I have always had pretty short lashes and if I don't have mascara they just don't show...and always loved the thought of full, thick lashes without the hassle of applying falsies everyday...seriously, who has time for that???
In aesthetics school I was super excited to try and learn how to do eyelash tinting...until I turned out to have an allergic reaction to it... how sad!?
Next I researched eyelash extensions and had them done twice, by two different people. The girl I first went to did a horrible job, and after about 3 weeks all the lashes were gone...also she applied them in a terrible fashion, they were just way too long compared to my lower lashes and she stuck a few together as well...whatever..main thing is, they were crap!
About a haf year later, through work, I was told of another girl who applied them amazingly and truly did stay on for a good 6-8 weeks for the same price. I was just about to go on holiday and thought I'd give it a go... THEY WERE AMAZING! They did stay on for about 2 months!! (If you live in BUDAPEST and need her contact name and number let me know!!!)
Bottom line: ONLY pay for this service if the person applying the lashes is truly professional!!!
Another inconvenience with the lash extensions are that you can't wear too much eye makeup, as you only can remove it with water based makeup remover (creamy and oily substances make the adhesive deteriorate) and you need to be super gentle. However, if you know you have the skill and patience for it, and are ok with not applying too much eye makeup give it a go! KIM KARDASHIAN LASHES!!! (LOVE)
NOW:
I am not living anymore in Budapest and do not want to waste money on trying to find someone who will apply the lash extensions the way I WANT THEM and EXPECT THEM to be, I decided to go another route....
I read a lot about LiLash over the past couple of years, read the blogs, looked at the before and after photos, watched the youtube reviews and became very intrigued and impressed so I decided to go for it and ordered the product!! I am VERY excited for it to arrive (hope it will get here soon!!) and to try it out! In the reviews, there is a mix of people who had seen rapid change in 3 weeks and some who needed a good 4-5 weeks...some people have spoken about redness or sensitivity of the eye(lid), but all have stated that it was not at all painful or irritating, which I think ( and hope ) is honest, and makes me think they wouldn't state it if there was anything to hide. All in all everyone highly recommends it so I am going to try it! :)
Here are my lashes NOW:
Yes...that is tattooed liner...DO NOT EVER HAVE IT DONE!! I should't have had it done but...whatever... anyhoo THERE they are, quite normal not too long and a little blotchy , totally uneven distribution of long/medium/short lashes... Let's call this "Day 0".
When the product arrives I'll post a photo of it and write how the first application was..then I'll do a weekly lash photo, on how they've changed!! Ooooh..so exciting!! :)
Any questions??? Have any of you tried any of the lash "growing" methods??
Let me know what else you'd like me to write about!
