This would be a great gift for my daughter❤ I hope it comes back in stock.
@@lisasmith4054 I definitely think it will!
Stylevana customer service is horrible! I have been trying to contact them about my lost package for 2 weeks now, still bo response... i guess i have to kiss my 100$ goodbye :-(
Thanks for this video. I live in France and wanted to test this brand but wanted to gather a bit of information before purchasing as the fees and customs can get quite high 😢
I'm so glad I could help! Which style are you looking at? I hope you find a good site to buy on sale!
Great video, thank you for making it! I have short Asian lashes as well!
Yes îs trully the best file..rezistent one.. the best best best
I feel like sometimes my vision is a bit blurry... not sure if it's because of this... or just a coincidence
@@jamiehensley4190 oh wow! That's so concerning! Keep track of it. You should take some pictures and write down notes.
You have such a soothing voice and a charming accent. Thank you for sharing your experience. Wishing you and your family health and well.
Thank you! You're so kind!
Great review but I wouldn’t recommend the brow serum on your eyes. It’s probably at a stronger strength I would do you research first. I just bought both! :)
Good point! Be sure to use a tiny bit when you first start!
Is the Stylevana site reliable? I will order from the UK, but most people complain that the products arrive too late or not at all.
someone else from the UK commented that Stylevana was good to order from! i order from the US and it was totally fine!
Just received a order from them today. I waited about 13 days.. ITEM sealed well. Will see if it works
@@TheEnveed what did you get?
Would be fantastic if you with your great capacity to do a review to come and test seruns without Prostaglandins. Thank you very much
Yes! What other brands do you know? I'm trying the ordinary one next with no prostaglandin!
@@Todayscuriosity Lashfood, Vegamour, Twenty/Twenty beauty, Reviv lash serum, Dr Sister skincare
Good afternoon. how about an equivalent model with a thinner handle. you can tell me your opinion about the model melodysusie Kanon(MB420C) Rechargeable Nail Drill 35,000 RPM. if you compare it with your professional drill.
Oh wow that is one of Melodysusie's nicer models. Based on the pictures and video from them, it has a centralized twist chuck mechanism for holding bits securely and centered. However, it is a rechargeable battery so it will slowly not hold a charge over a long time of use (like over a year?). It seems middle tier for a battery "cordless" nail drill. What do you think? Did you end up buying it?
No, we ended up buying Fox. There are very few reviews on the melody. attracted by the new motor and small handle. but I think it can be used from the mains and the battery will not be needed. but nevertheless, we bought the one that all the masters speak well of.
@@AlekseiPozdniakov which one is the fox? I love my saeshin bc it was recommended by the masters too
Omg so I accidentally bought the brow and realized the same…exact ingredients! Great Review Thanks Girly 👀🤓🫶🏼I’m 🇹🇭🇵🇷
I appreciate your thorough review!!
It took me awhile to warm up to Looxi. I had seen them around when I first started my single shadow collectors journey back in 2020. But because of the same negatives you mentioned, I didn’t take the dive until 2022 and then I was pretty much hooked. At these prices, and with what I received, I just felt like my complaints sounded quite weak because I was more than happy with 95% of the shadows I received. Nowadays I don’t even hesitate to order if I feel like I really want the shades. Some of their newer collections have been hit or miss in terms of loving all the shadows in the collection, . I keep telling myself I don’t need the whole collection just the shades I am drawn to but the problem is I feel like I may miss out on that fantasy unicorn shade😅😅😅. But now that I have so many shadows from the brand, I find myself more drawn to filling in y desired shades from their old collections. So I get so excited when they open their vault which can happen at any time with never a warning ( so I do stalk their website every now and then and it pays off tremendously). Out of the 15 or so orders I have made to the brand, I have had no problems with the orders being fullfilled correctly and all shadows arriving intact. I do give the brand a 30 to 45 day period to fulfill the orders and pretty much all orders have arrived within that window.
It’s been so hard to find a real review not influenced by sponsors and shows the real results
Seriously! No one really gives the reality! Have you tried it?
Can you do a video about prestogels ?
Yes, definitely! Anything specific you want to know?
@@Todayscuriosity yes! Would you go over a structure gel manicure with their system? That’s my main interest:)
i'm super interested in that too! i will probably do a structured mani with Kokoist first!
Melody Susie sells crap made in china…
You should try the staleks exclusive line
what do you recommend??
i like stylevanna but i dont like how slow it is to ship out even when they say it would be shipped out within 24 hours. it takes a month for them to ship it out and 7-14 days for it to arrive D:
yes, exactly what happened to me. i think one time it said all my items were in stock and then after i ordered, one item became out of stock and i had to wait 1 month before they shipped.
I really like Stylevanna, only ordered a few times from their site ( few more orders coming), but I'm concerned on how they keep their prices so low. Some people claim that it's because products are fake, do you think it could be possoble ?
What a dumb comment. Stylevana is an authorized retailer of many brands. It’s more likely to get fake products from amazon.
I see this question often. I think people worry due to the price and the fact that they ship from HK but amazon is definitely more sketchy! Stylevana can have low prices since they are based in HK and sell in high volume. I'm pretty sure they work directly with the brands they sell to get wholesaler discounts. Like Costco selling cosmetics you know??
@@Todayscuriosity I never buy any skincare/makeup from amazon anyway. I was shopping at other korean online stores before, like olive young, but stylevana has better pricing 🙂just wasn't sure how they kept prices so low. Thanks for explaining
I love Stylevana! Have made several purchases and received within a few weeks. I live in the UK. Unfortunately my recent order included an item which was out of stock, so im waiting on that! My overall experience with customer service has been ok, but when i attempted to contact them about this recent order, I've had no response!!! Nothing! Which i was quite upset about because every other time, they had been responsive. I do find that they dont answer your questions properly, and their answers seem to be a simple 'copy and paste' system, but i guess as long as you get the products, its worth it!! I may show my haul on here soon as i have bought so much and think its worth showing people that they are legit and not running a scam! 😊
thank you for sharing some data points for shipping to the UK!! Yeah, their customer service feels non-existent.
"The gateway drug for loving multichromes" is the most accurate thing ive ever heard about Looxi😂
honestly too addicting!!
I just ordered this product and came upon your video. I so appreciate your detailed information reviewing the pros and cons. I purchased the small tube just in case I had any severe problem. I'm older and am desperate for any improvement as I'm losing lashes completely in sporadic areas. I've stopped using a lash curler, changed mascara and started using a vitamin primer. Hopefully this will be the miraclulous addition. Thank you again for your video.
How is it working for you?? I also stopped using a lash curler and mascara bc it seemed like I had so many lashes fall out! But I also figured out I was using the wrong curler for my eye shape!
@@Todayscuriosity, it's too soon to notice any change. I definitely will let you know in a few months.
How did it go? @@susanlovestoplan

Thank you soo much for this in-depth and honest review!! All of the girls i see reviewing this have long eyelashes already and I needed a review from someone with short/ blonde lashes. Your lashes look amazinggg I'm so happy it worked for you I'm going to try this serum for myself.
glad you found it helpful!! i try to be detailed and brutally honest! Let me know how it works out for you!!
Props to you for doing these eye swatches!! So helpful thank you ❤
Yayyyyyyyyy 😊 glad it is helpful! My eyes were so raw afterwards haha 😅
I love the makeup, I bought this one, and I use the makeup everyday so far. I was waiting for many re-stocks, then I finally got it 😊
Wow! Yay! Glad you got it and enjoying it already!
ugh i really wanted to get the yesstyles calendar and waited for weeks till 4 am when the countdown went down to get it but after 1 min they all sold out. I think the yesstyles calendar is a scam and only influencer's can actually get it!
it feels like that for sure!!! i saw them post on IG that they were still making the boxes and packing all the items. seems purposefully inefficient??
@@Todayscuriosity is that so? I contacted them and they said that they arent making the boxes anymore :/ i also asked how many boxes they are putting out when the countdown goes down because its hard to believe they go out so quickly and they said they couldn’t disclose that. I really wanted one!
@@dalissaunkown2655sorry it sounded misleading. I was referring to when yesstyle was doing a restock in October and they were doing a packing on ig to do a giveaway. Why wouldn't it all be packed already? Also why so few boxes? All the items are in stock! Just need fancy packaging
@@Todayscuriosity ohhh alright i understand now! No worries! And you make an excellent point all the products are in stock already. I do believe they are scamming us and just putting out a few few boxes for me there are only 100 and smth reviews on the advent calendar which is so little! Im still going to try to get one next year im just so mad a spends so many nights awake just so i dont miss it and i still couldn’t get.
I got both 😅(I will however gift some of the items). Love this video!! Great breakdown of both calendars 🤩
I'm jealous! Gifting parts of sets is the best way to maximize value!! ♥
I was undecided, but diving in, I really do not need a zillion sunscreens and eye patches😂😂So I went on the Oct 3rd pre-order time for Yesstyle and it was sold out in 30 secs😅. But I waited later into night, tried again and they reloaded the site and i was able to BUY one, with coupons, I recd 20% off💜💜lol, what a night, I lost sleep over this.😅😅😅
Omg that's beyond crazy! Glad you snagged one after all of that! And epic that you got 20% off! I keep seeing so many upset Europeans waking up at 4am to get a YS calendar!
@@Todayscuriosity lol, that is crazy. I would never wake up at 4am, only to drive to the airport. I am in Canada, so not so bad...my time was 10pm....😄
Totally Agree, great presentation btw. What do you think the next level nail drill is?
♥ Thank you! Apparently, saeshin just released some new models that are cordless. It was launched in Korea first and now available on the US site!! It is over double the price (but comparable to other cordless models).
I’ll definitely pick the yesstyle one, it’s basically my wish list 😅
Did you manage to get one yet? Good luck!
I think yesstyle is the best too :) its also cheaper and the box is nicer
Exactly! I love the two levels and it is cheaper! Honestly I like the items more!
She move like a old lady girlll
Yeah, I move a little faster now with practice.
your video is very useful but tooooooo long
Haha im a beginner to RUclips. I'll try to be more concise! Good thing is you can fast forward.
Capping the nail tip really helps if your trying to grow your nails because it protects from everyday wearing down of the nail tip edge 😊
Are you a nail tech? 1st of all you don't shimmy, it's thin smooth strokes. 2nd of all. You do not want the polish all the up to the cuticle, that's what causes lifting.
I'm not a nail tech. Just sharing the tips that work for me. The shimmy is just for the first base layer. I don't polish all the way to my cuticle and flood it but I'm sure that's obvious.
👌🏿💅🏾🌸 Thankyouuuuuu so Much! I followed EVERYTHING you demonstrated!
YAY~~ let me know how well it wears!
It is no need primer gel.?
If no primer the gel will come off In the next 30 minutes.
@@chinga7264 I used base gel and it stayed on for over 2 weeks. See my video for products.
I don't use it because I prep my nails really well. Some people like to use primer!
@@Todayscuriosity thank you
How long does it stay on before it starts to peel or lift or even cracking ? It should last 7 to 14 days. It definitely depends on how you do it. I love to see when people prep there nails and then one finger slides over the other one. Your hands have a lot of oil on them constantly.🥰🙋♀️
Yes exactly! With meticulous prep, I can get more than 4 weeks with little to no lifting. You can still get lift on fingers that overly flex like my index fingers and from the pressure of using tools like pens.
Nice job:)👍🤗
Love my glass files
I’m working at a nail salon and we charge 35$ for gel mani but honsetly I don’t understand why people don’t do their nails at home
I think the product and equipment investment is large. For me it is extremely difficult to paint my dominant hand. Also the lack of education on how to do nail enhancements has increased misuse and development of allergies!
Because nobody was taught how to do their own nails without it chipping
Great tutorial! What do you use to remove the gel?
just pure acetone and foil! i have a removal video up!
Wonderful - thank you!
this was really helpful! thank you bunches :)
Love venalisa great video,tyfs
hello, nice video, I also often buy Venalisa products, they are excellent, but the Matt top coat is not at all durable, I highly recommend the gel transfer for foils, which is also excellent for attaching glitter, bye from Italy 😉
Good to know! I also agree about the matte top coat! I use it for chrome pen art only.
I love Venalisa products. I’ve been wanting to try the nail glue 😄 thanks for sharing.
Great video 💕
Once you cured your nails did they feel sticky, and did they cure all the way with the lamp? I have the same lamp and I have the OPI gel and I bought another lamp because I thought the wattage might be the problem but I still found it sticky. do you have any tips on how to stop that from happening? thanks!
The stickiness is normal! It is a layer of uncured gel called the inhibition layer. The top layer of gel is inhibited because it is exposed to oxygen in the air. When you brush on another coat of gel, that inhibition layer cures. But what about the last coat? That is why you have to take a wipe with 91% isopropyl alcohol and wipe it off at the end. Some brands make a "no wipe" top coat now!
Duh
