House of Lashes: Lash Story ♥

Hello again beautiful jewels and gems ♥

Recently, House of Lashes came out with a new eyelash case that carries 10 pairs of lashes! Most lash cases only carry 3 pairs. This is especially convenient for those who have so many pairs of lashes or travel and want to bring all of their lashes in one single case. Not to mention there's also a slot perfect for containing their signature eyelash glues!

Lash Story Product Details

Price: $14.00 // link to website: HERE
Material: made from paper and plastic products, fully recyclable
Features: holds 10 pairs of lashes & has a magnetic closure that makes it easy to open and close
Note: *Lashes & Mini Lash Adhesive Set Sold Separately
Size: D 38mm x W 106mm x L 213mm

Thoughts

PRO: The case holds 10 pairs of lashes, and the foil print on the packaging adds a unique detail(: Plus, there hasn't been another company that supplies lash cases that carry more than 3 pairs! (only for brand ambassadors)
CONS: Although the paper used feels strong and sturdy, it could easily be stained by other makeup in your bag. Since the case is made up of paper and plastic, I personally think $14.00 is quite pricy. However, their other lash cases that only carry 3 pairs range from $5-$15, and I think House of Lashes might have chosen this material to make it affordable for us as well.

Hello beautiful jewels and gems(:

The holidays are coming up really soon, so many cosmetic companies are coming out with amazing holiday sets. Recently, both Ulta and Sephora have been releasing them like crazy! As a big fan of Becca Cosmetics, I went on a little treasure hunt and purchased the "Glow on the Go" set. Although the size of the products are small, the bundle of two amazing products for the price of $20 (vs. $38 for Opal Pressed alone) is totally worth it ♥ I will talk about the other gift sets available below.

If you are unfamiliar with Becca Cosmetics, here is the link to their discover page: LINK

Other contact color reviews: Creamy Beige // Mint Touch (comparison to a different brand)

It's incredibly difficult to find an image that is true to color for Desio contacts; I didn't know what they looked like until I tried them on >.<" but the image below is the most accurate one I've seen after wearing cream beige & caramel brown!
