My naked lashes \ud83d\ude42 <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you know me at all<\/em>, then you know that I’m an Asian woman. What does that mean? I have the dreaded, short, straight, pointing-down lashes. Thankfully they are pretty strong and relatively long (I condition them with castor oil). If I use an eyelash curler and waterproof mascara, I can keep them curled for most of the day. Despite this “success”, I was tired of trying to find my holy grail mascara that would not leave my lashes unhealthy and would give me those long, voluminous lashes so many others have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After contemplating for almost an entire year and watching hundreds<\/em> of YouTube videos, I decided to take the plunge and try lash extensions. I figured I’ll be stuck at home for at least the next two weeks anyways, so if they look terrible I can just wait for my lashes to go through their natural cycles and fall out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before you immediately decide to do this be aware this is a time and financial commitment. I have to adhere to my monthly budget and stick to my schedule or else they’ll start looking sparse and gross. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went in for my classic set and it took almost two hours. My lash tech (I love<\/em> her) placed an individual lash on each of my own eyelashes. We discussed the curl (I got a D curl), length (I did 11 mm), and overall style (I went with an open eye). I laid on the table and definitely dozed off a few times. It was a super relaxing experience. The classic lashes ended up looking pretty natural and when I go for my refill, I’ll be trying for a more voluminous look (while making sure my lashes stay healthy and strong). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am officially hooked. I love not needing to wear eyeliner or mascara anymore. I was already a pretty “natural” girl when it came to makeup and this will be a huge timesaver. I will try and take note of the retention and how my lashes look when it’s time for a fill-in. I’ll also be vlogging about it so if you want to keep updated, head over to my YouTube channel! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are needing a little extra something for your lashes, consider trying extensions. Just know the commitment involved. I previously tried a lash lift and tint and it left my lashes feeling a little brittle and thin. Assuming the extensions are applied properly<\/strong><\/em> your natural lashes should remain healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t feel like I need the extensions to be beautiful, but sometimes having a daily timesaver that keeps your lashes looking bomb 24\/7 is what you need in life \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
