Always On Fleek: Make An I-Woke-Up-Like-This Impact With Permed Lashes Under P1,000

For the past two years and until today, protective masks still cover most of our faces, so sporting a full-face isn’t as efficient and necessary. For us, ladies, the best way to still make an impact is through our eyes. 

In place of lipstick, rouge, and base products, the best “I woke up like this” look now heavily relies on expertly-shaped brows, bold eyeshadow, and preened lashes. The result? More and more women opting for eye and lash treatments and similar services like extensions, lash lifts, perms, and tints. All these quick, non-invasive treatments make your eyes appear wider, brighter, and definitely more awake. No mascara required! 

If you’re keen on waking up in the morning looking like you’ve done your makeup and all ready for business, Lash Wishes is one of the topnotch studios in the metro to get your lashes done. 

Best news: The salon’s lash perm and lash lift with tint services are discounted until December 31—with the former going for just P399 instead of P500 and the latter ringing up for only P999 instead of P1,500. 

Your natural lashes, but curlier

In the past, having permanently curled, lifted lashes from the moment you wake up was virtually impossible, but thanks to the rise of lash lifts, falsie-level lashes are now achievable. And it only takes one quick trip to Lash Wishes to get this on-fleek look. 

But, what’s a lash lift? It’s meant to curl and lift the base of your natural lashes using a chemical-based process. Think of it as a newer version of a lash perm that employs better techniques and formulas. 

Typically, after six to eight weeks, you’ll have enough new hair growth to need another lash lift. But until then, avoid rubbing your peepers or sleeping with your mug smashed on your pillows to keep your curled lashes in place and looking pretty for longer. 

Dark and dramatic

According to aestheticians, an eyelash tint’s the simplest and most basic service you can get, and is a good starting point to make your lashes appear more noticeable and thicker. 

This fuss-free treatment essentially involves coloring your lashes with a dark cream- or vegetable-based dye, creating a look that’s almost like a semi-permanent layer of mascara. Note though that a tint usually lasts for about four weeks so a touchup’s in order after. Just make sure you use oil-free makeup removers and creams around your eye area for a longer-lasting result. 

Coupled with a lash lift, which is perfectly safe to do in one sitting according to experts, this’ll make your lashes look more dramatic—like you’re wearing mascara without you actually having to painstakingly swipe it on. In our beauty books, that’s pretty effing awesome. 

For the first 24 hours

• Don’t apply mascara to your freshly lifted or tinted lashes. That’s a no-no. You can eventually add some mascara after, but not that you’ll be needing it. 

• Avoid wearing makeup thereafter, at least on the first day of your treatment. 

• Don’t get your preened lashes wet. That means staying away from saunas, pools, and beaches—so better book your sesh way ahead of your spa appointments or swimming trips. 

• Avoid excessive sweating, so don’t head to the gym or hit the treadmill right after! 

• Don’t get other beauty and pampering treatments or facials performed around your eye area for a full day. 

If you can’t be bothered to swipe on a few coats of mascara to primp your eyes for the day (tbh, it’s pretty cumbersome to take it off during the night, too), swing by Lash Wishes until December 31 to save over P500 on two of their crowd-fave services. 

That’s P399 (before P500) for their lash lift and P999 (before P1,500) for their lash lift with tint—two complete beauty treats for you this holiday season!

Chat with the studio ahead of your appointment if you’re a newbie or if you want to go through the process of their services one by one. Or, better yet, visit them at their branches in SM City North EDSA, SM City Marikina, SM City Grand Central, and SM Mall of Asia.
