So basically Halloween stores are selling knockoffs of those amazing Paperself false eyelashes.

They're like $8 at stores instead of being £12.50 online (about $20).

I'm torn. =(

They had one that looked exactly like the deer and butterfly one.

My Paperself Lash Collection (Tips for Care and Wear)

I have 4 pairs of Paperself lashes in my collection, 1 of which I bought at retail price from Sephora (in Singapore) and 3 of which I bought from a discount beauty store quite recently.

If you’re considering getting a pair or two of these, you might want to know the below first.

The Pros:

Paperself lashes are incredibly detailed and intricate

They make a huge statementt

You can wear them in various ways, both as a full strip for max drama, or cut into segments for more subtle looks

The Cons:

Paper lashes are fragile; these are no more than thick craft paper, so if you use them as is, they will get tattered and folded quickly after 1-2 uses

They are extremely expensive. Paperself lashes retail for £12.50, so they are not very practical for frequent wear. Special occasion only. (Unless you’re a makeup artist or collector, I wouldn’t recommend buying more than 1 pair unless there is a steep discount. I love the concept, but the price-point is a little bit unreasonable.)

Many lash designs tend to be very long, so if you don’t have huge eyes, you will need to cut them to fit the eye

Recommendations/Tips

Paint a thin layer of waterproof glaze on both sides and along the lash band, to waterproof them and make them more resistant to bends and rips; you can use art sealant, but that takes up to a week to cure completely, so fast drying nail polish might be a better option

If you have very long and large eyes, and can wear a full strip, otherwise it’s better to cut the full lash into segments, like I did with the Lace Garden lashes above. You get to wear just one segment, or to place one each on the upper and lower lash line.

If you don’t want anything TOO dramatic, go for short/simpler half-strip designs like the “Small Deer&Butterfly” or the “Small Horses” (a design I think is beautiful but could not find on discount!)

Stockists: You can check on or write in to the company at: http://paperself.com/ps%20%20all.html

SG-buyers note: Sephora and Watson’s used to stock them but stopped due to poor sales, and I’m not surprised considering the original $29.90 price-tag. Beaute Spring in NEX Serangoon is currently selling them under $12 so if you want a pair run down quickly!
