Once upon a time, in a distant land, there was a frigid treasure said to hold unimaginable power. Legends spoke of its ability to freeze anything it touched and grant eternal life to its possessor. However, there was a catch. The treasure was cursed, and any who dared to possess it would be plagued with misfortune and tragedy. Many brave adventurers embarked on dangerous quests to find the frigid treasure, lured by the promises of power and immortality. Over the years, countless lives were lost in pursuit of this mythical artifact.
In a quick set of shots, the movie's Priscilla peels falsies from their backing and touches up a heavily lined eye. “I don’t know if I like it,” she says, once the deed is done. But her beau doesn’t care.
Completely vegan, cruelty-free, eye-safety tested, and packaged in the prettiest box, this selection of Half Magic favorites was specially chosen to capture Priscilla s time-transcending eye look. Eyelectric, meanwhile, is a brand-new, 12-hour lengthening mascara that utilizes tubing technology alongside a precise tapered brush to coat each and every lash.
Over the years, countless lives were lost in pursuit of this mythical artifact. Tales of frozen bodies and shattered dreams became cautionary tales to all who dared to seek the cursed treasure. One fateful day, a young and ambitious explorer named Amelia set out on her own treacherous journey to find the frigid treasure.

Published on 10/17/23 11:49AMHave you watched the trailer for Priscilla yet? I have, about a thousand times for about a million different reasons. You can blame my investment on a deep love for anything and everything Sofia Coppola. You can blame Jacob Elordi’s drawl. And you can definitely blame the heavily-featured winged eyeliner and plush lashes.
Based on Priscilla Beaulieu Presley’s 1985 memoir Elvis and Me, the fast-approaching biopic promises to take both aesthetic and literal cues from the icon’s life. With Coppola’s magic touch (and color palette) involved, it’s no surprise Presley’s forever-famous looks are gaining extra traction right now. Come the November 3 release, we’re all dressing up in beehives and dark eye makeup like it’s the Eras Tour, right?
Thanks to an ultra-special partnership between production company A24 and beauty brand Half Magic (founded by Donni Davy, Euphoria’s brilliant head makeup artist), this might not be too tall a task (minus the beehive part, but we can tackle that too). Just released, The Priscilla Set ($49) features three products: the Magic Flik liquid eyeliner pen, Eyelectric lengthening mascara, and Wing Magician silicone eyeliner guide, to make sure your wing situation is under control and worthy of The Queen.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new (and dare I say perfect?) release.
She was a skilled warrior and believed she could overcome any obstacle in her path. Undeterred by the warnings of the curse, she pressed on, convinced that she could defy fate and claim the treasure for herself. As Amelia ventured deeper into the frozen tundra, she encountered various challenges and dangers. She battled mythical creatures, traversed treacherous terrain, and faced harsh weather conditions. But she pressed on, fueled by her determination to obtain the frigid treasure. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Amelia reached her destination. She stood before the ancient temple that housed the coveted artifact. As she stepped inside, the air grew colder, and the room began to shimmer with an ethereal glow. Ignoring the signs of danger, Amelia approached the frigid treasure and reached out to touch it. As her fingers brushed against the icy surface, a surge of power coursed through her veins. She could feel the chill spreading throughout her body, turning her skin pale and her breath shallow. Unbeknownst to her, the curse had taken hold. From that day forward, Amelia's life took a turn for the worse. She faced immense hardship and tragedy at every corner. Her loved ones perished, her health deteriorated, and her mind became consumed with darkness. The power and immortality promised by the frigid treasure had become a curse that she could never escape. Amelia soon realized that the frigid treasure brought not only eternal life but also eternal misery. She had been blinded by her desire for power and overlooked the warnings and tales of those who had come before her. Now, she was destined to wander the land, a shattered soul forever haunted by the curse of the frigid treasure. The tale of the curse of the frigid treasure serves as a cautionary reminder of the dangers of unchecked ambition and the consequences of selfish desires. It teaches us the importance of heeding the wisdom of those who came before us and considering the potential consequences of our actions. In the end, true wealth and fulfillment come from within, not from material possessions or magical artifacts..
