Towards the end of last year I got some Permanent Lash Extensions. Years ago I had some Lash Extensions and had a pretty hard time with them. The base (I'm not sure if this is the correct term but I'm meaning the end that's actually glued to your lash) came loose after a matter of days and my eyes because pretty irritated as they kept scratching my eyes. When I inquired as to how much it would cost to have them removed, it was basically the same cost as having them put on so I took matters into my own eyes and slowly and painfully pulled them all off. My lashes weren't as bad as I had expected but were definitely not in good shape. However I had a friend who had some lash extensions applied that looked so good I decided to try it again! I have quite long, very dark eyelashes to begin with, I just have very little of them so it doesn't create any impact without mascara. I decided to get a half set which I wanted more to help create a curled effect (I have very straight lashes that don't curl at the best of times) and help to make them look a little fuller as well. The results looked amazing! I felt like it changed the shape of my eyes completely and they really helped with my straight lashes. The thing with lash extensions is that you have to be really careful what you use around them and by this I mean make up removers and products. My everyday eye make up consists of winged eyeliner and to remove this you need a pretty good make up remover. You also can't scrub or be too rough around them so this requires a long slow process of gently wiping at the eyeliner to remove it. The other thing is that applying eyeliner in the first place is a mission. The lashes create a different line along the lash that makes it hard to get a straight line. If you don't wear too much make up then I would say these would be a great idea for you. But if your like me and like to play with make up then maybe not so much. The other thing I found was that my eye's started to become irritated after about a week, they were just red and itchy and not being able to touch this was hard work. I ended up, once again (after not being able to get a removal treatment), removing them myself but this time I used coconut oil and make up remover pads and they slid off pretty easily. All in all I just don't think lash extensions are for me. Although they look beautiful and saved a little time in the morning I just don't think, for me, they are worth the hassle or what happens to my eyes as a result. Nicole xx

I had lash extensions and they looked amazing but I just found them so irritating. I get my lashes tinted instead, and that makes them look fuller and darker.
