Least Damage To Eyelashes

[Marijn]

I'd like to know what is the least damaging to eyelashes; eyelash extensions, eyelash perming, or wearing mascara daily? I have given my eyelashes a complete rest for two weeks but had enough now. :-)

Your eyelashes replace themselves every 6 weeks, so i wouldn't worry

I've just read the following about false eyelashes; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2061211/False-eyelashes--la-Cheryl-Cole-damage-real-ones.html
I just wondered if perming, or daily mascara was just as bad.

btw Thanks for your answer Pixie. Any ideas anyone?

I've never heard of anyone perming their eyelashes - why would you?

They are permed to curl. I'd expect mascara is the least damaging seeing as a massive percentage of women wear it without damaging effect to their lashes. By the way I have been using Rapidlash eyelash serum for the last year and the increase in my lash length is phenomenal.

Ooh, that sounds interesting Prudie, is it expensive?

I used Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara. Nice product, supposed to help your lashes grow and easy to remove (unlike a different revlon product I brought which sticks like superglue!)
I also use a smear of vaseline at night when I can be bothered as that helps them grow.
I was looking at my 4 year old grandson earlier this evening and he has long curled dark eyelashes to die for! Oh to have those naturally as a female adult.

Unfortunately it is, about £30 off Amazon but it lasts a couple of months. it's taken me from very ordinary lashes to looking like I've got extensions when I've got a good mascara on top. There's a cheaper one on there with good reviews but it stung my eyes.

It sounds good, thanks. How much does the Revlon Grow Luscious mascara cost, Grasscarp?

[grasscarp]

Last time I got it from ebay at around six pounds.

Thank you, that sounds good too :-)
