real lash extenders

after four insanely painful allergic reactions to my tranny lash extensions (did any of you watch kristin chenoweth's nutty/drunk david letterman eyelash extension interview?!?)

and losing my expendable income, 

i went back to my natural lash...

after almost nine months of luscious peeps, 

i had little to NO lashes left of my own. 

i'm seriously not exaggerating that i had giant chunks of lash missing, maybe 4 skinny little scraggely lashes, and the rest had been so damaged that the lashes were the consistency of duck fuzz. 

i cried over it. 

so i painted my lips red (for everything) to distract from my sad lashies (see above pic)

got back onto li lash which is cheaper, better, easier than latisse

and  tried my new favorite mascara, they're real! from benefit. 

it's better than all of the dior mascaras.

i've converted all of my sisters.

though madison says i'm an absolute fool and we all need to try cle de peau .

i believe that she is the authority on all things beauty but i'm reticent to blow $50 on a mascara.... that's the whole reason i got rid of lash extensions...

and just a few weeks later, my lashes look amazeballs.  

thick, dark, lush & at least my eyes no longer look like a stripper... can't say much about the rest of me....
