Luxury brands love consumers to boast their names and labels all over their bodies. Sunglasses, shoes, pants, shirts, dresses, belts, and wallets- the list goes on and on. Nearly everything we wear or carry holds the option to upgrade to a first class status. Dior has taken the aphorism, “the eyes are the window to the soul”, and decided to become our curtains. Sparkly contacts with the “CD” label are the latest/oddest in eye embellishing technology.  Enhancing your natural eye color with a slight tint and glistening irises, you can forget changing your eye color all together and pop in the Dior lenses to brighten your face with an extra element of sparkle and offer another way to sport a luxury name.

Marc Jacobs pulls out another stop on his self-branding world takeover. Featuring himself oiled up and naked on his latest cologne campaign may have been the single-most ingenious step in his young and powerful career.  Marc has always been hott, but now we know exactly HOW hott he really is! If this photo doesn’t sell men’s cologne, I don’t know what possibly could.

Explaining the thought process in featuring himself as the face of BANG, he places the credit with his business partner Robert Duffy. “Robert and I work closely with Coty on these projects, and he said, ‘Marc, you look so great now-you should model for the men’s fragrance.’ My immediate reaction was, I don’t know. But then I came to see that it made sense. Men’s fragrance, unlike women’s in a certain way, is very personal. It’s a layer on top of the skin-for women, it can be like changing a makeup color, but not for men.” Whatever the motives, good work Marc.

With the incredible and never failing mascaras, glue-on eyelashes, and expensive eyelash extensions, you would think that the beauty society had reached the peak of eyelash enhancing technology. Eyes being the windows to our souls, we obsess on showcasing them with dramatic, youth projecting, luscious, long and sexy lashes. Surpassing all the “lash styling” listed above; one company has found the secret beyond. Stitching the curtains to our eyes, Paperself Eyelashes combine ancient Chinese symbols, the fixation with gorgeous lashes, and the inexplicable perseverance to express feelings, thoughts and self-opinions via body décor. Paperself Eyelashes provide the modern women with a new way to show who she is and what she wants.

Tattoos scream needles and permanence; whereas these lashes can be changed daily and subtlety create a conversation piece of your innermost thoughts and dreams. Each cutout has a sacred meaning such as success, happiness or the representation for love. No matter your mood, Paperself provides another opportunity for you to physically represent who you are and what you want, while exuding a big-eyed, innocent demure.
