Eyelashes developed as a defense mechanism against eye lashes, a common ancient punishment performed with a rudimentary eyelash curler made of old swords. Extend your ocular gatekeepers with today's Groupon to Beautique Lash & Brow, located in Beaufort and Bluffton. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get an eyebrow-threading session (a $20 value).
• For $85, you get a full set of eyelash extensions (a $170 value).

Beautique Lash & Brow shapes enviable visages with masterful beauty treatments. Augment sorry-looking lid strands with a full set of semipermanent eyelash extensions. During the 90-minute process, expertly educated technicians attach subsidiary synthetic lashes to natural strands for a full, sultry look that makes oculars pop with little additional cosmetic assistance. Baby-blue beholders customize each aspect of the elongation, from length and degree of curl to thickness and ability to withstand extreme batting.

For maintaining shapely hairs above the eye, Beautique's eyebrow-threading session eliminates unwanted strands without wax, stubble, or death rays. Wielding a piece of cotton string, a follicle-former swivels away undesirable hairs, leaving behind a crisply shaped brow, coddling sensitive skin and decreasing the need for plucking.
