While running some errands today, I noticed this display. Magnetic false eyelashes. This struck me as very odd, so I read the package. According to the directions, you put one layer above your upper eyelashes, and the other below them, creating a lash sandwich held together by magnets. Quick and easy, no messy adhesive, or so they say. I’m imagining the slight extra weight and having my upper lid feeling a bit out of balance.
Not for me, thank you. My eyebrows aren’t perfectly shaped, I don’t wear false eyelashes, magnetic or otherwise. I’m off-fleek, and happy to remain that way. I’m sure I can find a better use for thirty dollars

Wow! $30! Yeah, I’m with you. I’m more of a foodie anyways — I could eat out a couple times on $30. Opportunity cost.

Life is full of choices, and something tasty to eat sounds much more to my liking.

I hadn’t heard of those. Bizarre, and they seem like they would be uncomfortable. Also seems hard to believe they would stay in place all day.
The lashes in the bottom row of the package seem sort of creepy crawly.

They are so odd I almost want to try them, even though I don’t use such stuff

I’m trying to imagine actually getting these on your lashes evenly. And blinking and having them fall off.

A very odd concept

I did have eyebrows tattooed on. They had always been sparse, and chemo pretty much took care of what was there. It’s partly vanity, partly feeling good about oneself. I’ve considered false eyelashes, because chemo did its number there too – but you know what? Even mascara is getting to be a pain these days, so what the heck. I am what I am.

yes, I can see doing the tattoo for that reason, but like you, the maintenance of other stuff becomes tiresome. Yes, this is just how I look.

I think these are very trendy right now. I see lots of young women wearing what have to be false eyelashes–they are so long it’s positively distracting!

Yes, its a big deal, apparently. Not only false eyelashes, but eyelash extensions. Not appealing to me, and I agree it can be very distracting to have such an exaggerated feature. Useful if one is on stage, but otherwise downright odd, in my opinion.

My experience with the opposite sex is that half the stuff women do to themselves has no effect on men at all. Maybe the other half has a big effect, I don’t know. It’s not really something I’ve ever understood.

I’ve never quite understood it, either.

Apparently, it works. I’m unduly influenced by outward appearances, too. Maybe it’s beyond thought.

There is a very strong reflexive/instinctual response to appearance (within reason, I doubt false eyelashes are make or break). Keeps the species around.

I’ve recently learned that a couple of women I’ve known for years, get monthly eyelash treatments. It is essentially a hair weave for your eyelashes. I can’t imagine spending the time or money for something like that.

I can’t either. I have a client whose sister does it every two weeks–beyond me.

My daughter tried these magnetic eyelashes. They were essentially a no go. LOL
