smokingbootNo. Enough.
It had to be called.
My utterly beautiful and classy sister-in-law-to-be recommended eyelash extensions for a fuller softer glamourous flutter. She warned me that they are addictive...so I booked an appointment at Atherton Cox for this morning. I have now cancelled it.
The reason eyelash extensions are addictive is cos they look very glam, but fall out within two weeks to four weeks. There is a small chance they will take your eyelashes with them, resulting in baldy-eye. When they start to fall out they look a bit scraggy, so you need infills every three weeks, which eventually does lead to baldy-eye. You mustn't use any kind of oil based product anywhere near them, should comb them delicately each morning and night with an eyelash comb taking care not to tug them out, and must endeavour not to sleep with your face in your pillow in case you bend them backwards and they break off.
This luxurious experience starts at £150. Now admittedly, I was going to one of the top, if not the top, place for eyelash extensions in town, I get that. But still. And it's not as though my own eyelashes are wanting - they're OK, just pale. These will make them look better but fall out faster. Then I'll need more. No, I am just being a fool! Of course I want to look good for my wedding, but the madness stops here!
