dreams that glitter

Oh my Goddd, lash lovers of the world, there's new Girls Aloud lashes!! Yay! I just ordered 6 pairs.

Eeee! Now if you wear false lashes, you will know that when Girls Aloud were at their height last year, they released their lash range for Eylure, and they were GOOD. I assumed they'd be limited edition but they're still selling strong. My favs are Nicola's, which are super long and feathery, and Nadine's, which are full and curled. I've gone through so many pairs! They hold out about four wears for me but that's because I wear a lot of mascara and eyeliner with them too, so they could last even longer if you wear lighter eye makeup.

Student loans day is approaching for me and last night I happened to click on the Superdrug site to check out their offers, and saw Girls Aloud have released a new limited edition range of lashes!!! For some reason they're called festival lashes, and I can't see how anyone will wear these to a festival?! They'd be better with clubbing lashes, as the majority of people will wear them on a night out. They even come with a 'lanyard', which I think is one of those things you hang around your neck for your phone or festival schedule. They don't need the gimmick as the lashes were so popular before, and these will obviously fly off the shelves. Well, not every pair...

 

I got multiples of Nadine's because they look extremely similar to her original pair but with rainbow gems!

 

On the livejournal where I got these pics (linked at the end of the post), someone likened these to centipedes! It's true! Maybe in real life they're gold but I don't see why you would wear yellow lashes. I'll have to see them in real life but knowing Cheryl's popularity, they'll be snapped up anyway. Her original pair are quite pointy so only suit certain eyes.

 

These aren't so original as mini feathers have been done before. I have a feeling they would scare off guys as they do look like fly swatters when you're batting your lashes, but I love the spiky cut of them.

 

I always see original Nicola pairs forlornly left on the shelf. She's grown hugely in popularity since she ditched the fake bake and became really fashionable, I hope she gets an ad campaign soon! But her look is so original that it's hard to imagine imitating it and so most might go for the other lashes. This is a shame because hers are the best! They're very long so you might have to cut the corners but they're so feathery. So I'm very excited by her having top and bottom lashes!! They probably won't be part of my standard night out look but for a random night, bottom lashes could look so good! I think they'd be best with a really smokey eye or lots of eyeliner at least. And it seems they have glitter in them, even better! I wonder how much say they had in their designs?

Sarah's aren't for me as I wouldn't wear red on my eyes, but I bet they'd look great on really fair girls with dark hair. They look really black too which is important.

I just ordered mine online as a precaution encase they sell out in-store super fast. I love Girls Aloud and saw them in concert last year, but these lashes are fabbb. I only ever really buy these and then really cheapie lashes from poundland and use them with expensive glue. Maybe I'll do a youtube video on lashes. Thirty pairs and counting!

Ooh I like Sarah's best I think! I might actually have to change my ways and invest in some fake eyelashes... I'm with POD about them usually :) But only because I can't work them out...

Hmm... You couldn't wear 4/5 of them with mascara due to the colours! And I don't really do bejewelled so none of them are for me :( I do like Nadine's ones even though she is an annoying little twig.
BTW, So glad you're a Georgia Nicholson fan too! Have loads of books to catch up on, but am buying my sister the whole collection for her 16th so will borrow them ASAP! (Ha, what a selfish gift!) I'm intrigued about the ending now!
Another btw, me and my friend Hannah are obsessed with the name Queenie after seeing the model's name on style.com! So much so that Hannah has had 'Queenie' as her middle name on Facebook since September! You should defo call your baby that :)

I've converted my sister to Nicola lashes (original), they're clearly the best! haha
Not too sure about these 'Festival' ones, they're a bit OTT for me. I'm wondering why they have exactly the same pics as the original lashes? I thought they'd take new pics with the new lashes on for the new boxes?

Ooh, excited about these. Of the original ones, I like Cheryl's the best, but I think I'd pick Sarah's out of these new ones. I've never worked out how to make them last more than one wear though, they always have too much glue and other makeup stuck to them, sometimes I even ruin them with the glue before I put them on and have to get another pair out - clearly I need lessons, or some more practice!

I think these are a bit crazy for me, but a nice idea noneheless. I'm gutted that I lost my Nicola lashes after a night out, but they were a bit manky anyway...definitely stocking up when I get to the UK. Although I like US lashes, the GA ones seem tailor made for different situations.

Love Nadine and Kimberleys. I have been thinking about getting some falsh lashes for ages but never really have the occasion. I have something coming up soon so think I might invest in a pair.

Ohhh i love the nicola lashes! I'm pasty as can be so I always steal nicola's make up looks.

I've not tried any of the Girls Aloud lashes yet, because I'm only just getting in to false lashes. I've tried them before and could never get them on properly, but apparently now I've magically developed the knack for it. I think I'll definitely be buying the new Nicola and Kimberly ones!

wow it looks like a gorgeous collection, I'm always worried I'll look too fake with falsie,s but I can see they would be perfect for a night out!!!!
Lots of love, great blog

[eleanor]

Ahhh I love Nicola's! Hopefully they will be available in Australia so I can fall back into a fake lash fetish, it's been a while..

[Tebonin]

Wow...such beautiful collections. I like the third one best. I will try this out definitely.
