Lash extensions at home

So I decided to try to put my own eyelash extensions on. Whoa, it was difficult. But I was using regular tweezers. I was told after the fact to try using pointed tweezers! The pointed tweezer i had was not as comfortable as my slanted tweezers. 

Tip- This is a pretty long process so i suggest having tweezers that are comfortable and does not cause a lot of resistance.

It took me about 2 hours. But once I got the hang of it, it went faster. I think my first eye took an hour and a half. The second eye half hour. I am also super OCD. So it took a little more time.  

-Tip-Each eye i used two rows of lashes. The first time i did my lashes i did one eye at at a time, i would suggest going back and forth because my eyes was not semetrical. 

Here is my results! Looks pretty good. i was told by a friend that they last about 2 weeks. I didnt get that far, i maybe got 4 days out of them.

here is the first day.

3days later 

Bought from Longs drugs (owned by cvs)

I got, short and long lashes, and lastly the glue. All was 3.69 each. Way cheaper then getting them done let's see if they last 

Here is my pros and cons of this product.... 

Pros

--------

-Cheaper than regular extensions 

-Able to touch up any time you want. 

-I think Falsies are faster to put on, even if you are just touching up.

-Wake up looking fabulous. (Maybe) 

Cons

--------

-You pretty much have to make your lashes very full, because it is multi-stranded so if one falls out it can be noticeable. 

-It takes time to do it yourself, I get easily frustrated. So I have an alcoholic beverage while doing this to relax me. 

-I sometimes sleep crazy. And on those nights I wake up with empty spots. And have to touch them up. 

- I hear it's not good to go get them fully submerged. Like the other eyelash extensions. Because these are not mink so they don't have the same quality. 

-I go to the gym, and enjoy the sauna, I don't think it's meant for this.

Tips. 

- Do not place them on skin. Put close to roots. It irritated my skin a little. (I was scared I was gonna get a sty, I didn't but I could have) 

- Be careful how you place them, I had one placed on another eyelash above and the extension was pulling my eyelash causing it to be irritated. 

-It's a bitch to remove even with the remover.

Verdict

Basically if you do not have patience do not attempt! 

It's pretty good product because it's cheap. It does look nice. But i think it's more for women who is not very active, someone who just stays indoors and does not sweat or do too much. I like to go to the beach, sauna, and go to places with my Step kids like the park. Those kind of activities lessens the length of use of them. Also I think sleeping on back is probably needed if you want them to last longer.

If you want an easy route, I would suggest going to a salon because the quality is much better, and you do not have to worry as much as these eyelashes. There are salons who do eyelash extensions for a cheaper route. If you are in Oahu, i know a girl who does it really cheap comment me and i will give you her info!
