Worse still, she apparently also developed swollen eyes.

However, three hours after she left the salon, part of the fake eyelashes fell off by themselves, she claimed.
After she reached home, Ms Wang also noticed that her eyes had become reddish and swollen.
The 45-year-old’s eyes subsequently became very itchy, so she scratched them lightly with her hands, she said.
To her surprise, the fake eyelashes on both eyes fell off completely.

Horrified, she exclaimed,
S$68 made me beautiful for only 3 hours!
When contacted, the beauty salon’s person in charge, known as Ms Lin, said Ms Wang got in touch with them only two days after her visit.
She’d asked for a refund, they said, and they suggested that she come back to the salon to remove the eyelashes.
They allegedly also offered to help ease her swelling by applying lotion to the affected area. However, she declined.
