CurlTalk - Eyelash extensions

Have you ever gotten eyelash extensions? Do you think they are worth it? I don't know how to apply false lashes. I end up putting them on wrong and getting glue all over my eyelid. Even if I did know how to put them on, I would be annoyed at having to take them on and off everyday and having to buy them regularly. I tried looking up Youtube tutorials but I can't see because their hands are always in the way. I also wear glasses and don't have contacts at the moment. I am extremely near sided so I have to get really close to them mirror in order to put them on. What are your preferences, false lashes or lash extensions? Any tips on putting false eyelashes on?
