Hello, just wondering if anyone has any experience of them? Had mine done last week and whilst I think they look fab - and I haven't even worn any make up since (major admission!) i'm not sure long term if its worth keeping having them done. Its £28 every 4 weeks, and I don't know if there is an issue with long term use of them - anyone had any experience. I think once they fall off my eyes might feel naked though....

I don't think there are any long term problems - they are only attached by glue which gradually dissolves - but yes, I think it is worth it.
I haven't had mine done for a while because it takes so long and I haven't had time but they look fab and I am happy to spend that.
It depends whether the money is a lot to you or not I suppose.

I can justify the money (!) not buying mascara or getting my lashes tinted, but just hoping that they last well enough between 4 weekly sessions and worry that i'll end up with bald eyes from becoming overly addicted! They just make my face look so much brighter, so will definitely miss them when they're gone!

As long as you don't start puliing them off they shouldn't affect your natural lashes.

Can I ask how much they were initially, jenster? I take it it's £28 for the follow up sessions. Excuse my ignorance but I am an eyelash novice.

Asked at Shavata last time I was having eyebrows done and it was £110. I winced. And then £45 every three weeks. More wincing.

I had mine done locally, at a Lash specialist who works from home - £60 for first session and £28 follow up if booked in in 4 weeks. I can definitely come up with lots of justification for those prices!
