Ok, so something I didn’t expect from having my lashes done with the LVL is that they would get thicker. Obviously not quite literally from the actual treatment, but i will explain what I mean.

Its been nearly four weeks now since I have had my LVL treatment and therefore four weeks of not using Lash Curlers. I genuinely am gobsmacked about how many new lashes are starting to appear. You can tell because new lashes appear shorter at the root, this is where they are at the first stages of growth! Now I understand of course lashes have a growth cycle, so naturally I would start noticing new hairs, but this is uninterrupted growth because I am not messing around with them so much. I have always had reasonably long lashes but I suppose looking back on it… the amount of curling I do with my blinking lash curlers meant that they were never getting a break and were probably never getting to grow back to their full potential.

Alongside this as part of my LVL treatment I have started using the Lash Conditioning Serum.

I decided for myself, before I started promoting it with my business I would use it for a couple of weeks so I could 100% understand what it was I was promoting.

Nouveau lash serum coats and seals each lash locking in moisture. This helps ensure natural lashes look healthy and shiny. I use it twice a day, once in the morning as primer before my mascara, and once in the evening just before I go to sleep! It’s also nice just to brush through your lashes it you don’t want to use any mascara! Silky smooth.

The more I go through this journey of LVL lashes the more I really appreciate the small things it does for me. Just the general application of mascara is so much more rewarding, it really does just glide on like a dream. Ohhhh happy days.

What are LVL lashes?

I definitely know some of you are thinking, excuse me? A what?

Over many years, I constantly battled with having the straightest lashes of all time, to the point where they almost go down instead of up! IT DROVE ME NUTS.

As a woman, we all want these glamorous, dark, long, CURLED lashes. I, was not blessed. So as you are probably be thinking right now, why can’t you just curl them with eyelash curlers? I do, and the process is long when you are as particular as me. I even went to the extent of buying corner lash curlers MAC bought out a few years back, but I was still unsatisfied. Even so, when I take off the mascara and my lashes fall back into their ugly state, I look like a boy. So maybe eyelash perm and tint? I live in Hastings, and maybe I wasn’t looking in the right places but I always got the same old response of, ‘oh we tint, but don’t perm.’ I ended up giving up. Perming is a slightly older technique now anyway, and I was always slightly concerned as I heard many tales about how it could give you this disastrous tight curl because the lashes were wrapped round this little curling rod. It just wasn’t meant to be.

Now as you may have previously read, I had my lash extensions done, which as you all know I loved, but the maintenance for them and not being able to rub my eyes just wasn’t for me long term. How was I ever going to solve this?

LVL lashes, that’s how. It is known as ‘The no.1 alternative to false eyelashes or extensions’ and have been raved about by celebrity makeup artists such as Lisa Eldridge and celebrities including Michelle Keegan.

As quoted from the Nouveau website,

 “LVL Enhance adds length, volume and lift to natural eyelashes. With no extensions, no adhesive and no mascara.”

Unlike a traditional lash perm, LVL Enhance straightens your natural lashes at the root. This then creates the appearance of longer, thicker lashes. Using the added lash tint, this creates a mascara-style effect, so your lashes are perfect from the moment you wake up! The treatment is ideal for those seeking a more natural look. The treatment takes just 40 minutes but the effects are instant and last from six-eight weeks.

Another amazing thing… little maintenance is required once you leave the salon. What’s more, by combining the treatment with regular use of Nouveau Lashes Conditioning Serum to nourish your lashes, you could be about to say goodbye to mascara for good!

As women, we always complain about how our boyfriends, dads, brothers, husbands all have deliciously long thick lashes. Have you never stopped to think why? They don’t abuse them like we do… they don’t coat them in mascara, sleep with makeup on, pick them. Why is it that we never think lashes should be treated like the hair on our head? If we went through life not conditioning our hair or do these Moroccon oil treatments which some of you love…it most definitely wouldn’t look as great as it could.

So think ladies… not only does this save you time in the morning.. Its also a perfect option for travelling, wedding day prep, brides, sports. Need I say more?
