So Everything I've read, and all of the advice I've been given made me feel confident enough to TRY the eyelash extensions. I had a friend's wedding to attend and thought I'd do a trial run for her wedding to see how they looked, how long they would last etc. I did my research and found a spa in Toronto that was well known for their amazing lash transformations and had them done there.All I can say is thank the Gods that I did a trial run!!!I am not impressed at all.It will be two weeks this coming Saturday that I will have had them on, and I can't wait for them to all fall out.I have pretty nice eyelashes naturally, but they are fair. And what I was reading about the extensions, I was expecting to not have to wear mascara, and that I'd have these movie star eyelashes.. What I got? long, thin eyelashes.. and I could see the adhesive, looked like clumps of mascara in some spots. The look wasn't horrible, but it was far from movie star, and definately didn't eliminate the need for mascara. I later read that if you have fair lashes it is suggested that you get eyelash tinting done prior to the extension procedure.The plastic (or whatever material they are) started poking back at the base of my eyelid.. very irritating to say the least. So I tried to take off the fake lashes that were causing irritation... they were attached to strongly that I ended up accidentally pulling out a big section of my lashes. As the glue started to loosen, or as my lashes continued to grow maybe, the little bonded clump started to move up the eyelash. So at this point I feel like I have these little plastic things in my lashed that drive me crazy! And they are still stuck like cement only higher up from the root.I read that if I use waterproof mascara it will break the bond, and if I apply olive oil this will break the bond as well. Yeah, they are mostly still all stuck on there. I've been able to remove some more, but not without the sacrifice of more real lashes.I am just so thankful that I tried this now, and that I still have more than 2 months to go until the big day. It takes about 2 months for your real lashes to grow back after being pulled out... I will enlist the help of some eyelash growth treatments to see if I can speed up the rejuvenation process...So... in my experience... NOT worth it to get eyelash extensions! You can achieve a way better look for movie star lashes with good old mascara and eyeliner. Not worth the stress, not worth the money (it cost me $115 CAD) not worth the discomfort.Although everyone has different experinces, I won't be doing this again.
