Dolly's Lash Beauticom Lift Eyelash Wave Lotion Perm Kit - for Professional Curling, Perming, Lifting

Ok, I just finished doing this for the 1st time in my life! I’ve never had a professional lash lift, so didn’t have a ton of expectations. This is my advice and take aways: I have thick, very straight stubborn lashes, since I knew that going in, I left the perm solution and setting solution on for about 30 minutes each. I curled my lashes with an eyelash curler before I started and I think this helped because it wasn’t super difficult to get my lashes to stick. Although, I still had to use quite a bit of glue to keep it affixed to the silicone. I used the large form because it fit my eye best, with a little trimming, but I’m kicking myself for that now because I just read that the smaller the silicone eye form, the more dramatic the curl. I like dramatic! So next time definitely using the medium or maybe ordering smalls. It was about impossible to get all of the perm and setting solution off and that stressed me a little bit. Turns out that’s no big deal. I really freaked when it was time to take the form off and my eyelashes were all gunked together and still blue. I thought I had screwed it up. I almost got a wet rag to soak them because they were such a mess! Luckily, a calm came over me and I decided that I couldn’t be the 1st person this had happened to and that the saving grace had to be in the nourishing oil. I was right! With much patience, I kept dipping the end of a toothpick into the nourishing oil and separating all the lashes. This made the glue and blue gunk come to the top of the lash so I could safely pull it off without taking my lashes with it. Actually toothpicks were a must for gluing the lashes down and pulling them off the silicone, too. I also used a ton of q-tips! All in all, I’m pretty satisfied with my first run. It’s tedious, but not overly difficult. The instructions on box are pretty basic, but there are plenty of YouTube videos to help fill in the gaps. I would say the only cons are: took me 2 hours, start to finish and the perm and setting solution smell is pretty pungent (smells like a salon perm). However, so far, the good things far outweigh any bad. I’ll be interested to see how long it lasts and next time I’m definitely using smaller silicones for dramatic lift.

It worked great for me! So the hardest part of this for me was getting the lashes glued to the silicone pad nice and evenly and separated. My lashes just wanted to clump on the pad but the little plastic comb they include really helped with separating the lashes.My lashes are long and very very straight. They do not hold a curl for longer than a few minutes and they don’t curl evenly, they just clump. I’ve tried so many mascaras and tips to make my lashes stay curled but nothing worked. Finally I was going to go to a salon and spend $70 on a lash lift but luckily I saw a YouTube video with this kit and I was convinced to buy it. Great purchase!! It’s been like maybe 6 weeks now and my lashes still look good though I think I may have to do my right side again soon because my lashes grew and now some of them aren’t as curled. But that’s my lashes, not the product. My left eye is still looking amazing!! This was a life changer for me lol. I just wake up with lashes that are nice and lifted. I wear regular mascara, no waterproof needed. The perm makes them curl and mascara makes them look a little thicker-it’s just a great thing! I wish I had before and after pics but trust me, this works great!! Worth every penny. I even did my lower lashes using the silicone pad kinda turned upside down. I didn’t want to curl them, I just wanted them to lay a little flatter and most importantly BE SEPARATED because they always looked clumpy like they got into a fight or something 😂. It helped to give that doll lash effect by using it on the lower lashes. Anyway BUY IT. If it’s too much money go halfsies with a friend because there’s definitely enough product for two people at least. I did my friends and he liked it. Seriously it’s so simple and easy to do and it’ll improve your life so much it’s almost funny.

Updated review: I purchased this kit again July 2019 and noticed the solution in the pink and blue bottle was a lot thicker than the one I purchased last year. After using this kit as instructed with the max time suggested, my lashes were barely curled. Not nearly as lifted as the older kit. I thought maybe it was user error so waited a few weeks when my lashes flattened out and tried it again, this time with an additional 2 minutes on one side and 5 on the other (to test). I also tried it on my brother, same disappointing results. I noticed the glue has improved, it seems a bit thinner so easier to apply and remove. The nourishing oil also works better and makes removing glue quicker. The silicone pads are better than any other ones I’ve tried. You could also reuse them. I suggest purchasing it separately then trying the other cheaper perming solutions and using a thick oil cleanser/balm to remove the residual glue. DHC oil cleanser works very well and doesn’t flatten out lashes. For glue, you could use pretty much any clear false lash glue. Skip this dolly lash lift kit, it’s not as good as it use to be and still about double the price of others sold on Amazon.Old review: I love this kit! It took a while to get use to but now I can do both eyelashes within 45 minutes. I have used this kit about 6 times now and still have about half of the products left except the nourishing oil. I had to use a lot of it to get off the glue. The medium pads gave me naturally looking curls the large was too difficult to use. I also ordered a separate set of pads in small and tried it on my sibling who has shorter lashes and it worked very well if you have super thick, straight lashes that do not hold a curl well.The glue bottle gets “glued” shut after a couple uses so just make sure to wipe the edge and it helps to wrap a rubber band around the cap or bottle to help with grip.Use a lot of glue when sticking your lashes to the silicone. Once the pad is glued to your eyelid, put some glue on the pad and let it get tacky before flipping up lashes. Flip up a small section of lashes at a time so you have time to comb through with a toothpick. When your lashes are all flipped up, apply another coat of glue and wait until it dries before putting on the first solution. If it’s still tacky, the solution will make your lashes fall off the pad and it will be a sticky mess.My lashes stayed curled for about 6 weeks and I have noticed losing less lashes since not using a curler.
