Eylure Lashes- Up Close & Personal

I have a confession... I am a lash junkie. My obsession is a little different than others because I collect them. The funniest part of my obsession is the fact that I don't wear them! I can put them on others perfectly but not myself. I told myself this year that one of my goals will be taking the time out and having patience to put them on-without getting frustrated!

Thankfully Eylure has added four brand new Naturalites style additions to their line. 

These lashes are very natural looking and perfect for every occasion. 
I took close-up HD pictures for you all to see if these lashes are for you.

Feel free to click them to see them in their original size

The 011s, 032s, 035s and 083s are variations on current popular Eylure varieties 

and compliment both day or night looks.

Eylure Naturalites 011 Lashes are sweet and romantic, full lashes without fuss.
These are my faves! I love how it goes short to longer on the edges. 

Eylure Naturalites 035 Lashes add natural volume for a subtly full look.

Eylure Naturalites 083 Lashes adds fullness and length to lashes.

Eylure Naturalites 082 Lashes is a superfine lash one of the most natural looking.

They also debuted two new styles in the Katy Perry Lashes collection.
These lashes can be reapplied and are perfect for first-time wearers!

DARLING
Katy Perry Self Adhesive Lashes Darling. A full and fabulous style for a classic evening look. A great style for defining the eye and the self-adhesvie strip makes this so quick to apply.

Katy Perry - Darling Lashes

PRETTY
Katy Perry Self Adhesive Lashes Pretty. The style is `Pretty' and is as lovely as its name. A brilliant lash for adding volume and extra length, the self-adhesive strip makes this so quick to apply.

Aren't these lashes GORGEOUS!

I also forgot to add:

• 100% Natural Hair
• Can be trimmed to appropriate size
• Reusable
• Contact lens friendly

Which lash would you wear?

Suggested price is $7.99 CDN.

Check out Bomb La Bon Bon!

After a long day, it's best to treat yourself! Instead of visiting the local cupcake shop, why not try out a bath treat! I'm more of a lush girl but it's good to try out other brands... especially if they're Canadian. 

I was sent some goodies from Bomb La Bon Bon shop to try out. 

 "A unique variety of Candy Inspired Bath Bombs, Sugar Body Scrubs, Tub Truffles, Whipped Body Butters and Tub Milkshakes that are sure to leave your skin deliciously soft and moisturized without the sweet cravings guilt."

My favorite item I received was their handmade Whipped Sugar Scrub- Cotton Candy.

This tub is packed with creamy goodness of cotton candy fragranced body scrub. Delicious fragrances team up to give you double the pleasure that will last for plenty of treatments. A moisturizing combination that leaves skin soft and silky, not greasy or heavy.

It smells and looks amazing!

The consistency is very light. It provides a light scrub without damaging your skin.

I would classify this as a scrub that you can use daily.

After using it my skin was very soft.

 Some other goodies I was sent was the Bath Bomb - Donut Goodness & Rose.

The owner did everything she could to prevent the bombs from breaking. She even wrote " Do NOT invert" on the box. That didn't stop the post office for possibly kicking it down the street. Okay.. well I know they didn't kick it down the street but I was still sad to see my Donut Goodness Bomb was crushed. 

As we all know bath bombs disintegrate in water so the fact that it was broken wasn't that big of a deal. I just wanted to highlight it in case it happens to you.

 I also wanted to share that Bomb La Bon Bon  is:

• Not tested on Animals or has Animal-derived ingredients.
• Most of the products are vegan friendly and are 100% biodegradable and recyclable
• 100% free of: Parabens, Phtalates, Propyl Alcohol, Mineral Oil, Sulfates, Artificial Preservatives (PEGS, PPG, MEA, DEA or TEA)

Half Moon manicure

I'm in love with my nails this week!

I decided to cut them short because they were sooo uneven. They grow back fast..so I know I have nothing to worry about. .

These nails were achieved using a black from CND Shellac and a gold from color club.

I love the versatility of shellac nails. After getting them done I can do everything I want immediately.

The smallest task such as getting your wallet out to pay can be the biggest task with regular polish. I would always get smudges. Boo!

Are you a fan of the Half Moon trend?

Thankfully the wonderful experts at Chatelaine have narrowed down their 100 best beauty buys.
