Ardell Fashion Lashes

Evening Girls.. 

As an ardent wearer or false lashes, I've become somewhat of a connoisseur when it comes to good lashes and bad.. There is nothing worse than wearing a set of falsies which feel like they weigh down your lashes and generally cause discomfort to the eye. I myself wear contact lenses and sometimes with certain, cheap brands of lashes my eyes become tired and irritable after a couple of hours wear. 

Eyelure had always been my lash brand of choice, when I wasn't sporting lashes from my now defunct False Lash company 'Styleyes Lashes', but more recently a brand who in all honesty I'd not heard too much about has taken my fancy and converted me in the lash stakes! 

Ardell are an American False Lash company who's tag line is 'Simply Unforgettable Eyes...' believe me, the Ardell Lashes truly are unforgettable! 

Here is a close up shot of me wearing their 'Fashion Lashes' in number 101.

 The lashes are made from 100% sterilized human hair, meaning they are super light weight. Adding to their comfort levels is the clear flexi strip which the lashes are attached to; the strip is easily maneuvered to fit your own shape eye, it is not rigid in any way which means the highest level of comfort.

On the occasions I wear lashes, I need to be able to be comfortable for long periods of time when wearing them, the Ardell lashes are amazing for this and most of the time I totally forget I'm wearing any at all!

Here is the completed look wearing the 101 lashes and I just love them!

They are currently available to buy from Boots, these ones in particular retail for £5.11 which I think to be a fab price for quality lashes which are reusable, providing care and attention is paid to them in keeping them clean.

Have any of you lovelies tried Ardell lashes? Can you recommend any other styles to try out?

Introducing... Styleyes Lashes ♥

As some of you lovely ladies may know, I have started up a small company selling false eyelashes. Essentially, this forms part of mine and my friends' 'Business Enterprise' module at University in which we have to start up, run and then close down a business, if we so choose! 

We were allowed to choose entirely what we type or company we would like to set up, with many offering services but others selling goods. Me and the girls decided to go into something that not only we were passionate about, but that would be widely accepted. 

Now I know a lot of you peaches like to get all glammed up once the weekend is upon you and most likely using false eye lashes will be a part of your weekly routine. Speaking from experience, lashes just aren't cheap! Spending £5 on a pair every week to 2 weeks just sometimes isn't feasible and that's where we, Styleyes Lashes come in!

Our lashes come in four different styles and are boxed in sets of ten pairs, yes that's ten pairs per box! The best part is, they're just a mere £5 per box. 

Currently you can take a hop, skip & a jump on over to our Facebook Page  to have a peek at what we've been up to and also when our website will go live and you'll actually be able to purchase! 

I shall however give you a sneak peak at the four different styles which we've decided upon stocking! Each style of lash has been designated a certain celebrity and if you happen to take a look at the Facebook Page, you'll be able to see in more detail who and why we've used them...

Lashes in the Style of... Rihanna

Lashes in the Style of... Katy Perry

 Lashes in the Style of... Frankie Sandford

Lashes in the Style of... Cheryl Cole

You might spot that the eye in question is indeed my own...

It would be great if you were to take a look over on our business Facebook page and give us a 'Like' to show your support for not only me, but my girlies too ♥

Hopefully you'll be interested in some fab-tastic lashes for the upcoming seasonal period!

Love for Lashes ♥

False eyelashes that is! 

As some of you may know, myself and a few other girlies from Uni have set up a small company as part of our Business Enterprise module selling False Eye lashes. In my last FOTD post 'Shear Glamour' which you can see by clicking here I was sporting a set of the more dramatic lashes. I've gotten a fair few compliments on these lashes, but I do realise that not everyone like the 'over the top' full style lash and may actually prefer a more natural style which will thicken up their own lashes and add a touch of definition. 

The lashes in the above photo are just that; natural, easy to wear & just give your natural lashes a little oomph!

I donned them last week for an impromptu shopping trip with the bestie. They opened up my eyes and drew attention to them, but in no way did I feel that they were over the top. 

Teamed with a neutral smokey eye [my speciality hehe] and a bright pink lip, namely YSL's Rouge Volupte in Lingerie Pink I was ready to shop till I dropped!

As for our company, we shall be up and running just as soon as we take delivery of our stock.. I realise this is a bit of a teaser, but hopefully through my wearing them you'll see a style that will suit you and you may, when we go online buy a box to try for yourselves! 

Much love xx

She's Peachykeen with Gaga Lips...

Just a quick one for all you lovelies...

I was playing about with some of the 40, yes, 40 sets of false eyelashes which I purchased on eBay.. They arrived yesterday and I was intrigued as to what sort of look they would give me.. I thought when I finished, I'd take a couple of snaps...

Sorry for the terrrrrrible photo quality, my sister has hopped skipped & jumped off to Rome for a week with the DSLR so my laptop webcam will have to make do.. 

You can however make out the gorgeous golden shimmer in my 'blush of the moment' MAC's 'Peachykeen'.. This is a very wearable everyday peach shimmer tone blush and I am loving it! I'm clinging onto the last shreds of summer for as long as possible and this not only gives a super pretty colour, but a really dewy glow *Lovessss* 

Ahhhh man I look so tired on this & I'm not quite sure what my eyebrow is doing?!... But anyways, I also recently rediscovered my love for MAC's Viva Glam Gaga. I've found myself buying so many new lipsticks over the past few months that I've lost track of what I have; buy a new one, wear it for a week then buy another! Ridiculous really, and a habit I need to get out of! 

The eyelashes turned out quite well, I'm using the most 'natural' ones in these photos but the others are WAY more dramatic than these, maybe a little too drag queen-esq! 

Mwahh.. Kisses for you all!

Tapas & Champagne Cocktails...

Hey girlies :)

Hope you've all enjoyed the sun these past few days, it's actually been pretending to be summer for the past few days where I live hehe

So on Saturday night myself and everyone from the boutique where I work went out for staff drinks and Tapas at La Tasca. This was a whole new experience for me, as I've never tried Tapas before.. I tend to stick to 'safe' foods, ones that I know, but this was a great opportunity to try something new. We then headed out to the Quayside Malmaison for Champagne cocktails... Never a good idea after the copious amounts we had already consumed! At the time, the food tasted amazing, but unfortunately it didn't agree with me and I came down with a bug, for a couple of days afterwards :(

The night overall was a great success however, with lots of sangria flowing it really got me in the mood for my holiday off to Tenerife :) 

I decided after hearing such positive things from Annabella about the Sally Hansen 'Airbrush Legs' to give it a go. I truly and honestly HATE my legs with a passion, I unfortunately suffer from hereditary 'thread' or spider veins which I am looking into getting treatment for, but since finding this little gem I may not have to spring so soon for the invasive sclerotherapy (I am terrified of needles...) 

So here we have it, my outfit choice for a Spanishy Tapas night out...

Dress - River Island

Shoes - Topshop Dupe from Garage Shoes

Oversized Bangle (Worn as Cuff) - Local Boutique

I wanted my makeup to look fairly 'glamourous' and so decided to use shadows from my Sleek 'Storm' palette: Shimmery Champagne, Mocha (matte) brown & also the matte Black...

Here you can see a closeup of my eyelid.. I also applied some Girls Aloud 'Sarah' Lashes to add a bit of interest and oomph :) 

So what about you ladies, did you get up to anything exciting this past weekend? Do you have anything special planned for the Bank Holiday Weekend?
