Part 3: Twirling Thursday

So you’re done spending the first few days of the week doing damage control, it’s now time to perk up your mood a little bit with perky pretty eyes.

Now let me lay this out on the table first: the heat curling eyelash tool was an overrated, over priced fad. Seriously. Don’t even start with vibrating mascaras. Now someone had to have too wild of an imagination somewhere. I’ve worked along side makeup artists and have peeked into their bags, and had them peek into mine, and we’ve yet to find any of the two abovementioned items in them. Sorry girls, you’ve been duped by clever marketing.

That normal, humble and metal eyelash curler you’ve had all along works just fine. You want lasting curled lashes? Get a hairdryer or a good long-lasting mascara, or a waterproof one  to make sure it’ll be melt-proof  in this humidity. First blow your eyelash curler with the hairdryer, then check the heat by the putting it on your chin – and you’re all set to curl! If you’re still using plastic eyelash curlers, just get rid of them already. They’re more of a disposal item, so don’t even let yourself pay more than $3 for it, when you can buy a metal one for just $2. They last longer and cleans easier.

If you really do need to ask about ‘vibration’, all you have to do is coat your lashes from the roots to its tips while moving gently sideways. Nothing too vigorous! And there you go: vibration. :)
