Sooooo... How did it go? The Beauty Studio Service Thread

[danielledanielle]

I recently got my lashes done at a Sephora and it was suuuuuch a good experience that I will go back, get lashes again, just to chit chat with the associates there.

I narrowed it down to two choices:

Velour Lashes Effortless - No Trim - Natural Lash Collection Understated (I think)

SEPHORA COLLECTION Vegan False Eyelashes Charming    (obvs winner) ... Way nice and way nice price😁😉

They stayed and slayed. This was a four hour wear. It's $15 USD for the service + cost of lashes.  The SC lashes are very adorable, affordable and as my Syane (shout-out to Sephora Meatpacking) said, "they eatttt"

I highly encourage getting lashes, especially if you struggle with them.  I described what I wanted, and got tips and tricks that allowed me to do this on my own.

What I learned

1. Tapered out shape for almond shaped eyes gives you all the drama without overwhelming your eye
2. Cut the outside, not the inside so you don't ruin your lashes if you're new to this or just find it challenging
3. Look down when applying , which seems intuitive, but 9/10 I go straight and straight into the mirror.  Having a mirror and looking down gives me a higher success rate.

Also, I got in store goodies!

@danielledanielle Wow! Your lashes look amazing. I did not know this service was offered! The tips you mentioned are great! Sometimes I cut lashes in half (the ones that are not tapered) and apply on the outer portion of my lid. I like how you shared to cut the outer portion of the tapered lash. Sometimes I find they look too long on my lashes so I will try that next time. Also I didnt think to look down. I can't wait to see how my lashes turn out with these techniques!

I did try the Hydrafacial lip perk at SEPHORiA. It was my first time trying a treatment like this. I think it would be a fun treatment before  night out. I would just have to set aside time to do it.

I am looking forward to trying more services in the future! I will report back.

@danielledanielle  great idea for a thread! I'm so glad you had such a great experience getting your lashes done! I am planning to schedule a service at my local Sephora for the BI challenge bonus points, but haven't decided what to get done yet 😅

If anyone wants to check out my experience on the hydra facial you can find the link here

Sephora Hydrafacial face and lip treatment experience 

By the end of the treatments I could feel my skin more hydrated and glowy. My lips were a little more plump. 

All in all I really enjoyed my experience.  I didn’t really know what to expect but was feeling more comfortable that the station was more towards the back instead of the front where all the traffic was. I had a few people stop and see what was going on but it didn’t bother me. 

Final note, you are allowed to tip for the service at the end when you check out.  I was given samples before I left. Also, they do use the sample testers out on your face but with a spatula. You don’t know if people have put their fingers in it so that was the only thing I was worried about. Luckily nothing happened to me but just wanted to put that out there since we know the testers can be contaminated.
