Along with an empty bank account and perpetual hangover, smudged lashes are a holiday inevitability (from crying during A Charlie Brown Christmas, sweating off a sugar cookie binge, etc.).

Since the pain of removing waterproof makeup turns you into a Grinch, simplify your routine with Lash Lab’s new semipermanent mascara treatment — it stays on a full two weeks.

Technicians mix the treatment to order, and a variety of wand thicknesses means you can decide between naturally blessed and Twiggy-thick. They even curl your hairs pretreatment. After just 30 minutes, you’ll have budge-proof eye makeup that will make you look wide-eyed and fresh during even your most cringe-worthy shenanigans.

Unleash the tears of joy.

Available at Lash Lab, Union Street, at Fillmore Street (888-406-5274 or lash-lab.com). DailyCandy readers get exclusive access to the service before its official launch at the anniversary party in January. Mention DailyCandy to book.
