The Battle of Straight Lashes

My girls/guys who have straight or even pointing down lashes will understand the struggle. It's real.

You could get the mascara that everyone is raving about and be so disappointed. Or you could get the most expensive eyelash curlers then apply your mascara and it's back to the beginning.

This has been my battle since I started using makeup. It was the first thing I was aware of and it has annoyed me since. My lashes are average length and stubbornly straight.

I've recently discovered a combo that keeps my lashes curled and amazing ALL DAY. No joke.

I feel that both your eyelash curler AND mascara are very important. It wasn't until I was using any old curler and a good mascara and I switched to the old faithful and extremely raved about Shu Uemura Eye Lash Curler that I almost fell off my chair.

I'm currently using the Maybelline Rocket WATERPROOF Mascara (the waterproof part is important as the normal version doesn't do squat) but there are many mascaras out there that hold a curl wonderfully. This mascara is good and held a semi curl if I tortured my lashes with my drugstore curler but as soon as I switched to the Shu Uemura curler, everything changed. My lashes were super SUPER curled all day.

I did try using these curlers with a different volumizing mascara (L'Oreal Miss Manga) and my curl just limped after a minute.

I hoped you liked this post, please let me know of any products that I'd find useful!

Current Beauty Wishlist

We all have them beauty items that we hear amazing things of but never get around to purchasing them? This is my current list!

 

Zoeva Brush Set

 

I've heard so many good things about the Zoeva brushes and REALLY want to get my hands on them. I remember looking for where I could get them a few months back and they didn't seem that accessible but I've recently discovered that BeautyBay now stock them!

 

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

 

I don't really need to say much about why I want this, once you start, you can't stop. I've got the Naked 1 & 2 so it would be rude not to add this to my collection. I also think out of all 3 palettes that I would use this the most.

 

NARS Sin Blush

 

This has been on my list for SO long I can't even remember. I think I remember Tanya Burr mentioning it in a tutorial a year or two ago and wanted it ever since. But now it's coming into Autumn I think it will be perfect & I have nothing like it in my collection.

 

Shu Uemura Eye Lash Curler

 

Again, not much to say really. We all know it's the best out there at the moment. I'm a huge eyelash curler so I don't know why I haven't got this yet!?

 

 

I'm off to Greece in a few days so I'm going to make it my mission to pick up some of these from the airport duty free if they are available!

 

What's on your current beauty wishlist? Do you want to try any of these items too?
