Having long eyelashes is definitely a privilege! :)
I don't need to waste money on fake eyelashes and don't need to take the "risk" of getting eyes infection. I heard that wearing fake eyelashes (or it's the glue fault?)can cause eyes infection, I don't know how true though. But having eyes infection is definitely a NO-NO! I had it once and I had to stop wearing lenses for months! That one experience is enough.
