August 8, 2018Soooo I tried something new and it’s a total game changer. If you haven’t tried tinting your eyebrows or eyelashes yet- you need to!!
Taylor from V Salon in Chicago reached out to me about me coming in for a free brow and lash treatment. And honestly at first, I had no idea what she was talking about! I’m the WORST when it comes to eyebrows and eyelashes. My daily makeup routine takes like 8 minutes because I don’t know how to actually do makeup. So I figured this appointment would be a fun way for me to try something new!
If you’re like me and haven’t heard of these services before, here’s a quick rundown:
Eyebrow tinting makes your brows appear fuller and also helps shape them. I have naturally dark eyebrows compared to my hair color and Taylor was able to match the shade perfectly! They looked a little dark the day of, but the color faded slightly the next day and will continue to fade with time. Eyebrow tinting is supposed to last 3-4 weeks which is amazing! Like I mentioned earlier, I don’t know how to do eyebrows. I’ve never gotten them shaped before and barely ever touch them. This appointment made me realize how much of a difference eyebrows can make!! Check out my before + after pictures below.
Eyelash tinting and lifting is probably my favorite part!! I usually curl my lashes before putting on mascara every day, but this process takes away both of those steps! The lift process is basically a perm for your eyelashes. It helps them curl up and lift, which gives the appearance of having bigger eyes. The tint just makes them darker- which is perfect if you’re someone who has super blonde lashes. The best part is that you can wake up in the morning and be ready to go- even without having any makeup on!! The lift is supposed to last 6-8 weeks and the tint is supposed to last 3-4 weeks.
I mean seriously – WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! I’m low-key embarrassed at how bad my eyebrows and lashes look in the top picture (haha). If you’re in the Chicago area and want to get these services done at V Salon, I can give you a referral card for $20 off! Just comment below.
If you’re wondering what the process looks like, here’s a timelapse video! It looks terrifying but I promise it doesn’t hurt AT ALL! It takes about an hour to do everything and it’s super relaxing- I took a mini nap during it!
So would I do this again? Yes! This was one of the most efficient beauty services I’ve ever received. In just an hour, I left feeling like a new person, If you have any questions about my experience, don’t be afraid to reach out below!
