I met a woman in a hotel pool last Christmas who told me she wears the same pair of false strip lashes for a week without taking them off

@Whodunnit thats why shes swimming

@NinaTina you can’t get them wet! she just didn’t get her lashes wet 😵

@NinaTina To clean them? lol

@WaryWitchWandering I can’t find a mascara that doesn’t get all up under my eyes and look awful 😞

@itsok I’m so ghetto… I use “Great Lash” 🤣🤣🤣 it’s waterproof
Works well enough for me, and it doesn’t run or anything

@WaryWitchWandering ok but great lash has stood the test of time 😂 I swear I thought that was the only mascara as a kid. Even waterproofs get under my eyes because I use an oil based concealer, but I have to use that because I have under eye wrinkles 😵

@Selah she said she was just using duo

@itsok This reminds me of the gas stove on your camping trip. Important to get the right information for personal safety.
Looks like bacteria is the only health threat. I read that salon applied eyelashes can last 2 to 4 weeks.

@Pfuzylogic I want eyelash extensions. But you clean those, and you don’t apply products to them (like mascara)

@itsok I never appreciated the time that women put in to look absolutely perfect! Men must have it easy.

@SW-User week after week of eyelid misery, I’d have a panic attack on day 2 😂

@calicuz I know!

@OnePatheticClown NO!

@BrokenAbyss why this, of all things?

@itsok brains are weird

@BiasForAction I had therapy this evening. I didn’t think to mention eyelashes at all

@SW-User I just imagine the bacteria buildup, and I don’t know how she wasn’t getting styes, but the worst part is that taking off your lashes at the end of a day is liking taking off your bra at the end of the day. It sounds constantly uncomfortable. She had to sleep only on her back and couldn’t rub her eyes. It just sounds like misery to me 😩

@MartinTheFirst someone else said that. It would be a super weird thing to lie about

@itsok people are super weird and they exaggerate super often

@itsok I can’t wear adhesive or glue cause I am allergic. Imagine finding that out after getting lash extensions 🤣. That was me.

@iamonfire696 I want lash extensions but the upkeep and money seems like a lot, but I’m also scared about the glue. I’ve seen reactions people have had to them before. I had a reaction to an eyeliner I used a couple years ago and that was HORRIBLE for months. I know you can ask for glue for sensitive skin, but I’ve seen people still have reactions to that too

@itsok I got them on December 23. Christmas eve my eyes were itchy and Christmas morning I was removing them myself because my eyes were swollen.

I had asked the technician if the adhesive was anything like nail glue and she said no, that was a lie. I also asked for a test and she said it was fine because she had never seen anyone react. I got my money back even though she didn’t want to give it to me.

@NinaTina she was just using duo with ardell lashes

@itsok our sketch artist wants to know, is this your mystery woman?

@tenente leave Mariah Carey alone or she’s gonna sic Santa on you 😤
