LVL lashes

Ooo I can't wait to see some post wedding flashes of these! I too have the short and stubby kind of lashes, so thanks for the heads up. I'll put them on my ever increasing list of wedding "research"

Ooh. Did you get these done in Manc ID?

Blinkin eck (ha!) ID - look at your ticker!! Oh my gosh! GOOD LUCK!!!

Friend of mine has a beauty business (mobile) and does these in Manc Dd - https://www.facebook.com/BelleBeautyManchester?fref=ts

Yeah, the place is called Zensational Beauty and it's on Lever Street in town (Northern Quarter). I'd never been there before but I really liked it. Because I have some social anxieties I feel really nervous about going into new places and being touched by strangers, but I felt really relaxed there. By contrast, I had my nails done at a different salon yesterday and I did not enjoy that at all - felt uncomfortable the whole time!

Excuse my ignorance but what are they? What do they do to your lashes? I'm wondering what to do lash wise, so I'm very interested in this!

Okay, so they treat your own lashes to make them look longer and curlier. I think they actually straighten them - don't ask me how the science works, but my lashes look far more lifted than they ever do when I use eyelash curlers. You just lie there while they apply pads and solutions for about an hour - no pain or anything. Cos they're your own lashes, you can treat them as normal after the first 24hrs - you can use mascara if you want, although I definitely don't need it! They last the life of your lashes, so 4-6wks for most people.

Oh, I'd never heard of this either...def one to look into! I was gonna have some natural looking falsies added to mine but something like this might be better as it'll last all through the honeymoon too. Cheers!!

I'm quite interested in LVL lashes for my honeymoon. I had extensions on for my wedding but had a bad experience with them this time (have had them before) and they came out in clumps with my own lashes. So have had three weeks of hardly any lashes at all which has been odd and they are only just now long enough to put mascara on. So want something that will enhance my own rather than look great for a few weeks but then look worst than before when they come out.

(NB to anyone considering lash extensions go for the ones that you can have infills with and last up to 4 weeks rather than the temporary 2/3 week ones. The 2/3 week ones are heavier lashes which are quicker to apply (and cheaper) as you don't need as many lashes. But this means they are very weighty on your own lashes and most likely will pull your own lashes out. Mine started coming out after 5 days and felt much falser than the lovely ones I have had on before)

I used to have my lashes permed and tinted years ago - LVL is a variation on that using updated techniques for the curling (they use a straightener rather than a curler) As it is packaged up it costs more than a usual perm and tint so if you are on a really tight budget you could try a normal perm and tint. I didn't like the perm which is why I fancy the lvl - found the curly lash a bit too curly - a couple of lashes looked waaaaay too curly - like hairs you would find elsewhere IYKWIM. But the tinting alone makes such a difference.

Glad you like them though ID. Sounds like your wedding beauty regime is in full swing!!

Yeah, I looked into extensions first, but i was concerned about the aftercare. With these you can't get them wet or wear makeup for 24hrs, but I hadn't planned to go out tomorrow anyway. I am vaguely worried about my eyes watering in the mornings, but the worst case scenario is that they'll droop a bit - there's no glue or false lashes to come away. I do have a bit of tint and solution residue on my lids right now, but I can remove that with eye makeup remover tomorrow night.

I had LVL lashes a few weeks ago and I agree the results are amazing, couldn't believe they were my own lashes, definitely recommend!! Three weeks on they're still looking good, it's addictive though I think I'll want it done again when they're back to normal! x

Ooh thanks for that. I see lots of offers for them pop up on wahanda so might be tempted next time! Always good to have a personal recommendation - glad they did a good job for you!

And cheers SW, we're moving out of the centre in the next few months so might be in need of a mobile lady who can come to me when it's not convenient to come in to town.

I had eyelash extensions and considered them for the wedding, but every time I cried my eyes stung really bad! Don't know if it was because of the adhesive in them or something.

Was looking for an alternative since I'll likely be an emotional wreck on the day! Will defo give this a try!
