Are Mink Lashes Worth It? Our Verdict
I love eyelash extensions. And I really love my mink eyelash extensions. Wroblewski is as much a magician as her effusive, five-star Yelp reviews would suggest. While I would never hesitate to entrust Wroblewski with my lashes, I think I'll be going back to synthetic extensions -- and you probably should probably stick to fakes, too.

For the layperson, it's very hard to tell a set of faux lash extensions from a mink set; the difference is incremental, not to mention faux extensions look really good. (Here is a photo of me with synthetic extensions.) And the allegations surrounding the inhumane treatment of minks -- TBH, the claims seem credible -- have convinced me that synthetic extensions are the way to go. Avoiding mink lash extensions is a hell of a lot easier than turning down the surreally delicious bacon at my favorite brunch spot, and I've managed to do that.

Asking your lash technician for faux mink lashes is a great way to slash the expense of a lash extension service with a barely perceptible difference in look and feel. Plus, you'll be keeping animals off your face -- a win-win. And if you're in the hands of a lash extension like expert Wroblewski, you're going to look stunning no matter what type of extension you choose.
