Two fails in one day   The Barbie jeweled lashes are too short and sparse even with a coat of mascara.  Jewels are subtle and that's fine but I won't be wearing them to the 16th birthday party (I don't think).

Kiss Spikey X (You Dew You) lashes are CRAZY!  I would love to be able to wear them but it's a big fat NO!  These literally look like costume lashes.

I'm too old to be sporting that kind of eye makeup. Maybe if I was twenty or thirty-something.

I think the eye shadow is fine, but the heavy black liner and heavy lashes are too much.

You'd think there would be some standards of decorum and hygiene in the medical fields.

There ARE standards of decorum and hygiene in the medical field.  Apparently just not to your standards.

@monicakm    Standards are called that because they're standardized throughout the industry, not to individual tastes.  You should know that.  Medical personnel should not look ghoulish and unsanitary, which includes excess make-up.

@monicakm   I doubt it will bother you a bit.

Yeah, I guess I don't care enough what my friends and family think of what I choose to wear on my face.  I've never had anyone complain or make a rude comment.  Oh wait!  Yes I have.  My daughter, but she's light hearted about it.  She doesn't wear any makeup except for lash extension.  She could certainly benefit from some skincare and makeup.  

@monicakm  I don't think any of us who prefer a more polished makeup look would make a critical comment to any of our friends, acquaintances or strangers who go full on glam.  Any negative thoughts I might have would certainly be kept to myself (unless I had a daughter who I thought could benefit from some constructive criticism).

@MarieIG    YES!!  Thanks for asking!

I DID!!  I DID!! ... I rec'd them Sunday!  And I'm incredibly shocked,* .. & delighted!  The BEST $8 that I recall ever spending!

I didnt see in the title that they are foldable.. but they are!  .. (Which protect the metal "spokes/tines" on each of the "eyelash separater combs.") 

   (And even the duo-ended "eyebrow brushes" are foldable!) 

*HELL.OF.A.LOT.BETTER* than the 100% plastic, 2D "Maybelline-ish" simple comb" that I'd used since I was a teen!

@MarieIG  Thanks for asking!  "Big thumbs up!"

I wonder how those metal combs are safer than a safety pin?  It looks like about 25 safety pins in one of those combs

@monicakm   Interesting that you asked!

I was thinking.. since there's a total of (3) .. i was thinking of maybe pulling out every other tine/spoke, in one of these (3), even if I only start "brushing" thru the eyelashes initially, working up to the closer, originally "tines/spokes"  Whatta think?

Soooo...you'd only have 12 pins to stick you in the eyeball.  I guess that's better lol  A week or so ago someone was shocked that I used to use a safety pin to separate my lashes.  I did this for decades before switching to false lashes.  Stuck myself in the eyeball one time.

I think if you have three combs and you're curious as too the look it would create, go for it.  If I still used mascara, I would probably try it (if I'd thought of it).
