Longer is Better

...in lashes that is! I've never known if I have natural long eyelashes --since my Mom cut mine when I was a kid thinking it would grow longer afterwards. Well, it never did. So last Saturday, I decided to give eyelash extensions a try after reading a good review from kikayexchange. I had my lashes done at Lavish Lashes (Megamall). I was expecting to pay P800 but surprisingly it was cheaper than that--P550. It gets more expensive as you avail the more glamorous look. As for me, I'm super fine with the simplest one which is the Fancy look. I don't like to look like a drag queen anyway. I just wanted something natural.

Before

For 45 minutes I had to lie down and close my eyes. At first I panicked coz my eyes didn't want to stop moving. But after a few minutes I managed to relax--even sleep. They glued 45 silk lashes on each eye individually between my real ones. After blow drying it with a cool dryer, I was done. When I opened my eyes I now got the thickest, longest healthy looking lashes ever (in my life at least). I love it.

After

This was taken the next day-- on my way to a Christmas Party. I didn't even use an eyelash curler or mascara! The girl who did my lashes gave me instructions on how to take care of it. It really requires hardwork and patience. And it only lasts for 6 months. At least I get to cut my make-up time. Haha. Oh well, we have to sacrifice for beauty sometimes. Penitensya came early!:P
