The Lash Effect




Do you love lashes as much as we do? But feel overwhelmed with the colossal choice that's out there on the market? Well let us try and talk you through some of the very best options that are available right up your high street.

LVL LASHES

LVL Lashes stand for Length, Volume and Lift. This groundbreaking eyelash lifting treatment is one of our favourites, and a great natural alternative if you don't like the look of extensions, but still want a slightly more dramatic look. The cost of your LVL lash treatment will vary depending on where you live. London and other city prices will of course be higher but you can expect to spend between £25 and £45. LVL treatment is not painful at all. The whole process is designed to be gentle and relaxing and you should leave the salon feeling ultra confident and sexy with your new-look lashes. LVL doesn't curl, frizz or fry your lashes like perming often does, it simply provides a healthy-looking lift. Everyone can benefit from the LVL treatment but for those of you with beautifully curly but stubby lashes, you are advised to opt for extensions instead to boost length rather than lift...

NOUVEAU LASHES

At La Vie Joile we specialise in Nouveau Lashes. This leading UK brand is the ultimate in quality lash extensions and perfect to give your eyes the WOW factor.
Loved by celebrities They are the state-of-the-art semi-permanent lash extensions with each lash being applied individually. Soft and curved, Nouveau Lashes have a flat base and fine polished tip, just like natural lashes. Longer, thicker, natural looking lashes lasting up to 90 days (depending on life cycle of your own natural lashes). Virtually weightless and they don't clump like traditional false eyelashes. Darker than natural lashes so you won't need mascara (although if you wish you can wear a water based mascara). You can shower, exercise, swim, sleep and cry without worrying about them falling out. A full application of Nouveau Lashes will take a minimum of 90 minutes to a maximum of 2 hours.
Maintenance procedure will take around 30 to 45 minutes. Some Nouveau Lashes will begin to fall out in the first few weeks if they are placed on an old lash. Maintenance will make your Nouveau Lashes last and keep looking fabulous. We recommend that you have maintenance every 2-3 weeks if you want to maintain your Nouveau Lash extensions. Prices range from £75-£100 again depending on area.



MILLIE MACKINTOSH LASHES

Millie Mackintosh, self confessed beauty addict and London’s ultimate glam girl about town, has launched her own range of false lashes, and we just bloody love 'em. The range consists of 8 pairs named after different areas in London (Genius) As a make up artist, Millie knows all the tricks of the beauty trade and has been fully involved in every part of the process in designing her range. The strip lashes are made of natural hair, to give a more natural look so girls can imitate Millie’s minimal and sophisticated style. Another unique aspect is that the adhesive is latex free and mild on skin, meaning that you can sleep in your lashes and still wake up looking gorgeous. The quality of the natural hair also enables the lashes to be worn more than once.  Each pair of lashes is named after Millie’s favourite places in London, we cant decide which one is our favourite, we just genuinely think they're all flipping fab.




Happy lashing girls (& some boys)

Halloween

Here at La Vie Jolie we take Halloween VERY seriously. This is probably one of our favourite holidays... Any excuse to pile on the make-up and dress inappropriately is always a plus, although I'm sure some people would say we do that on a daily basis ;-o

This year we went as a dead baseball player, and what was supposed to be an Anime doll character, but ended up more slutty school girl, I blame the lower lash debacle.




We also had some little monsters visit us at the clinic, to have a spooky make-over...









And last but by no means least... We have our very own Queen of Hearts, she just can't resist the face paint 



Happy Halloween campers

Love

Kate & Laura
