Bat Those Paperself Lashes

Feel like faux eyelashes are getting to be a bit boring? Australian brand Paperself agrees, and their origami eyelashes, inspired by Chinese paper cutting, are nothing short of fabulous. While the brand's unique products are not necessarily breaking news, their latest vendor is — you can now get your hands on these butterfly kissers at our number one beauty destination: Sephora.

At $19 a pop, the lashes are totally reusable and each set has a unique meaning (Dear & Butterfly = free, beautiful, and sensitive). Not spiritual enough for you? Well, the lashes can easily be cut up and combined with other designs — like Peach Blossoms, Under The Sea, and Clown — to create a more intricate and dynamic effect.

Talk about the eyes being the window to the soul, huh?

What's next, paper eyelashes? Yes, please!

We're actually being serious here. There is such a thing as paper eyelashes. Read on...

So these are, basically, just paper eyelashes. Yup, just paper! You can apply them with basic eyelash glue. It's that simple. The fantastic maker of these is PAPERSELF
 
There are three great designs to choose from and each of these represent Chinese symbols. The horses symbolize success, the peony is for happiness and good fortune, and the peach blossom is a symbol of love and romance. You also have the choice between two different sizes. The designer Ting Yu Wang got his inspiration from the art of Chinese paper cutting.

To shop for these beauties you will need to visit either London or Australia. If you can't do that, then check out ELEVATE. They ship to the US, and with a purchase price of about $23.50, who can say no?
