Immaculately Collected Lashes


This is probably one of the most overdue reviews I have to share with you. I like to call these lashes my 'Madonna Rain' lashes as I was convinced Madonna was sporting similar one in her 80s video entitled 'Rain'. As a matter of fact, I was totally wrong. Madonna wears these funky lashes on the cover of her legendary Immaculate Collection album, on a look immortalised by photographer Herb Ritts.

I found them years ago, while browsing the dusty lashes corner in now closed TJ Hughes. They were probably £2.99 but it doesn't matter now anyway. TJ Hughes has closed and you can find them for £1 on Amazon. Bargain, or what?

As with most crazy lashes, do not expect that they will sit just like that on your own lashes and look pretty. Like 99% of the fancy lashes collection, they need layering under or over some regular lashes. I first wore them on my reptilian sunset makeup look, a look I did ages ago for a little competition on youtube. On this look, I layered them over or under (I don't remember) my favourite party lashes ever (More about that in a separate post)

Unless you have full and fabulous natural lashes (I don't) I wouldn't wear them these W7 lashes on their own. Treat them like a fabulous nail polish top coat and they will jazz up your party makeup.

Recently, I wore them on my devil look. I hope you're not too sick of hearing about it now. xx

Gold earthquake nails {quick look}

I  was only meant to twitpic about this so I hope you will excuse the briefness of this post. Call it express review or sneak peak ;) I was a TJ Hughes today. As usual, I am not sure what appalled me the most: The bootleg music or the sorry state of the displays. I arrived in the middle of a clean up session, where a poor girl had to clean a gooey mess of polishes. Not such a bad thing for me as it allowed me test the gold crackle from W7. Its official name is 'Earthquake' Crackle Polish, which is a bit ironic as the state of the display looks like it had actually been ravaged by an earthquake.

First impressions after a quick swatch on on finger? It's ok. In most lighting situations, the polish would look more like a shade of mustard yellow rather than a true true gold which is I would want from a gold crackle polish. Only bright sunshine and strong flash will make it vibrant. I suppose it's ok considering the £1.99 price tag.
