Finding a good mascara can be a lifelong project, or so it can feel. Another joy of getting older is that lashes and brows get thinner (which is the opposite of the rest of me!), and despite working from home, the ever-present Teams calls mean I’m even more self-critical than before. When I hear about a new speedy eyelash lift that promises beautiful, well defined, and longer looking lashes, and an eyebrow treatment that can give fuller-looking brows, I’m booked in for an appointment before you can say ‘eyelash curler’.
Elleebana Lash Lift is the world’s fastest lash lift treatment. Born in Australia, Elleebana is one of the world’s leading authorities in lash and brows treatments and is at the forefront of their evolution with its range of award-winning eyelash and eyebrow enhancement products. The innovative Elleebana One Shot Lash Lift system is the world’s fastest lash lift treatment. It is a two-step process that only takes between 20-30 minutes and opens the eyes to give the appearance of longer, thicker and darker lashes that lasts up to 8 weeks, providing much less maintenance than eyelash extensions.
Elleebana Lash Lifting uses a safe, chemical process to break down the disulphide bonds of the hair to redirect the lashes into a new lifted style. Your natural lashes are first lifted onto a perfectly shaped rod to keep them in place and then the 2-step product is applied for approximately 15 minutes.
On Finchley Road in Golders Green sits Everlasting Salon, with a welcoming shopfront and stylish salon within, and I meet senior therapist, Kelly, who instantly puts me at ease while she gets to work on my lashes. The process is strangely relaxing (maybe it’s the super comfy bed I’m lying on, or maybe just the fact that Kelly and I don’t stop chatting) but the time flies by. It’s not uncomfortable in the slightest and doesn’t sting (and I’ve done a patch test in advance to check no allergies). I’m so pleased with the results; my eyes look so much brighter, and it appears that I’m wearing perfectly applied mascara. Going on holiday and being able to jump in a pool without digging out my waterproof mascara will be so much easier, and Kelly promises me the effect should last for several weeks.
While the lash treatment is on and doing its thing, Kelly sets to work on my eyebrows. A specifically formulated perming agent is applied to the brow hairs. This solution helps to break down the bonds within the hair, making it more pliable and easier to manipulate. This is where a new shape is created, straightening brow hairs and incorporating unruly brows to create the final result of fuller and better groomed eyebrows. This sets brows into a youthful shape that perfectly complement the face, while also lifting them upwards, resulting in a refreshed and awakened look. This, combined with the eyelashes, is as good as any tweakment in my mind, as looking younger is often a mixture of smoke and mirrors, and a darn good beauty therapist on speed-dial.
