Doll Up Your Ride with CarLashes, Eyelashes for Headlights

Doll up your car with CarLashes, fake eyelashes for your headlights

Seeing a car with butterflies, or perhaps flowers, painted on the side, or with a sticker saying “Princess on Board” is no longer a rare occurrence. Now, women drivers have even more options to doll up their ride.

CarLashes makes and sells this brand new car accessory for women – because it’s clear as daylight that no man would ever even consider putting such a thing on his car.

The CarLashes are fake eyelashes that women can stick to the headlights of their car, and which also come with a glittery, crystal eyeliner for even more bling.

This way, useless to say, the car looks more feminine and pictures of vehicles with the CarLashes can surely confirm that.

“Dress up your headlights with a touch of fashion and a twinkle of crystal! Flexible design bends around headlights. Attaches easily with 3M automotive trim tape. Will not damage paint,” the maker says on the official website.

Because the lashes are flexible, almost all shapes of headlights will do, be they round or elongated. This way, the CarLash doesn’t discriminate between brands, models or owners.

After placing their order, women have to wait only 1 to 3 business days before they get to see what their latest car accessory can do – and how it looks on their ride.

For $24.99, ladies can get either one pair of lashes or lashes sold separately from crystal eyeliner, while for $19.99, they get one pair of crystal eyeliners or crystal eyeliner sold separately from lashes.

While, undoubtedly, many women find the idea cute, Alison Tyler of the Daily Mail sees in it the death of feminism and the clearest sign that the makers of CarLashes think women are all like Paris Hilton.

“Seriously, is this what feminists burnt their bras for? And now there’s a new female-friendly car accessory that tops the lot: car lashes,” Tyler writes.

“Perhaps we should have seen this coming; Cheryl Cole and Jordan are rarely spotted without their false lashes and both resemble a living Girls’ World makeup doll head,” she goes on to say.

Women, however, should not stand for this type of generalization. “Time to take a stand, ladies, before our cars go the same way, too,” she urges.

I am waiting for my pair of Carlashes! The waiting period for shipping has been two weeks so far because of the huge amount of orders that came in after the CNN special about the product. Alison Tyler is out of touch with reality on this subject because carlashes are just for fun (and the creator is genius), and thankfully women are free to show their femininity that way if they so choose. Does she disapprove of high heels, deodorant and razor blades being sold in stores too?
