To Lash Lift or Not To Lash Lift

Image
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

Alexis Stone: She's Kind Of A Big Deal

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.

The New Cut Grease Makeup Technique and Who You Should Be Following

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

The Low Down On The Elle Effect

The beach goddess Elle Fergusson has finally released word as to what her " Elle Effect " is and we had an inclination all along which is why we are so pleased to announce that the "Elle Effect" is in fact a Fake Tan. 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.

Lady Gaga - The New and Improved Woman on The Rise

Image
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

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.

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

Image
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.

Feeling Maternal? Here's AUD$14 Million Reasons Why

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

Styling Your Solotica Coloured Contact Lenses - Here's What You Need To Know

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.

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.

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

To Bitcoin or Not To Bitcoin - That Is In Fact The Million Dollar Question

Image
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

Miuccia Prada - Not Just A Force In Fashion

Image
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
