4 Things I Learned From Getting Eyelash Extensions:

In a CoverGirl survey, it was revealed that 50 percent of women would choose mascara if they could only use one makeup product. But think of the possibilities if your lashes were already long, lush, and dark (concealer, for me, would be a close runner-up). I’m talking about eyelash extensions. I recently got them, after years of being met with, “Lash extensions. You must try them,” after complimenting a friend’s fluttery fringe. I went with Xtreme Lashes by Jo Mousselli, and they were applied by the talented and patient AnneMarie Lorenzini. It’s been about a week, so I feel that I’m well acquainted with them. They are not for the wash-and-go kind of gal, but they are amazing. And they've taught me things. Four things to be exact. Disclaimer: My before-and-after photos (above) are not extremely drastic, but that is the look I requested. If you’re looking for Kardashian-eque lashes, you can opt for longer extensions.
