A Collection of Life Through The Eyes of Solotica

There's nothing better than starting the new year feeling like a new you. There's been a whirlwind of new cosmetic procedures, makeup techniques and products that have arisen this year and there is one in particular that a few of us in the Eyes of Solotica office are keen to try.... A Lash Lift, yes that's right, a lash lift. What is a lash lift some of you might ask, well here's the lowdown on what has become one of the fastest growing trends to end 2017. A lash lift is essentially a glorified "perm" for your eyelashes. A serum is applied using silicon pads to the eyelashes, focusing on lifting the hairs from the roots only.The procedure itself will take around 20 minutes and set you back around $99 - $130 depending on your beautician. The results from what we hear are incredible. You get lifted, perfectly curled lashes for up to 6 - 8 weeks from there, your lashes fall back into their natural state and new lashes have grown, giving you luscious lashes i

We've all been at one stage or another, jealous of that friend that can impersonate just about any celebrity or recite any movie tagline. Well, Alexis Stone is taking it to the next level with her incredible makeup transformations of celebrities. This UK based Drag Queen is quite simply "the shit" when it comes to creating celebrity similarities. Way better than a visit to Madame Tussauds, a simply scroll of her Instagram is enough to create some serious jaw drops. Below are our Eyes of Solotica girls favourite Alexis Stone looks: 1.Nicki Minaj A post shared by Alexis Stone (@thealexisstone) on Dec 26, 2017 at 8:19am PST 2.

There's a beauty technique that has been making the rounds on Youtube and the the term " Cut Grease " has been flying around social media so we thought we should investigate as to what "cut grease" actually is?! What is Cut Grease you might ask? Well it is the technique of using different coloured eye makeup to cut across the eyelid to form a sharp contrast in colours. This particular sharp cut is not blended, leaving it to form a clear crease on the eyelid. Many makeup enthusiasts online use neutral toned colours to make their eyes appear more open - this means all you need is a pair of Solotica coloured contact lenses to really make your eyes "pop". So how do you achieve this " Cut Grease " look and can anyone do it, sure thing. We've soured some of our favourite pro's who've created their Cut Grease look, take a little peak... 1. @nikkietutorials A post shared by NikkieTutorials (@nikkietutorials) on Dec 16, 201

A post shared by Elle Ferguson (@elle_ferguson) on Dec 21, 2017 at 11:59am PST But it's not just any fake tan, the mousse formula to "Elle Effect" is designed in California and is guaranteed to last up to 5 days with a completely streak-free application.

If you haven't watched the Lady Gaga documentary " Five Foot Two" on Netflix yet, do yourselves a solid favour and sit down this Christmas Holidays and watch it. Uninhibitedly raw and undeniably honest, this documentary is a vast diversion from the Gaga that you think you might know. A rare inside into the eclectic and often darkened mind of the starlet, you will find yourself utterly transfixed by her engaging innocence and undoubtably by her perseverance to just get shit done. Five Foot Two is a coming of age documentary for her, a new chapter that closes the previous to her life and career. Often unattained and completely sheltered, Gaga has never been this honest nor this willing to publicise her life, her breakup and her demons. This is a brutally raw, endearingly honest and captivating documentary that will truly change your opinion on her, for the better. As not a strong fan of Gaga, a few girls in the Eyes of Solotica office walked away completely in awe

Huda Kattan has released a foundation to eclipse all foundations. The ever-expanding global empire of Huda Kattan and her www.hudabeauty.com now reaches far beyond her initial Youtube tutorials. With over 20 million dedicated social followers, Huda has been able to grow a beauty and makeup empire that is both universal and inclusive. As part of her global drive to recognise women of all ethnicities, religions and beauty, Huda is due to release the new   #FauxFilter Foundation   which has been designed around 30 desert-inspired shades. A post shared by Huda Kattan (@hudabeauty) on Jul 31, 2017 at 12:04am PDT What this ultimately means for women around the world i, there will be a shade to suit everyone. Due for release in October, the foundation is hotly being anticipated by women worldwide. With a complimenting primer also in the new range, you can bet that this will sell out worldwide quicker than Justin Beiber concert tickets. A post shared by shophudab

There's a new beauty product that has just hit the shelves internationally and it is promising big things to it's consumers. MAC Cosmetics have just launched a new innovation in makeup, more specifically lip colour. The Hint of Colour Lip Oil is a colour oil that works with the PH of your body to transform your lip colour into a fabulous new hue. However, there is a catch. This specific range of lip colours is not yet forecasted to be hitting the shores of Australia just yet. Recently launched in Asia, MAC are focusing on their Asian cult following to build the product prior to trialling it in other countries. Sorry to report ladies, but you'll just have to book an overseas ticket if you are wanting to purchase this miracle lip makeup. We already have our Eyes of Solotica office sleuth onto the case for us...stay tuned. For more beauty news don't forget to head to www.eyesofsolotica.com

Christmas is that time of the year when you have every intention of shopping for others but you leave the chaos of the shopping centres with gifts for yourself. It's hardly surprising that online shopping is even more problematic because you can drink wine and then shop (this is not a combination we advise as money just miraculously disappears from "savings"). So let us here at Eyes of Solotica make it a little easier for you with thanks to Afterpay. What is Afterpay you might ask ? Well basically it's a Christmas miracle. Afterpay is like a layby service only, you purchase the goods on the day, they ship straight away and you pay them off as you are actually using them, shocking right?! Hardly, it's revolutionary and we love Afterpay which is why we offer it. Strapped for cash this Christmas but still want to try Solotica Cosmetic or Solotica prescription lenses? Not worries, follow this link and find out more about Afterpay . Shop with Afterpay

For those of you out there just like some of us here in the office, glasses are just not a fashion accessory, more like a fashion hinderance. If you ask those of us who wear glasses, we would provably tell you that in school we wanted to wear them because all the "smart" kids had them, but if you ask us now...we've all been converted to Solotica Prescription Lenses. Gone are the days when we have to be blind as a bat, wasting our coffee money on monthly prescription lenses, thanks to Solotica we can buy one pair of yearly prescription lenses and look good whilst being able to perve on the cute barista because we actually have coffee money now thanks to Solotica. The prescription range is available exclusively on our website www.eyesofsolotica.com and on there you will find all of the information you need to know but to summarise for you; Solotica prescription lenses will last up to 1 year. -They are not available for astigmatism. -You will have to consult an opto

If there was ever a reason to feel maternal, we've just found it. Ryan the pint-sized powerhouse racks up a cool $AUD 14 Million per year by simply reviewing toys on his YouTube channel ToysReview. Now at 6 years old this little legend is doing was most of us millennials wish we could have done at the same age by cashing in on his love for all things well, childlike. The things that us twenty-somethings in the office at Eyes of Solotica can't seem to wrap our brains around is just how far the social world has evolved when a six year old boy can make more than 10x the annual household income. We were wondering today how different our lives would have been if we had yesterday what the kids of today have? This didn't just start overnight for young Ryan, he first launched his channel at the ripe old age of 3!! Three years old and already a YouTube sensation, jeez we can't even make a three year old sweater work in with our current wardrobes let alone educating t

Kylie Jenner has just launched her new range of lip colours in her Kylie Cosmetics range and we here at Eyes of Solotica are in summer vacation heaven. The Vacation Edition Lip Colours are effervescent based nudes with bronzing tones to them. Our favourite colour by far is the Glamour Super Glitter Gloss which will have your lips shimmering more Golden than a Summer Sun.

We LOVE a statement eye her at Eyes of Solotica . In fact, we simply can't get enough of them. We admire any makeup artist who can create a stunning eye using their makeup tools and skills. When it comes to eyes, a pair of coloured contacts will always enhance your natural beauty. A pair of Solotica lenses is the ultimate way to create a comfortable and natural-looking statement eye. Here are three of our favourite looks using Solotica coloured contacts... @itsisabelbedoya  wearing Solotica Hidrocor Quartzo A post shared by Official Solotica Lenses (@eyesofsolotica) on Apr 25, 2017 at 11:45pm PDT @sheidafashionista  wearing Solotica Hidrocor Ice A post shared by Official Solotica Lenses (@eyesofsolotica) on Apr 24, 2017 at 9:01pm PDT @sl4ytan   wearing Solotica Hidrocor Grafite A post shared by Official Solotica Lenses (@eyesofsolotica) on Apr 24, 2017 at 5:02pm PDT

We at Eyes of Solotica are absolutely addicted to anything that accentuates the eyes. We are obsessed with makeup artistry that not only highlights the eyes, but makes them a complete, alluring statement. We are completely in love with  Lilly Lashes  here in the Eyes of Solotica office, in fact, nearly all of our women wear them which is why we have selected our favourite looks featuring Lilly Lashes ... The Badura Twins looking hot AF in their Lilly Lashes and Solotica Lenses. A post shared by Lilly Lashes (@lillylashes) on Apr 16, 2017 at 8:12pm PDT Rachel Leary breaking hearts with her blue eyes and stunning lashes. A post shared by Lilly Lashes (@lillylashes) on Apr 15, 2017 at 6:50pm PDT Ling.kt looking outrageously fun and sexy with her bold eye makeup A post shared by Blogger&Weirdo (@ling.kt) on Apr 12, 2017 at 12:19pm PDT The truth is ladies, you simply cannot have stunning eyes with Solotica coloured contact lenses.

When it comes to the eyes, they certainly do say it all. We have women emailing us all the time asking how to style their Solotica Coloured Contact Lenses so we thought we should share with you a few of our favourite ways to style your coloured contacts. 1. @dmr319 creates a modern smokey eye with a defined winged eyeliner which adds depth and intrigue to the eyes. A hint of gold bronzing brings light back to the corners of the eye which makes them appear bigger and brighter. Solotica Natural Avela and Solotica Natural Ocre would be perfectly complimented by this look. A post shared by ✨Diana✨ (@dmr319) on Nov 7, 2016 at 8:10pm PST 2. @khelan.mh has created big, beautiful eyes with a natural looking colour palette and a heavy set of long lashes. A natural blush pink coloured eyeshadow opens up the eyes whilst a thin black liquid eyeliner adds a romantic depth to the eye. The real winner in this look is her long curled eyelashes which have been separated to create a

Ladies, there is a new lipstick on the lips of everyone you need to know and we are fortunate enough to get to play around with it each day in the Eyes of Solotica office. Lèvres by LFG is the brainchild of a Melbourne beauty. A makeup artist herself, the founder and creator of Lèvres prides herself on producing a luxurious product that she herself can use on her clients and a product that stands up to the testimonies you will see on social media. A luxurious, vegan friendly Velour Matte Lipstick , this brand is certainly giving the Kylie Lip range a run for it's money. A collection of 6 fundamental neutral colours that every girl needs in her collection, Lèvres ( french for lips) is fast becoming a real contender in the longest wearing lip colour on the market. Now, us girls in the office aren't being bias when we tell you, this lipstick stays on and on and on. It's like an ex who just won't get the hint and leave. This lipstick stays on during coffee bre

If you haven't heard about Bitcoin you have most definitely been living under a rock for the past three months. In fact, Bitcoin has been around for so many years now, it seems that those of us not in the know, have certainly been missing out. Whilst the girls in the Eyes of Solotica office are still trying to figure out just how crypto currency works, it seems the rest of the world has caught on and some of the biggest names in the money business such as Lamborghini and Microsoft accept Bitcoin as a form of formidable payment. You mean, you can use virtual money to buy a new whip? I thought that was the purpose of my credit card? Whilst i cannot begin to fathom the statistics behind the latest way to pay around the world what i do know is, Eyes of Solotic a are about to introduce the Bitcoin as a form of accepted payment and we want to know what you think of this? There are so many questions around Bitcoin. Who uses it, how do you use it, what do you buy with it, can yo

There's a new fashion cult that has just hit the shores of Australia and it's born and bred in New Zealand. Allbirds wool sneakers have officially launched into Australia following their climb to notoriety with Instagram. The young brand has gained a whirlwind of traction in the last 3 months with sneaker freaks going crazy for their wool designs. A post shared by Allbirds (@allbirds) on Nov 27, 2017 at 9:18am PST The brand itself is built on the fact that it prides itself on producing sustainable, high-quality sneakers that are suitable for everyday wear. With two minimal styles to choose from and a neutral colour palette of designs, it would be impossible not to be able to choose a pair. Below are some of the designs the girls in the Eyes of Solotica office love...

When it comes to motivational women, sometimes you have to look outside the norm and delve through the depths of the materialism to filter through and find the extraordinary. Seeing how Melbourne was basically snowed in with all of this rain on the weekend, i was able to read a little more about the women i admire and ask the Eyes of Solotica girls about theirs and one woman in particular who was spoken of was, Miuccia Prada. Miuccia Prada   is the woman responsible for two of the biggest fashion houses in the world, Prada and Miu Miu (after her nickname). A woman who originally began her career in political science, in 1970 she graduated Milan university with her degree in Political Science to three years later receive her Ph.D. She studied the art of mime for ten years until her parents intervened, putting as stop to what they assumed was a dead end. Responsible for reigniting her families ailing fashion business, Muiccia is the reason why both women and men worldwide tod

A post shared by KORA Organics (@koraorganics) on Nov 16, 2017 at 11:35am PST More than a highlighter. this multidimensional pot of Rose Gold is a health retreat in a pretty package.
