Eyelash extensions & Coconut ice

I LOVE eyelash extensions. I'm lucky enough to have reasonably long eyelashes naturally but I would still have lash extensions constantly if I could afford to! 

These are the extensions we offer at lkhair, check out the website for pricing. When I'm feeling particularly poor I only have a quick half an hour application, but this is plenty for me! The above picture is about an hours worth (each one individually applied). Once they are on I hardly even notice them, they are comfortable and reasonably soft, only word of warning would be if you wear glasses it's probably best not to go too long as you won't get them on!
I wear a liquid liner on my top  lid almost everyday and they seem pretty resistant to th No7 cleanser I use, although your technician will advise you on what's best, avoid oils is the main thing.
Paula Elvey is undoubtedly the best eyelash (and HD brow) technician I've used to date and is well worth a visit!

Almost forgot about the coconut ice! Every time I have my lashes or brows done I make Paula her favourite...old school coconut ice ! She says it's totally better than the shops! Not that I'm encouraging everyone to make her sweet treats when you visit, she'd be an elephant...

I also ordered more limecrime makeup from the velvetine range today in Pink velvet...super excited to receive it! 


Have you tried eyelash extensions? What were your experiences? Have you ever made coconut ice?!

Pay day treats!

I shouldn't be allowed to shop alone! I could possibly get away with 'needing' mascara, but definitely not anything else here... I haven't tried the Seventeen Gel Colour yet because I want to do a separate post to see how long it lasts. It claims up to eight days wear, but anything over three would be great for me. My nail polish never seems to last longer than three days tops.

This is the Seventeen Colour Switch in Lilac. I never expect too much from cheaper nail polish, so this was a surprise. It glides on easily and gives even coverage. The picture above is just one coat, It wasn't necessary to do another. This isn't a colour i would usually choose, but change is good! I like the fact that it looks mostly silver with a hint of lilac. Will let you know how long it takes to chip!

I'm not going to lie, I totally bought the (needed...ish) mascara because it's called 'miss manga' and it makes me think of awesome anime eyes! If you also love anime eyes you should definitely check this gorgeous lady's channel out here http://youtu.be/WC6WTQXere4 she also does rad make up tutorials.

This mascara is amazeballs, this is one coat, possibly my best random buy yet. Down points are that it is quite clumpy, I imagine after a few uses it will be difficult to get the same separation seen here.

The sculpting brow mascara is definitely something i need to work with more. This is my first time using any kind of mascara on my brows and i do like that it sets them in a shape, as mine are quite long (and in need of a wax...apologies!) I think maybe it would be better over my usual eyebrow pencil? Any advice on this would be great!

On another note, I'm thinking of getting the 'glossy box' once a month, has anyone tried this? Is it worth it or is there a better option to try?
