A couple of weeks ago,
I went to a local salon, and got some cluster lashes. I have always
wanted to try the individual lash extensions, but these are a little
more pricey, and so I thought I would try out cluster lashes first.
Never again...
The process took around
20 mins and cost only £10. The therapist told me that some people
can make these last for up to two weeks, in what world?! The
application was fine; she applied the cluster lashes, and after each
was was applied, I was told to open my eyes, to stop it from sticking
to the bottom of my eyelid. The glue fumes did sting my eyes a bit
and made them water, but the therapist reassured me this was normal.
They looked ok.... not
amazing. The same as if I had applied them myself, except they were
stuck like super glue.
'Be careful when
showering, as the steam can loosen the lashes!' Yup...Wise words. As
soon as I got home, I jumped in the shower, begging the steam would
loosen them away. It didn't. Instead I used a pair of tweezers, and
pulled out the ones closest to my inner corner. Not my best idea. I
did end up ripping a few of my natural lashes out, but not enough to
make me worry.

This made them slightly
more bearable. I just found them so irritating! Every time I blinked
I could feel them. The rest lasted around a week,
with me filling in my other lashes with a bit of mascara to hide the
gaps...
After the week had past
I desperately wanted them all off, so with a bit of research, I found
that leaving your head over a bowl of boiling water, loosened them.
Then used a bit of olive oil to remove the rest. Ahhhhhhhh relief!
After this episode,
even though I think the individual lashes would be better, it is a
definite no no for me!
