Attention Ladies: It IS possible to rip out all of your eyelashes with an eyelash curler....

I was being rushed out the door last Friday after work by my ever-loving boyfriend (naturally - this is all his fault haha).

I told him I needed just one minute to change from my "work shoes" into my "sexy heels", spritz my hair, and give my lashes a quick curl. I got through the first two with extraordinary speed and grace. Now, understand that my apartment is without a nice vanity station at the moment, so I have been reduced to applying my makeup on a stool infront of a mirror by my bed. On this particular night, my cat was being "extra" cute, sleeping on my makeup stool, so, being the "mcguyver" that I am, I stacked up some throw pillows and sat on them upon which I grabbed my lash curler, clamped down on my lashes for a quick touchup, only to have the pillows topple over, forcing me to pull out all of my top lashes.

I repeat. ALL of my TOP lashes.

In a state of shock, I sat on the floor staring down at my lashes, unable to process the pain that I am sure I must have felt, but was unaware of, and thought to myself "Now What?".

After a 5 minutes of silence, I heard my boyfriend yelling to check up on me. I walked out into the main room clutching my lash curler, hand shaking, and said "We have a problem."

Any tips on some good fake lashes?? Google says they take 4-8 weeks to grow back HAHA!

I am VERY, repeat VERY pale and without mascara I look sickly. I recently adopted a wonderful son and in my rushing out the door one day - did all of my makeup and hair. Got in my car - dropped him off at daycare to have the daycare worker ask if I was ok. I was fine. Got back in my car, checked the mirror to realize I had NO MASCARA on. NONE. Almost went into a meeting that way. Thank goodness for good mascara.
