People seem somewhat sceptical when celebs go into the cosmetics market, but everyone who's anyone has their name branded across perfume, with tans, falsies and clothes range in the offing.
This is written to you from an uber Paris Hilton fan. I've loved her since she was really noticed in The Simple Life, granted there's a bit more love with Nicole by her side... But none the less, my obsession is still ongoing.
Her range of cosmetics began with her self titled Paris Hilton perfume, she now has her name on just about anything, with the latest being false nails and eyelashes.
I was sent the 'Natural Beauty' set, which includes nude, french tipped nails and 'heavily flared' lashes.
I questioned the natural title of the lashes when I first saw them, but they don't look half as scary on.
They apply easily and maintain the curved band. I've worn them out once and I can see a few more uses in them yet. They remind me of the original Cheryl Cole lashes from Eylure, the application is the same and the thick band and grouped lashes gives the same definition.
These are for the brave, they are a little too
unnatural for me. I prefer quite natural volume with some fakery in the length.
They lasted all night and I'd compare the staying power of the glue to that of Eylure.
False nails aren't new to me, but I still relish in the experience every time they're applied. The pack comes with 24 different sizes, to me, looks like one small and one large for each nail. There is also a mini nail file and a vial of nail glue included.
I found a perfect fit for each nail. You're instructed to apply the glue straight onto the natural nail, then press the fake nail over top until the glue has dried.
This is exactly what I did, it's a lot easier than applying the glue to the false nail and trying to position it correctly.
The tiny daisies and embellishments give a detailed twist to the normal french manicure, but definitely tick the 'Natural Beauty' category. The nails are just the right length for me, you could be fooled into thinking they're natural, especially if you paint over them with your own colour.
Depending on the amount of glue you apply, they last well. I've had to reapply both the index fingers a few times, but the others lasted great.
As always there is a little damage to my nails after removing them but it's nothing too bad. If you find there is too much dried up glue left behind, gently buff it off with a mild nail file, but you will need to leave some damage to grow out. The price of beauty!
The Paris Hilton range currently has four designs in nails and eyelashes, ranging from the pink tipped
Super Girly to the diamante encrusted
Glamour Lashes.
These are definitely for the Paris's amongst us, the girly girls.
The false nails (£6.59) and false eyelashes (£5.06) ranges are available now from Superdrug and Tesco.
