done it before...mine looked natural and would be great for an event, but just for everyday, it's pretty expensive.

pros: makes your eyes look bigger, no need for mascara, great for special occasion, easy to get used to right after application

con: expensive to do, expensive for upkeep, god forbid if one of the eyelash falls into your eyes, can't put anything oil based (face wash, lotion, eye balm, eye makeup remover) on or too near eye area, or it'll ruin it, can't really put masacara on, b/c taking it off may remove some lashes, while growing out, they tend to droop the wrong way and look kind of weird (makes you want to pluck them off), also noticed some of my own lashes tend to fall out more, and you really cant stay in any steam room or sauna too long or they'll point in all directions.

I'd love to know, too, as I am seriously contemplating do it. I just don't want them to last 30 days or so. I'd like to know if they are still with me in a couple of months, or am I just asking for too much.

Okay, I had some applied to my eyelashes today. They were $130, and they look sooo natural. It took about 1 1/2 hours to apply them. I think they are worth the money. I hope they last a little while.

Yup, I think there are diff choices available. Like some are a bunch of hairs, while the more expensive packages offer applications of single eyelash hairs. I've had the single type, and it took almost 3 hours. It was great for a while, until some hairs started to fall out and my eyelashes got this "assymetric" look where some had longer while others (places where the false ones fell out) had shorter hairs.

Love getting this done! I'm planning on getting it done in a few weeks.
Defintitely worth it until it starts falling out and you have only two lashes left. LOL!

Love the look of it. It lasts a long time if you stay away from water.
But you can go back in for a "fill". HTH!

You have to have them filled in every 2 to 3 weeks. The also sell mascara just for the extreme eyelashes so when they fall out you can fill in the missing ones with the mascara. I think the longer you have them on the more they adhere to your own lashes. You can't use any oil based products around them or they slide off.

i did a whole research thing with before and after pics on my blog www.spa-view.com but I heard around the watercooler that there is someplace in the valley that is offering $85 for lash extensions, plus 2 refills. I have already looked for the place 2 times, but forgot the girl's name who told me about it - but her lashes look good!!!

still looking - I'll post the progress on my site!
