Posted on by

During the Holiday season there are many different things to indulge our senses. From the scent of pine, that reminds of (real) Christmas trees to the sound of carols playing over stores’ loud speakers…I have come up with some gift ideas for each of the 5 senses.

New: 1000 Hour Lashes Day to night packs

Posted on by

Spring is my favourite season in terms of fashion and beauty and while natural makeup looks are great, sometimes you just want to be a little more adventurous…with *1000 hour lashes day to night packs, you can go from a day to night look with just a change of your lashes (and a tweak of your makeup).

For the makeup looks below, I used the Exotic black pack.

1000 Hour lashes Day look
1000 hour lashesThe day lashes in the *Exotic black style are half lashes, I love this because they are much easier to apply and that aren’t too extreme for daytime wear.

Products:
Base- Maybeline Dream Pure BB cream in ‘Light’
Blush- Bourjois Aqua Blush in ’04 berry nice’
Eyes- NYX jumbo eye pencil in ‘Yogurt’, Models Prefer Infinite colour eye pencil in ‘nude appeal’ (inner corners), Boe beauty liquid liner, Rimmel waterproof Wonder’full mascara in ‘001 black’
Brows- Maybelline Browsatin in ‘medium brown’
Lips- Australis Velourlips in ‘full moon-stone’ (as a base) and MAC Viva Glam ‘Ariana Grande 2’

1000 hour lashes

1000 Hour lashes Night look
1000 hour lashes Products:
Base- Rimmel lasting finish foundation in ‘010 light porcelain’
Blush- Boe beauty blush powder in ‘#91 pink godess’
Eyes- Rimmel magnif’eyes in ‘002 kissed by a rose gold’ (eye shadow all over the lid), Rimmel Magnif’eyes in ‘001 Black to blacks’ (kohl kajal in the outer corners), Rimmel colour precise eyeliner in ‘001 black’
Brows- Maybelline Browsatin in ‘medium brown’
Lips- Smashbox X Lilly Singh always on liquid lipstick in ‘Bawse’

1000 Hour lashes Day to Night packs

There are two styles to chose from, *Exotic Black for more subtle looking lashes and *Daring Twist for more dramatic looks.

Both packs are reusable, waterproof and include adhesive lash glue

They retail for $15.99 per pack

Do you like to wear false lashes or do you prefer just your own lashes with a coat of mascara?

Hope you’ve been having a great week!
