I like the theory that the eyebrows should match the roof- this gets a big thumbs up from me!

Thanks again for all of your hard work!

Not sure if I missed it, but how much will these cost? How long will it take to receive one? I really really want one. Thanks.

I would imagine it is too soon to ask....but I have a new Mini Cooper "coupe" due to arrive in October. Any plans on making your shades for the "coupe"? Thank you in advance

As you can see with these two right next to each other, the grays are not the same color.

Cost has not yet been determined and I'm still working on getting my prototype. For now, I'm only doing request images until we can get these into production. If you'd like to be added to the list, just let me know what colors you'd like, your shade type (list is on my MINI Eyes website), and what expression you'd like.

Ohh I just saw mine so cute! (#59) its it possible to have the eyelashes be a bit different? like maybe just toward the ends and kinda curled to give her a bit of a glam look? Kind of like smurfette? for lack of a better example?
I really like the idea of them being double sided. maybe glam girl on one side and Nerd girl on the other (ie add nerd glasses with tape heehe)

Oh PS. Its now for CR/W 11 MCS Teeehee

I still need to know what eye color you'd like, and the other expression for the second side of your shade.

Sorry about that, I used the wrong gray on the Playful one. It's fixed now!
