The tokyo lash bar opened in2 005 world-wide, it is a testament to shu uemura’s heritage as an eyelash artist. It quickly became an international phenomenon.

Each year the tokyo lash bar continues to elevate the lash to new dimensions. In 2008 the master of false eyelashes shu uemura collaborates with fashions most talked about brand, avant-garde masters Viktor & Rolf. Together they have created the ultimate luxury “fashion beauty” accessories that give a new haute couture concept to lashes. Couture eyelashes for a maximum transformation of everyday make-up into a spectacular beauty event.
I really want the Rhombus ones!ﾃあ I can’t really tell you why, but I’m so drawn to them.ﾃあ Will I pick up a pair?ﾃあ Very, very doubtful!ﾃあ At $95 a pop, these are a bit steep for me.ﾃあ But what about you?
Wing A messenger of hope
“These lashes were created with the concept of the eye becoming a dove, the delicate minature wings give the eyes an expression of bewilderment, enchantment. The mind wanders and airborne, a messenger of hope.” — Viktor & Rolf
See the two other specially designed lashes…
Swirl A blink of a smile
“The Swirl lash is an instant smile, the blink of an eye, a moment of attraction between the wearer and the person who was lucky enoguh to steal a glance. If ever a statement was true: a moment can last forever.” — Viktor & Rolf
Rhombus A glance of treasure
“A glance with a certain measure, directed to a certain someone is like a precious diamond, something to be treasured.” — Viktor & Rolf
Availability: September 2008, each retailing at $95.

Much as I hate false lashes, the Rhombus ones are gorgeous.

How come you don’t like false lashes, Sanayhs?
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
WOW, I <3 Viktor & Rolf! Mainly because of Flowerbomb. These lashes definitely fall into my “when-I’m-super-rich-and-can-buy-every-kind-of-makeup-product-imaginable” category =)
Friday, August 8, 2008
Haha, yes, EXACTLY!
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
Beautiful, but i’m good with some Red Cherry lashes, LOL
Friday, August 8, 2008
Haha, yeah, I think I will have to be content without them, too!
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
The Wing ones remind me of paper clips!
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
haha i was just going to say that!
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
I third that.
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
Makes me laugh!! I was thinking the same thing!
Thursday, August 7, 2008
LOL no way!! I also thought the same!! apparently they mis-designed them!! << is this even a word!!
Friday, August 8, 2008
OMG, Carrie! LOL!

MakeUp Forever makes same kind of funky and very gorgeous false lashes for only $20 at Sephora!
Friday, August 8, 2008
I don’t think I’ll be splurging on either, LOL. I am terrible at applying falsies!
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
My fave is Swirl. I have seen these lashes in person, and they are truly works of art and collector’s items, even if they are too dramatic to wear. And they are super limited ed too. And they come in a jewel box, with the lashes resting on the mask thingy. Truly divine!!
Friday, August 8, 2008
Nice! WIll you be getting a pair?
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
$95 SERRRRRIOUSLY?! Any girl could make her own lashes for far far cheaper, if you want them to wear and not as a Viktor & Rolf collectible.
The Rhombus ones look like delicate little bits of gold material glued to regular lashes. You could do the same with a tiny pair of manicure scissors, some fancy thin gold paper/ faux gold leaf from an arts/ crafts store, some eyelash glue, and a pair of plain fake lashes!
Think of how much MAC you could buy for $95. :D
Friday, August 8, 2008
You are far too creative for me ;P
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
AHAHAHA! The first ones look like paperclips!! XD
But I like the lipstick on the model!
Friday, August 8, 2008
LOL, interesting!!
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
…..riiiiiiiiiiight
Friday, August 8, 2008
Tekoa, with the realism, for the win ;)
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
What a gorgeous visual, cant believe its not MAC.
Friday, August 8, 2008
Glad you like the visual, Ess!
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
I like the mask it’s on, but 95 dollars for eyelashes that:
a.look like paperclips
b.look similar to alot of ones out there
c.Don’t really catch my eye.
Is really ridiculous to me, I mean for 14 dollars I can get a really dramatic pair of eyelashes that can be really similar to these from Make up forever.
Friday, August 8, 2008
I think ultimately these are a collector’s item, moreso than for practical wear! I mean, you’d see this in the museum of false lash history if there was one!
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
Two months ago, I got a pair “flip”, you see another color when you flip. If you like the lashes you shouldn’t miss it.
Friday, August 8, 2008
Oh, cool! What a neat idea ;)
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
i know i won’t purchase them but i favour the swirl ones :)
Friday, August 8, 2008
Yeah, I like the Rhombus ones, but I don’t see myself buying either!
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
aah, i saw these in the window of harvey nichols.
i think i must be the only person to like the wing ones, haha
Friday, August 8, 2008
I bet you aren’t, Emm! I’m sure some like the Wing ones too :)
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
I think they’re all very interesting, and I love those last two, but not for $95. I understand they’re couture, but I feel I could probably get some dupes made or even make some lashes of my own for that much.
Hm, my own lashes…
Friday, August 8, 2008
I’d love to see some of you DIY some lashes!
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
Nope…not for me.
Thursday, August 7, 2008
Wing and Swirl are so lush.. not too keen on Rhombus really.. bit chunky, not enough lashes for me. Still awesome though.. buuuut i can buy the same sort of thing from stargazer so never mind.
Friday, August 8, 2008
I think I like how chunky the Rhombus ones are, personally, just because they look so odd, LOL.
Thursday, August 7, 2008
Wow… those are gorgeous, but I think I’ll stick to eBay!
Thursday, August 7, 2008
I saw these on another beauty blog and I think they look marv, but don’t think I’d ever spend that much on fake lashes.
Friday, August 8, 2008
Me neither! Look pretty, but the price is too much for my budget, lol!
Friday, August 8, 2008
I love the swirl….
Monday, August 11, 2008
I love the 1st one the most!!!It’s Brilliant!!!!
The price r even more amazing!!
I guess I will have to DIY…Hmm,..paper clips…paper clips..
OUCHHHHHH!!!!!!!WTF, my eyes!!!!!!!!!1
LOL!!!!!!
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
LOL, DIY paper clip lashes…
Thursday, November 13, 2008
I’m with the others who dislike false eyelashes (it looks gaudy to me, I just prefer the natural lash look) – but I especially dislike those first ones here. They look like paperclips :/
