I Feel Like Lashing Out Today

I started my beauty career 8 years ago working for a company that made, among other things, false eyelashes. And one thing I learned while I was there was this: Almost all eyelashes are made by the same company -- Royal Korindah -- then purchased by beauty companies that stamp their name on them. So don't feel like you have to spend $100 on a good pair of fantasy lashes (unless, of course, you really want to.) The real secret is in the lash glue. (Ardell DUO is the bomb and will only set you back $5. Ardell also has their own factory where they make human hair eyelashes. Don't worry, it's from sterilized donated hair.)

I've always been fascinated by falsies. Never been brave enough to try them, though.

Oh what a wonderful selection. I have never seen anything like these in stores here.

These are amazing! I went through a period where I would wear false eyelashes instead of mascara -- yeah, I don't know either.

Too bad that some of these elaborate ones would just smack right into my glasses...

That pic of the girl with the down-to-there eyelashes makes my stomach turn. Effective image, huh? Yikes.

Whoah! I never knew there were that many types of false eyelashes either! But great tip...when I finally try a pair I will use the glue you recommended.

I don't believe I saw a whip lash in the collection!

The 'down-to-there' lashes must be for the fashion minded who dare to walk where angels fear to tread... feeling their way...step by step.

One has to be careful that one does not leave a false impression!
