When I heard about NovaLash’s custom eyelash system on SheBlogs.org, I had to try them for myself. I have always considered myself to have nice lashes – but have always wanted a more dramatic lash line. Completely inept with the drug store stick-on lashes that my friends have tried out (believe me – many of them are inept at applying them as well), I’ve made myself content with testing various mascaras and eyeliners. However, I jumped at the opportunity to take these NovaLashes for a free test run.

Now – that’s PR copy, and while I hate to cut and paste, I agree 100% with everything their PR rep, Ali, wrote. The lashes are pricey – $400 – but for a wedding or special occasion – or if that’s a feasible luxury in your budget – they are worth EVERY penny. I went to see Angela at GlamourGirl Lashes for my trial run, and she was fantastic. She took about 3 hours to apply them (you’d never think it was so hard to keep your eyes closed for 3 hours until you have to!), and when I was done, my entire face was transformed – by something so subtle that I never would have expected it. The lashes opened my eyes, made them look bigger, and flattered my face, and you would NEVER know they were fake. That said, I saw some of the work she’d done for clients who wanted a more dramatic look – and if you go TOO long – it’s obvious.
I had mine done just before my wedding – and I am so hooked that I have been going back for fill-ins (you have to have the lashes filled every 2 – 3 weeks, and should have them freshly touched-up within a few days of any major event) ever since.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary full set of NovaLashes for review purposes, but did not receive any other form of compensation. My opinions are mine alone and were not influenced by the product sample.
