Renowned Blogger, Katie Snooks, gives a fantastic review following her Let’s Go Lashes treatment at Karen Betts Number 1 Harley Street, London.

“I am not blessed with beautiful, long, impressive eyelashes.  Mine are pretty non-existent until I whip out my mascara and apply a few coats, so I’ve always been interested in other ways of accentuating my lashes. After becoming a Glossy Box Ambassador I received two tokens which allowed me to receive a HD Brows AND a Let’s Go lash extension tatment which I quickly booked up with excitement, so that I’d be transformed and gorgeous for the Christmas party season.

I visited the Karen Betts clinic in 1 Harley Street to film and document the whole process of HD Brows &  Let’s Go Lashes extensions with Glossy Box, which will be online soon to watch.”

“The whole procedure takes around 20-30 minutes and is pretty straight forward! You and your consultant talk through the look you want to achieve with your lashes, whether it be subtle or striking.

I chose to have relatively natural looking lashes because I hardly ever wear falsies and thought it would be quite a leap to have full on false-looking lashes.

I love that you can hardly tell that they are false in the photographs (click here for photo’s) – they are attached so well and beautifully that they look so real!

What I think: I absolutely ADORED having my lashes and I miss them terribly now.  I felt confident to go out of the house with NO makeup on and I still felt beautiful – this was a pretty big deal to me who normally covers my eyes with eyeliner and eyeshadow in order to feel pretty and for once I didn’t need to do anything to ‘improve’ myself.

I will say now that I have never felt as vile looking as I did the minute they were removed, I literally felt bald, but you will get used to it.  I would have them again in a flash – but am giving my natural lashes a bit of a rest at the moment.  I am going to have them again very soon and think that the procedure would make a lovely gift as well!”.
Thanks Katie – fab, honest review!  See the review in full, with some amazing photo’s, by clicking here.

Thank you to all our fabulous trainers for attending the Nouveau Beauty Group 2012 ‘Train the Trainer’ event on the 8th/9th January.

Diane and Bridgette did a fantastic job and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their time at our Yorkshire Academy. As a company we believe it’s extremely important to keep our Trainers information consistent and up to date, giving them a platform to promote their own ideas on how we can take our products and services forward. 2012 is a real year of growth for the group and our training is going from strength to strength – partly down to our dedicated team of trainers around the country.

The two days consisted of various activities and team building exercises including a three minute presentation from each trainer on either a Nouveau Lashes or LVL Lashes product, a ‘practical’ session working on our brand new ‘Flare Lash’ (more info available soon!) and some live demo’s working with various products and procedures.

Diane Plummer (Group & Training Manager) and Bridgette Softley (Director) gave in-depth presentations over the course of the two days with two of our successful trainers receiving awards;

Steven Douch wins the award for ‘Best Presentation’

Steven is a professional makeup artist and is one of our lead trainers in the area of Mineral Makeup.  With a background in special effects makeup and a freelance career spanning nine years, Steven is a real credit to the Nouveau Beauty Group Training team – congratulations on your award Steven, your presentation was a real success!

Michelle Kendall wins the award for ‘Best Team Player’

Michelle is an elite permanent makeup artist and master lash technician and, as well as running her own beauty salon in Ludlow, is one of our most valued trainers.  ”When I was starting out in permanent cosmetics I never thought for a minute I’d end up working alongside the Nouveau Beauty Group, but here I am and I’ve never been happier!”.  Congratulations on winning Best Team Player Michelle.

Following the event, everyone met for an evening meal at the Burntwood Hotel in Brierley.  Great place if you’re looking for quality food in this area. The team bonded really well and we can’t wait for the next one to take place! For more information on our training courses visit http://www.nouveaubeautygroup.com

Lash extensions can create the most beautiful, wide-eyed look with very little maintenance. Just take a look at the stunning Georgia Salpa as she entered the Big Brother house recently, fluttering her semi-permanent lashes.

Applied individually to your natural lashes, semi-permanent lash extensions are virtually weightless, extremely comfortable and can you give a whole range of looks from the completely natural to a real wow factor for those special occasions. It’s easy to care for your lash extensions and you will receive an aftercare leaflet from any of our Nouveau Lashes Pro’s (click here to find your nearest Nouveau Lashes technician). When it’s time to have them removed simply visit your nearest Nouveau Lashes pro and they will remove them for you.

Products…
We also have a range of products to help take care of your lashes, like our ‘Lash Essence Gold‘ – the miracle growth for your lashes and brows!  This product promotes rapid hair growth within the eyelashes and brows and conditions the natural lash while your lash extension is growing out.
