Yes, bar lashes are the full line of false eye lashes that you glue on. You can also buy individual lashes (or fillers) which are little groups of about 3 lashes and are a bit trickier to use.Aussie-wafflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110855454126770624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706135996021508670.post-84278295509928259722010-10-28T10:52:14.345+10:002010-10-28T10:52:14.345+10:00ppss.

I avoid ads altogether.. so how could this particular Ad suck up my attention I wonder? Hmmmmm<br /><br />+ I don't even wear make-up coz hubby sort of tells me I shouldn't have to (my husband says I look beautiful without it.. but maybe he's trying to hint how shocking I look with makeup coz I have no idea how to put it on) but having said that, my skin is so crappy I really could do with a few thick layers.. + I have eye-brows that look like squashed pillows.. so I think over the years I've just got used to not having to wear any and have learnt to accept it (that + not having the foggiest idea of what to buy & where to apply it).<br /><br />btw. you have such beautiful skin!!!!!<br /><br />Vicki xx<br /><br />ps. I can't believe I nearly considered buying Mascara just from seeing one Ad (shame shame) thinking I really could change my whole life around by increasing my eyelashes by 45cm ..

I don't wear a lot of makeup, being a mummy of 4 school children, i only use it when i'm goign to be visible beyond the school gate. Funnily enough, ditto for most of the mums (is it an early to mid 30s thing??) Anyway, as my daughters start to look at make up (in a few years) & apply mascara to their much longer, fuller, darker lashes than me (husband has such long eyelashes they are blonde on the tips & touch his sunglasses) actually that's a point you didn't raise, WHY ARE LUSH LASHES WASTED ON BOYS??!! I normally wear glasses so i assume no one can see my eyelashes anyway!! Now i'm off to get my eyebrows waxed. <br />Really cool post, love Posieposie blogs Jennie McClellandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422068499429667636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706135996021508670.post-54895998660481588022010-10-27T20:05:51.151+10:002010-10-27T20:05:51.151+10:00Wow - that's amazing!
