Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!).

Oh man, this one from VIA favourite sp_clarke is so good. In the spooky spirit of the season I give you the trees have eyes.

In a pinch for a Halloween costume this weekend? Make a couture statement and go the way of “Lady Gaga” for the festivities. Noir Lash Lounge introduces paper eyelashes – the newest trend to help glam up those windows to the soul – yes we’re talking about your eyes here!

Inspired by the art of Chinese paper cutting, each lash design has a symbolic meaning, where the horses represent success, the peony sends happiness and good fortune and peach blossoms spell love and romance.

Paper lashes may be too outrageous for your everyday look but Halloween is the perfect time to test the boundaries. Still not convinced? Not to worry. Noir Lash Lounge also carries the largest range of regular false lashes in BC and have lash technicians on hand to apply them for you!

Paper Eyelashes (range $21 – $23)
available at:
Noir Lash Lounge
1150 Hamilton Street (Yaletown)
3065 Granville Street (South Granville)
#106 – 16745 Croydon Drive (Morgan Crossing – Surrey)
