Fast Glam, No Fuss: We Tried Lavish Cosmetics’ DIY Beauty Range (and We’re Hooked)

If you’ve ever attempted to curl your lashes one-handed while balancing a toddler on your hip or wondered if your brows will ever grow back from that early-2000s plucking phase, then buckle up. We tested three at-home beauty staples from Lavish Cosmetics—and they’ve officially earned a permanent spot in our mum-life survival kit.

Meet the trio: the Lash Lifter Heated Curler, the Brow Serum, and the Hair Plumper. Together, they’re like your dream glam squad—but quieter, cheaper, and conveniently stored in your bathroom drawer.

Here’s how they stacked up.

The Lash Lifter: A Heated Curler That Actually Works

We’ve tried our fair share of lash curlers—from drugstore clamps to fancy mascaras promising lift—but Lavish’s Lash Lifter Heated Curler brings the drama without the damage. It’s basically a teeny, battery-powered wand that gently heats up to curl your lashes in seconds. Think of it as a hair curler for your eyes—but with less risk of burning yourself or ending up with one eye looking “awake” and the other looking “Wednesday”.

It heats up quickly (about 10–15 seconds), and the curved silicone head fits snugly against your lash line. A few upward sweeps and bam—instant lift that actually holds all day. No pinching, no pulling, no mascara smudges. Just perkier lashes, in under a minute.

Best part: It’s safe to use with or without mascara, and the compact size makes it ideal for your nappy bag or travel pouch.

Our verdict:
A total game-changer for tired eyes. Fast, safe, and makes you look like you slept more than 5 hours (even if you didn’t).

The Brow Serum: For Overplucked Brows (and Over It Mums)

Raise your hand if you were personally victimised by the 2003 skinny brow trend. The Lavish Brow Serum is here to undo the damage. It’s a lightweight, growth-boosting formula that nourishes and encourages brow regrowth over time. With consistent daily use, it helps bring back sparse or thinning brows without that crunchy, sticky residue some serums leave behind.

The formula is gentle and glides on easily using the fine-tipped applicator. The ingredients do the heavy lifting, supporting healthy follicles with vitamins, peptides, and natural extracts that work with your hair’s natural cycle. You won’t wake up with caterpillars overnight, but after 4–6 weeks, we started seeing new growth in patchy areas, and our brows looked fuller and more defined (with less effort filling them in).

Pro tip: Apply it right after brushing your teeth so it becomes part of your daily rhythm. Set it, forget it, grow it.

Our verdict:
Slow burn, strong results. Give it a few weeks and your brows will go from “meh” to “maybe I don’t need makeup today.”

The Hair Plumper: Volume + Confidence in a Bottle

Ah, postpartum hair. Or stress hair. Or “just haven’t washed it in 3 days” hair. Whatever stage you’re in, Lavish’s Hair Plumper adds volume where you need it and helps support hair health over time.

Unlike sticky mousses or oily serums, this plumper is lightweight, non-greasy, and gives your roots a boost that looks natural—never crunchy. It contains ingredients like caffeine, biotin, and castor oil to stimulate the scalp and support healthy hair growth, while instantly adding texture and fullness.

We used it post-shower and massaged it in at the roots, focusing on areas that were thinning or flat (hello, middle part). After a week, our hair felt bouncier. After a month? Less scalp peeking through, and more volume—even on air-dried days.

Our verdict:
Big hair, don’t care. It’s a styling product with bonus benefits—ideal for anyone needing a little lift (mentally or otherwise).

Why Lavish Stands Out for Busy Parents

• No salon bookings. Everything can be done in under five minutes, from the comfort of your home.
• Affordable. One-time purchase vs ongoing appointments? Yes, please.
• Visible results. These aren’t gimmicks. They deliver the goods.
• Guilt-free glow-up. Lavish products are cruelty-free and thoughtfully formulated.

Final Thoughts: Tiny Tools, Big Results

Lavish Cosmetics isn’t promising a full glam transformation (although that Lash Lifter comes pretty close)—what they offer is smart, efficient, everyday beauty that fits into your life. Not the other way around.

Whether you’re reviving your lash curl between school runs, growing out your brows while meal prepping, or plumping your hair before a last-minute Zoom call, these products are made for real people—especially the kind juggling 700 things and still wanting to feel like themselves.

In a world of high-maintenance beauty routines, Lavish is low-key, high-impact, and actually fun to use. We’re into it.
