As the holidays approach closer and closer every day, so does the swoon of exciting beauty and outfit ideas. And while going about usual Indie office activities, like looking through files and piles of magazine editorials, we fell in love with everything 60′s mod. After coming across a photo of the beautiful Christina Hendricks of Mad Men, Editor Amanda (@CrystlMeatballs) and I got to work to create the look in 5 simple steps.

It is the first day of Fall and not only does that mean we are changing up our fashion, but we are also adjusting our beauty regimen to accomodate for chillier weather. Naturally, we turn to Barney’s beauty department and the expert advice from their Beauty Guru Jason Ascher. He gave us great tips on skin care, his top three must-have beauty products, fall beauty trends, and all his best product recommendations for this season (all obviously exclusive to Barney’s).

I love paperself. Simply, they create magical things out of paper. I would happily pay them a lot to make me a house out of paper. Or even a big spikey box would be amazing.
They have very much outdone themselves with these new paper false lashes.
At only £12 a pair, i’m buying them all.
Available at luna and curious.
(small peach flower)
(small horses)
(peonies)
The inspiration comes from the art of Chinese paper-cutting.
‘Intricately cut and delicately pretty, Eyelashes are available in three styles, each infused with symbolic meaning rooted in Chinese culture:
Horses: symbolic of success
Peony: for happiness and good fortune
Peach blossom: a symbol of love and romance
Unique and expressive, Eyelashes come in two sizes: accentuate the corners of your eyes with the smaller lashes for a subtle daytime look, or make a statement with the full lashes for a special occasion.
‘
and they ‘re even beautifully packaged,
.
Yes yes and yes. I have two pairs to try, so look out for the photos.

With products like Latisse and numerous OTC lash enhancers bombarding the market, it’s all too obvious what the current “IT” factor of the beauty industry is.
Stepping into Sephora or any drugstore can be overwhelming when you’re on the search for a lash pick me up.
They've got your lengthening, strengthening, separating, waterproof, the brush bends this way! this brush bends that way! They even come in different colors now!
*takes a deep breath*
Then there’s your volumizing, curling, conditioning, thickening and non-clumping.
Where to begin? Nowhere yet, because now they’ve got lash enhancers. Now you’ve got to prep your eyelashes before the mascara.
There’s your lash maximizer,booster, enhancer, overnight lash conditioner.
Think we’re done? Nope. So we’ve enhanced/primed, put on our mascara and now there’s a third step. Now we have lash fibers to add over our wet mascara to add even more length.
Now that we are all overwhelmed with the crowded mascara market, we can begin now.
What you’ll need
The Process
I must attest to my own lashes and tell you how fabulous they always look. So, while you may be used to a quick “brush and run” technique of mascara-ing, putting in the extra three to four minutes to properly apply will certainly make a remarkable difference.

If you’re like me, you ran to the mirror after hearing about eyelash growing serums to see if your eyelashes were lacking. And since mine were, I got a bottle of RapidLash Eyelash Renewal Serum ($39.95, down from $49.95) and let the 3 week formula work its magic.
There’s no question that the magic worked: within a week, my eye lashes started to grow. But so did my eyebrows – bigtime. While my lashes became longer and thicker, so did my brows; I needed to up my wax routine to once a week, and still had to tweeze almost daily. I’ll admit I’m pretty hairy, but I’ve never had such unibrow issues before.
If you suffer from alopecia, RapidLash if your facial hair friend. For the rest of us, just have the tweezers handy. Check out our other favorite lash boosters:
Just like RapidLash, neulash Serum ($150) is applied to the upper eyelid once a day. Although this one takes about 30 days, longer and thicker lashes still appear.
Although the Givenchy Mister Lash Booster ($30) doesn’t brag about lash growth, it will definitely add volume to your eyelashes with its daily nighttime application.
Osmotices Nutrilash Brow & Lash Enhancer ($48) also conditions as it helps the growth of your eyelashes and eyebrows. Don’t say I didn’t warn you – they use eyebrows in the product name.

It’s no secret that with the massive number of mascaras out there a girl is going to get a bit confused. I mean how can you possibly try them all? And the worst fear, what happens if you’re missing out on the best one? Well, Sephora seems to have come up with a solution to that problem with their newest sampler, LashStash. A kit with 10 different mascara wands that promises you’ll find the wand best suited for you.
