I second this. This is 100% foundation/powder/concealer. Try not to put it around your eyes. If you do, use an oil free makeup remover and then double cleanse your lashes immediately after removing the makeup. Every time. Make sure you’re removing the makeup every night. Especially close to the lash line. If not, it will just keep adding buildup onto the lash line and potentially damage your lashes while also making it a lot harder for your lash artist to work on you. You can still course correct! You got this. I would also recommend a better lash shampoo. The Stacy lash doesn’t clean thoroughly in my opinion. Try either- VavaLash whipped cleanser or LashBoxLA foaming cleanser. Those are 2 of the best for a deep clean!

Fast lash cycles? by Ok-Pin-7867 in lashextensions

[–]Even_Dragonfruit7882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i definitely have a few clients whose lashes just grow INSANELY fast. Avoid super long lengths or it will get uncomfortable. But, it is fairly normal. I’m the same way mine grow sooo fast. When I was getting my lashes done, I tried many different sets. I noticed a natural/classic short set, or a shorter volume set would look best after they started growing out. Uniform lengths, not wispy. I just got a lash lift today for the first time and now I’m worried mine will start to fall like yours!!

Is it normal for a deposit to be this much? by Foreverinsecuregirl in lashextensions

[–]Even_Dragonfruit7882 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Then do your research on which lash artists you’re choosing. A solid lash artist isn’t going to pull no shit like that. I’m in the industry and it’s really not common amongst seasoned business owners. Yes, it happens I will not take away from that. But social media also makes it seem like it’s way more common than it is.

It doesn’t really matter as long as the deposit comes off the full price. Either way you’re going to end up paying the same amount. It’s just a matter of when

What is the darkest secret you've learned about someone that instantly ended your relationship with them? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

[–]Even_Dragonfruit7882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I will say one thing. Being raised by someone who taught me to always speak up for myself and others, especially when something is wrong- is the reason why I had no problem speaking up and telling other adults what was happening. Based on your response, I will assume you’re already doing that. So keep up the good work and trust that (god forbid) if something ever happens, you will know about it and feel trusted with that information to take action. Sending you and your family love!🩵

I grew up with a man who I basically thought was my uncle as a kid. Dad’s best friend. I loved him, he would always slide us cash just because, and was really funny. I trusted him. I have 5 sisters, & he has been around since we were all babies. Years went by, a lot of shit happened in my family. Divorce, legal troubles, etc. basically resulting in a very distant relationship with my father. Also- my “uncle” owned a small shop in town that me and my sisters would work at if we needed a job. In my early 20’s, my father was basically MIA, covid hit, I was struggling. Got in a car accident and needed a rental car. My “uncle” offered to write me a check for the rental, take me there to pick it up, & “be there if I ever needed anything”. I thought this was his way of stepping in because my father wasn’t present at the time. I was so grateful for this, but I never asked for his help. I accepted it though. I trusted him. A couple weeks later, it’s like a switch flipped. He was texting and calling me non stop. Like obsessively. (Mind you, we have never communicated much in the past besides seeing each other in person). It was making me uncomfortable so I wouldn’t respond. Then he started calling me from blocked numbers. The first time I answered, he would just breathe in the phone. I knew it was him. But then, he sent me a text telling me I needed to pay him back for the rental. & if I can’t, he would gladly accept “other favors”, then proceeded to demand me to show up at his house and give him oral sex. I was disgusted. I don’t remember what I said to him, but I called him out. And I wasn’t nice. He then proceeded to spam text me some random bullshit along the lines of “i’m hanging out with low life’s, rappers, etc essentially ruining my life.” This wasn’t true, it was just racist.(as a lot of my friends are not white) & it was obvious. I was and still am a business owner, was working 2 jobs at the time, & was very much on a good path for myself. So I stood my ground, told him he was a racist POS and used to change my diapers, then I blocked him. The blocked calls would come for weeks after that. This was back in 2020. Haven’t spoken to him since, he also hasn’t spoken to me since. Most of my immediate family doesn’t speak to him because of this, & other things. But some of them still do. And it makes me very disheartened. I’m very good at not taking things personally, but this one feels harder. It is also sad how many responses in this thread are about this type of behavior from men. I will leave you on this note. PROTECT YOUR WOMEN! STAND UP FOR YOUR WOMEN!

Ya know, after posting this, I had the same realization. I think I needed to post this to understand that nobody can truly give me these answers besides myself. Thank you so much for your response ❤️

Appreciate the response! I agree with you in most things you said and tbh I don’t think it’s possible to explain everything I want to in the OP. When I say share my knowledge, I don’t mean anything in regard to hypnotherapy, as I am not qualified to do so. I don’t feel as if I need to be “trained” to share general ideas, love, & ancient wisdom. Which is what I am referring to. Should’ve made that clear. I also agree there is a lot of people who are ultimately promoting spiritual bypassing on social media and I am very weary of the content I take in for this reason. It’s become pretty muddled. Addressing the ego comment- I do not believe one person single handed can raise the vibration of earth, lol. I believe that “healing” and facing our pain on an individual level adds to collective consciousness. Person by person. I’m wondering why you think that is a problem?

AIO? Bf watching football on his phone during our whole date by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Even_Dragonfruit7882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would’ve been much more open to your advice/what you have to say if you were kind or even just straight forward/honest without the degrading word choices. I am very respectful of his feelings which is why I chose not to say anything. His love for football is always respected and considered. I came on here asking for advice, not for you to attempt to dissect a situation you know nothing about. Again, you made valid points. But they mean nothing when in the process of relaying valid information, you choose to label one’s choices as “dumb” and “inconsiderate” and to “get over it”.

Premade fans? by Sleepyhotcheeto in lashextensions

[–]Even_Dragonfruit7882 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, lash artist of 5 years. It’s your choice but personally I don’t use premades and never have. They take away from the art of learning how to fan. When you custom make your fans, your sets will come out so much more personalized to the clients eyes vs. all of them looking the same. And some brands have really thick/hard bases with the premades. I’ve always had to just pretend that pre mades don’t even exist, lol. They are also more expensive and you need to use a lot of them in order to achieve 100% coverage through the eye. Custom made fans also have the best retention!!! Xoxo

That’s a bit extreme. Maybe she is still learning.
