With this month focusing heavily on enhancing your eye look with our Haul of Fame entrant from Eyeko, there was just one thing left to perfect – the lashes. Unfortunately, genes weren’t on my side when they were handing out long, luscious lashes. In fact, my eyelashes leave a lot to be desired: short, poker straight and brazenly sparse. This has always lead me to trying a million and one mascaras in the hope that they’d do something remarkable to my lashes – to no avail.

Thankfully, there are a number of beauty treatments on the market that tackle even the meekest of lash situations, so this month I decided to head to the experts at Lash Perfect to put to test the trendy LPL Lash Lift. This was the ideal treatment for me because, as much as I’d love an extra set of lashes, I’m too lazy for the upkeep of extensions. My attitude to the latter may also explain why I have never been arsed with the faff of falsies. I try (try being the operative word) applying these once a year at Christmas, find myself getting flustered and end up sticking my finger to my eyeballs. Never a good look.

TREATMENT OVERVIEW

The LPL Lash Lift is a professional treatment which lifts your natural lashes from the root, giving them a longer and thicker appearance that can last up to six to eight weeks. Think bum lift for your eye lashes, but much cheaper. Essentially, it’s a perm. But not of the 80s hair kind *phew*. LPL offers a bespoke service – thanks to uniquely shaped curling wands, results can be adapted to suit each clients’ individual needs. The wands are available in a mixture of thicknesses and can create either a natural C curl or a more dramatic J curl.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Arriving at the Lash Perfect Lash Bar on London’s Warwick Street, I was instantly drawn to the salon’s chic interior. Every detail had been thought of, even down to the unspoiled display of Lash Perfect branded mugs. It’s probably worth mentioning that I went to my appointment barefaced, but if you do have mascara on, the therapist can remove it for you. Once lead over to the bed, it was time to choose my curl. I’m of the awkward type; someone who gets anxious over making a decision, therefore I opted for something in between the C and J curl. When all else fails, go for the middle ground.

Now for the most vital part of a lash lift: closing your eyes. This may sound easy to some, because who doesn’t relish a mid-afternoon nap? But, keeping your eyes closed for 30+ minutes is no mean feat. The process begins by placing a rubber pad on your upper lash line before softening the lashes to ensure they are malleable enough to adhere to the pad. Using an intricate tool, each lash is pulled upwards and stuck to the pad ready for the solution. This felt a little odd, but it wasn’t uncomfortable.

Next, the first specially formulated cream is slathered over your lashes. The first breaks down the bonds in the hair, allowing for the new shape to be created. It’s probably worth communicating that this particular solution is potent. If you’ve ever bleached your hair, the smell may be familiar. This is kept on your lashes for 12-15 minutes before removing and adding the second cream for the same amount of time. This second step is the formula that rebuilds the structure and bonds previously broken down to ensure the new shape holds. Pretty clever really. It’s after both solutions have been applied that your lashes can be tinted. I have very fair lashes for a natural brunette, so I opted for the darkest tint available: blue black. This is left to develop for around 7-8 minutes and voila! You’ve got incredible lashes. Once you open your eyes you’ll feel a little delirious while getting used to the light and most probably relieved that you can, in fact, see again. You’re then advised not to get your lashes wet, or wear makeup, for 24 hours. You can also put your eyelash curlers to the back of your beauty drawer, because trust me, you’re not going to need them. The results are incredible, and you’ll be amazed at how long your natural lashes actually are once they’ve been professionally lifted.

IS IT WORTH THE COST?

A Lash Lift with tint at Lash Perfect costs £55 and considering I’m one to spend £25 on a mascara that does very little, I’d 100% say it was worth the cost. Six weeks of not having to wear mascara or accidentally pulling my lashes out with my curler? I’m on the lash lift hype for the long haul.

So, what’s been trending in beauty this week?

ACID REIGN

Beauty mastermind P.Louise has teamed up with Youtuber and makeup genius MMMMitchell to bring an industry first to the market; a Cosmetic Paint that provides a full coverage paint finish and dries matte within 60 seconds. The ACID REIGN Collection differs from P.Louise’s iconic original base in that not only is it a flawless base for product, the unique tear-proof formula doesn’t require setting, and promises to last all night without transfering. With six shades launching on the 16 August and a formulation that works for everything from a cut crease to a body art look, this launch is not one to miss!

YOUR NEW SCENT

This week, Jo Malone has unveiled a permanent new fragrance, which will be taking over our perfume tray when it launches in September. The Poppy and Barley fragrance will be available both as a Cologne and as a Body & Hand Wash, harnessing the “quintessentially British” scent of poppies, with notes of rose and violet and topped with blackcurrants. Originally part of the limited-edition English Fields collection, Poppy & Barley has been plucked from the harvest and spun into a supersized badge of beauty. We can’t wait to meet this new addition to the Jo Malone line!

RELEASE THE ANIMAL INSIDE

Chantecaille has announced the Africa’s Vanishing Species range, comprised of six Luminescent Eye Shades that will be launching soon in the UK as part of their permanent philanthropy collection that benefits environmental causes worldwide. These six new eyeshadows are each inspired by and named after a different endangered African animal: Lion, Cheetah, Pangolin, Giraffe, Elephant and Rhinoceros. The sales of the Eye Shades will benefit six different animal charities, one for each animal that the range line is inspired by.

LASH REVIVAL

Available now in Boots and Superdrug, Max Factor has just launched the Lash Revival Mascara and Primer to bring you fuller, longer and stronger lashes within four weeks of application. The Mascara is infused with bamboo extract, providing long-term care to nourish your lashes while adding length and volume. The Primer contains a unique conditioning formula featuring vitamin E and oils, using micro-fibres to add length to lashes whilst also conditioning them over time.

 

BRING THE SPARKLE

CMarc Jacobs Beauty is bringing the sparkle and getting us in the holiday spirit already with the Limited-Edition Lust & Stardust Collection, inspired by the glam rock era of the ‘70s. The Collection includes four shades of See-Quins Glam Glitter Eyeshadow, an All-Over Foil Luminizer and a whopping thirty shades of Dazzling Gloss Lip Lacquers.

For this month’s The Beauty Thread, we’re bringing all the summer vibes with a pool-proof vacay routine from our Partnerships Manager, Jess. Currently soaking up the sun, she will be talking you through her holiday heroes…

I tend to be the one in the office to have my ‘Out of Office’ on more of August than off, and currently enjoying a sunny week in Spain. I like to keep my makeup routine simple and natural on holiday, so here are a few of my favourite go-to products for getting beach club ready!

STEP 1

Although foundation on holiday is often frowned upon, it’s not something that I use liberally when in the heat; I don’t like to feel like I have a lot on, so I apply sparingly. The bareMinerals BAREPRO Performance Wear Liquid Foundation is THE perfect formula for holiday and the scorching temperatures! It’s light in formula and can be applied so naturally, seamlessly blending for a my skin, but better look. Even better, it’s SPF20 so a must-have addition for the holiday makeup bag!

STEP 2

Bronzer is essentially an instant face tan on holiday, so it’s definitely part of my go-to! The SportFX Performance Powder & Bronzer Compact is a new addition, but what a great one! I use the medium shade and it adds the perfect radiant glow whether you’re just adding a touch or going all out across the face. This also makes a great multitasking product; I like to use it as not only a bronzer, but for contouring, eyeshadow and brows, too! It’s always a bonus finding a bronzer that doesn’t sweat off. Right?

STEP 3

When only travelling hand luggage, you really do have to be selective with the many eye shadow palettes to choose from! When I’m not multitasking with a bronzer, and want something a little more special, I always look for a product that is super easy to use but gives something extra. That’s why the MUA Roll On Shimmer is a must – it’s the perfect pinky shade, and SO easy to apply. Top tip! You can even use it as a shimmer blush, or highlighter too!

STEP 4

When looking for the perfect liquid eyeliner to take away with me, of course it has to be waterproof – because most of my time will be at the beach and around the pool. Thankfully, this month’s Haul of Fame – the Eyeko Eye Do Eyeliner – ticks all the holiday boxes! So easy to apply, and featuring a really great thin tip, this liner is ideal for creating a subtle pool-proof flick! Don’t forget to and a little bit of waterproof mascara to complete the look – I’m currently using the L’Oréal Paris Volume Million Lashes in Extra Black!

A shimmered, natural, holiday glow and you’re good to go! Now all that’s left is to grab your favourite floaty and head for the pool. This awesome Sink or Swim ring was purchased from Amara. Get 20% off their diverse range of products when you build a box this month. Going on holiday? A fun inflatable would be a great choice!
