Beauty Trend: Prime Time

By May | February 19, 2009

Discovering primer was the best thing to happen to me since discovering the the joint benefits of mascara and shu uemura eyelash curlers.

Bat For Lashes

By May | October 29, 2008

Halloween is everyone’s excuse to slap on the campy makeup, wear the shortest dresses and highest heels, revel in political incorrectness and indulge in debauchery frowned upon every other day of the year.

Golden Eye(lashes)

By May | October 22, 2008

Yes, I’m completely guilty of brand abandonment.

Obsession: Tarte Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler

I’m an eyelash nazi.

The curl has to be the curliest it can go and each lash has to be darkened as dramatically as possible with the mascara brand I’m obsessing over at that moment (read: Maybelline’s The Colossal Volum Express in Glam Black). I’ve spent my money on shu uemura and Shiseido eyelash curlers, and even more dollar bills on eyelash primers. Yup, I wasn’t lying when I said eyelash nazi.

Shu Uemura Vs. Japonesque

By May | August 25, 2008

It’s Japan vs. Japan in this battle of the eyelash curlers.

In corner one, we have the original metal warrior from shu uemura ($16), the go-to eyelash curling tool of champions beloved by top makeup artists and the general public. Engineered to produce that perfectly curved band of lashes, its silicone “mushroom” pad and patented hinge have that legendary Japanese precision.

In the other corner, is the Go Curl Eyelash Curler from Japonesque ($10.50), the newer kid on the block with something to prove.
