A Tame Zebra & A Mini Falsies Giveaway

To switch things up a bit on the blog, I wanted to show a simple look for going out. I've never had trouble finding clothes for going out - the abundance of stretchy minidresses at H&M or F21 usually suffice for petite frames.
Outfit:
Dress: H&M sz 2 (olddd)
Elastic Belt: H&M sz S

"Glammed up" face:
NYC Black Liquid Liner

There is zero variety in my makeup application. For evening, I use the same products from my everyday work face, just with a heavier hand. Here I have darkened the shadow around the outer corners of my eye, intensified the bronzer in the hollows of my cheeks, and slapped on some falsies and lip gloss.

Bling beaded sandals: Zara (similar here)

Close-up of the Model21 #40 lashes:
Model 21 is a false eyelash company (thank you Aubrey and Sophia for the rec!) which makes an awesome variety of lashes at bargain prices. Lashes are $6-$9 per box and a box gives you ten pairs! They sent me two boxes to review and I asked for a third to give to readers (I'm always thinkin of you guys!).

I wanted to post photos of the other styles I received too but for some reason the lashes came out looking almost exactly the same. I asked for natural-looking styles, and got #1 and #40. I thought the lashes were very full and soft (felt much softer than my ELF ones), but the spine was hard and plastic-y. On the other hand, the 3rd box of lashes (no # ?) had the softest, most comfortably spine, but they were a lil' too natural looking for me. Overall though, I would definitely buy this brand - a great value for nice and soft falsies.

I put together a "combo" box to give away with lashes from all three styles. **Giveaway Closed** I'll select a winner at random in a few days (international readers are welcome to enter).
