Shu Uemura "Natural" Radiant Blue False Eyelashes

On the left is the colour shown on the Shu Uemura website and which I expected them to turn up in the post as.. But they arrived the colour shown on the right! (not complaining) They have a gorgeous, magpie-like green sheen on the shorter lashes and lovely flares off to the outer side. Either way, however, they cannot be described as natural! (unless you're an Avatar.. Unlikely.)

Extreme Luxury: with a hefty pricetag of £300, these Mother Of Pearl Premium False Eyelashes are hand made with real mother of pearl. Admittedly, they are gorgeous, but for that price I could buy a whole gorgeous outfit. Even if I had that kind of money, I'm still not sure I'd wear them, even as the lover of sparkle and shimmer that I am.

Instead, I got these: Shu Uemura's Mini Star Glitz False Eyelashes. The navy and blue lashes are embellished with tiny little star motifs "to give a pretty twinkle to the edge of the eyes" They are a really pretty edition to my collection and with a pricetag of £15, they are a bit more afforable with still a sense of luxury.
