I know I reblogged out this a week ago but HauteCoffee.us just recently did a fab write-up that really goes in on this amazing item. #WhatWillTheyThinkOfNext

hautecoffeebreak:

 

                 Paper Eye lashes?!

Inspired by the art of Chinese paper-cutting, Eyelashes blend an element of traditional culture with contemporary design.

Intricately cut and delicately pretty, Eyelashes 

 

are now available in 11 styles, each infused with symbolic meaning rooted in Chinese culture:

 

        Peacock: auspicious and lucky days

 Horses: symbolic of success

       Peony: for happiness and good fortune

       Peach blossom: a symbol of love and romance

       Butterfly: free, beautiful and sensitive

       Clown: bring the whole happiness

Unique & 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.

Not yet sold in the US, for this is a UK fan fav… visit one of my fav “Haute” site www.ASOS.com for your pair of Paper Lashes.
