I’m always jealous of my friends’ false lashes as I seem to be completely incapable of putting them on myself. I finally stopped bothering as I was finding that smudged make up was really not a good look. I was then introduced to semi-permenant eyelash extensions, Noveau Lashes.
A friend of mine, Lauren, who is a beauty therapist said she would do them for me, so I decided to give them a try.
Here’s a picture of my lashes before:
Following a brief chat about a party we were at on Saturday night, I lay back and an anti-wrinkle eye patch was applied to stop my lower lashes get in the way. Lauren set about applying individual lashes to each of my own. The full treatment took about an hour and around 50 false lashes were applied to each eye.
The treatment itself wasn’t bad. The only uncomfortable part was trying to keep my eyes closed for an hour, but that really wasn’t a big issue.
So, it was finally time to open my eyes. What a difference! I didn’t want anything too dramatic, however you could definitely see that they had been done. I look like I have mascara on and my lashes definitely look fuller. I honestly don’t even notice that they are on. They are not heavy or uncomfortable, although you do have to be careful when removing your make up. I haven’t worn mascara since having them on as I really don’t think there is any need. They will also last longer.
Here’s an picture of my eyes now:
I’d read a few reviews about the Noveau Lashes and people who said that their natural lashes had snapped off from having the extensions. I asked Lauren about this and she assured me that the lashes will sometimes snap if they are not applied properly, however she has trained with Noveau and this shouldn’t be a problem. I know she has lots of regular customers – one lady who has them done every two weeks without fail – so I’m not too worried. I will let you know how I get on though.
I will need an infill in around 2-3 weeks. I’ve got so many parties to go to throughout December that I think I’ll keep them on until the New Year.
As for the results, it’s only been a few days but I love getting up and not having to put mascara on in the morning. I’m very happy with them and anything that saves me time is a bonus.
I think they’ll be the type of treatment I have done for special occasions, or for times when I have lots of parties or events planned. I’m definitely a fan and I’ll blog a picture of the infill once I’ve had them done!
