I’ve long lusted for Texas-sized lashes. If I don’t have mascara on, you sort of wonder if I haven’t gotten enough sleep or if I’m sick. I don’t look awful, but I don’t look good. Over Halloween I got to experiment with fake lashes (the little three-lash pieces you glue on your own eye) and loved the results, but it’s too time-consuming to be practical for every day use.
Well, now I hear milk + honey is offering semi-permanent eyelash extensions for a super glam mascara look with beautiful, natural looking lashes. BettyLash has been offering the service for awhile too, but it’s expensive!
They say:
Lash extensions will stay on until your real lashes naturally shed and regrow. With quick, monthly touch ups not only will you have beautiful lashes 24/7, but you also won’t have to wear mascara again.
From both places, there are various levels that range from tiny to HUGE and GLAM. milk + honey breaks theirs down like this:
Lush: a practical, natural, every day look. The application will take about 2 hours. $250, which includes your first 30-minute touch up to be scheduled within 2 weeks of initial application.
Glama Rama: a dramatic, full, thick, run-way look. This application will take 2.5-3 hours $350.00, which includes your first 30 minute touch up to be scheduled within 2 weeks of initial application.
Touch-ups: $50 for 30 min. $100 for an hour. Touch-Ups are recommended every two to three weeks in order to maintain your lashes. Touch-Ups are also available in a series of 4 for a 10% discount.
Has anyone tried this? Is it worth it? Say I went with a $350 GLAMOUROUS application, then touch-ups every three weeks (poor!), in a year I would spend roughly $916.67. Are beautiful eyes all the time worth $916.67?
