The newest rage ... Eyelash Parties.
A trained technician comes to your home to do derma techniques for eyebrows, eyeliner (upper and lower), Lip Liner and filler or individual applied false eyelashes. My daughter Diane posted a party and began making appointments. I always want to support my girls and expected something like a jewelry party with lots of food and fellowship. I considered having lip liner done, but I am a procrastinator and did not make a prompt appointment. Before I knew it, she'd posted that all times were full! I apologized that I didn't manage to make an appointment, but she told me to come on, I could watch, and maybe the technician could work me in.
Diane's 99-year-old grandmother-in-law was the first appointment. She had her brows done and Diane posted a picture of her on Facebook. I thought that's cool! Must not be too bad.
I am a people person, so I went over and loved meeting and visiting with new people, eating and drinking, and I decided to watch the procedure. I watched as the technician used her little tool and applied brown antiseptic on the brow line. It looked simple enough. I continued to watch and realized there was some Blood trickling down from the brow she was doing. Now, I faint at the sign of blood, and you do not want me around in a blood-involved event! I guess my eyes became enlarged and Diane said, "Uh, oh, we just lost my mother." I was 60 years old before getting my ears pierced. After the first ear, the pain was so severe, I considered not following through with the other ear!
I had been reading love letters my husband had written me in 1973 when I told him I might faint getting a blood test for our marriage license and he would have to hold my hand.
Yep, not happening!
The brows look beautiful, but even with three Mimosas and two Xanax, I don't think I could have it done! I know the old saying 'no pain, no gain' but I am allergic to pain, so I opted out. For now, I will have to settle for old-fashioned eyeliner and eyebrow pencils for my color.
For now, I will leave it to the girls who put their big panties on!
