Lilash Purified Eyelash Growth Serum Review

I must confess, when I first heard of Lilash Purified Eyelash Growth Serum I was a little sceptical. After all, how could a simple serum promise to deliver long, curled lashes after just weeks of use? However, being afflicted with short, straight lashes (my struggles are well documented on this blog!) I was also intrigued to see if the claims were actually true so I ordered an initial 3 month supply - LiLash Purified Eyelash Serum 0.10oz/2.0ml (half size) - and crossed my fingers!

If you are a regular visitor to ElleandMimi.com you may remember one of our very first and indeed, one of our most popular blog posts! We talked about our first experience of the LVL Enhance Lash Lift treatment from Nouveau Lashes. (click here if you'd like to see our initial review/description of the treatment and before and after pictures)

LVL Enhance Lash Treatment - Review

LVL Enhance Lash Treatment (exclusive to Nouveau Lashes) first popped onto our radar when Lisa Eldridge posted a video to her YouTube channel detailing her experience of the treatment. The results looked fantastic so we carried out some research into the procedure. Nouveau Lashes official website describes the treatment as follows:

'LVL ENHANCE is our revolutionary natural lash treatment that is taking the beauty industry by storm. Exclusive to Nouveau Lashes, it allows you to enhance your client’s natural eyelashes, creating the appearance of added length, volume and lift, without mascara or extensions. With a wide client appeal, the treatment takes just 40 minutes but the effects are instant and last up to 8 weeks.



Mimi: L-R Before and After

Being afflicted with the worlds shortest lashes (Elle) and the worlds straightest lashes (Mimi) we decided that LVL Enhance looked liked an excellent way to have semi-permanent curled lashes without the 15 minute battle with the eyelash curlers every morning! We searched for local beauty salons who offered the treatment (there is a salon finder on the official website), selected our favourite and booked our treatment for 5 days before our holiday. We were told that the procedure would take around 40 minutes and to attend the appointment wearing no eye make up.



Elle: L-R Before and After

A couple of days after popping into the salon for a patch test we excitedly attended our appointments. We were introduced to our respective beauty consultants who led us into our own individual rooms with relaxing music playing where the procedure was explained and we were encouraged to relax with our eyes closed for the next 40 minutes or so. After a busy week no such encouragement was required!

The beauty consultant explained the process at each stage of the procedure and while she was waiting for the solution to work we were even treated to a hand massage. Delightful! As well as 'lifting' the lashes a tint is also applied to give the impression of a natural mascara application even when bare lashed. It is totally pain free and we experienced no discomfort at all during the treatment.

We were both very excited to see the final result and once our eyes had become accustomed to the light we were delighted! Where there were once fair, straight, invisible lashes there were now dark, voluminous lashes that made our eyes appear larger and more open. We were advised to wait for 24 hours before getting them wet and we purchased the recommended clear mascara like serum from the salon to keep them conditioned and soft.

Now that it is almost 6 weeks post procedure we would safely say that we would both highly recommend this treatment for all types of lashes. Both of us have very different lashes - Elle has short, fine and fair lashes that take a lot of curling and require the use of waterproof mascara to hold a curl. Mimi has long fair lashes which are very straight and require 10 minutes every day with the eyelash curlers to try and put some curl into them.

You can see from the before and after shots just how much of a difference this treatment made for both of us. We were so pleased with the results that we have booked to have the treatment repeated soon and can see that this will become a regular beauty essential for us!

Fleur De Force for Eylure

We were so excited when we heard our favourite UK YouTuber Fleur De Force was bringing out a range of false eyelashes with Eylure! Now, we are by no means the type of people who wear falsies on a daily basis and we even struggle when it's a special occasion! Therefore we were really interested to try these new lashes as the ones we picked up are described as being 'enhanced with soft tip technology to ensure a completely natural and flawless finish'. 

Fleur has released four different styles of lashes but we could only get our hands on a pair of "Simply Fleur" which Fleur herself describes as perfect for those of us who have been scared of wearing falsies in the past. These lashes are very natural looking making them perfect for daytime wear and they have a fine band making them super easy to apply. They required no trimming and fit both of us perfectly as the lash length is not too long like some we have tried. They are so light and comfortable to wear and don't feel at all like 'falsies'! The range also includes some individual lashes and some half lashes we really want to get our hands on!

The Fleur De Force eyelash range is available in Boots stores now and the prices range from £5.25 - £6.95.

This is fantastic YouTuber collaboration so well done to Fleur in developing and putting her name to a really great and well thought out product. Can't wait to try the rest of the range! We will of course keep you updated on our experiences with the other styles on our social media!
