Eyelashes Galore!


Natalie Portman at her latest Film Premier for The Other Boleyn Girl, sporting glamorous lashes and of course these are not through the aid of Mascara alone but are perfectly formed & beautifully placed lash strips that give her eyes this striking finish. Try Mac's 12 Lash (£7.50) as they give a fantastic dramatic look & are easy to apply or if you fancy going a step further why not opt for Semi Permanent Lash Extensions, these give you fuller lashes with added volume and will last for up to 2 months! The treatment normally takes around 1-1.5 hours & individual eyelash extensions are bonded and blended into your existing lashes one by one, this creates extra length and volume which will feel just like your own lashes! No maintenance is required (although using oil based eye make-up removers & waterproof mascara is best avoided), top-ups/refills are also offered to keep your lashes looking voluptuous. The extenions are only applied by trained professionals obviously & as the demand is growing more & more salons are offering this service, have a look at Xtreme Lashes for more information as their directory of therapists are available nationwide - www.xtremelashes.uk.com. Only slight down side to having this done is that the treatments can be expensive & range between £70 up to around £300.

While we're on the of eyelashes why not try Rimmell's latest ofering on the Mascara front, brand new Glam'Eyes, it promises to give you lashes that are 10x fuller & 80% longer, defintely worth a shot!

Mac Paint Pots


Try Mac's new Paint Pots (£12), another version of the Mac Paints this fabulous formula is easy to paint onto the eye with no creasing & gives a smooth long lasting finsh as well as intense colour. The other great thing about it is that it can be mixed with the mac shadows & liners, available in a range of different colours in matt & pearl finishes.
