Yeah, it is like getting fake nails, you have to keep up with it and it is pretty expensive. They looked great on me for about 3 days then I had to take them off. There was no way that I could keep up with the expense. Fake nails, fake hair, and fake eyelashes can really take a bite off your budget, but it was fun.

They say the lash extensions last a month, but it depends on: how good a job the beautician does, quality of product, your sleeping habits, your beauty/shower routine. I'm a big baby and wriggled the whole time they were being put on - the glue stinks. I'm a side sleeper and lashes get mooshed into the pillow. I shower daily and in the summer 2x. Yeh, false lashes lasted ME less than a week. Not a great $75 investment A better choice would be individual lashes for special occasions - only about $35 where I live.

My initial ones were about $250 and the technician said I should get a "fill" once every three weeks for about $75.

All that I have to add to what's been said is that oils will also affect the life of your eyelashes. If you use any facial products with oils then it will make them last much less.
I agree with whoever said that buying lashes to wear when needed is a much better option. Sephora offers a class where they teach you how to apply them. The class is free but you have to buy the lashes. They will also cut the lashes to fit your eyes.

HonnyBrown - Well, I was supposed to daintily pat my face clean, but I'm kind of a mess. I like my potions, scrubbing brush, etc... I sweat, rub my face, etc. Now I only do the individual lashes - not the FULL SET, and only for "fancy".

Plain gal here. What is the appeal of fake, false, extended, selected, or other additional eyelashes? I have a reason for asking, and I can understand if someone is waiting for eyelashes to grow back or they were not born with eyelashes and want some. I also understand if these will add a littte 'oomph' around the eyes for a photograph.

Other than for photographs, enhancing your lashes makes your eyes look bigger which in turn can make you appear younger and/or more awake. With lash extensions, you can wake up looking like your lashes are already curled & mascara'd.
