It's all about the Lashes


Throw out your eyelash curlers, and your mascaras; forget about the early wake-up calls to apply your eye make-up - it is all about the eyelash extensions!

Today I treated my lashes to some Kat loving from Toorak Beauty Lounge.
It's always hard to find a beautician that you trust to do the best to keep your eyelashes as healthy as possible, but at the same time achieving the look that you are after. After scrolling through TBL's Instagram page (@toorakbeautylounge), it was evident that Kat and her sidekick tailor their treatments to each client.

Kat spent time explaining each part of the process to me - which lashes are being using and why (Kat used the C-Curl Silk eyelashes on me - as I have naturally straight lashes and a lot of them), the different lengths of the lashes (smaller in the inner corner of the eye, working out to longer lashes), where the lashes are placed, as well as care instructions (I will be sleeping standing-up for the next few weeks - just kidding).

After an hour of individually setting each lash (time flies when you are being pampered), I have a full set of long and lucious lashes. Suprisingly, their is no heaviness to my natural eyelashes; in fact I cannot even feel that the individual lashes are there. You are also given a brush, to keep your lashes always looking tidy.

A full set of lashes will cost you $150 (for either silk, arcylic or faux mink - be guided by Kat with your decision, as each individual's lashes will vary). Refills cost $50 (after 2 weeks of your original appointment, $70 (after 3 weeks), $90 (after 4 weeks) - anything outside this time frame would be considered a full set of lashes.

I've received loads of comments about these babies so far - and they are definitely worth the price.
In my opinion, I would rather spend that little bit of extra money on someone who I trust - and who that I know will not ruin my natural lashes, is hygienic, knows the proper techniques to applying lashes, and listens to what type of results you are after. 

Kat also offers eyebrow waxes, eyelash tints, facials - as well as a few very exciting new treatments that she will be announcing in the next month! Keep a keen eye on her Instagram to find out more, and for notifications of special offers.

I would definitely recommend paying Kat and her team a visit - to book an appointment email toorakbeautylounge@gmail.com or call 0405 963 877. If you are driving there I would suggest parking off of a side street (eg. Jackson street) to avoid a parking fine.

Looking forward to my next appointment!
