Remember when I talked about wanting to get eyelash extensions? Well, I did it! I pretty much find any excuse to wear fake eyelashes. It’s New Year’s Eve? I think I need some lashes. What’s that you say, it’s Halloween and I’m dressing up as Sookie Stackhouse, who isn’t really known for her long eyelashes? Hmm…oh well, I think I might need some lashes, anyway. So my wedding day will be no different. Only this time, instead of stumbling through the application of the lashes, I will have them in place well in advance.

Here’s a breakdown of my experience (feel free to scroll down to the pictures, I know you want to):

The place I went was pretty pricey (typically $299 for a new set), BUT they were having a special of $99 for a new set, so I jumped on it. The whole thing was very relaxing, and the girl applying my eyelashes said that a lot of women fall asleep during the process. I didn’t fall asleep, but I could see how someone might. Here’s the bad part though-it took 2 HOURS. That’s a really long time to lie down while someone is messing with your eyes. Although, I don’t know if all places take 2 hours, but mine did. The good news is that when you go for fills it only takes an hour and the price is significantly reduced to $60. And even better news?

I LOVE them. I know some girls say they itch or they’re bothersome, and although I feel somewhat like Mr. Snuffleupagus, the main thing that’s distracting is that I feel totally vain because I can’t stop looking in the mirror at them.

So, are you ready to see them?
