How many years have you had eyelash extensions?
More than eight years

How often do you get them filled?

Every three to four weeks

What makes them worth it to you, time-wise, financially, and just in general?

They are so worth it to me because they look amazing all the time. You can just put on lip gloss and go if that's all you want or have the time to do.

How has having eyelash extensions changed you (confidence, beauty routine, etc.)?

I feel like I look pretty all the time. They just open up your whole face; you smile with your eyes too, not just your mouth. I get so many compliments from people who say that my lashes are so beautiful, and they don't even know that they are extensions until I tell them. 

What's your favorite part about them?

They are simple and easy. So pretty and look so natural, and you cannot see any clumps of glue or anything like that. 

Have they changed your natural lashes? Have they had any negative impacts on your natural lashes, their growth pattern, etc.?

No. I think people always say that their lashes were so thin and short after they took them off, implying that the lash extensions did something to change their own lashes, but if you have been wearing extensions for some time, you may tend to think that your own natural lashes were that amazing, long, and thick when in fact they did not change and are still the same as before.

Forever might be a strong word, but do you plan to have them indefinitely?

Oh yes!!! I love them!

Do you recommend lashes to any beginners thinking about trying them?

Yes, I recommend going to a NovaLash-certified lash artist. Even if you don't plan on keeping them, giving them a try just may make you change your mind.
