Trouble Importing Animations from Blender

So I have this animation made in Blender all rigged and ready to go, looks great in blender. The animation is of a girl laying down and getting back up on her feet. Before she stands up, her eyes blink a few times. When I import the animation into unity, everything works perfectly except the blinking eyes. Does it not import correctly because the eyelashes aren't rigged and just being transformed by rotation in blender? or is there something else I might be missing? I've tried fixing the issue for a couple hours and can't find any solution without having to rig the eyes (if that is even the issue). I've tried baking the animation, merging actions, and messed around with the NLA editor.
