The Eyes Have It

Morning,

New in the shop today is a fantastic canvas painted by Dorne Boddington, the talented artist behind the Smashing Glass pieces we stock. Taking inspiration from early comic book art, it's a fantastic painted of Thor (movie coming out soon!). It is now on display in the shop, and available to buy. I'll try to get it photographed and onto the online shop soon.

I'm told our fantastic new ethically traded products will be in towards the end of next week, so looking forward to showing those off to all of you!

Pick Of The Day today are these Stargazer False Eyelashes. Great for adding a little glamour to any look, they are easy to use and the glue is included. Take care of them, and they can be reused multiple times. Available in a variety of styles and colours, we can also order in the Stargazer feather eyelashes specially if that's what you're after (much loved by the burlesque community!). Top tips for application that we've been told include putting eyeshadow on after the lashes (using tissue to stop it falling on the lashes) to help them stick, and putting black eyeliner on the upper lids first so any small gaps between the false lashes and your real ones aren't noticable. Finish with a bit of clear mascara on your natural lashes to bring them into line, and voila, the windows to your soul are all spruced up!

Have a great weekend!

Morning

Got to play with Monsalina Chic's new lines yesterday. Some gorgeous dresses, and we have a few due in at the start of December. Some perfect little party dresses in there!

There's been a definite surge in the popularity of false lashes lately. Not sure if it's because of Halloween, the upcoming festive season, or because they're on almost every X Factor contestant (with the exception of some of the boys) but I thought it was a good reason to have them as our Pick Of The Day. We stock a wide range of the Stargazer false lashes, which come with the glue to attach them. However, if you don't see the style you want on our site, or you're looking for something more elaborate (jewels, feathers) just get in touch and we can probably find you the perfect set. But back to these, from the exaggerated natural look, to neon colours, to metallic, there's something perfect for your party season in this lot!

Hope you're having a good week!

Bat For Lashes

Morning,

Slight delay on getting the RedRock stock in, so apologies to anyone waiting on that. We are getting a new Stargazer order in at the beginning of next week though, so will be fully stocked on all the hair dye colours and have some lovely new false lashes (more on those in a minute).

Pick Of The Day are our Stargazer False Eyelashes. We have these in stock in a wide range of colours and styles, and the glue is included. Take care of them, and they can be reused. Perfect for adding a bit of drama to any look. Whether you want something to enhance what you naturally have, or want to go mad with neon and sparkles, there is a set for you. They say eyes are the window to the soul, so why not try a bit of window dressing! They're perfect for adding a bit of glamour to a night out, or for Halloween and Christmas do's. At £5 for a pair, they're worth trying out, and if you've not tried false lashes before, just ask, we're full of handy hints!

Enjoy your weekend!

Shine On

Morning,

Weekends definitely go too quickly! Still, hope everyone is having a good Monday morning! Just a quick post this morning as got loads of start-of-the-month paperwork to get through!

Pick Of The Day is one of our Stargazer False Eyelashes. This metallic silver set is style No.12. We have a variety of styles and colours in stock, but I thought these were fantastic for standing out! They come with the glue, can be reused providing you take care of them, and are available at £5 per pair. Yes, we do have the more natural looking ones, but aren't these just a little bit more fun? :)

Summer of soccer

Morning,

This week I should have the new Iska dresses in so looking forward to that one! Taking a sneak peak at Dr Martens new Autumn/Winter collection later as well, so it's not a bad start to the week.

You may or may not have noticed (HA!) but the World Cup starts this weekend. So if you're planning on being loud and proud in your support for England, why not take it all the way and try these red Stargazer false eyelashes? Hell, we have red nail polish, red lipgloss, red lipstick, red hair dye... we can kit you out! But if you're not an England fan, we do have these lashes available in other colours (the blue is particularly nice, if you're a lamenting Scotland fan or maybe you're backing France). If you're not into football at all, it's probably going to be a tough few weeks for you, but you might as well glam up for them, so pop in and check out the full range of lashes.
