EYELASH IMPLANTS

They graft 'em off yo head! The funny thing is, the end result pic doesn't make the procedure look very effective. They've done it for years on burn victims, but since they take the new lashes from head hair, it continues to grow and therefore must be regularly cut and curled to match your original thin lashes.

But the insidious thing about

those commercials is that, unlike

you and I, the consumers these ads

target do not know or realize that

then run out and buy the mascara,

bring it

out to the car ripping it out of

the packaging to apply it in the

rear view mirror only to be

disappointed to see that their own

unremarkable lashes are now

unremarkable lashes clumped with

wet black goo
