Eyelash extensions worth it?

I don't know but I was wondering what the pros and cons are for eyelash extensions for those of you who have actually had them? If you've had experience with them, can you please tell me if its worth it? thanks!:)

The only negative thing I've heard about them is that they can be damaging to your natural lashes.

Hi Dawn,
I've never had any eyelash extensions but my friend got some and it actually irritated her eye and the skin on the eyelid. I don't know if that was because of skin type or the quality though.
I don't know of any pros, except for getting gorgeous lashes.
Sorry that's all I can contribute.

Dr Oz said that they're not good.

Yes yes yes! Feel free to ask me anything as I work with eyelash extensions on the daily and I will gladly answer questions or concerns.
I'm going to recommend going with Xtreme Lashes, simply because I know it works. The glue is surgical glue, so it doesn't irritate your eyes, and the lashes are synthetic mink, which won't weigh down your lashes or damage them. The only damage you would do to your lashes is if the extensions were too thick and long for your natural eyelashes. (Ex. 17mm extra thick lashes on 8mm natural lashes) The extensions themselves you won't notice, because they're essentially weightless and have a natural curl that keeps them out of your eyes.

I get them everytime I go to a big event. I like having them except for the fact that pick on them a lot. that's the only reason I don't last with them. they do look realy nice and they don't irritate my eyes. ugh but taking them off is a pain in the behind. I always feel like my lashes look bare after I take them off. but that probably my mind from not having the bigger lashes.

Picking them off isn't good for your lashes! It can easily remove your natural lashes along with your extensions. I would reccomend getting them taken off where you got them, purchasing a lash glue remover or using olive/baby oil. Any oils will usually do the trick to unbind the glue and gently loosen the extension.

I didn't care for them, I wear a lot of eye shadows and liners so I have to wash my eye makeup off constantly. Eye makeup remover loosens the adhesive and lashes won't last as long. Great for people who don't want to wear much eye makeup. They also require fill ins every 4 weeks so they are a lot of upkeep.

@Brittany I know but its just a habit. once I start picking them I take them off with the lancome makeup remover.
