If you read my blog regularly, you’ve surely noticed that I’m obsessed with lashes. I do everything to have beautiful and, above all, natural-looking eyes. As a result, I’ve tested many lash products – from mascaras to lash serums. In today’s post, I present something special: the best lash lift and lamination kits. Are you curious which product became my favorite? Be sure to read my ranking!
As I’ve mentioned, I care about making my natural lashes as beautiful as possible. I rarely use fake lashes – mostly for important events or parties. That’s why I enjoy testing different mascaras, lash serums, natural oils, etc. I often also use an eyelash curler to add some curl to my straight lashes. However, I do this reluctantly because the curler can be harmful to my lashes, but I simply didn’t have another option. Actually, I didn’t have one, until I finally found a great solution – lash lift and lamination.
Lash Lift and Lamination – The Perfect Duo for Beautiful Lashes
What is lash lift and lamination? Lash lift involves curling the lashes, while the lamination nourishes and moisturizes them. These beauty treatments are long offered in beauty salons – once known as a “lash perm.” Recently, they’ve gained popularity again, and the reason is simple – you can now do them at home.
This is no joke! All you need is to invest in a good starter kit for the lash lift and lamination. More and more beauty brands provide such kits, allowing every woman to become a professional lash stylist in her own home.
A professional lash lift kit contains all the necessary products and tools for performing the lash lift and lamination. With such a kit, you can do several individual lash treatments, making it much cheaper than regular visits to a beauty salon. Additionally, you save time – after some practice, you can lift and laminate your lashes in 30 minutes. However, the results are just as beautiful and long-lasting as those achieved in a professional salon. In my opinion, it’s definitely worth it.
Lash Lift and Lamination Kits – My Ranking
The key to success is, of course, the right, high-quality lash lift and lamination kit. Choosing a specific product, however, can be a bit tricky since more and more kits are appearing on the beauty market.
What should you consider when purchasing?
- Kit contents – Does it include all the necessary products for the lash lift and lamination?
- Product quality – Do the products contain good ingredients, are they safe for the skin, and are they easy to apply to the lashes?
- Accessory quality – Are they durable, made of high-quality materials, and do they make the whole process easier?
- Ease of application – Are the lash lift and lamination easy to perform?
- Results – Are they satisfying and long-lasting?
These are the aspects I considered when comparing the most interesting lash lift kits. Which products met my expectations, and which disappointed me? Find out below! Enjoy reading!
1. Nanolash lash lift and lamination kit
The Nanolash Lash Lift Kit is a professional starter kit for lash lift and lamination from a renowned brand that I personally rate very highly. The kit features an aesthetic design – at first glance, you can tell you’re dealing with high quality.
Kit Contents
The Nanolash lash lift kit is complete and includes all the products and tools needed for at-home lash lift and lamination. You don’t need to buy anything extra. In the elegant box, you’ll find three lifting products: Lift – Step 1, Fix – Step 2, Keratin Booster – Step 3 (30 x 0.5 ml). The kit also includes Lift Lash Glue (5 ml), three pairs of silicone rods (S, M, and L), and three lash combs.
Product and Accessory Quality
All the products in the kit are clearly labeled and numbered, which makes preparing for the lash lift and lamination much easier. The formulas are rich in beneficial ingredients like hydrolyzed keratin, lanolin, silk, arginine, panthenol, coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, and grapeseed oil. They are safe for the skin and have pleasant formulas, making them easy to apply to the lashes. The lash combs are sturdy and handy, helping you maneuver around the eyes and precisely separate the lashes. The silicone rods are soft and comfortable, and can be trimmed if necessary. The rich contents of the lash lift kit allow for up to 10 treatments.
Ease of Application
With Nanolash, you can achieve professional results with just a few simple steps. The kit includes detailed instructions, and tutorials are available on the brand’s official website to help every woman carry out the treatment smoothly. As I mentioned, all the products are labeled, so I knew exactly which one to use at each step. Thanks to the high-quality products, my lash lamination process was quick and easy.
Results
With the Nanolash Lash Lift Kit, I achieved fantastic results. My natural lashes were visibly lifted and curled, making them appear longer. This made my eyes look more open – I even felt like my eyes looked bigger. Thanks to the high-quality applicators, my lashes were perfectly separated, making my lash line look fuller. I also noticed that my lashes were strengthened – they were properly moisturized, becoming flexible and shiny, which I attribute to the fantastic ingredients mentioned earlier. The durability of the effects was also excellent, as I was able to enjoy my curled lashes for 8 weeks.
2. RefectoCil Eyelash Lift
In second place is the popular RefectoCil Eyelash Lift Kit. All the products come in a stylish makeup bag, which is definitely a nice touch.
Kit Contents
The RefectoCil Eyelash Lift kit includes all the necessary products and accessories, neatly arranged in the makeup bag. Inside, you’ll find two tubes of Lashperm (3.5 ml), two tubes of Neutralizer (3.5 ml), one bottle of glue (4 ml), a lash lifting tool, three pairs of silicone rods (S, M, and L), two mini cosmetic bowls, and two brushes. Thanks to the large capacity of the products, the kit enables multiple lash laminations.
Product and Accessory Quality
The products in the RefectoCil kit are high-quality, featuring pleasant formulas rich in collagen and cysteine. They do not cause irritation and are easy to apply to the lashes. According to the manufacturer, the silicone rods can be used up to 100 times – they also come in handy for tinting lashes using henna.
Ease of Application
The manufacturer claims that the lash lamination process with this kit takes only 13 minutes. This might be possible if you have experience with lash lamination, and it likely only refers to the time it takes to apply the products, not including the full preparation before the treatment. In my case, the whole lash lift and lamination process took considerably longer.
Results
However, the results were really good. My lashes were well lifted and curled, making them appear longer, and my eyes seemed larger. I also felt like my lashes were a bit thicker. Overall, my look was beautifully enhanced. I enjoyed the results for six weeks.
3. MIYA LASH Keratin Lash Lift Kit
The MIYA LASH Keratin Lash Lift Kit comes from a well-known and respected beauty brand, and the kit lives up to its reputation. It looks quite elegant and professional, and its pastel colors are a nice touch that I really liked.
Kit Contents
In the elegant box, you’ll find all the products and tools needed for the lash lift and lamination. The number of accessories is truly impressive, to the point where I sometimes didn’t know which one to use. The kit includes: Lifting-Lotion (5 ml), Fixing Serum (5 ml), Glue (7 ml), Remover (5 ml), five silicone rods, three Y-shaped brushes, five mascara wands, five fiberless applicators, 10 micro brushes, one lifting stick, and four pairs of under-eye pads. If you have a lot of experience with lash lamination, you’ll appreciate the variety of tools. For me, however, it was a bit overwhelming.
Product and Accessory Quality
The formulas in the MIYA LASH kit are gentle and delicate to lashes. They contain high-quality ingredients like keratin and botanical extracts, which are safe for the skin and don’t cause irritation. The nourishing serum included in the kit moisturizes the lashes, leaving them silky smooth. All the tools are solid and made from high-quality materials.
Ease of Application
I didn’t have any major problems with the lash lamination process, apart from the confusion caused by the large number of applicators. Each product had a pleasant consistency, was easy to apply to the lashes, and equally easy to remove afterward.
Results
The results I achieved were also satisfying. My lashes were curled, appeared longer, and slightly darker. The lash line also looked a bit fuller, enhancing my overall look. I enjoyed the great results for six weeks – slightly less than with the Nanolash Lash Lift Kit.
4. Brow&Lash Protein Reconstruction System Zola
Next up is the Brow&Lash Protein Reconstruction System Zola, which I found particularly interesting and think is perfect for beginners. If you want to try out lash lift and lamination to see if it’s a good lash-styling method for you, the Zola kit could be a great choice.
Kit Contents
The Brow&Lash Protein Reconstruction System Zola is a very simple lash lift kit. There are no silicone rods, brushes, wands, or other applicators in this kit. It only contains three products: Protein Strong Lifting, Protein Fixer, and Protein Care. The bottles are numbered, so there’s no chance of getting confused about which one to use.
Product and Accessory Quality
The formulas in the Zola kit are designed to work for both lash lift and brow lamination. They contain a microprotein complex that not only enhances the look of lashes but also provides effective protection.
Ease of Application
The Brow&Lash Protein Reconstruction System Zola kit is exceptionally easy to use. All three products are applied just like mascara. Each product works on the lashes for about seven minutes and is removed before applying the next one. The whole process goes smoothly and quickly.
Results
Unfortunately, the ease of application comes at a price in terms of results. The effects are not as professional or long-lasting as with other products. However, if your expectations aren’t too high, you’ll be satisfied. As I mentioned, this is a good option for beginners.
5. Fleeky Lashlift Kit
Lastly, I’m introducing the Fleeky Lashlift Kit, a cute, pink lash lift kit with a very girly design. It’s one of the cheapest products in my ranking, which is related to the fact that it enables fewer lash laminations.
Kit Contents
The Fleeky kit includes all the necessary products and accessories, such as: two sachets of Lash Lift, glue, three pairs of silicone rods (S and M), two mascara wands, two lash combs, a tool for separating lashes, and four applicator picks. While the number of tools is quite large, the product sizes are small, so the kit will only be enough for 2–4 lash laminations. Also, there are no large (L-size) rods, which may be an issue for some people.
Product and Accessory Quality
Good news for vegans and eco-conscious consumers: all the products in the Fleeky kit are vegan, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free. The products are gentle and lift the lashes effectively without damaging them.
Ease of Application
Laminating lashes with the Fleeky kit went smoothly. The tutorials available on the brand’s official website helped me out. The products were easy to apply to my lashes, and I didn’t have any trouble removing them afterward. The applicators were very helpful and practical, so I was able to complete the lash lift and lamination quickly.
Results
I was happy with the results, although they weren’t spectacular. My lashes were curled and looked longer, but I felt like they were slightly stuck together. Nevertheless, my look was well-enhanced. The results lasted for eight weeks, which was impressive. If the Fleeky kit were a bit more efficient, it would have ranked higher on my list.
Lash Lift and Lamination at Home – Instructions
Lastly, I’ll briefly explain how the lash lift and lamination process works. Of course, you should remember that each manufacturer may provide slightly different instructions, so it’s always worth carefully reading the instructions included in the kit.
Lash Lamination Step by Step
- Thoroughly clean the lashes (it’s best to use a lash and brow shampoo).
- Choose the appropriate size of silicone rods.
- Separate the upper and lower lashes using the silicone rods.
- Apply the rods to the upper eyelid with glue.
- Apply the products for lash lift in the correct order and for the specified time.
- Remove the rods after completing the lash lamination process.
I hope you enjoyed my product ranking. Do you have any suggestions for other lash lift kits I should test? Do you laminate your lashes? Do you have any favorite kits? I’m waiting for your comments! Best regards!
