Bejeweled: Liven Your Peepers with Eyelash Perming
Morning folks!
When it comes to eyelashes, I'm pretty much low maintenance. In fact, to put a more accurate term to it, I'm actually zero maintenance.
I do not curl my eyelashes, apply mascara or wear falsies - it's either I can't do it right or I'm just plain lazy. So for lazy people like me, it's definitely better and more convenient to get my lashes curled professionally by a beautician than to trust my own skills.
I was deciding between eyelash extension and eyelash perming but I heard from fellow friends that eyelash extensions are more cumbersome to maintain so I decided to try eyelash perming at Bejeweled instead.
The above picture shows the final look after I got my eyelash permed. Strangely, my curls from my right eyelashes were more pronounced than my left's but that's probably also because my left eyelashes were shorter and more stubborn in nature.
My natural eyelashes are long and I have been used to people going, 'wow, you have such long eyelashes!'.
My eyelashes point downwards though and can be really stubborn. I have attempted to curl my eyelashes by myself unsuccessfully only to have it point downwards again, causing mascara to stain my lower lids. I told ya I can't trust my skills!
At Bejeweled, they have 3 kinds of eyelash perms - the natural perm ($38), the classic perm ($48) and the princess perm ($48). I was recommended the princess perm, which gave me curls that fall in between natural lashes and very curly lashes. Apparently, very curly lashes do not suit me.
These were the products used during eyelash perming - a lash glue, perm lotion, setting lotion, nourishing agent, a toothpick and a lash serum to do the finishing touches.
Silicon pads in small, medium and large to hold your eyelashes in place. I was given the medium size ones.
My, don't I look beautiful? I'm kidding, of course. At this juncture, the beautician will proceed to glue my eyelashes to the silicon pads and begin applying the various lotions, each time curling my eyelashes using the toothpick.
I was so glad that a toothpick was used instead of some heating device - silly me really thought that my eyelashes were gonna get heated up like in a hair perm.
The process was entirely painless but I wouldn't say that it was a very comfortable process. I was actually really nervous because I didn't know what to expect.
It also reminded me of how my eyes were 'prepared' before lasik surgery with my eyelids being held by devices and I had to be careful not to accidentally open my eyes. There was a lot of waiting time for the lotions to set so I basically lied on the bed with my eyes closed throughout the 45 minute procedure while the beautician worked her magic on my eyelashes.
Finally, my lashes were curled. Hurray!
The curls were nice and subtle and I liked it that they weren't overly dramatic.
My favourite picture of the lot. I finally understood why ladies curl their eyelashes.
Curled eyelashes do give the illusion of brighter, bigger and livelier eyes, especially when your eyes are actually tired as hell in reality. It has been nearly a week and the curls still remained. I heard from the beautician that the curls would be able to last for 2 weeks till a month so that's great. If you prefer your curls to look more obvious, you can certainly top up with mascara.
Thank you Bejeweled for being my trusty beauty sponsor and for taking care of my physical appearances.
