My Lash Love Affair: The Pros and Cons of Eyelash Extensions

As a pampering present to myself, I recently got eyelash extensions! Once my first set were up (or off), I quickly got a refill and it became a part of my beauty repertoire. I was instantly hooked! Here are some of the reasons why I loved my lash extensions, but now, I’m asking for a little bit of a break.

All Day Glamour 

When you have eyelash extensions, your eyes always look fabulous! You wake up, do groceries, go to the gym, pick up the kids, and your lashes will still look amazing. It’s one less step while you’re applying makeup and who doesn’t want a quicker makeup routine?

CON – For those days when you want a more laid back look, having longer lashes doesn’t work. Sometimes, you really do want the no makeup look.

No Running 

With eyelash extensions, you do not need to worry about your mascara running. Waterproof is not an issue in this case because your lashes will look wonderful wet or dry!

CON – If and when you do get them wet, it is difficult to rub your eyes without having some of them fall out.

Save Money

You don’t have to buy mascara! Mascara is expensive, especially if you are trying to achieve the falsie look. Whether you buy drugstore or higher-end mascara, beauty products of all kinds are expensive. Having lash extensions makes your eyes look luxurious with little to no make up.
