My Version of Wearing Pearls

Yeah, this is about as neutral and practical as I get, hehee!
Iβm going to be 40 in 4 months so naturally Iβm doing the adult thing and wearing this type of kawaii-goth style I used to wear all of the time in my early 20βs – early 30βs hehee!

Even though this has been one of the weirdest years Iβve had, being in βlockdownβ isnβt that different from having chronic fatigue anyway really. Lots of telly watching, reading, putting outfits together for no particular reason, eating copious amounts of takeaway and going out to have a quick drink, when Iβm able.
Leave your questions or comments below and I will consult my foggy (but sometimes, strangely encyclopaedic) brain to reply to them lol
Everything I post on this blog gets posted (in an abridged format) to my Instagram, as well as me posting one lifestyle photo everyday of the year there too.
Iβd say this sums me up surprisingly well!

As you probably know by now, Iβm Dyspraxic so faffing about with eyelash glue and false lashes has extremely messy, if rather amusing consequences. Not a realistic option!
This is why I jumped at the chance of reviewing Lolaβs magnetic lash kit Β£35. The lashes βstickβ to the metallic eyeliner which comes with the kit. Afterward the just gently peel off (they are reusable) and liner removed with oil (which also comes in the kit).
Iβve been given two styles of lashes (there are six in total, with different options for kits, colours of eyeliner and bundles): The thick, fluttery Diamond style which look fabulous (above) and the more subtle Sapphire style which pass for my real lashes but prettier. I prefer the latter because I can wear these quickly and easily, every time I go out, with hardly any other makeup.
I struggle with the Diamond lashes but the Sapphire oneβs are perfect as they donβt crowd my mono-lid or drag down the look of my hooded eyes.
Quite a difference between my normal lashes (left eye) and the falsies (right eye)!
The eyeliner brush is incredibly easy to use and I draw the best flick Iβve ever done but I still manage to get eyeliner all over (and even inside) the inner corner of my eye. After Iβve spread that everywhere by trying to clean it up with the oil on a cotton pad, I let it dry. The lashes themselves are fairly easy to apply. I think they actually lift my hooded eyelids too!
Rating 4/5
What do you think? I would love to hear your comments as always.
Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone has the purrrfect Halloween. πΊ
I needed a cat nap earlier but Iβm really getting into it meow. πΈ
Sorry if Iβve made your brain fall into uncanny-valley territory. Itβs less scary than the cast of the film Cats though Iβm sure! π
Happy weekend, cheers!
