Alright, I'm back. Sorry for the small break! July started off in a rush, but luckily ended pretty well with the start of a stay-at-home holiday. I've celebrated turning thirty in London (a post about this city break is following soon!) and have mostly relaxed at home since. When life is usually consistently busy, it can be pretty hard to relax all of the sudden.. As strange as that might sound. By now I've pretty much gotten the hang of it, so I'm writing this on a Monday morning in the sofa, still wearing my PJ's and enjoying a nice cup of coffee.. Soundtrack: Sunset Lover by Petit Biscuit. Such bliss.
I also finally went to my hairdresser (check out his website here) again to give my locks a much needed chop and an even much more needed colour refresh. Recently Ben also expanded his hair salon with a privatised beauty salon operated by Carolien, so guests can now enjoy beauty treatments while their hair colour develops or after they've had their hair done. I opted for a lash lift while I was there - I had never tried a lift before and had read some pretty good things about the effects, and most importantly seen some pretty impressive results in pictures.

I've now had these for about 10 days and the effect is still going strong. The colour on my lashes has softened a little bit, but I think this might last longer if you don't wear and remove as much eye makeup as I do daily. The curl is still going strong and I have been going makeup free quite a lot as I love the effect. This is the perfect treatment to do during the summer, or whenever you're going on a trip and don't want to spend as much time with your makeup as usual. It could also be great for a special event if you're not much of a makeup addict and still want some natural looking definition around your eyes. This should be lasting anywhere between 4 and 8 weeks, I'll add a little update to this article with how long it lasted on my lashes when the effect has faded.
