there is a product called Talika that helps your eyelashes grow, you can buy it at Sephora. it comes either in a pot or in a tube. i use the pot.
I did the same thing once, pulled out some lashes, was incredibly incredbly upset! but this talika thing works, and my lashes are nice and long again

very happy.
by reading thru this thread tho, i really need to go get myself some eyelash primer!
and, i try to avoid wearing mascara on a daily basis now, if your lashes are nice and healthy it looks rather good without, and i rather go without than have my lashes fall off, regardless of how much i love mascara, and trust me, I REALLY DO! hahahaha!
