hashtag. fail.

You have heard the words before, “DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!” Or, “TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!” I cannot say those two statements enough

to my fellow bloggers who love long, luscious eyelashes. I have been watching ads all over social media about the new cure to spending tons of money on mascara and eyelash extensions. I have a rule about mascara; it is like my American Express card, I never leave home without it! I am a mascara whore. I have tried all the different ones that express how they will make my eyelashes long, lush, thick and dramatic. The more dramatic, the better. I even went as far as spending tons of money on eyelash extensions for about six months. (My Denver blog buddies, just send me a message, I will tell you who the best is. Only the best for me!) I thought all my eyelash dreams finally came true when I saw the frenzy for magnetic eyelashes on social media. WOW! That looks amazing, seems cheap and I can throw them on in a flash. Who could ask for anything more than to have the eyelashes you always dreamed of. I immediately went on Amazon and searched for the perfect set of magnetic eyelashes. I read each item offered in great detail. My husband says to always do your research, so I followed his advice. I must have spent hours trying to figure out the perfect pair. I ordered them (and an extra pair that was a different brand because they said I could get a discount) and I pressed confirm purchase. I went to the mirror to look at my eyelashes and made a big smile. How exciting! The perfect eyelashes any time I want! Oh! Did I mention they are reusable! Even more amazing. I waited several days, and there they were. Arrived on time. Okay, my kids come first, so I made dinner, did homework, fed dogs, cleaned up and several hours later finally got a moment to throw those new babies right on my eyes. Throw those babies right on my eyes? Throw those babies right on my eyes! WTF! MAJOR EPIC MAGNETIC EYELASH FAIL! Not only did I try to put them on for almost an hour, but I even had my son help me. Not happening. I call bullshit! Just look at the picture.
