For a long time I've been using an eyelash curler that was custom made for me in Japan, until my dog got to it and buried it somewhere in my back yard! Since I've heard such great things about this one I decided to try it, and it was cheap too. This is really great, everyone probably already has one of these but still, I am so happy I got this !!!!!!!!!! It curls lashes nicely and makes my eyes huge, with mascara it looks like I have fake eyelashes on.
