We have talked about eyelash extensions in another post of mine. It is a new and semi-permanent way to extend your eyelashes. Most of the people or celebrities may have their eyelashes extended in a professional salon. Of course, that costs quite an amount of money. If you wish to try this new technology at a low cost, you can probably find several brands of home kits available online.

Ardell DuraLash Eyelash Extension Kit
If you are not an eyelash extension professional, you can still get your eyelashes extended at home. You can try this Ardell DuraLash Eyelash Extension Kit which is designed for home use. It is a great product yet simple and inexpensive.

For a full set of this eyelash extension kit, you will find everything you need including easy-to-follow instructions, DuraLash Individual lashes, Adhesive, Remover and Tweezers for easy application. Compared to the eyelash extensions performed in a salon, this kit is much cheaper. It costs you only $15 – $20.

Beyond Beauty Lashes Premium Eyelash Extension Kit
Other than Ardell DuraLash, you may also find this Beyond Beauty Lashes Premium Eyelash Extension Kit available online. This extension kit costs much more than the Ardell DuraLash one at around $80 -$100. The kit includes:

Aluminum Made Beauty Case
Jar of J-Curl Black – (8mm)
Jar of J-Curl Black – (10mm)
Jar of J-Curl Black – (12mm)
Jar of J-Curl (Brown)
Jar of J-Curl (Purple)

It is a more comprehensive kit compared to the Ardell DuraLash. But, the customer feedback for this product is not really good. Users are saying that the instruction is not clear and some of the kit items are missing. Given the price difference, you may wish to try the Ardell DuraLash instead.

There are actually some more brands of eyelashes extension kits like Oasis and Xtended Beauty, available online. As these kits are for home use, their quality varies. You have to be reminded that, there is always risk doing your eyelash extension at home by yourself. Before you actually try the kit on your eyelashes, you may wish to try it on false eyelashes first!

To lengthen and thicken your eyelashes, you can have more choices than false eyelashes. Most commonly it is called eyelash extension. Eyelash extension is different from just applying fake eyelashes. It is using synthetic single fiber polyester thread-like materials to apply to your eyelashes to make them look longer and thicker.

Unlike false eyelashes, you can wear eyelashes extensions when you are sleeping or even swimming. You do not have to take it off every day during your makeup removal. Eyelash extensions look and feel very natural. You do not need to apply mascara on it. It can normally last for around 3 weeks to 3 months. Therefore, it requires touch up for the fallen ones. Many of the celebrities are wearing eyelashes extension, too.

As eyelash extension is not as simple as applying the false eyelashes. It is always better to do it in a salon. The salon has to be certified for eyelash extensions. The technicians should have been well trained. It costs you around $300 – $500 for the first time of eyelash extension and around $75 for touch up. A touch up is required around 2-4 weeks. The whole process takes an average of 2 hours. The beautician carefully applies the synthetic fibers with tweezers and a bonding agent. You just have to lie down comfortably and relaxingly.

Though there are many choices of eyelash extensions like the exaggerated one of red and green, most people prefer the black ones. The black ones look so natural and it is convenient and time saving for those who are busy working.
