Most recent purchases?

Is the Chella one the heated one that you just comb through your lashes?  I've tried 2 different brands of those and haven't been impressed.  My lashes grow straight down and it doesn't even look like I have lashes unless they're curled - even with endless amounts of mascara on.  The best curler I've found so far was a cheap one that I found at Kmart - I don't even know the brand name of it.  It's black with green on the inside of the handles.  It gives me a great curl, but it pinches and I've notice that it yanks out a few precious lashes on occasion.  I have found that even the worst ones work better when I heat them with a blow dryer though.  I may just want too much from a curler, lol.

What I do is do like 5-10 pulses (squeeze for a second or two and release) per eye.  It seems to work quite nicely (and better than the more expensive eyelash curlers I had purchased before it).

Meh.  The Chella one doesn't seem to work very well for me.  It's a little disappointing.

My mom gave me some things from her Eco Emi this month, and I bought the Coty Airspun Loose Powder in Translucent from Walgreens (marked down on clearance to $1.99).

I purchased A TON from blog sales a couple weeks ago + I get paid on Friday, so I plan to do a bit more blog sale shopping, and then my grocery and Target shopping on Saturday

And then all of my sub services . . . . :/

It's probably a good thing that I don't ever try no-buys

I bought a Kevyn Aucoin curler and it took a bit to master - but I like it a LOT now.  I used one of those $25 off $50 BeautyFix/DermStore coupons so felt like I got it for free.

I tried Tarte's curler which gets rave reviews, but it didn't fit my eyeball shape.  If I recall, it works best on smaller and/or asian eyes.  I have big eyeballs with tons of lid space.  I will say, what I could fit into the Tarte curler got curler really well though.

The ENTIRETY of the new MAC Archie's Girls collection, as well as the new Viva Glam Nicki 2 lipstick and lipgloss... I'm a bit of a glutton for all things new and MAC.

Yes.  I might have had too much mascara on when I used it and that weighed my lashes down.  I'm going to try it today with less mascara.  I have 2 or 3 lashes in the middle of my left eye that just won't freaking curl - they just go straight out, even after trying to curl them.  The reason I liked my Sephora eyelash curler so much is because it never pulled out any lashes.  Does your Japonesque eyelash curler look like those travel ones (all sort of one piece of plastic, not the metal kind with handles)?  The only thing about my Sephora eyelash curler I didn't like was that the curl didn't last long unless I put mascara on IMMEDIATELY after and, if I put eyeliner on before curling my lashes, the eyeliner would smudge.

I heard abt the ulta gift, so of course I had to order.  I got some hair products for my kids and a ft crem for myself.

I went to walgreens and got sale stuff. I've never used false eyelashes so I bout a trio kit and a set of eyelashes from ardell, and since summer/spring is coming quickly and my boyfriend keeps telling me that were going to be spending alot of time at the lakehouse, I bought some Jergen's tan jumpstart stuff, it works quickly, and then you can just use the tanning moisurizer afterwards to keep it up. and also some l'oreal sunscreen(after sale and coupon that my lovely beauty counter cashier had it was $1.99 woot!) and a pack of gum for $.69 and some more stuff I don't remember..... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh, I love my UPS man.  He usually doesn't get to my house till about 4.30, but he arrived a little over an hour early today because he tries to get to me as soon as possible.  I can't wait to try the Too Faced lip primer!

My Sephora package came! I can't wait for tomorrow so I can try out the new Blinc mascara. The wand is much nicer on this one. Also my new liner and Stila In The Light palette! Yay! Also got a mini Tarte BB Primer cream... will try that under my foundation tomorrow and see if it lasts longer. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I bought a heated ardell one because strawberryelectric on youtube had it and her recommendations usually are on point for me, but it was the worst lash curler i've ever used. my elf one (was like $1 or something) was amazing but also pinched so i quit using it. i have a tarte one now but the method mentioned above (pulsing the curler) is what I do and it works wonderfully!

I LOVE shopping blog sales. ESPECIALLY for nail polish!!!! =)

Forget what I said earlier about the Chella heated eyelash curler.  I tried it this morning RIGHT after applying my mascara.  I held it to my eyelashes for 13 seconds (in 3 sections per eye - outer, middle, inner) once per eye and it actually stayed curled all day.  It even curled those stubborn eyelashes on my left eye.  I don't know if it was worth $20, but I like it.

So late on the reply here, but up until the Eyeko Mascara, I have only used drugstore brands. I just tried it out right now, and I actually like it. Can't say if it is good in comparison to like....MAC or MUFE and such, but for my first higher end mascara, I love it. I might have to buy a full sized wand in the future of it.

 

[CheshireCookie]

I actually NEED a smaller sized eyelash curler...my eyes are pretty small and my eyelashes slant down so it's a PAIN to curl them. Anyone know a good quality curler that's great for smaller eyes?

 

[Starrysky]

I also have small eyes and have given up on eyelash curlers. Seriously. It's pretty sad. do curlers make that much of a difference? On me they have not but I have dismal lashes.

I have noticed a difference after using Argan Oil on my lashes every night and also holding my eyelash curler for 25 seconds every time I use it...but still my eyelashes just LOOOOVE being difficult lol

I like the Shu Uemura and Shishedo eyelash curlers. I have small eyes with short lashes and those work the best for me.

You got the skinny one, right?  I've been meaning to try that one.
