Beauty Boo-Boo: Sticker Eyelashes



There was a time when I was super obsessed with fake eyelashes.  I had a huge crush on a guy in my public speaking class in college and I used to wake up my roomie, Caitlin, to apply full-on fake lashes before my 8am class (she was way better at it than I was).  Looking back, I know I looked ridiculous.  Now, I only wear faux lashes for super special occasions, and even then, I only use a couple individual ones on the outer half of my lash line.

I was shocked and horrified when I saw these Paperself Eyelashes on Sephora's site.  I can see wearing these maybe for Halloween...but even for the fanciest nights out, there is no way that this look is acceptable.  The description even states that you can use them to "accentuate the corners of your eyes for a subtle daytime look".

WHAT?!! SUBTLE??? Are you kidding me?!

If I ever saw anyone wearing these during the day (or at night for that matter), I'd be forced to either issue them a fashion citation or punch them in the face.  The black eye they would end up with would be more acceptable than the "lashes".

If you feel like looking like an idiot (too harsh?), you can buy the lashes at Sephora. Each set is about $20.
