Individual Mink Eyelash Extensions Giveaway! At The Spa Room (London)

Hello!

I popped down to 'The Spa Room' in East London this morning and treated myself to a new set of eyelashes. Its been so long since I've had my eyelashes done - since the lovely lady who did mine regularly (Natasha Embellish) had a baby (and so quite rightly needed to take time out!) 


I've had some horrible eyelash experiences before - I once went to a hairdressers in Peterborough who advertised them on the door, only to find an hour and a half later that it looked like a few spiders legs had been attached to my eyelids, sporadically (there were about 5 'lashes' hanging on there for dear life from big black dots of glue). Thankfully, 'The Spa Room' was a completely different, professional experience to this. The lovely ladies have recently relocated to Bow, to merge their beauty school and beauty practice together into one space. I was made to feel very welcome and at home when I got there. Nuressa explained the difference between mink lashes, which are softer and look more natural, and normal eyelash extensions, which seem a bit harder. This makes them perfect for daywear as well as when you're out partying at night!

In my experience, eyelash extensions usually last at least 3 weeks, (depending on the glue!) so we'll see how they hold out. But I'm extremely happy with them. Being a redhead with blonde lashes, they are virtually invisible most of the time, so it's nice to have fluttery peepers again.


Now - if you like what you see, and you live in the London area, I have one free eyelash extension appointment to give away! I originally bought this as a voucher for my sister as a birthday present, but unfortunately we couldn't redeem it and she won't be able to use it in time - which means someone else can. Thought it may as well go to some use if anyone out there wants it! :)

If you'd like it, just;

1. Either follow me on bloglovin or GFC :)
2. Write a comment below so I know you want it!

Must be booked by the 20th March! Original value £63 (I think?) Could make a perfect present to someone, or yourself of course ;)

UPDATE: I will be sending this to the lovely Estelle! Half a week on and mine haven't budged in the slightest - no mascara needed! Glad to report they're all still doing great :)  x

  1. Ugh, I wish I lived in the London area! I'd be soooo interested since I also have blonde lashes and need an extreme amount of mascara every day to make them existent :( They look gorgeous on you though!!

    1. Hey, thanks Estelle! I'm gonna sort out the details and send it over to you tomorrow as this is perfect that you are living in Bow! What's your email? Thanks so much for your offer too - you don't have to make me an illustration by any stretch but if you wanted to I'd gladly accept and wear it proudly on my blog! xxx

  3. Oh man, I'm from the US, so clearly that doesn't work for me, but wow they look amazing on you!
    I've never tried lash extensions before, but I certainly need to!

  4. I've never thought about getting eyelash extensions, and i've only ever tried wearing false eyelashes once- it was a disaster! I hope they were worth it, they do look good :) Keep up the posts!

    1. Thanks Robyn! Oh no, sorry to hear it didn't work out! False ones are much harder to wear than individual lashes that are applied. Whenever I wear false ones I'm always paranoid that they have fallen off/are halfway down my face! x

    1. Hey, thanks Giedre. I would check out KGBdeals.co.uk - there are often deals on in local areas, and provided you check out the salon offering the deals (just to be sure) they can save you loads of money and allow you to try it out for a lot less x
