The desire to draw attention to the eyelashes has been going strong since around 4000 BC, when ancient Egyptians used kohl to darken lashes and eye areas. Fast-forward thousands of years later, and the mascara industry brings in over an astonishing one billion dollars a year. That's not even including other eyelash-enhancing products such as extensions, false eyelashes, and now Latisse, an eyelash-growth drug approved by the FDA last December.
Would You Get Eyelash Extensions?
Last week I met a high-powered executive who told me that she can’t be bothered with creams, potions, and all the hype of makeup. She claims that her only indulgence is a weekly deep-conditioning treatment and that her total primping time is 15 minutes (shower included).

Product Review: Xtreme Lashes Eyelash Extensions
If you think false eyelashes are glamorous, wait until you see eyelash extensions. Just as their name implies, they're a lot like hair extensions—but for the eyes, natch. At first, I thought the concept was a little goofy, and that mascara was doing a perfectly good job of making me look doe-eyed and lovely.

Jordin Sparks proves that, in those immortal words of Annie's orphans, you're never fully dressed without a smile. Having long, lush false eyelashes and a bit of shimmery eye shadow doesn't hurt, either.

Bellissima! A Perm For Your Eyelashes
We've heard all about lash extensions for length, but eyelash perms are strictly for curl. The Japanese Eyelash Perm, offered at salons such as Takamichi Head to Toe Hair Salon in New York City, is becoming a popular way to have semi-permanent, flirty lashes.
The procedure can take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes, it costs around $80 and lasts between three to five weeks.
Product Review: Mirenesse Secret Weapon Mascara
Last week, I got a sample of Mirenesse Secret Weapon mascara in a goodie bag. Mirenesse is an Australian cosmetics line that can be difficult to track down in the States; like Imju Fiberwig, Secret Weapon coats lashes rather than painting them.
