EyeLash extensions, are they really worth the hassel?!

As you know, I have been on a fabulous holiday to Egypt. It was lovely, however, my eyelashes were not!

I thought I would invest in some eyelash extensions to save wearing mascara through the day and still look glam-ish. I have got them on at beauty salons a few times before and they have been great, stayed on for about 3 weeks, pretty good I must say . . . especially for £20.

But me being me, I thought I would go for the cheaper option (I am a student after all) and got a friend of a friends mam to put them on for a measley £10!

At first they were gorgeous, looked a bit like spiders legs, but all in all, gorgeous! I was happy with my bargain.

Then I went on holiday and that is where they ended.

Swimming pools, suncreams, sunglasses, spa treatments and snorkelling in the sea did not have a good affect on my ‘Katie Price’  like lashes. I was losing an individual lash,  from only one eye everyday, strange I know….

They looked totally odd, one eye lovely full of lashes and one with only 2 lashes on. I was getting sick of them and my boyfriend was well and truely getting sick of them, but I wasn’t expecting what was coming next. . . he yanked the only 2 lashes I had left on my left eye (only trying to fix them…apparently!) I was furious and looked like some, half made-up drag queen.

 I was forced to pull them all off and God did it hurt!

 

It made me think… were they really worth the ‘fake look’ ?
