About Mrs. Cloud

I’ll Try Anything Once

August 24th, 2009 @ 12:26 pm by Mrs. Cloud

I have always been the type of gal to be willing to give the latest and greatest beauty products and treatments a whirl. And with our wedding being under three months away, I find myself really looking for any way to put my best self forward for the big day. All of those suggestions you all gave me after my makeup trial for the best facial cleansers? Yeah, I bought them all. So when I saw a friend recently and noticed her eyelashes were looking ridiculously gorgeous, I had to try whatever mascara she was using. But she wasn’t using mascara at all, she had eyelash extensions! I was immediately interested, and even more so when I found out they were waterproof, meaning no streaky black lines down my face at the altar. I’m sure my ugly cry face will be making an appearance, but I can at least try to keep the ugly to a minimum with makeup that stays put.

I booked an appointment with Kendrick of Pandora’s Lashes here in Richmond. She was super nice and explained everything that she was doing and even took a nice little before picture for me.

I think my lashes are pretty long to start with, but they get very light at the end, and they’re not very full. About an hour later I walked out looking like I have naturally long, thick, dark, lashes. I even watched “The Notebook” on DVD that night and after crying like a baby, they still looked perfect. I call that wedding cry-ready!

They are considered semi-permanent because they do fall out as your natural lashes do so a fill is required about every two weeks. I probably lost a few more than I should have in the first few days because I was a little obsessed and couldn’t keep my hands off of them. But I’ve learned to keep my fingers away, and I will still look pretty and full right up until my next appointment.

Are you trying any new beauty treatments just for your wedding?

*All images are from my camera taken by Kendrick, my lash master! And please ignore the fact that I was in desperate need of an eyebrow waxing… I promise this is the last of the close-up images of me sans makeup… yuck.

I have never heard of that - how cool is that?!!?
That’s why better than me trying to do anything myself the day of.

Was it expensive?
Painful?

Do they sew them in? Glue them? How much did it cost? (Can you tell I’m tempted?)

Oh wow! They look great! I also think it helps that you have beautifully large eyes! Really full lashes on eyes (like mine) look not so good.

These look beautiful and very natural.
And no fair dogging yourself for un-waxed eyebrows! No one cares because we probably all have them too! :)

Wow - they look amazing! Personally, I need some help in that department! Thanks for the new info! And if you don’t mind…how much do they cost? They look really nice, so I’m assuming pricey! I would love to find out they aren’t that bad! haha!

I’ve had lash extensions done a few times in the past and love them when they’re first done, but get sick of them over time because they are so delicate! You can’t put mascara on them and have to be super careful when washing your face/showering so you don’t knock them off with the water. And they can dry really tangled if you don’t brush them out and re-arrange them so they’re straight when you do get them wet. Depending where you get them done, they usually cost from about 40-60 dollars (cnd) to get them put on and then 20-30 dollars for a fill, which needs to be done every 1-3 weeks when you first get them done but can be anywhere from 4-8 weeks after you’ve been wearing them for a while.

LOVE. Can they do them on the bottom lashes to? That’s where I always have my issues. How much do they run?

Beautiful! I wish I would have tried fake lashes for our wedding. The waterproof mascara really drove me nuts.
