Getting Eyelash Dip and Lash Extensions
This post brought to you by Summer of Groupon. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hello! I feel like today’s Groupon changed my life. Yes, that’s dramatic and yes this is a very “redhead problems” situation but even though I have long, thick eyelashes you can’t see them because they’re strawberry blonde.
Call the wah-bulance.
So, I always feel like an albino alligator without make up because my big ol’ eyes have no eyelash rim situation.
I’ve thought about getting my eyelashes and eyebrows dyed in the past so I wouldn’t have to deal with make up and could still look like a normal person with appropriate hair on their face. But, I never tried it because I thought the dye would run into my eyes and blind me.
Again, I’m dramatic.
Anyway. I got excited when I spotted a Groupon for Lash Dip and Lash Inserts.
Note: The deal I got is no longer available but you can get eyelash tinting here or eyelash extensions by searches ‘eyelashes’ on Groupon.
I’ve heard a lot of buzz about Eyelash Extensions – which are mostly silk or synthetic eyelashes glued to your existing lash. I couldn’t do that on a first try because my lashes are light and you would be able to see where they began and where the fake ones started. So the esthetician recommended a ‘Lash Dip’ to dye them black first and then added some extensions to the end for a cat eye kinda look.
The whole process took about and hour/hour and a half. And it was painless and relaxing.
The eyelash tint lasts until your eyelashes grow out. It’s considered semi-permanent. Eyelash extensions last about 2-3 weeks.
I was really happy with the after! I think I am going to love not having to deal with make-up, especially during the summer!!
I NEVER go to sleep with make-up on. Even if I stay out all night and roll myself in at 6am 3am – I take it off. I can’t sleep with it on…
So, it was weird when I stumbled in the bathroom to see myself and was kinda like, “Ah! Why is that girl wearing make up at 6am?! Oh, it’s me…”
(They look ridiculous in that picture and I love it.)
And in an effort to avoid wearing any kind of concealer or BB cream or whatev I got a Wine Detox Facial! At first I thought I was going to have to stop drinking wine for this detox – NO THANK YOU. But, then I learned the facial uses wine/apple based acids.
This facial was from Dawn’s Day Spa in Dana Point – only a mile or so from the beach! Love that. I am kinda in love with this whole area and wish I would have planned to just hang out here all day.
Since I just got my eyelashes done there was no steam/extractions (that’s the part that usually hurts during a facial). So, it was all relaxing and smelled so nice. Now I feel refreshed.
Between my new eyelashes and clean skin, I’m pretty excited to just have to slap on some sunblock and head out the door!
Question: How many days of the week do you wear make-up?
(Boys you can totally answer this too.)
