The Long Lashes League
Well, well, well. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.
I have stubby, little eyelashes. That’s a fact. I’m not complaining, just explaining.
Seems like all the ladies like long eye lashes. I do. Even if I know the lashes are fake, a woman just looks beautiful to me if they have noticeably long lashes.
I have tried my hand at applying mascara and the fibers. It works okay, but it’s kinda flaky.
Missy, my youngest, bought me those fake ones they apply one by one. The fake ones came off and some of my real ones fell out in less than two weeks. Oh well, it’s the thought that counts.
I had some regular fake lashes, but I’m allergic to the glue. And glue in my hands is sort of like paint in my hands. Not wise.
Recently, I bought some magnetic eyelashes. They were the most subtle ones on the display. I brought them home and tried my best to get them on straight. I wish I had taken a picture of that! Mercy! It was a Lucille Ball moment for sure!
I started to throw them out but my oldest, Stephanie, suggested getting magnetic eyeliner and just using one set of lashes atop my own.
Well, I did.
My first experiment with the liner showed a different technique is needed.
By all accounts, my eyelids are the most wrinkly places on my face. I guess my fat fills in the other wrinkles. I ended up with the liner looking like chicken scratches across the edge of my lashes. I thought, ‘Why not continue, just to experiment?’ Which I did.
Other than the obvious misplaced liner, the lashes went on easily and in the right position. Since I wasn’t going anywhere special, I took the lashes off. The liner was scraped off with half a bottle of makeup remover. (That was an exaggeration, but it was work.)
I decided that I should make one of those youboob videos. I watched several lovely ladies before I bought the lashes in the first place. I would certainly be able to show everyone a new and exciting application technique!
My next brilliant moment will come another day. I decided that since everyone will know that I am wearing fake eyelashes, I may as well have myself some fun!
Everyone in my life knows I love me some glitter! I wear glittery eye shadow and eyeliner. If anyone says anything about my stylistic choices, I just say my fairy parts are leaking. Glitter makes me happy. Period.
SOOOOOO – It is near Halloween. All the offbeat makeup and other paraphernalia are readily available at my local style headquarters – Walmart! I am going to purchase the gaudiest eyelashes available and wear them whenever I want!
You know how there is a Red Hats Society that has clubs all over the United States? I just may start a new group. I’ll call it the Glittery Long Lashes League!
Sounds like fun to me!
Blessings

Though I’m not teasing about the stuff above and my propensity for wearing makeup that makes my daughters cringe, I am very serious about the following.
Mt 6:22 says the eyes are the lamp of the body. If my eyes are healthy, my whole body is full of light.
When I fill my sight with God’s Truth, His Spirit blesses my whole being with wisdom, discernment, and discretion. Sounds like some pretty attractive makeup to me! How ‘bout it?
