Latest Addiction: Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions are one of those recent fads that have been much on my radar for some time.  Like eyebrow threading, it was always something that I always thought was not for me - how wrong I was.

Having sat in a reclined chair for an hour after a long day at work - yes, I did fall asleep! - I was almost mesmerised by the final result of having tiny hairs painstakingly applied to my own short, and pretty feeble, natural lashes.

As the pictures show, I now have the lashes of my dreams - long, healthy and perfectly graduated in length.  The best part - it is almost undetectable that they are not what nature intended!

If I care for these correctly - absolutely no rubbing and not a hint of an oil based product - I can expect them to last around 3 weeks before I need another set.  Supposedly the glue used - by an independent beautician in my local area - will cause absolutely no harm to my natural lashes.  I cannot report on that so far but all I know is, if there is no damage, I'll be back in 3 weeks falling asleep in the reclining chair ready to get a new set...who ever said natural is best?!  ;)

  6. Beautiful indeed :) but the fact that you have to get a new set in 3 weeks is quite annoying...well at least in my opinion ;) xxx

  8. @Lisa - They were £25! In terms of eye make remover, as long as it isn't oil based there are no issues - just don't rub them too hard :) xx

    @Marina - Oh yes, Christmas definitely calls for them! xx

    @Evelyn - I got mine done by a local lady for £25 but a lot of places offer them! You can put mascara on the tips if you wish but there are so dark and long that I don't feel the need to use any - saves so much time in the morning! xx

    @Cat - I would definitely say try them once! They make life so much easier haha xx

    @Charmaine - So far I haven't lost any of my natural lashes from these falling out but will report back once they are all gone! xx

    @Lina - Yes, this is definitely the draw back!! I've also lost quite a few already so don't think I'll even last 2 weeks! xx

    @Suzie - Thank you girl! xx

    @Frances - Me too - I'm so impressed!! xx

    @Larry - Thank you!! xx
