Oh dear, what have I started? I have discovered (well, not in the Christopher Columbus sense of the word, my discovery isn't new to the world, but still) eyelash extensions thanks to Jinny Lash and I have a lot to thank them for. I went in an unattractive shade of grey and my eyes hardly visible behind swollen black bags (I know, quite the feast for eyes) from too much candle burning. When I emerged an hour later, my eyes had reappeared and I looked awake and alert thanks to something as simple as longer lashes (even my skin was a lighter shade of grey thanks to the hour long nap I had while the lovely beautician worked her magic - talk about 2 birds!). With a total of 70 eyelash extensions put on my existing eyelashes, Jinny lash has given me the gift of looking better and more awake. I went for the natural look with each lash measuring 10mm - 30% longer than my existing lashes - so I don't look a fraction drag queen - something I know puts many people off this treatment. In fact, only the people I see daily noticed which works for my beauty philosophy of wanting to look like I just wake up like this (which I do, of course) and, to boot, no more mascara nightmares.
For those of you beauty diva's you can, of course, go as long and thick as you want - make a proper statement just in time for your Christmas party.
The lashes last 4 week, but you can go back every 2-3 to get replacement lashesfor £1 a lash. I can totally justify 10 lashes in each eye every fortnight - hey, if I can justify numerous après work drinks, I can definitely justify this.
It gets 2 thumbs up from me if for no other reason than not waking up minus eyes every day!!
