While I caution anybody for using these products, I myself am gonna use it,
because I'm gonna risk it. I'm not a lash extension gal but I do love lash perms
if I could go out the door wearing nothing, I still need to curl my lashes.
If you can see my lashes right now point straight down and usually I have to put
waterproof mascara and then curl my lashes, which is like the ultimate makeup
artist no no. This is Letitia from the future, just interrupting that this is
not just gonna be lash lift because as you can see this turned out so well that
we're gonna perm our eyebrows as well. The kit that I bought is from a brand called
silksence and honestly I think that most of the brands that are available
online are from China this lash kit comes with a four-stage chemical process,
lash glue, lift pads as well as cleaning tools. Other things that you need is
the saran wrap and maybe a spoolie or some kind of lash comb. You actually
start with step 4 first as the cleanser to clean your
eyelashes and eyelid and prep it for the application. I want to make sure I'm
getting through these lashes I'm using a lint-free wipe. So out of all the eye pads
they don't really explain to you what sizes that you should be choosing but
from my experience, I've had lash perms they tell me all your lashes are pretty
long so if you don't want them touching your eyelids you should go for a larger
curl. If you see from small to large large has a really large bump. Because of
my monolids they tend to be hooded and they hide the curl anyways so I need it
to like like really really sharply turn. Just picture large, medium, small. That's
pretty much how your lashes are gonna go. So today I'm gonna opt for the
smallest eye pad. It says to put eye pad under your eyes. I don't have an eye pad but
I do have medical tape. So apply lash glue. Wait for it to get tacky.
Don't blow on it. Not gonna blow on it, gonna be good.
Tweezer is definitely helpful.
This is hard. Oh no, I think my tears. Let's try that again. I'm just
gonna hold it like this. It worked. It's time to apply lash glue onto the pad.
That plastic tool actually really came in handy. I know lots of people that I've
watched have not liked it. I just spent 15 minutes, the past 15 minutes getting every
eyelash onto this eyelash pad. But because it's such an essential step I
really wanted to get right so now I'm ready for step 1 which is the perm
solution, then I'm going to apply saran wrap. Set timer for 12 minutes. Okay did
they all fall down? ajdjfiadioajef. So now I have to apply this, step 2 and then put
plastic film over that again. Saran wrap is so important. Don't cover your entire
eye because it kind of steams it and loosens your eyelashes from the eye pad.
It's a great way to keep the solution on and also to allow you to touch your
eyelashes and hold them in while you wait for this perming solution to set in.
This thing was barely holding on. Time to use step three which is nutrition to the las-
there is no point. Look how sticky they are. I'm just gonna clean
them it's pointless. Can't nutrition anything if I am caked
on with glue. Holy shit
you know I I think it worked. Now to do this all over again on my second eye, cool.
It's 3:30. I think I started at 2:00 or 1:30. This
is why people pay people to do this I don't know if I would apply the medical
tape under again it actually kind of inhibited my eye movement and made
things a lot more difficult. It's been infinitely easier on this eye. I feel like
I just got the hang of it. Sketchy! It just broke. I do not recommend this brand. If
you're applying something close to your eye with fragments of glass like. If you
have round eyes like mine applying the eye pad on a slant, so not trying to force
it into the inner corners and focusing more on the outer corners has been much
easier. It's clearly better on the second eye and you could tell from start to
finish that it was going to be better. I am very impressed right now I'm not
gonna get it wet or wash my face for 24 hours. Isn't it the first cardinal rule
of perm maintenance that you're forbidden to wet your hair for at least
24 hours after getting a perm at the risk of deactivating the ammonium
thioglycolate. Letitia from the future is here. I washed my face my lashes look
amazing. There's this whole brow lamination trend going on right now
and I really am not feeling it, because it's just very extreme, but I would like
my eyebrows to be a little bit brushed better all the time.
These hairs at the end are a little coarser and they are heavier I guess. The
reason why I do the lash lift in the first place is to keep this whole
routine as short as possible because I am so lazy. So if I could cut another
step in my makeup process I'm gonna do it. When I was doing my research I did
notice red flags because I felt like all the packaging of these lash lift kits
are like, in a very sus way they were all very
similar. So I think they're all made by pretty much the same manufacturer but
just rebranded. I looked up other brands that you can buy and I'm gonna list them
below for things that I think are less sketchy. I'm applying the lash glue to my
brows. So as you can see my bare eyebrows are pretty dang bushy I was given pretty
good eyebrows by my parents. I'm gonna brush these in the general direction
that I want for now and then trim it after. I'm gonna apply the perming
solution. A tip for when you're applying saran wrap is to always apply it with
your lashes and your eyebrows in an upwards motion because it helps push the
hairs, and then if you have to smooth out anything, smooth it out. That adds like a centimeter to
my eyebrows. So this is a step where I would shape them a bit more. Hey Siri, set
a timer for 12 minutes. Okay 12 minutes and counting
My parents are on their way to drop off some food, if I have to go out like this
I feel like my mom's gonna clock these brows in a second. Because she
always, when I was a kid was like you plucked your eyebrows too thin, and I was
always stupidly, was like, no they're not. They're not too thin. And now I look back
at my photos and they're too damn thin. And now she's gonna be like your
eyebrows are too damn thick.
Clean my brows quickly.
All in all I think this turned out quite well. The
eyebrows, maybe not quite my thing. I don't want them to be brushed so well.
It feels like they take more work to groom just to get them to sit right, than it
does if I were just not have permed them. I will absolutely
perm my eyelashes again. I will probably not perm my eyebrows again. If you guys enjoyed
this video, this quarantine has I mean I've experimented with so many things.
But you can check out my channel @letitiakiu and find me on social also
@letitiakiu. See you guys next time, bye!
Do you like them? Yeah.
You were just laughing at them.
Can I have your eyelashes? No. Give them to me.
I'll give you my one brow.
Thank you.
