I would say the problem was that I forgot my lashes, and it was my prom night. I was getting ready to put on makeup, and lashes are the most important part for me. I opened my makeup bag and tried looking for them, but I couldn't find my lashes. I thought I had put them in my bag, but I did not. The thing is, I have really thin lashes, and I wanted to look perfect and stunning, elegant on my prom night. It was going to be my only prom night, and without lashes, I was really upset. We were in LA, and it was kind of far, so every shop was closed. I think it was almost 10 p.m., and I looked everything up, but everything was closed. I didn't know where I could go to get lashes, and I was crying. So, I called my boyfriend, and he said he would borrow his mom's lashes for me and bring them to me. He drove all the way from his house, which was about 30 minutes away, to my house and gave me my lashes. I really appreciated him. So, that's how I fixed it.
