Let's Talk Lashes
As the world paused and we found ourselves tucked away at home, something magical (or maybe a little challenging) happened – our beauty routines transformed.
Locked inside, many of us said goodbye to our beloved lash appointments, waving a temporary farewell to those lush extensions. Instead, we got up close and personal with the 'au natural' side of us. With the world spinning back into motion, has our love for faux and fancy lashes returned? Or did the lockdown introduce us to a new love for our natural lash line? Grab your favourite mascara wand, and let's dive deep!
Embracing Natural Beauty
Lockdown gave us a peek into a mirror where no frills or added enhancements were needed. It was like suddenly realising that our unadorned self is as beautiful as a sunflower swaying in the wind – no filters needed. It's the era of raw beauty, and the more we saw it, the more we loved it.
The Rise of Lash Serums
The absence of lash appointments had a silver lining – hello, lash serums! These little magic bottles quickly rose to bestseller lists. Imagine watering a plant consistently; that's what these serums did to our lashes. They flourished in length and thickness. For many, it was an 'aha!' moment – perhaps those regular lash extensions weren't needed after all.
Zen-Spa, Lashes: A New Perspective
Zen-Spa introduced a holistic approach to beauty, merging relaxation with self-care. Their perspective on lashes isn't just about appearance; it's about feeling rejuvenated and refreshed from within. Remember, when you feel good, you naturally look good!
The Shift to Natural Makeup
Post-lockdown, the trend isn't just about flaunting natural lashes but also pairing them with natural makeup. It's like pairing a good book with a comforting cup of tea; they both enhance each other's essence.
Classic Lashes: The New Glam
If extensions had to make a comeback, it's in their simplest form – classic lashes. These are the little black dress of the lash world – timeless, elegant, and always in trend.
Lash Lift & Tint: The Secret Sauce
This treatment is the 'avocado toast' of the beauty world right now – straightforward, effective, and gives instant results. It often replicates the illusion of classic lashes, especially when combined with a regular lash serum regime.
Combining Serums with Other Treatments
Marrying the regular use of lash serums with treatments like Lash Lift & Tint is like putting the icing on the cake. It simply accentuates and holds the beauty that's already there.
Saving Time and Embracing Efficiency
Time's a luxury! Reducing our reliance on frequent lash appointments saves us time and promotes healthier lash growth in the long run.
The Environmental Angle
Fewer appointments mean fewer products used, resulting in less waste. So, by embracing our natural lashes, we're indirectly taking a green step!
A New Dawn for Lash Lovers
The world of lashes is evolving, and there's a seat for everyone, whether you're a fan of extensions, serums, or just good ol' mascara.
In Conclusion
The lockdown might have made us redefine beauty standards, but it also made us realise the importance of embracing and enhancing our natural selves. Whether with the help of serums, treatments, or just leaving them be, our lashes have their own story to tell.
