All About: Lashes

Hey Dolls,

I headed back to the Beauty Yard to chat to the lovely Tan about the different types of lash enhancements available.

The first thing to choose between is natural enhancing or extensions first let’s talk about enhancing your own lashes!

My favourite thing is LVL lashes (length, volume and lift), it’s basically a perm and tint for your lashes that lasts around 6 weeks, it’s low maintance and cheaper than lash extensions. LVL is also great if you are allergic to lash glue or can’t keep up the maintenance of extensions!

Moving on to lash extensions, they come in three main styles classic, Tahitian and Russian! First let’s talk about the process, having a set of lashes will take about 2 hours, with regular maintenance every 2-3 weeks.

It’s really important to go to a lash technician who is personally recommend and to ensure you go for a patch test, not only will this ensure you aren’t allergic to the glue but you can also access the professionalism of the salon and technicians.

Now onto the styles:

Classic- 1 false lash to 1 real lash, last 2-4 weeks, maintenance every 2 weeks, giving a natural look

Tahitian- 3 false lashes to 1 real lash, last 2-8 weeks, top up every 2-4 week, giving you a half glam look

Russian- 6-8 false lashes to 1 real lash, same maintenance and longerity as Tahitian, giving you a full glam look

August Favourites!

Hey Dolls,

I haven’t done a monthly favourites post for ages so thought I would share with you what my favourite Beauty and lifestyle faves have been in august!

Starting with beauty, my fave of august was L’Oréal Volume million lashes mascara! This mascara is not a new one but I have fallen back in love with it, it makes my lashes look false when I wear it as I’ve had LVL lashes, affordable and fabulous, highly recommended!

Next up skincare, this was a random one as I stole it from my mums cupboard but wow it’s fab! My skin care favourite is Neal’s Yard orange flower facial oil, I have always been weary of oils as I have combination skin but this oil leaves my skin feeling really hydrated and not greasy plus it smells amazing!IMG_0137

Sticking with beauty but moving on to brushes, although I was late to the party I decided to purchase 2 of the PS Pro brushes from Primark, and thand foundation brush has become my new favourite brush! It applies products flawlessly and fast with lovely results, Primark have definitely upped their game!

My final beauty fave has been the B makeup brush cleanser, its great for when your brushes need a clean but you don’t have time for a deep clean, simply spritz on a tissue or towel and rub the brush on it until its clean then your brushes are ready to use!
