From the moment Codilia Gapare was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, she started fighting, and then she started thinking…Codilia decided she wanted to design a range of lashes specifically for those who lost their natural lashes and from this, C-Lash was born!
C-lash is a strip lash with a clear, self-adhesive band attached to it to increases the stability of your false lashes. The band provides a bigger, more solid foundation for the lashes to stick to the eyelid and remain in place all day. With long-lasting wear, it is ideal for lash replacement or can be used by anyone who wishes for an easier lash application.
