By releasing product reviews, we hope to make the buying process easier, by giving our opinions on great products. We have not been paid or given free products in exchange for reviews. This fall we will be reviewing Sugar Lash Pro and Blink Mink.

Sugar Lash Pro is a high quality line that features faux mink and silk synthetic product lines. The carry a multitude of things from adhesives, tools, lash extensions, to blueprints for the lash bed upholstery. They carry a variety of colors in lash extensions and the proper diameter sizes for volume lashes. Their products can be directly ordered from their site SugarLashPro.com. We purchase the faux mink bottom lashes and the faux mink 0.07mm C-curl lash extensions.
 The taper and texture of the lashes we perfect! They were delivered on time and we believe this is the best product we've used so far for volume lashes and bottom lashes.

Blink has an excellent line of adhesives and different lash curls and lengths. It can be purchased from its direct site iLashstore.com or from Amazon.com. We purchase the faux mink C-curl lash extensions in 11mm, 13mm, 15mm and 17mm as well as the Blink Plus lash adhesive. The lash extension we also of high quality and the adhesive was quick drying, low fume, and excellent for both traditional and volume lash extensions.

We using any product we are worried if our money was well spent, and in the case of using Blink and Sugar Lash Pro we are OVERLY SATISFIED!


Traditional Vs. Volume (2D, 3D, 4D, 5D) Lash Extensions

The Difference Between Traditional and Volume Lash Extensions

Traditional lash extensions are applied by bonding one lash extension to one natural eyelash and give a natural appearance. Volume lashes are applied by bonding one pre-prepared set of 2-5 eyelash extensions to one natural eyelash and give a more voluminous appearance. The diameter on a traditional lash extension (0.10-0.20mm) is thicker than a volume lash.  The diameter on a volume lash extension (0.05-0.7mm) is much thinner, allowing a healthy weight on the natural eyelash which promotes natural lash growth.

Below is an illustration that explains the weight and diameter of volume lashes:
