Katy Perry Ka-Pow Lashes

 

I am absoultely in love with these lashes! I have seen this line of lashes by eyelure at Target but never paid them much attention until the other day I was shopping at Kohls and planned on going to Sally to get eyelashes afterwards. I happened to see an eyelash display near the jewelry department so I stopped and looked. I instantly went to these criss crossed purple tipped lashes. I paid $8 for these. So far I have worn them 4 times and they are still in great shape. I am going to buy a bunch more next time I am at Kohl's.

The eyelure website describes these lashes as:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       A layered strip lash in black with flashes of Powerful Purple. A POP of Color for your lashes. Oh Wow, Ka-Pow! These violet tipped beauties are a special gift for all eye shades but will add extra Pow-er to brown hued eyes. Be your own alter-ego by ditching the dull and buffing up those beautiful eyes… It really is your brand new secret weapon. Holy Lash Power!

Have you tried any of the Katy Perry for eyelure lashes? If so, what did you think? I may try a few different styles, which one is your favorite?

The Cat's Meow review and giveaway!

              I have wanted to try out some extravagant feather lashes for sometime now so when I came across The Cat's Meow on etsy I was pretty excited. I contacted Rachel, the owner and asked if she had any blogger packages. She responded quickly and set me up a discounted listing. My package arrived very quickly and was packaged very well. Everything was wrapped in tissue paper with extra care to make sure the lashes did not get smashed or bent. Each set of lashes comes on a felt heart along with a business card and instructions for application.

   

Blue Peacock Lashes

          Rachel sent me two different style lashes, Blue Peacock and Glitter Girl. Glitter Girl was inspired by my blog! How awesome is that!!! The lashes were assembled well and the feathers were securely attached. These lashes are not cheap. Blue Peacock is $18 and Glitter Girl is $20. The Cat's Meow carries a BUNCH of different styles ranging from super ornate to simple jeweled or floral lashes. Pricing ranges from $4 - $25.

Glitter Girl Lashes

     
       I asked Rachel to give us a little bio on herself and the company, here is what she had to say!

           Hello! My name is Rachel Olson and I'm the creator and owner of the Cat's Meow! I make all my feather eyelashes by hand with quality products and attention to detail. I love working with feathers as they are natural, organic, and vibrant in color, patterns, and texture. Feathers fill me a sense of awe as no two are exactly alike, and more beautiful because of this. I began my collection line with a love for vintage fashion and beauty, as it holds a feeling of timelessness. At the same time, I am drawn towards bold, cutting edge fashion because of the feeling of empowerment and confidence it holds. Combining these two passions together, along with my fascination with color combinations, The Cat's Meow Eyelashes were born. When you wear my lashes, attention will be drawn to your eyes and face. After that, I leave it up to you. 
 "I am The Cat's Meow and you are too!

            I live a pretty tame life. I am a typical housewife who lives in a rural town. I love to glam it up when I am at home because I rarely get a chance to go out. I was waiting and waiting and waiting for what seemed like a appropriate time to wear these lashes. I figured we would get a date night or something fun would be going on but after a couple of weeks that didn't happen so I did what any glitter loving, glamtastic housewife would do. I put them on and went to Home Depot. I got a ton of double takes, compliments and questions. Most people could not get the concept that the feathers were on the fake lashes. I had to explain it over and over. So these are definitely attention getting lashes! The lashes were pretty easy to apply. I am not the best at applying full lashes so these were a bit more tricky for me. I used a lot of extra care to make sure I didn't get glue on the feathers. I ended up wearing them for about 8 hours. I thought maybe they would feel heavy or awkward but they felt the same as any false lashes. I have not worn the Glitter Girl set but plan to soon. Rachel also sent 2 extra pairs of lashes for a giveaway so I really wanted to get this post up quickly! 

             Overall I really like this company and product. The lashes are all handmade and very gorgeous. If you are in the market for unique lashes be sure to check out The Cat's Meow. Do not forget to enter the giveaway below!! Huge thanks to Rachel for sponsoring this giveaway!

Klean Color Angelic Winks False Lashes

              I was browsing  a local clothing shop and came across these Klean Color lashes for only $1.99! I am familiar with the Klean Color brand, I use a lot of their nail polishes and eyeliners. Most Klean Color products are under $2. I personally have only seen Klean Color products inside of little strip mall clothing stores. They are usually Asian owned shops and have names like Fashion Joy, Fashion Plus or something similar. When I seen lashes I almost screamed out loud. So excited! I am super cheap  when it comes to buying lashes. I HATE spending $5 or more on them. I normally buy Ardell or order Red Cherry online. These are better because the shop is just 5 minutes from my house! They are available on Klean Colors website BUT I have heard from a few people that shipping is absolutely insane high but you do get free shipping if you spend $40 or more. I can say the nail polish, eyeliners and lashes are good products. I notice they carry a lot of different products. I may place an order in the future.

Adorable Betty

       These lashes are made from human hair, they wash easily after use and come in a huge variety of styles. I used mine at least 5 times each before they started getting out of shape. They all have adorable names too, I just noticed one is called "Dashing Christina". I NEED!!!!

Rebellious Laura

         I will for sure be going back to buy a TON of these lashes. They are the same if not better in quality than Ardell or the other lashes sold at Sally Beauty. Have you tried Klean Color lashes? If so what did you think?

Introducing Winks By Georgie!

                   High Fashion Flutter at Nordstrom.com
         Georgie Beauty announces launch of innovative faux lash collection, Winks by Georgie™, with Nordstrom.com.
          Georgie Beauty, a new eco-luxe beauty brand, has launched its collection of faux lashes and botanically-infused lash adhesive on Nordstrom.com. Georgie Beauty cofounders and sisters, Abbey and Megan, created Winks out of a love for faux lashes and desire for an innovative product line – classic lash styles, a chemical-free lash adhesive, and sustainable packaging.

 The Winks collection features naturalistic, easy-to-wear lash styles and the first botanically-infused lash adhesive that soothes delicate skin while maximizing adhesion. Winks Adhesive does not contain harsh chemicals used in other lash adhesives on the market, namely formaldehyde (formalin solution), parabens, and synthetic fragrance. Instead, the dermatologist-tested adhesive uses organic blue chamomile and an advanced latex in its proprietary formula, and it’s also PETA certified, vegan certified, and made in the U.S.
        “We couldn’t stand using harsh lash adhesives that are packed with chemicals (the same ones used in superglue!), irritate your eyes, and damage your real lashes when you remove your falsies,” explained Abbey. “That’s way we developed our own adhesive. It’s the highest quality, safest lash adhesive on the market.”

            In addition to classic, naturalistic lash styles and a topnotch adhesive, the Winks collection is different because lashes are packaged in eco-chic,
refillable compacts. Because Winks are premium quality lashes, they are
re-wearable, and the sisters wanted a clean place to store them and keep them in tiptop shape between uses. The compacts make it easy to re-wear Winks and toss them in a purse or cosmetic bag. They’ve also proven to be a huge hit as gifts for bridesmaids, birthday girls, and celebrities. Celebrity makeup artist Kristen Furbacher describes Winks as “your favorite mascara … times 10!”

        “Faux lashes are the secret beauty product of celebs, models, and even women in mascara ads,” said Megan, “because the camera loves lashes.” Winks fans include the American Idol contestants, Stacy Keibler, Tori Spelling, and presenters at the CMA Awards, to name a few. Winks are also a must for cocktail parties, dates, weddings, profile pics, and any other time you want your eyes to pop.
Winks lash compacts are $28, lashes range from $15 - $18, and Winks Adhesive is $8. The Winks collection is also sold at Neiman Marcus, Cos Bar, and high-end beauty boutiques nationwide.
