Eyelash Extensions with Beautytrix

Happy Easter Sunday! I hope you've all had a great long weekend so far and are looking forward to the Monday bank holiday too! Today's post is about my eyelash extensions, on Wednesday I was lucky enough to be treated to some eyelash extensions thanks to Beautytrix. I spoke about their Flirties range before in a blog post, here, and although I loved the products, they are specifically catered for people who have eyelash extensions. So, the best way for me to trial the products properly was to get eyelash extensions.. and I did!

I cannot begin to tell you how excited I have been counting down the days; I have the shortest eyelashes ever, I don't think they have any length, and I just feel so bare without any mascara. I visited Layla, who is situated in Purfleet at Get Nailed & Fake It, for my eyelash extensions and she was so lovely, she went through the different lashes I could get, how they would be applied and what I should expect as the result. 

I had the option of lengthening lashes or volumising ones and funnily enough I chose volumising! Just because I thought if I could achieve a look without having to use mascara then that would be amazing, Layla also said these would be the most natural looking when the full set was put in. To achieve the volumised effect, around 3 to 4 individual lashes are stuck onto one of your own lashes unlike for added length, where only one false lash is applied to your natural one.

Here are some extra details about the Flirties false eyelashes. The lashes I got were the volume lashes, which are silk 0.07mm thickness and Layla used the 8-11mm in length. These are semi-permanent and because they are so thin (the classic lashes are 0.15 - 0.25 thick) more of them can be grouped together onto one of your own natural eyelashes giving the fuller effect.

These are my first eyelash extensions so I have nothing to compare them to in terms of price, feel and the way they look, but so far, I really can't seem to fault them at all! A full set of these ranges from between £60 to £90 because so many are used, around 200 individual eyelashes in total! You can then choose to have infills done, usually every 3 to 4 weeks, which cost around £30. This is to reapply and replace some lashes to maintain the full desired effect. Otherwise, they will naturally fall out in about 3 to 4 weeks which I think is pretty good!

I also have the products I was kindly given previously for eyelashes which should help to maintain the way they look for longer. This post is just a quick one about my experience and the results as I can't say much about the lashes yet, I've only had them for a few days! So I will get another post up about how I maintain them and how well and how long they last me. I keep waking up, looking in the mirror and thinking "I don't need to put on any mascara today" it's brilliant!

The process took about 1hr30, which probably sounds like a long time but honestly didn't feel like it, it was over sooner than I had expected and when I opened my eyes I couldn't believe the results!

A huge thank you to Britta for organising this for me, and to Layla (pictured) for doing my lashes!
