I've been lashed and I love it!

In preparation of Blogopolis this weekend (yes I am mentioning it again) I dropped into Lash Me at North Lakes for a brow shape n' tint and some eyelash extensions. I know this seems a little over the top for a convention, but I had been hearing about their new Cheveux Eyelash extensions and this seemed like a great time to give them a whirl.

What makes these extensions different is that that are made from human hair. I know this sounds a little Buffalo Bill (from Silence of the Lambs) but I have only heard great things. They are cruelty free, lightweight, finer than mink or acrylic and have a consistent curl.

My technician was magic fingers Michelle. She is so light fingered, gentle and is a complete perfectionist. I love that. There was not one unruly brow hair that went unplucked or one stubby lash that went unattended.

This is my before. I am kind of surprised how sparse my lashes and brows are looking in the photo. 

After, I only have a little eyeliner on. I can not wait to see how these babies look with some liquid eyeliner and shadow.

I love that Katrina at Lash Me is always on the lookout for the latest and best products in her field. I think she really knocked it out of the park with these. She has now opened up salons in Noosa, Melbourne and Sydney.

I received the product to review but I did not receive any payment to review it. I am happy to receive payment but I will always give an honest opinion.

High brow, low brow or just unruly

As you know I love a great brow. I recently had Lash Me make them over and they did a fantastic job, you can re-live that moment here.

Now, they have offered Redcliffe Style readers 50% off their brow package for the month of May. This includes Brow wax, sculpt, and tint. Usually $45 but now $22.50 for you!!

This is to celebrate Mother's day. But I think quite a few men can benefit from some light manscaping of their brows too.

Just tell 'em Rachel sent ya.

Lash me.....

I'll admit it, I have a slight addiction to mascara. I am not blessed with thick, cow-like lashes, so I love a little liquid eyeliner and mascara. Now, I have been released of my mascara addiction. What a relief!

Thank you Lash Me. I have discovered the beauty of Lash extensions. I like to think of myself as a fairly low-maintenance girl. I can see that Lash extensions might seem high maintenance. But, now I'll save myself at least two minutes each time I get ready. If I am going out at night, then it's four minutes every day. 28 minutes a week, two hours a month = I have reclaimed one day a year! How awesome is that? I think I will devote my extra day to charity.

Katrina is the owner and was my lash expert today. I think I have met my new BFF. She is so fun and makes you feel comfortable immediately. This was my first extension experience and I was expecting some discomfort or stinging, but nothing. I don't feel like I have anything on my lashes at all. Looking in the mirror, they look great. They don't look silly or too long. They open up my eyes and I look naturally just a little bit sexier, Grrrr. I'll definitely be making an appointment for my refills in 4 weeks.

Lash Me have been open at this location for around a year and has been so popular that they have already opened new locations (Paddington and New Farm). I understand they have some big announcements coming up soon, so keep an eye on their Facebook page.

They also do eyebrows, party lashes and make-up.

In the meantime, I am practicing fluttering my lovely, mascaraless lashes for my husbands Christmas party this weekend.
