Do you dream of having beautiful, well-defined lashes? If so, say the magic word—Elleebana—and achieve the look you desire in the blink of an eye.

Lash curlers are a thing of the past. The Elleebana One Shot Lash Lift system is a fantastic alternative to eyelash extensions. It works ideally even for the shortest lashes and requires virtually no aftercare. This two-step process takes between 20 to 30 minutes and opens the eyes to give the appearance of longer, thicker, and darker lashes that last up to 8 weeks.

On Wednesday, February 5th, I visited Everlasting Salon in Golder’s Green for my One Shot of Elleebana with Tatiana Morena, one of the salon’s beauty professionals. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I rarely treat my eyelashes to anything special and often neglect them or pile on mascara for a dramatic effect. Thus, they needed some tender loving care. I conducted a patch test 24 hours before the appointment, which is highly advisable to check for potential allergic reactions to the products used during treatment. Unfortunately, I experienced mild skin irritation after applying the one-shot lotion. Thankfully, I discovered I needed a gentler version of the one-shot lotion—Elleeplex Pro Fusion lift and setting lotion.

On a chilly afternoon, I was about to embark on Australia’s best-kept secret on London’s Finchley Road. The salon was decorated with a big red bow on the door, featuring a clean, modern interior with a refreshments bar. Everlasting Salon offers an extensive range of lash, brow, and lip treatments, including Elleebana, recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities in lash and brow treatments. I immediately felt relaxed upon arrival, receiving a warm welcome from Tatiana. As a new client, I completed an initial questionnaire and was then escorted to one of the treatment rooms to discuss my patch test results and goal of achieving fuller, thicker lashes. Tatiana suggested using one of three hybrid shields to achieve the desired effect, and as I drifted into a state of bliss, she worked her magic.

Elleebana Lash Lift – Stage 1

Apply Elleeplex Pro Fusion lift lotion for 10 minutes.

Elleebana Lash Lift – Stage 2.

Lashes are lifted onto a rod or hybrid shield to keep them in place for 10 minutes, using a mini spatula tool to separate each eyelash.

Elleebana Lash Lift – Stage 3.

Apply Elleeplex Pro Fusion setting lotion for 9 minutes. Stages 1 and 3 make up the 10.9 method. Cling film is placed over the lashes to facilitate the setting process.

Elleebana Lash Lift – Stage 4.

The solutions are then removed from the lashes using a kidney dish filled with lukewarm water.

Elleebana Lash Lift – Stage 5.

A tint is applied and left on the lashes for 5 minutes before being removed with lukewarm water.

The entire process took approximately one hour, involving the removal of each solution and the tint application. Tatiana was aware of my sensitive skin and was extra cautious and attentive throughout the treatment. The following day, my lashes maintained their new look. I adhered to the aftercare guidelines, which included:

• Avoiding excess hot water or steam on lashes for the first 24 hours
• Avoiding makeup and moisturizer
• Keeping the area dry
• Avoiding shampooing eye serums on the lash/eye area for 24 hours
• Applying the Elleebana Elleeplex After Care formula daily to maintain the lash lift results and overall lash health.

Elleebana’s Lash Lift treatment starts from £45.00 and is available at over 7,500 salons nationwide.
