Semi permanent lashes - how often do you get yours redone

[CherylVole]

I'm noticing the side I sleep on is way worse.. I'm just under 3 weeks ATM

[Spurtle]

Every three weeks, but the last three or four days don't look great.

[CherylVole]

And there's enough there to qualify as a redo ?

[Spurtle]

Yes, definitely. Sometimes it looks sparser than others, but I only ever get charged for maintenance rather than a full set.

[JohnCheese]

I'm new to lashes - have only done them a few times, but like Spurtle, I need maintenance every 3 weeks. And yes, I find the side I sleep on is worse. I need them next week and already they're not looking great. I'm beginning to wonder if they're worth the time and expense.

I love them, but the upkeep! The upkeep!

[CherylVole]

do you find you are obsessing?~

[NoArmaniNoPunani]

I get mine done every 2 weeks

[JohnCheese]

Obsessing?? Do you mean looking at them all the time? No, not really. Usually when I do my maquillage in the morning. After that, there ain't time really. I LOVE them when they're fresh, but I fall out of love as rapidly as they fall off my eyes.

I am getting pure sick of the upkeep.Did I already day that?

[CherylVole]

oh god I am. Yes agree - one is more full than the other i am SURE

[JohnCheese]

Yes I get you. But I do find my eyelashes on my left eye are quite a bit sparser than my right. So that might be the reason that the eyelashes are not equal.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but have you thought of doing a lash lift instead? I used to get extensions with top-ups every 3 weeks. Now I have DS I simply don't find the time and also I find them a little bit over the top for me.

Had a lash lift 2 weeks ago and they still look great. Curled, dark, lovely and natural. I don't know how long they will last but I think she said they can only be redone every 10 weeks. I'm very happy with mine so far,

[JohnCheese]

The lash lift is good if you've decent lashes to start with - thick and long. It wasn't great for my fine fair lashes.

[PurpleNurple69]

I was going to get lash extensions later this month as a birthday treat but maintenance every 3 weeks?! Hells bells! Is there nothing more permanent I could get? My bloody lashes - pale, short and straight. The curse of ash blonde hair

On a plus note, my lady garden is very manageable!

[CherylVole]

what IS a lash lift?

[CherylVole]

oh god purple they are amazing - half an hour every 3 weeks and I sometimes have a little snooze

[PurpleNurple69]

What about oil based make up remover? Is that safe to use on them? I use waterproof eyeliner.

This is what I had done: nouveaulashes.com/lvl-enhance-the-natural-lash-lift


Sorry I don't know how to do a proper link.

Agree that it's probably only good if you have dark, long lashes to start with.

[oldfatandtired1]

Also popping in to say LVL's only any good if you have decent lashes to start with

[EverythingEverywhere1234]

I tend to get mine infilled every 3-4 weeks. They do worse if I've had a few tipsy nights out as I tend to be less careful with them while taking my make up off. I never really let them get too sparse.

[Spurtle]

What does everyone mean by maintenance? I don't do anything to mine. If I have eyeliner on I remove it with miscellar water (is that even close to how you spell it? - looks wrong). For day time make up I find they're enough on their own. My make up routine is super easy - BB all in one primer/foundation think, bronzer, done. Takes two minutes if that. I love, love, love my lashes.

[CherylVole]

no oil
I use micallar VERY gently

[CherylVole]

i add eyeliner as SANS they are way more obvious and I feel too vampy

[MrTumblesbitch]

What kind of lash extensions are you all getting?

I have seen the russian lashes which look dramatic, but I quite like that. I normally do them myself (short individuals, close together for volume but then not masively OTT cos they are short)

Contemplating if it is worth getting them done! I love my false lashes!

[PurpleNurple69]

I looked at the Russian ones but they're a bit OTT for me!

[CherylVole]

dunno
Mink individuals
9 and 11 curly or something

[itsbetterthanabox]

Spurtle maintenance is infills.
No oils, no rubbing, no mascara.
