My Eyelashes are Going Bald!

That is right.  I am loosing my eyelashes at a very fast rate.  I noticed it this morning when I began to put mascara on.  Usually, I can run the brush through them about 3 times and have a very nice layer of black mascara that makes my eyelashes look thicker than they actually are.  This morning, however, I spent about 10 minutes reapplying the black to my eyelashes and it still looked like I barely had any mascara on.

I will admit to spending very little time looking in the mirror at my appearance.  My routine consists of applying make-up, brushing and drying my hair, putting on my clothes, and looking once to make sure everything is complete.  Rarely do I put something on and take it off for something else.  I generally only purchase clothes that I really like and that makes my getting ready so much easier.  For the ladies who spend hours looking in the mirror at their fine lines and wrinkles, I feel for you.  I honestly do not know if I have any wrinkles because I just don't pay enough attention.  In my mind, I look so much better than I actually do so it is much easier to spend as little time as possible memorizing what I really look like.  So here I am dipping my mascara brush into the tube and reapplying it to my eyes over and over and still not seeing a difference.  I suddenly begin to fret and that is when I realize that I must be going bald. My eyelashes are disappearing rapidly.  They were fine last Sunday and one week later, they are gone.

After struggling with this for at least 10 minutes or possibly less, I realized that it is almost time for me to trade in my old mascara tube for a new one.  In fact, I have one ready in the bathroom vanity.  So now I'm wondering if my eyelashes are going bald or if I just need to open a new tube of mascara.  I will be completely honest and say that I was saddened by the balding eyelashes as I made my way to church this morning.  If my eyelashes are going bald, it must mean that my lips are about to disappear, crows feet are about to appear, and wrinkles could be only days away.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the new tube of mascara will be the answer to my eyelashes.  We shall see in a few weeks when it is "time" to open up the fresh container.
