Kiss Lashes!

I bought these in either Boots or Superdrug the other week, I forget which, after seeing this brand mentioned a couple of times in blogs / youtube vids etc. Apparently Eyelure's parent company animal tests (bad news for my beloved Katy Perry lashes :o( ... ) so I've stopped buying those and I was happy to discover that Kiss are a cruelty free company. Hooray! I'm not 100% sure that the glue that comes with these is vegan (it probably is but I need to check that) but I never use the glue you get with false lashes anyway, I always use Duo (CV).  

Anyway, these are the lashes I got, they're the featherlight lashes and they're called vamp; they're super light and wispy, like the wispies from Ardell really.  What I like is that they don't have a thick lash band so you could wear them without eyeliner if you wanted and they're also really comfy to wear and easy to apply!

You can see that they just give a bit of extra oomph but it doesn't look like you're obviously wearing false lashes. They're lovely.

Here's an awkward underneath shot to show you how pretty and wispy they are.  Ignore the inner corner - my eye was watering like a muthabitch that night and I really struggled to get them to stick (that is also why my concealer looks so weird!)

I kept the eyes pretty neutral as I was wearing a bright orange lip. That's the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Lips pencil in gsl2 (V) that I love love LOVE! 

Have a fantastic weekend all. I'm going to IMATS tomorrow to spend a crap tonne of dough on Sugarpill and OCC! haha, who else is going?? I'll post a pic of my swag next week.

So I'm thinking of making Wednesdays a day to post something that I've worn over the last week. Whether it's a face of the day, just a eye or lip of the day, my nails that week or some rad earrings. And I'm kicking off with the makeup that I wore last night to salsa and a mini review of the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Lip pencils (V).

Firstly, I have 3 of these babies but last night I decided to just take pics with 2 different lip options, as I couldn't decide which one to wear.  So here's a lil pic and a swatch of the ones I have:

Top to Bottom: Shade 3, Shade 5, Shade 1 (look at that, I bought all odd numbers!)

I really like these pencils. REALLY LIKE them. In fact I think there are 5 colours and so I will probably have to go get the other two at some point, because one is very orangey and orange lips are totally fetch this season! (Stop trying to make "fetch" happen?)

They are really lovely, glossy, they go on super smooth and they are nicely pigmented.  They feel really comfortable and also stain the lips a bit so they last a bit longer than a regular gloss.

So here's what I did with them. I decided on a super neutral eye so as not to take the focus off the lips. Then I went and added a tonne of black liner and false lashes! Good one, Sal!  But I digress, a full list of products after the pics.

Option 1, with Shade 1

Option 2 with Shade 5, which is the shade I kept on for salsa. It's a lovely bluey pink and it's really wearable for day or night.
