Say hello to the eyelash vending machine, the greatest invention of all time

Okay, this is excellent.

Ah, 2019 – what a time to be alive.

I’m sure 100 years ago, people thought that by now we’d have solved world hunger and perfected time travel.

No, we haven’t come that far, but lads, we have come a long way.

In fact, this morning, I discovered one of the greatest inventions of our time.

Say hello to the eyelash vending machine.

Ashleigh Stevenson is the genius behind the lash vending machine.

Her inspiration? Over Christmas, Ashleigh’s business, The Lash Loft, was so busy, and she couldn’t take on new clients.

And so, the machine was born.

EYELASH VENDING MACHINE

The machines, which are a gorgeous shade of pastel pink, stock eighteen different sized lashes and shapes.

She has them dotted all over her hometown of Newcastle, and has plans to take them to other cities too.

Speaking about her brilliant creation, Ashleigh said:

“It’s been amazing, everyone’s loving them.”

“In America they have vending machines filled with cupcakes and all sorts – I was inspired and wanted to do something different.

“They would do so well in Liverpool and Manchester as big party cities like Newcastle, and I think they would be popular in London too.”

The lashes cost £10.99 per set (grand) and the machine accepts contactless cards and Apple Pay as well as cash.
