Saturday night I went to my annual work related semi-formal to formal (because they can't decide on a solid dress code and because I work with dudes who don't want to wear tuxes) fancy event.
It was fun as usual. I busted out my patented dance moves like the matrix and rapped to Salt N Pepa. How much better of a time could I really have? During an Enrique Iglesias song we all, literally, pretended we were at Karma at the Jersey Shore and did a bunch of fist pumping. I am so stupid.
Anyway, I made a lot of good drinking decisions, such as not texting the California trainee from work and not drinking to excess.
The only problem of the night was the new set of fake eyelashes I got. I needed some more glue and just figured I'd buy a new pair. I spent about 30 minutes trying to get the right one on my eye and ended up putting about 10 lbs of glue on my right eye. So, the eyelash stayed on. My old eyelash glue came off really easy with makeup remover. This new stuff, not so much. I realized this when I started pulling them off and it was really painful. I read the instructions and they said to use baby oil to remove the eyelashes. I don't have baby oil and it was 3 in the morning so going to get baby oil was sorta not an option. I went to the kitchen and used extra virgin olive oil. It didn't work. I just pulled them off and I went to bed.
The next morning I get up and realize that my actual eyelashes are glued to each other. And I ripped the skin off my lids where these lashes were attached. I decided to bring out the big guns and try nail polish remover. Nail polish remover and ripped off skin and eyeballs aren't really a good combo. It hurt. It also didn't work. So, I tried the make up remover again. No go. Then I got out the EVOO. It worked a little bit and made my acetone ripped skin feel a lot better and made my lashes really shiny but wasn't a major solution. Finally I gave up.
So, I'm writing this on Sunday with some of my eyelashes glued in clumps. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to wait until this stuff falls off by itself. I really have no idea what else to do.

oh my gosh I am in a giggle convulsion at my desk and my coworkers probably wonder what is wrong with me. you are hilarious. I think you need your own reality show
somehow i am not surprised by this story!
I am scared of glue near my eyes. I am also scared of everything you tried to remove said glue getting in my eyes. Did you photo the clumpy eye? I want to see it!!
Holy crap. That is something that would happen to me. Look at the bright side, at least you didn't pull your real eyelashes out when you took the others off.
Nail polish remover by your eyes???? AH! That is scary.
Holy crap! You are seriously nuts.
OMG, you are too funny
Hilarious. But only because I'm hoping your eye is ok!
I got the glue in my eye the last time I tried to wear them.....I've been over them ever since then.

i've been wearing false lashes everyday since grade 11 for about 2 years or more. My skin above my lashline started to get really red, raw, and irritated, so i started wearing them only a few times a week so it gives it a bit of time to heal. Eventually i stopped wearing them, maybe only a few times a month. This was since the beginning of this year. My eyelids are still not complete healed, every time i apply lashes they get irritated and red again and they stay this way for a few days.
i'm starting to think that maybe im allergic to latex ( im using DUO glue) do you know of a lash glue that is very gentle latex free?
