Regular readers will know I’m addicted to Ballroom and Latin dancing. And of course competitive dance is a performance sport – meaning dress, hair and makeup are super important. But, dancing or not, you can never have too much glam in your life. If you look good, you feel good and if you feel good, you live your best life.
Consequently I’m forever seeking better products – miracle-workers are particularly welcome – and I’m bursting to tell you about LZRD Lash, created by transgender model and business woman, Zii Lizard.
Zii Lizard is a rather special person. She was separated from parents and family at just 14 yrs old, when she moved from Thailand to Belfast, where, on top of dealing with a deep personal journey, she was also faced with a foreign language. They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and, after grappling with the realisation of her true self, Zii has emerged as a beautiful individual, inside and out. She tells me that LZRD Lash, a vegan, eco-conscious, sustainable all-gender lash brand is more than just a business, because it embraces her values and celebrates self-expression and her personal transformation. She’s passionate to show that beauty has no rules and that everyone deserves to feel seen.
I’m blown away by the LZRD Lash range of both strip lashes and individual cluster lash sets – all designed to be easily self-applied at home. With 30 different styles, there really is a strip lash for everyone and every occasion, from every day pretty to red carpet super glam. A beginner can feel overwhelmed when confronted with an array of different false lashes but fear not, Zii provides excellent web-site guidance on choosing the most suitable lashes and how to apply them. I love her eye-shape guide, and that the lashes are categorised by style and occasion too. Each lash advises for which eye-shapes they work best. Zii’s blog and LZRD Instagram also have useful advice on application and maintenance, fashion trends and much more.
My personal experience with LZRD Lash was first class. In all honesty I’ve never experienced such amazing quality lashes. Normally I struggle not to damage flimsy lashes as I extract them from their box. Not so with LZRD Lash lashes – the adhesive fixing them in their box was only attached to a small spot at each end, making removal easy. They were beautifully soft and light and yet maintained their shape perfectly throughout application. The cute pink Hold It Hottie lash applicator was perfectly aligned, holding the lashes firmly but gently, and the vegan, latex-free and cruelty-free Let’s Glue This strip lash glue was rapidly effective, and easy to remove afterwards.
Zii had chosen three lashes which would both complement my eye shape and look spectacular during my dance competitions. I admit to having felt slightly apprehensive when I first saw them, they were longer and thicker than I would normally dare wear, but once in place I was thrilled. They were very comfortable and looked absolutely stunning – no, I looked absolutely stunning – thank you Zii. You showed me that it’s safe to make bolder choices. In the photo below I’m wearing Celebrity. Glamour Queen and Giving Everything were two further great suggestions from Zii.
So if you have a special event to attend, or you just want to feel great about yourself, I would totally recommend LZRD Lashes. Prices are generally between £4 to £5 – excellent value for such high-quality lashes, but do check out the clearance items too for some great bargains. For MUAs there are generous professional discounts too.
In fact, why not go to the LZRD Lash website right now? It’s the moment to start being your best self.
