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!

 

Tagging some other folks to share their experiences:

Oooh you sort of read my mind @itsfi out of all the services I would love to take Beauty Lesson the most, I would be over the moon to learn from a professional and pick up a few tips and tricks, hopefully for my targeted concerns. But for real, learning to do a cut crease would be so fun. 🤩 

I feel like for me, I would try to book the service on a quiet morning when less people we're in the store, at least for my first try. It's a little intimidating to try something new but if it wasn't as busy I think I would feel more at ease. 

I appreciate you sharing your experiences, they sound like they were very enjoyable and rewarding, it takes some of the nervousness away 💕

This looks so well done @itsfi , how absolutely fun! You look darling, bet you were a hit! 💞

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, the makeup artist did an incredible job. I went into the store about a week before my appointment with a few photos to see if it was doable or if I was asking too much - the photos were more elaborate than this look - I wanted something simpler than the photos but still with the detailing and she delivered!

[danielledanielle]

I saw the pop up because I wanted to do "lunchtime lashes" but it was a no go.

These are great notes @itsfi , makes complete sense to use that field box that way.

Also, never thought of taking pictures of the products, I usually add them to my loves just in case, but this also rocks

[itsfi]

I started taking photos because it's easier to jog my memory and my loves list can get long very quickly, hahaha! And, well @danielledanielle, an opportunity to take a pic. 😂 I confess that I may sometimes arrange the products in a certain way. But I figure I did the arrangement and I consent to myself taking the photo. Ha! Oooh, I like the sound of lunchtime lashes. Have you tried any of the other services?

[danielledanielle]

I've done the Perk facial and feature focus @itsfi .  The perk facial was once a reward in the bazaar, so that's how I tried it.  It's was nice, I had no idea what it was at the time, but I remember the sensation of the tube and it was definitely interesting, but relaxing.

[CynthieLu]

This is a fun thread idea @danielledanielle 😺 

I did the Face and Lip Hydra Perk Treatment this summer for the first time ever. 

 

 

It was so relaxing and my skin felt amazing when I left the store. At first, it felt a little strange to have a service done right out in the open in store but my technician was really fun and put me at ease quickly. She made me feel really comfortable.

I would recommend these services to someone looking for a bit of relaxation and pampering. 💕

After the service I was given a sample of Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer 1.7 oz/ 50 mL  and a tube of lip treatment. 

I had done this service while on vacation in a big city, I wish this was available at my local store. It was something I would try again to treat myself. 🎁💝

My skin after was so glowy!

 

[Sunnysmom]

Didn’t it feel great @CynthieLu ?! I loved it too! How fun that you had both treatments! Nice nice. You look very relaxed and so cute! 😍 ( By the way, did you have to mention the lip treatment giftie or did they just offer it?! Mine didn’t. I’m kind of sad! So glad you got it!)

[CynthieLu]

That's unfortunate @Sunnysmom  from the sounds of it they should have. I don't have the box anymore but right on the tube it has Directions: To Be Used Over Lips During Treatment And At Home.

It was the same tube she had used on me during the treatment, she put it right back in its box and said I can keep it to use at home and keep them benefits from my treatment going.

[Sunnysmom]

That’s really nice @CynthieLu ! I bet the benefits will still continue! Thanks for the info. 😘

[danielledanielle]

Great idea to do it on vacation, @CynthieLu

Yeah, the perk treatment is out in the open, but I'm glad you had someone that made you comfortable.

[CynthieLu]

The Technician was fantastic, I really did appreciate her ability to make everything feel so comfortable and enjoyable. @danielledanielle I know I felt a little nervous trying this out, but I love that after it was over it's something I'd be happy to try again. 

[faeriegirl]

I needed to do a beauty service to complete the beauty challenge so I decided to do a brow wax. I was a little nervous because it was my first time getting one. I had a great experience! The technician was so good and it didn’t hurt at all. I think it was definitely worth $22 and I would totally do it again. 

[danielledanielle]

OooooOooooOooh, I wanted to do a brow wax, so this helps, thank you for the feedback @faeriegirl 

[Sunnysmom]

This is such a useful informative thread @danielledanielle , terrific idea! I have been debating doing either the lip or lashes and excited to try them. You and @itsfi lashes look sooo good! Glam glam! 😍

[danielledanielle]

I'm highly biased @Sunnysmom  (Lashes.) But, I'm sure whatever you pick  (Lashes.), will be fantastic.  Let us know how it goes!  (Laaaaaassssshessss.)

[Sunnysmom]

@danielledanielle I chose the lip treatment! Shocking shocking. 😆 I will definitely do the lash treatment before a holiday event as well! I almost did the lashes too because they both look so fun but didn’t have a ton of time. My experience was easy and relaxed as I went to my favorite, small familiar store and faces. 😊 The area they do their treatments is also tucked off to the side so you never feel uncomfy or conspicuous which I really appreciated too. My tech was very knowledgable and gentle and I loved the minty sensation of the product. My lips feel super soft and a bit plumpish even now and it’s been a bunch of hours. Not sure how long it will last but I loved it. I do have some small lip lines which is why I also chose this treatment and while I know they won’t go away I do feel like the treatment maybe helped a bit! She suggested doing it more often to see more results and I’m sure my lips would really benefit. ( Lucky guys who got their lip treatment products as I did not so I was kind of sad but didn’t want to say anything! Maybe I should? I dunno. I did buy something so I guess it was a good win for S between the treatment and my purchase!! 🤣). Also, challenge complete! Satisfying :). 

[Sunnysmom]

🤣 You’re batty @danielledanielle (lashes) and I love it. 😉😉 (lashes?) I may have to close my eyes (lashes?!!) and see what the universe brings!😘😘 (Lips?!) 

[itsfi]

Ummmm, @Sunnysmom, just in case you're having a little trouble interpreting @danielledanielle, I think she's recommending lashes for the Beauty Services at Sephora feature. I mean, I'm pretty sure that's what she's trying to say. 😂🤣😂🤣

Side comment, is it just me or are we missing a lashes emoji here? Closest I get is eyes emoji 👁; or technically, one eye. Which given how it shows up, looks like my sparse lashes before the lash application. 😄

[Sunnysmom]

I’m not sure what you even mean @itsfi ?! 😳😆🤣. OH, lashes?!! 🤣 You’re right! Why don’t we I wonder! 

😽🥸closest to whiskers and brows, but no lashes?! (You look like you have very nice lashes btw pre app!) 

[danielledanielle]

Yeah, I'm surprised there aren't more makeup emojis at this point.

Also the eye emoji could use a lash appointment 🤣 @itsfi
