Yeah, it's definitely a trend ( moreso with WOC), and I wish it would DIE!!!!!!!
Most of the people wearing them are just doing too much; they're not appropriate for the time/place/occasion. They all seem to be running with the MORE is more theme, and it really looks tacky. There's also the issue of people sleeping in them and having that spider-eye thing happening.
Don't get me wrong, I love a nice, complimentary lash, but most of the women wearing them now definitely don't have a handle on that concept.
