Jacqui Phillips: Bat those extended eyelashes and get what you want

So you want to swim, sail, run, play softball or just hang by the pool with perfect lashes this holiday weekend, just like the celebrities? No problem. You even have a choice: You can get semi-permanent eyelash extensions that can be worn for a day, two weeks or two months. The differences are simple: price, length and look.

It's like wearing makeup without the mascara. All you need are your own lashes and a bit of gloss and you're ready.

Two-month lashes basically take about 90 minutes to two hours to apply, one lash at a time. The look and feel are very natural.

Two-week lashes are amazing. Most people get longer wear out of them. They're a small cluster that take about 40 minutes to apply, and can be made to look very natural or very dramatic depending on your taste.

Both procedures are very relaxing, painless, and applied while you are lying down.

Two-month lashes cost anywhere from $150 to $600.  But here's an insider tip: They won't last that long without touchups, so be careful how much you spent on lashes that are going to require at least one touchup that will not only take more of your time, but $50 to $150 more out of your pocketbook.

The two-week lashes go for $50 to $100 and don't require touchups. However, I suggest paying for removal ($25-$40), which, in the end, will save your natural lashes.

You can always go with lashes for a day -- $25. They're great for a party or wedding. The best part, though, is that there's no commitment, like you have with the longer-term lashes.

Tips for wearing your new lashes:
  • Don’t get them wet for at least 24 hours -- and preferably 48.
  • Use oil-free makeup remover.
  • DO NOT use oil-based creams, or spend excessive amounts of time in hot tubs or steam baths.
  • NO tanning beds.
  • Don't tug or pull at them.
  • Avoid sleeping face down.
Eyelash extensions are rewarding not only because they make you feel glamorous. They have power, too: Ask for something when you flutter them and you can be sure you'll get it!
