Just when you think I'm this completely selfless woman who wants to just give back to the world (a-la yesterday's blog post), I start talking vanity.
Hey.... when I get my Humanitarian Award, I have to look good....right?
Anyway.... I've been thinking about fake eyelashes for quite awhile.
So, I figured I'd ask my wonderful blog readers to weigh in.....

Now that the Kardashians and the New Jersey Housewives have returned to the tube, I'm back in full yes-I-want-fake-eyelashes mode.
I was off the obsession for awhile but now my wants are raging once again.
A few months back, I even had a very serious conversation with my eye brow technician/facialist about having those semi-permanent eye lashes put on that you have to have filled-in every so many weeks.
Although I considered it a bit of an investment, I was smitten with the idea of waking up looking like a movie star......yes I live in lala land sometimes....
I was *this* close to shelling out the money to do it when I found myself at the shoe department at Nordstrom's and all hell broke loose.
It seemed a bit frivolous to get new eye lashes when I just had a magnificently decadent and frivolously grand time shoe shopping....
Aside from the fact that you might want to label me a bit self-absorbed and advise me to stop being influenced by New Jersey Housewives and the family Kardashian.....do you have any words of wisdom for me as I contemplate my latest desire?

Well I had them about three years ago. I have very long eyelashes(like they touch my brows) BUT they are sparse. So I wanted to make them thicker only.
So I gave it a try. I didn't go to the best, I chose the cheaper route instead. It was good. I did like it but I blinked a lot in the very beginning and they lasted about three weeks.
I considered going to a high end establishment not to long ago but honestly, I just don't want the up keep. Besides, I wear heavy eyeliner so that requires that I rub my eyes with my fingers to wash off and that is not idea for the lashes.
Hope this helped.

So.... I was a makeup artist for 7 years or so and I personally love fake eyelashes for certain occasions. I would suggest going to a Mac counter or one of your favs that sells lashes if you buy them for $7 or $8 bucks just ask one of the consultants to put them on for you. Wear them for an evening or day or whatev and decide how you like them. They obviously won't be exactly like the individuals you have put on at a salon... But it'll give you a cheap example!! Dooooooooo it!!!!!
