EyeEnvy lash serum

By | Eyelashes, Lash Care, Prép Beauty Parlour

Taking a break from your eyelash extensions during the COVID-19 crisis? We love and miss doing lash extensions at Prép… but we have just the solution for you!

EyEnvy helps grow both your lashes and your brows… EyEnvy is a lash growth serum that helps grow your natural lashes so they are healthier, thicker, stronger and the best part… longer! You will see results after 3-4 weeks.

How to use it:

Apply the serum everyday in the morning for the first 3 months. Make sure to shake the bottle a few times before applying, and wipe off any excess on the rim (you don’t want too much!). Next, apply one thin layer onto your lash line, and wipe off any excess off your skin. Repeat for the other eye. For the first 3 months, use it everyday in the morning and then every other day after the initial 3 months to maintain your results.  You will start to see results within 3-4 weeks of use!

 

Why do we love EyEnvy so much? We were one of the first’s salon’s to carry EyEnvy 10 years ago… we have had incredible results with it on ourselves and our client’s since.

Check out some of the results…

Mika (the owner of Prép) is currently doing contact-free home deliveries of EyEnvy during the pandemic! Contact us at 604-764-6452 for more information on EyEnvy and how you can purchase your own. We hope everybody is staying inside and staying safe. We cannot wait until we can be back to lashing away!

Lash Hack: Cheap Falsies to Wispy “Mink” Lashes

By | Eyelashes, Prép Beauty Parlour

The internet is always coming out with fun and sometimes quirky makeup trends! Like the silisponge, and chome nails! 

Recently there was a ‘makeup hack’ that surfaced on Facebook where a user brushed her synthetic lashes and transformed them into beautiful ‘mink like’ wispy lashes!

Makeup hack cheap lashes to mink | Prép Beauty Parlour

The video makeup artist Makeup artist Paloma Garcia shared had over 11 million views!

With all this excitement, we decided to try this little hack out to see if it really works! 

First, we picked a pair of falsies, we tried a few pairs, the best outcome were the ones that look a little more dramatic with either clumps or criss-cross patterns. The natural sets didn’t change much after the brushing. 

Second, we brushed the lashes side to side with a spoolie (you can also use a clean mascara wand or a brow spoolie), and then brushed them from top to bottom every so often to straighten the lashes out.

Here are our results!

So what did you think? Let us know your comments below and if you tried this hack, send us your photos to [email protected], we would love to see all the variations with different lashes!

Best Lash Retention Tricks | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Eyelashes, Prép Beauty Parlour

We say this all the time- the better you care for your lashes, the longer they’ll last! Of course, there are other factors that come to affect the longevity of your lashes. Such as the change in weather, natural lash at the end of its cycle and shedding, or the use of makeup. Some of these are inevitable. So we should learn to care for our lashes the best to our abilities! Let’s dive into how!

Best Lash Extensions Vancouver | Prép Beauty Parlour

Lash Cleansing 

  • Properly cleansing your lashes at least twice a day is essential to keeping your lashes healthy and long-lasting. You might be thinking… hmm wouldn’t it cause my lashes to fall out if I am cleansing them? The answer is no! The adhesive used is water proof! As long as you are gentle and using an OIL- Free cleanser, (see which one we recommend here!) It should leave your lashes looking clean and fresh! Not cleaning lashes leads to build up (especially if you’re a make up wearer! Which then puts extra weight on your natural lashes and cause fall out/ damage).

Best Lash Extensions Vancouver | Prép Beauty Parlour

Stop Getting So Many Fills!

  • We see a lot of clients regularly coming in every 2-3 weeks for fills, which is perfect for keeping lashes looking fluffy and full! But it is also easier for the lashes to fall out faster after their 3rd or so fill. We recommend you come in for a full set followed by 2 fills, and then getting a removal and starting over with a fresh new set! This way the lashes aren’t in different “cycles”.

No Mascara or False Strip Lashes! 

  • Mascara and falsies are perfect for a night out, they’re super fluffy, long, and just look so darn good! But! Mascara and false strip lashes are the mortal enemies of lash extensions. Not only do they put on extra weight on the lash extensions, but they can also damage the natural lashes very badly when being removed. However- there is a way around it! Extension safe mascara! (Check out our favourite go- to mascara here!) Extension safe mascara is lightweight and easy to remove. Making sure you don’t have to aggressively rub to remove ALL the product!

Magnetic Lashes [REVIEW] | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Eyelashes, Prép Beauty Parlour

PRÉP BEAUTY PARLOUR LOGO

Last week we asked you lovely ladies if you wanted to see a review and our thoughts on some magnetic lashes! We were very lucky to have sent some from TOK Beauty to test out!

The magnetic lashes come in a pack of 4- both top & bottom for both eyes, or in double sets. They come in a beautiful packaging and have a magnet where the lashes reside on. The TOK Beauty website claim the magnetic lashes to be “user friendly, cruelty free and all natural” (TOK Beauty). So what are our thoughts? Let’s dive right in!

“User Friendly” …

Well.. Not exactly. Although the lashes were a beautiful, wispy style, they were very difficult to apply because of how stiff the lashes were. We also found the lashes to be quite short and thus- didn’t fit completely on the eye (at least for our model!). We think that with more practice, we may be able master the art of applying these fun magnetic lashes!

Here are some photos!

Overall, we think this is a fun a cool concept for those who don’t often put on a lot of makeup! Just slightly difficult to apply. Perhaps if we get more practice applying the lashes we can get them to look much more natural! For now- we’ll just stick to our lashes extensions!

Have you tried out these magnetic lashes? What are your thoughts?

Borboleta | Prép Beauty Parlour

PRÉP BEAUTY PARLOUR LOGO

Borboleta has been known to be one of the top providers of quality lash care products, lash extension supplies, as well as professional and lash extension specialist certification. By becoming one certified through one of their classic sessions, we can assure even beautiful lashes than before with more techniques! We had so much fun at the training session and are ecstatic to be able to use our newfound techniques and skills into transforming your lashes! We are so excited to be able to use some of their famous products! One of our favourites? The Borboletta bubble! With this, we are able to create beautiful Russian Volume lash sets at the blink of a perfectly lashed eye! Just a quick recap, any set labeled: “Russian Volume” Eyelash Extensions should mean that it has been handmade and is composed of many very, very light fans. At Prép, we offer 2 types of lash sets that are either full or contain Russian Volume fans mixed with Classic lashes. For our Full Russian Volume sets, a fan composed of 2-4 (or more) lashes is attached to every single one of your natural eyelashes. We also offer a Mixed Russian & Classic set in which there are fans as as classic lashes (one individual synthetic lash to one natural lash). Russian Volume lashes are perfect for those who want fluffy and dramatic lashes, but personally have very sparse lashes. They create the illusion of thicker and more voluminous lashes. Glam! (We do not recommend receiving a dramatic set (Whether it be classic or Volume if you have very thin natural lashes).Borboleta has been known to be one of the top providers of quality lash care products, lash extension supplies, as well as professional and lash extension specialist certification.
