Review (5/5): A nice, all in one set
Everything in this set is clearly labeled, and most everything that you need is included. (I also used a dish to mix the dye, toothpicks, Q-tips, and some cotton pads.)
Because my eyes are easily irritated, I don't like wearing mascara for more than a couple of hours and started dying my eyelashes. However, this was my first attempt at a lash lift. Let me just say--if I can do it, you can do it!
If you are an expert at this, the directions on the back would probably be enough. I watched a couple of YouTube tutorials and found one where the presenter did this herself, which was very helpful. Because I was doing this to myself, I did one eye at a time, which worked out fine. Also, I didn't want anything too dramatic for my first time, so I used the Medium-1 lift pad; next time I might go a size smaller.
One thing I noticed is that the solution times for this set are longer than some. (Perm/#1--18-20 minutes; Fixation/#2--10-15 minutes; Black Dye/#6+7--25-30 minutes.) Because I didn't want to fry my eyelashes the first time, I didn't leave the solutions on as long. (#1--12 minutes; #2--8 minutes; #6+7--5 to 20 minutes.) One reason I think less time might be okay is that I dyed my first eyelashes just over 20 minutes, but for the second eye I must have gotten the dye a little too close, and my eye became irritated. I washed the dye off after only about 5 minutes, but both sets of eyelashes look the same depth of black several days later. The lift is also staying quite nicely and looks better than mascara for me.
This kit comes with supplies to do 5 eyelash and eyebrow treatments. Only using this for my eyelashes, I think I'll be able to do this at least 12 times. (And doing this only every 6 weeks, it's going to last a while.)
Finally, I'd recommend using Castor Oil as part of your daily routine. Applying it to my eyes/lashes once a day has helped keep them healthier (even with treatments) and has helped my lashes grow longer. Anyways, have fun!
