Glam Manicare Jessica Lash
Glam Manicare Jessica Lash Full, long lashes have been compared as the little black dress of the makeup world - always in style and effortlessly chic. The Glam Manicare Jessica Lash is just that. It suites every eye shape and gives a glamorous yet natural, flirty look that presents timeless elegance.
An essential in any woman's wardrobe, the little black dress transcends trends and time, always applicable to wear no matter the occasion. When a woman dons a little black dress, she is telling the world that she is worldly, elegant and stylish with just a hint of glamour and mystery.
Glam's Jessica Lash creates a natural and flirty look one very eye shape. The black flexible band curves around the eye whilst creating a lift that hides imperfections and captures light in all the right places. This stunning natural lash adds length, thickness and definition without being overbearing, allowing girls to extend their lash line beautifully.
From Audrey Hepburn, Coco Chanel, Bridgett Bardot and Marilyn Monroe to Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Biel, lush lashes have always been a starlet classic, just like the LBD.
Glam Expert and Professional Makeup Artist Allie Clarke says "when applying false lashes always life your chin and look down into the mirror, balance the lash on the tip of your natural lashes and slide the lashes up your natural lash, so that the band is in contact with your eye lid, near the roots of your natural lashes".

Layla Magneffect Nail Polish
LAYLA Magneffect Nail Polish From stickers to stencils, pens to shatter effect, when it comes to nail art, we've seen it all. Or so we thought
LAYLA Magneffect Nail Polish is the next generation of nail art, guaranteed to instantly give your nails the wow factor with one swish of the bottle's magnetic lid.
Made in Italy by cosmetics giant LAYLA, Magneffect will dazzle you with its simple application and appearance. Available in 24 metallic shades including chromes, bronzes and brights. Magneffect's revolutionary formula has been specially developed to react to the magnet in the cap, creating instant, three-dimensional designs in seconds.
Requiring no base coat or top coat, Magneffect Nail Polish sweeps over the nail, giving a bold flash of shimmering colour. While the polish is still wet, simply hold the bottle lid over your freshly painted nail for five to 10 seconds and watch the amazing magnetic pattern appear instantly. To change the direction of the patterned lines, simply change the director of the marked line on the magnetic cap.
Magneffect contains no formaldehyde, toluene, camphor or DBP and can also be used as regular nail polish without the magnetic effect. Time poor fashionistas will appreciate its quick-drying, single coat formula, while those with a little more time 'on their hands' can experiment with French mani's and pedi's or by combining two shades on one nail!
So forget messy DIY designs and unimaginative colours, magnet nail polish is the ultimate nail art trend taking the beauty world by storm, and Magneffect has a shade for every occasion. Available from selected Price Attack stores and around Australia for RRP: $19.95.
