It was a while ago when I first heard about LVL Lashes. I had seen a few pictures on social media, thought they looked good but didn’t know much about it and so I eventually forgot all about them, until not long ago. Jade, who has recently qualified in doing LVL Lashes got in touch with me and asked if I’d like to try them out. I wasn’t sure what they were but as I’d seen good results online, I was curious and so agreed to have them done.
After a 24 hour patch test, I was good to go and so I went round to Jade’s, who does the salon standard procedure from home. The entire treatment takes around 45 minutes and is completely painless and irritation free. I was comfortably lay down on a beauty bed whilst the LVL lash treatment was done with eyes closed for the most part. Jade then carefully carried out each part of the treatment and less than an hour later I had fabulous, longer looking lashes, without the hassle of mascara or extensions.
So what are LVL Lashes? I hear you say… First of all LVL itself stands for lengthen, volume, lift. The treatment achieves longer and lifted lashes without the use of glue or extensions. The treatment is said to straighten and lift the lashes before also adding a tint to create fuller and more defined lashes which lasts up to 6 to 10 weeks.
After the first 24 hours it is advised that you do not wet the lashes, rub or apply mascara to them. This was actually much easier than it sounds. I managed to wash and cleanse my face whilst avoiding the eye area and the fact that I couldn’t apply mascara didn’t matter, as my lashes looked great anyway.
Below you can see the pictures taken immediately before and after the LVL Lash Treatment:
As you can see, the results were immediate and I was so impressed with how my lashes looked, mascara free! I’d never had my lashes tinted before as I already have very dark hair, so thought it unnecessary. However I can certainly see the difference that the tint makes to my lashes, along with the lifting treatment that helped make my lashes appear much longer than they are.
I went away feeling more than happy with the results and I was also given an LVL serum, to use on my lashes. The LVL Serum (which I forgot to photograph) is a clear gel type product which comes is a mascara type tube with a lash wand. The LVL Serum is to be used morning and night, simply to condition the lashes and keep them looking healthy. I’ve been using the LVL Lash Serum for over a week and a half now (starting not long after the LVL Lash treatment itself) and my lashes have never looked better.
Since having the LVL lash treatment, I’ve been enjoying the comfort of going mascara free. However, on days when I want those extra long lashes, I’ve added mascara for an even bigger ‘wow’ look. Here are my eyelashes a week after having the LVL Lash treatment, with mascara on:
I’m super chuffed that I finally found out what all the fuss was about with these LVL Lashes, so much so that I’m already booked in for my next appointment, later on in November.

Were your lashes lifted and curled back after the treatment, or were they straight and lifted? I had mine done few days ago, and it looks like my lashes are curled up (almost at a right angle) and curled back, resulting in brushing/scratching under the eyebrow bone. Overall I like the effect, as the tint looks like mascara, but I would prefer the lashes lifted and straightened and not curling back.
