Eyelash extensions

[whysh]

Has anyone had these? I've got quite sensitive skin around my eyes and on my eyelids and lately they've been reacting to any makeup including mascara so thought this might be a good option

How much do they cost?
How often do you need infiills
Are they itchy/ irritating?

I have them and love them. I get mine infilled every 3 weeks. They are not irritating - usually! I had them done for an occasion in the summer and now addicted.

I pay £25 for a full set and £15 for infills.

I tried lash extensions but just couldn't get used to them around my eyes! My friend recommended these lashes that look like individuals but are like strip lashes (sounds confusing, i know!) but they are the easiest things i have ever used and absolutely love them! They made me feel so glam and can reuse them so worth the money heres the link to the website: www.hannabeautyshop.com hope this is of some use to you! xx

I'm going to have mine done this week. £60 so hope it's worth it!

I love mine. Started with classics then discovered Russian volume and I couldn’t go back to classics now. I get compliments all the time. I pay £27 for infills.

As an alternative - really effective and better for the eyelashes- try a squalene based facial & eye cleanser. The effect on my eyelashes was truly phenomenal.

You should read about Marion Keyes and her eyelash addiction it put me off them

I was thinking of these too, quite a big price difference on here, what is the ballpark cost of upkeep would people say and how often?

Op I'm having the same problem with mascaras at the moment, are the formulas changing or something Also finding lots of them smudge now too.

Watching with interest. I can't wear mascara either. Stick ons went very badly wrong.

I Live in SE London and a full set of classics is £45-55 and Russians are £60-70. I’ve had mine done twice but I just can’t get on with them. You can’t wash your face properly, rub your eyes and having to brush them all the time just annoyed me. They look lovely for a special occasion and for about 1-1.5 weeks but then they become leggy and odd looking. Only worth doing if you’ll have them infilled every 3 weeks and happy with the upkeep

You have to brush them? I was looking for something easier maintenance, maybe not for me then

I used to have them, they do look amazing! The glue did irritate my eyes sometimes.
For me it's such a huge upkeep.
I now use a eyelash serum and tint. I've got curly lashes otherwise I'd do lvl.
That's not to say if I had a big event I wouldn't have them again though

I’ve never had any luck with them. From the cheapest to most expensive salon I’ve found I lost too many too quickly to make them attractive or desirable. Also at the corner of my eye my Phil Mitchell eyelashes were too weak to give me a root for what I wanted
Often they are very obvious on others and that isn’t what I’m looking for either. I just want natural looking thick eyelashes ideally flaring at the outer corner

I recently got keratin eyelash lift plus a eyelash dye. Don't let them get wet for first 24 hours then a piece of cake, there's a clear looking keratin mascara you use. Enough to give me some definition without being huge and then add normal mascara for a night out. Lasts 4-6 weeks I find.

LVL Lashes are the business as a maintenance free alternative to lash extensions. Results last 6-8 weeks too. I love them
