It burrrrns, mama, it burrrns

Just wondering how many of you get your eyelashes tinted. And if you do, do any of you do what I do and concentrate sooooooo hard on not opening your eyes (to avoid catastrophic pain that feels like it's burning your eyeballs out of their sockets) that you almost do?

I know it's supposed to be somewhat relaxing, like a mini beauty treatment, although I only go because if I don't my eyelashes are that lovely invisible blonde that makes it look like I have none at all. So I lie there and try and enjoy the few minutes' peace on my own. Instead, I struggle to keep my eyelids shut. They feel like they want to just fling open and my eyeballs move around and strain against my closed lids. It's awful!

Is it a condition? Maybe I have a condition. Close-eyetis. The inability to keep ones' eyes shut when the preservation of ones' eyesight depends solely on just that.

Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
