When I found the Model In A Bottle Matte Finish Makeup Spray the other day, I also found this Eyelash Curler from the MIAB products lineup. Compare to the Women Artemis Double Eyelash Curler, the MIAB Eyelash curler is smaller and compact. It will fit in any makeup bag so it’s a very travel friendly kind of lash gadget. It’s cute. no? It looks like it’s easy to handle as well.

This MIAB Eyelash curler is $9 and it comes with a replacement pad.

The Winner Of The Artemis Women Heat Lash Curler Is….

I almost want to shell out $34 just to see if it really works. When you press a button on the Oscillation mascara, the brush designed with smooth formula wraps every lash up to 360°.

I’ve actually tried something similar called SpinLash. The latter is ok. Nothing earth shattering. Which keeps me longing for something better. Now the question is, should I pay $34 for review purposes? I happen to like my other Lancome products, like the eyeshadows so I know I could trust Lancome. I’m still a little hesitant though. If any of you have tried it, please let me and the readers know if Lancome Oscillation Powermascara is really worth $34.

As part of Sephora’s Limited Birthday Special is this Make Up For Ever Eyelashes Ref 25101.

If you want to add drama or need help with lengthening your eyelashes try this eyelashes strip, especially now that it’s on sale for $14.99.

You have one week before Halloween . Or just get it for fun or a touch of drama to your day look. You could cut some of the tips off to customize the strip however long you want the lashes to be. It’s certainly something I need since I wasn’t blessed with my children’s long lashes. Lucky for them, they got that part from their Caucasian father.

Make Up For Ever Eyelashes Strip On Sale

Over the past few months, my teacher over at makeup school made sure we curled lashes perfectly. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been trying and looking for that perfect technique to achieve such. The lashes are not just curled once – near the roots, they must also be curled mid-way and by the tip, which is quite tricky. But I swear, Artemis Woman Double Curl Heated Eyelash Curler just makes a makeup artist’s life so darn easy now.

Double Curl curls lashes at the base of the eyelid creating a more wide-eyed effect. Then it makes a second curl at the lash tip, creating a bigger, bolder and truly dramatic eyelash result.

I was able to try this and all I could say is WOW. It’s very very easy to use, you just have to turn it on, curl your lashes like you normally will, and the only difference is that there is a blue “second curler” that will curl near the tip of the lashes that will give us the wide-eyed effect. I swear, this is magazine-spread quality curled lashes. My lashes were curled to absolute perfection when I used this, and with it being a heated eyelash curler, it also helps for those who have trouble with their eyelashes staying curled all day ( those with poker straight lashes like me ).

The price is at $24.99 – not really cheap, but definitely definitely worth it. I’m looking at purchasing another unit to use for my clients, because this first unit is definitely MINE for personal use!

The Artemis Woman Double Curl Heated Eyelash Curler is available at Wal-Mart, Amazon and ArtemisWoman.com.

Beauty Gizmo Review: Artemis Woman Double Curl Heated Eyelash Curler

I’ve been immersed in alot of MAC things because my teacher in makeup school is a certified MAC Makeup Artist. I think I’ve been hanging out at their booth so much that I’ve been checking all the products that they have to offer.

A friend of mine suggested me to try the MAC Eyelash Curler. It’s not too expensive, priced at $12.50 ( USD ), and she claims that it’s a great buy because it curls as good as the cult favorites and a good advantage of it is that it doesn’t “pinch” the lashes, and is very comfortable to use.

I’ve been using the eyelash curler alot recently as it is a very important part of makeup application. It opens up the eyes, and it certainly brightens up the face. I’m seeking to try the MAC Eyelash Curler as a part of my makeup stash to use on my future clients. Yipee!

MAC Eyelash Curler

I’ve never been more obsessed with details until now – specially that I’m in makeup school. Even our instructor stressed that there is a technique for curling the eyelashes perfectly. One thing that I have been stressed about is the mascara – I don’t like it clumping, as I have seen photographic beauty shots that have such perfectly curled lashes with corresponding perfect mascara application.

I have received the Spinlash Spinning Mascara for a review , and I was impressed with the packaging – I had to cut the thick sheet of plastic to get to the product, and there was a mascara wand that rotates 360 degrees with two turns ( up , and down ) push buttons, and there was a separate mascara that you can use your “spinner” with. I opted not to use the mascara for now because my skin is horribly oily, and I could not afford to use any mascara than my Blinc Kiss Me Mascara ( for now ) that stays all day on me without smudging even by a bit.

The Spinlash Spinning Mascara is battery operated, and it rotates both ways as you like it. The instructions were, if you were to use another mascara, right after applying, use the Spinlash gadget to help your lashes de-clump and look all separated and beautifully lush. The first time I’ve tried spinning this gadget, it was in moderate speed – nothing too fast. As I applied mascara on my eyelashes, I took SpinLash for a “spin.” It was sure that it de-clumped my lashes but my poker-straight endangered-to-get-pulled down lashes were going down. I don’t know if I did not curl my eyelashes enough that it started to get “pulled” down as the Spinlash started declumping my lashes. But I sure did see the action in which it declumped my eyelashes, alright.

Overall, it’s an just-okay gadget but I think I should try to experiment with it more to make it work better for me. A number of beauty bloggers have expressed satisfaction over this tool, and maybe I just haven’t used it the right way.

Beauty Gizmo Review : Spinlash Spinning Mascara

Finally, there is one product that promises to address the issue of clumping mascara on our lovely lashes. It’s called SPINLASH, by Akasha, and works with the tagline, ” the first mascara that revolves around you.”

SPINLASH™ is the first mascara that revolves around you with a brush that gently rotates 360 degrees in both directions to apply mascara on both the upper and lower lashes. Patent pending SPINLASH™ comes in either black or brownish black mascara – or you can use SPINLASH™ with your own brand. The gentle motion of the rotating brush removes clumps with every turn while it separates, coats, lengthens, and volumizes your lashes. Get perfect lashes every time! Suitable for contact lens wearers and not tested on animals.

The SPINLASH set includes a wand that has a synthetic mascara brush ( without the mascara ) that rotates in two directions, plus a SPINLASH Mascara that you can use with it. You can also use your chosen mascara to work with this beauty gadget. It’s either you hook the SPINLASH mascara on the SPINLASH tool, or you just apply your mascara first before using SPINLASH to declump and make your lashes prettier.

SPINLASH iz available nationwide at Target, and retails for $14.95.

I’ve been testing it for a few days and I haven’t really gotten the hang of it . I will update everyone on how this goes.

Beauty Gizmo News : The New Spinlash Mascara

First, Double Curl curls lashes at the base of the eyelid creating a more wide-eyed effect. Then it makes a second curl at the lash tip, creating a bigger, bolder and truly dramatic eyelash result.

I’ve only used eyelash curlers with one-curl action, I didn’t know that it was possible to curl them twice, to finish off at the lash tip, to make the curls a bit bolder and more dramatic. Artemis Woman, after their Heel Smoother, comes back with a nifty beauty gadget – a heated eyelash curler, that curls twice!

This retails $24.99 and will be sold at www.artemiswoman.com, Amazon.com, Wal-Mart.com and will be at Jewel-Osco store this May.
