lashes

i do not like false eyelashes.  it's not that they don't look good, it's just that application is one massive headache, and i save my headaches for work.

i avoid lashes when i'm home in los angeles, but all that changes when my girlfriends decide to head to las vegas for the weekend.  false lashes in vegas are as ubiquitous as platform heels, and a girl just does not feel ready without them.  

this trip, i headed out with a pair of these, and am pretty pleased.  they're definitely lashes on steroids, but are a little more natural than the "full glam" sister.  plus, they come with a little tube of glue which is nice.  i like these little add-in's, and am always the sucker who picks up the massive bottle of lotion because it has a "free" mini bottle of shower gel attached.

all that being said, i still managed to pull out a chunk of my natural eyelashes during the weekend (silly me!).  gaps between your teeth are cute, gaps between your eyelashes are not.  luckily, my mom surprised me with tarte's multipleye lash enhancer upon my return.  this is a natural lash enhancer which promises to increase the length of my lashes by 152%.  i am holding them to this promise, and dutifully applying the clear liquid nightly.  i'll check back in with the progress.
