I have a new travel destination...

The Shoe Galleries, at Selfridges in London.

A snapshot of Selfridges' Shoe Galleries.

Some details, which is all I need to write:
  • 5000 shoes on display in "galleries"
  • At least 55,000 shoes in stock at any given time
  • 35,000 square feet
  • A photo booth where you can take a picture of yourself with your favourite shoe

I'm booking a plane ticket as soon as I can!
(That is; once I have enough money and get over my fear of flying. :))

Maybelline Falsies Volum' Express - At last my love has come along...

I am the gal with short, almost non-existent lashes and thus, always in the search of that miraculous product that will give me the much desired long and thick lashes. Believe me, when I say that I have tried it all - every product department store or drug store, I have tried and finally found THE ONE!
I also tried the L'Oreal Lash Serum but alas, I just don't have the time or discipline to apply it twice a day religiously in order to see visible results! :

The Maybelline Falsies Volum'Express Mascara definitely delivers on its promise to give you LONG and VOLUMINOUS lashes. Now, obviously, no mascara will make your eyelashes look like the thick fringe advertised but you probably don't want that anyway.

Here are some before and after shots and as you can see there is a pretty big difference. I curled my lashes with Sally Hansen Lacross double curl eyelash curler (which by the way, works just as well as my Shu Uemura curler) and then applied two coats. Until this mascara, I was buying mascara and hardly ever wearing it because something or another always used to bug me but this... I LOVE.
P.S. Excuse the redness of my eyes, these pictures were taken at the end of a long day!
