Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler =

YAY I got myself a new eyelash curler. Thank you to everyone that commented on my post recently asking recommendations for a new lash curler. Most people suggested the award winning Shu Uemura curler and because I have read so many rave reviews about it I , this is the one I chose. Shu Uemura is not available in NZ so I had to buy it online. It cost me around NZ$35 which is a bit more expensive than your general eye lash curler....

So what makes this curler different to the others on the market? Shu Uemura promises the following: "Perfectly measured and finely balanced, the new shu uemura Eyelash Curler is designed to ensure superior functionality and performance. The upgraded silicone pad in a new "mushroom" shape provides a protective, stay-put edge for improved safety and optimum curl. The new, patented hinge is specifically engineered to apply the perfect amount of pressure on eyelashes. The calculated shape, size of frame length and ergonomic handles ensure stability and control, while the curved angle suits all eye shapes."

How it measured up? 
Well, I am very happy with the results of this curler!

It provides a beautiful natural curl, every time, with no pinching whatsoever. The curl also lasts very long, it lasts all day for me and seems to really open up my eyes.  I am sold and will join the large crowd, this is my new HG curler! :)
