'I've saved £400 thanks to DIY lash extensions – I'll never go back to salon infills'

ok.co.uk:

I'll admit it, I'm a lash addict. I know there's a whole movement away from falsies at the moment – stick-on and salon ones – but I just prefer my look when I have a bit of definition around my eyes.

Being a natural blonde, I have barely-there lashes that only look decent when I apply around four coats of mascara. But, with flaking, smudging and having to apply it every morning, I prefer something a little more permanent when it comes to lashes.

It's for this exact reason that I became hooked on salon eyelash extensions. I had regular infills every 2-3 weeks and spent a minimum of 60 minutes each visit with my eyes shut, with travel time to the salon taking 20 minutes each way.

Plus, factoring in the cost of £50 per infill appointment, the salon visits became a drain on my time and my resources – despite how much I loved the results.
