Miss Marple Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Any experience with these? I read that they are supposed to last about 4 weeks, but one site said a few days at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 My friends that have done them get them retouched every two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSNative Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Be very careful who you go to. The place needs to be scrupulously clean. Seriously get lots of referrals and be careful. Also talk to them about how to care for your lashes. Plan on 2-4 week touch ups depending on what you get. Think of them as gel tips for your nails. They need to be maintained to look good. Some say 6 weeks but they just look weird after about 2-4 weeks. Also some require you to add oil or do other nightly maintenance and will restrict some of your makeup choices. Once you find a good lash person, follow their directions to a t. I love the look of them. I hate the maintenance and expense.

Katy Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I think how long they last has a great deal to do with how oily your lids are, how much you touch your lashes, and if you have weak/blonde lashes. I have oily lids and blonde lashes and they fall out quickly for me. I don't think it's worth it, but I'm sure they're great for a lot of people. Taking the 3 minutes to apply strip lashes, in the event I care that much about my appearance, is much more predictably pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 hmm...sounds like I might pass on them. I don't do well with things that require maintenance that often lol. My dh got me a spa gift card for Valentines Day and i'm just getting around to using it. That was one of the things they offered that sounded intriguing. Thanks for the feedback.

shawthorne44 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 One nice thing about them is that they fall out like your real lashes. So, you never go from lots of lashes, to natural lashes overnight. I really liked them. DH preferred me without the lashes. They looked great so I think he wanted to save money. Which I am OK with. I'd probably do them again if I wanted to look super nice for something big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
