My cat Loves my eyelashes???

So, i've noticed over the last year and a half, my kitty Missy LOVES coming up to me and sniffing my eyelashes. I love it because it tickles.... But does anyone know Why she would do that? is this just my pretty kitty or is this other people's cats habits too?

Two of my cats LOVED licking my eyelashes. Who knows why

My dogs were always really interested in my eyelashes whenever I wore mascara. I think mascaras have some animal-based ingredients that probably smell good to carnivores.

One of mine does that too. She also likes licking my hair and my dogs eyelashes. So I guess its a weird fetish.
Why? Dont know. Maybe its the taste of natural oils from the eyelid area, some sort of grooming routine, or just plain fun.
