the pink pirate and the fire woman. LOL!!

I been thinking about writing a article about eyelash extensions you know the pros and cons. Only cause you hear how good they are but what is the down side to them I wonder besides the price?

This amazing product will transform your very own lashes into healthy, sexy, long, flirty eyelashes. It is an eyelash conditioner (clear serum) that you apply to the lash line at night before bedtime and in as little as 21 days you begin to see results. It can be applied to top and bottom lashes as well as brows. It even comes with an unbelievable 12 month money back guarantee so you can try at no risk. If you have any questions or would like to see some before and after pics just get in touch anytime. My niece has and OCD called Trich and did not have any eyelashes and now has lashes for the first time in 8 years and is able to wear mascara. Makes me so happy to see the confidence this has brought back to her. Really touching how this has also helped women who have had to endure chemo treatments.; ▶ Reply to This

Wow, that's an amazing story about your niece.... Where one can get a product like that? And also, are you sure they will not fall out for good in a year or so, is it really safe?

Thank you!; ▶ Reply to This

The only thing I would not recommend is eye lashes extension or whatever it is called when they glue artificial lashes to yours...

I tried that and it was a disaster, not only I ended up with no lashes at all (I am serious, half of them fell out and the rest I just plugged out just to get rid of the artificial ones!). It's not only you can not touch your eyes, and you have to try to sleep on your back all the time, so that they do not fall off or curl the wrong way, you can not even take your makeup off properly, since you can not touch the eye lash line, bits of eyeliner and shadows stays between the lashes and it all starts to each and look red in 2 or 3 days, it was a disaster!

I called the salon to take them off, but the beautician was out of town for 2 days so I just had to rip them off they itched so bad....

I grew my eye lashes back in a month time, got myself Chanel Inimitable Mascara and lived happily ever after :)); ▶ Reply to This
