This afternoon, i bidded goodbye to my short-lived eyelash extensions =( So much for causing jie to pay over 100bucks for it and it only lasted for 1 week (and one day). Sigh.
I've read/heard so many people rave about getting eyelash extensions but how come no one complains about its woes?!!!?!?!
Ok, to be fair, i love the fact that i wake up every morning, looking fabulous without makeup. I even enjoyed admiring my eyes in front of the mirror while brushing my teeth too in the wee hours of the morning on schooldays too! LOL. And the amount of time i saved from drawing eyeliner/brushing my lashes with mascara and what not is...pretty unbelievable. No more pessimistic "i look damn cui in school sans makeup" thoughts!
However...the route to vanity comes with a price of course.
(1) Normally, I slp with a small pillow on my eyes but with the eyelash extension, i couldnt do that for fear that it might cause the lashes to come off. As a result, i couldnt slp well for the first few days =(
(2) As the lashes are being glued onto my real lashes lash-by-lash, when the root of the falsies came off, some parts of the ends might still be glued to my real lashes. Hence, in an attempt to pull out the loose strands, i realised i have to keep tugging my eyelids and real lashes and it can get quite painful =(
Dun pull out = Dangling falsies
Pull out = Painful eyelids
DILEMMA!!
(3) The fake falsies will drop off over time and i have absolutely no control over which strand will starting dropping off first. In the end, my left eye had this small little gap in the middle of my eye where a clump of lashes dropped while my right eye had a gap at the end of my eyelids. You can imagine how silly i looked -__-"
(4) Due to all the tugging and pulling, i lost some (precious) eyelashes. BIG SIGH.
All in all, it's an interesting experience even though i concluded eyelash extension is Trouble with a capital T. Jie's not experiencing all these mentioned above as bad as i did so perhaps the main problem lies with me? Oh wells.
