Putting on PAPERSELF Lashes

Eversince I learned about PAPERSELF, I never stop lusting over it. Paper Lashes is simply too appealing and imagine my excitement when I was told by PAPERSELF, they would be sending a pair over for me to put on and review about them!

"So, which pair would I be getting?" This was the only question I had for the week, whilst waiting for my surprise to arrive...

Can you guess which designed I got?

I received the Deer and Butterfly pair!

With intricate designs and packaging, I really couldn't bear to take them out of the box! I was contemplating when to wear them and finally, I decided to wear them for clubbing!

I would say this was one of my favourite from their many designs. The butterflies were so flirtatious at the end of the lashes! However, I find it was a pity that the deer was not very visible. But nonetheless, I still liked the effect it has on my lashes and it was not that exaggerating as I thought it would be! It's like any false lashes, with lash glue and a tweezer, you can wear the lashes easily within minutes!

Gorgeous! I love how all the attention is at the eyes!

Although the lashes looks good with any colour eyeshadow, I still think nude colours are best for the lashes to fully stand out and let the designs be obvious. Even though it was said for one time use only, you could simply cut the lashes into parts for different placements along the eyes and the pair I wore, was taken off with much care and I actually managed to wear it the second time before throwing the pair of lashes away!

I would highly recommend these lashes for parties and events and especially for this festive season! Head on over to any Topshop or Sephora stores to get yourself some amazing lashes! 

Happy Shopping!

Celebrity Secret - Gamila Secret

Raised by nature gathered by Gamila to nourish healthy skin

Revealing Gamila Secret - A brand of skin care from the village if Pegi'in, Galilee, Northern Isreal. Galilee is a place where time seems to have stopped for 200 years. The fertile soil feeds magnificient olive groves, orchards and fields full of herbs.

 “I have committed my life to blending the healing powers of herbs to create the purest possible skin care products”.

Gamila was born and raised in the village and when her father was very young, his grandmother taught him the importance of nature in their lives. He passed this knowledge onto Gamila. Based on that knowledge, Gamila started searching for the ideal combination of wild herbs, vegetable oils and olive oil from the trees growing in the hills around her village.

This mixture, the ‘secret’ part of Gamila Secret, not only cleansed skin but also softened and healed it. She created the perfect combination for skin care because she has one very clear mission in life: to give everyone the opportunity to have healthy, beautiful skin for as long as they live.

Let me introduce their Cleansing Bar. Made from 100% natural ingredients and 15 herbs with more than 80% pure virgin olive oil that can be used as a daily cleansing bar for the face & body. They offer more than 10 scent and the one that I'm reviewing is Original.  

Upon opening the box, my whole bedroom was filled with the fragrance of olive and essence oil. Just by smelling it, I felt so relaxed and was super eager to start using the cleansing bar. Something interesting about Gamila Secret is that the bars may be of the same fragrance, but they may have a different colour as certain herbs have a different colour each season...

Gamila Secret Cleansing Bars are available in ten varieties, nine of which have essential oils for added fragrance and properties that simulate the skin. It is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive ones like me Gamila Secret not only cleanses and revitalizes the skin; it also has healing qualities for people whose skin has lost its natural balance. 

Olive Oil stimulates the self-protective function and through that the breathing, of the skin. The skins own moisture stays intact through the generation of natural skin oils and the restoration of the natural skin barrier. The skin can then breathe and transpire without loss of moisture. It doesn't leave the skin feeling dry and tight.

How to use the Cleansing Bar

1. Moisten with warm water to activate the ingredients
2. Apply the bar directly on face & body
3. Massage the creamy texture into your skin
4. Allow the emulsion time to permeate deeply into the skin
5. Rinse off

My Review

Cleansing power : 4 /5
I like that the cleansing bar is not too foamy and after cleansing, my skin feels refreshed. It is very gentle and my skin feels smoother after using. I love it! It is said to heal the skin, I'm looking forward to see its magic, since I've only used it for a week...

Scent : 4/5
The Original version smells like olive and essential oil, very refreshing and relaxing...

Price : 3/5
($46 - $63) per soap. The price is pretty steep. But the fact that it is carefully made and the process of controlled cooking, with ingredients being added at different moments to accomplish the best result, makes it a little more precious...

Overall : 3.5 /5
I like it, leaves my skin feeling refreshed and smooth, however, the pricing will make me think twice before getting it.

Gamila Secret not only offers cleansing bar. They also offers alot more product like - Face Oil, Hand Cream, Foot Balm and many more. It's been a celebrity secret!

For more information, you can go to their website - http://gamilasecret.sg and 'LIKE' them on Facebook.
Gamila Secret is available at Metro Paragon, Robinsons Marina Bay Sands, Robinsons Raffles City & Robinsons Centrepoint.

Range of PAPERSELF Lashes.

PAPERSELF have been producing and extensive line of pretty paper lashes and recently, they have just launched their latest collection and they are:

• The British Collection - Rose and London skyline a tribute to Britain’s craftsmanship, inventiveness and sprit. The essence has been conveyed using the iconic imagery with subtle cultural influences. This collection celebrates Queens Diamond Jubilee in U.K. and London taking the central stage for Olympic and Paralympic games.

• The V&A Collection - Lace Garden is the special collection with Victoria & Albert Museum. Given the brief of LACE by the V&A, our team was inspired by French silk bobbin lace from the nineteenth century.

The ‘London’ lashes represent the city skyline with iconic buildings like Tower Bridge, London Eye
and Big Ben and ‘Rose’ the national flower of England is elegance in true fashion.
Rose: Rose needs no words
London Skyline: So London

The Lace Collection: Lace Garden: Glamorous Elegance
‘The Lace Garden’ is the theme of the very first exclusive collaboration between PAPERSELF and
the Victoria & Albert Museum. The Lace Collection launched in early September in the store and
online. Given the brief of LACE by the V&A, the PAPERSELF team was inspired by French silk bobbin lace from the nineteenth century. The diverse and delicate floral patterns brought the theme of
floral gardens to the PAPERSELF team’s imagination. With the refined lace patterns, exquisitely cut
details and tactile structure, Lace Garden is a wonderful combination of vintage and
contemporary design.

It is now available in the main gallery store and online website in the V&A. http://www.vam.ac.uk or go to www.paperself.com for more information.

I can't wait to get my hands on the lashes. So many ways to wear them, so many different looks. What about you? Like the lashes? Will you be getting them too?
