Time for a good old Lowdown and today its about the 1000 Hour eyelash and brow dye kit. I was a few days prior leaving for my Bali trip and decided to pick up one of these kits to see if it would make my invisible eyelashes more prominent, as I knew makeup would sweat off over there and I would be doing a lot of swimming whilst on holiday. I chose the colour natural black, as I thought it would be the best colour for my lashes compared to the other options at my local Priceline, charcoal and blue black.
The pack came with the dye, a developer liquid and a little mixing tray and tool. I mixed the two products together before using one of my own disposable mascara wands from my makeup kit to apply the product to my lashes.
The first thing I noticed was that this product does definitely sting, It states on the box that this is a normal reaction so I wasn't worried and persisted with the application, although I would be weary of trying out this product if you have sensitive eyes. I waited 20 minutes and noticed some of the dye staining around my eyes- should have payed attention to the instructions about applying vaseline prior but whoopsie. I then rinsed my eyes under the sink and observed the results;
It may look like the brightness has changed in the after photo although I was in the process of developing a fake tan, so the results are very true to colour. Being a fan of dramatic lashes myself I wasn't super excited about the results although I could definitely see a difference. I can say that it was nice having slightly darker lashes while I was in the pool or snorkelling whilst on holiday, although I'm not totally sure if for me personally its worth the money or hassle.
Pros
- Easy Application Process
- 12 six - week applications for $18.99
- Can apply in the comfort of your own home
- Great for those who want to enhance their lashes
Cons
- Very subtle difference
- Irritates the eyes
I can definitely see why this product would be such a hit for those who want to tint their brows or lashes at a fraction of the cost, although for myself I think the result is a little too natural. I want to try out the blue black dye in the range next as I feel that would really make my lashes pop, and give me that look I'm after. Overall testing out the 1000 hour eyelash and brow dye kit was an enjoyable experience, and the simple application process plus the amount of product you get for the price definitely makes the kit worth it.
Thanks so much for reading and do let me know if you have tried this product!
