Shu Uemera lives up to the hype, says straight-lashed girl

As previously mentioned (over and over), I made use of my wait time at Heathrow's Terminal 5 by browsing gorgeous things I can't have, but I did come away with a real gem.

Finally, I own a Shu Uemera eyelesh curler. Despite hearing for years how amazing they are, I somehow neglected to pick one up. Upon trying it (without mascara applied after) I can say that the feel and results are superior to anything I've used before.

The curler is designed to fit any eye, and that's the difference. While I can see that it would well fit someone with much larger eyes, it was completely comfortable and I didn't have cold metal rammed against my upper eyelid as is with other makes. The pads are of a much higher quality and don't pull or tug on the lashes.

I have yet to try it with mascara (being jetlagged I forgot to use it the one time since being back that I wore mascara) but I can see that it does curl my lashes. And the price of £15 is generally inexpensive for something that actually works. Plus, they say with daily use you'll get six months out of the two pads that are included. I should be able to stretch mine out for several years, then!

A cause for a trip to Sephora!..while I'm at it, what was your recommendation for mascara? I recall something from a post a few months ago but too lazy to go searching.

Ah, that was Rimmel's Magnif'eyes. The brush doesn't look like much (I usually look for those teddy bear brushes) but it does separate well (no clumps) and does the trick with or without a primer (I love Stila's, and Clinique's is great. MAC's is okay)
