Recession Friendly Beauty: Skip the Lash Curler

    This tip comes to you from my fashionista sister-in-law, Abz. Not one to like the pinching of a lash curler, Abz wanted to find a alternate way to curl her lashes.




    If you haven't tried a lash curler before, you are seriously missing out. Curling your lashes makes your eyes seriously pop and is possibly one of the most dramatic things you can do to make your eyes really stand out (a good brow wax being numero uno). But if the idea of getting a lash curler next to your eye and squeezing gives you the willies, then check out Abz' idea.

    Grab a clean teaspoon. Place the tea spoon over your eye, with the belly of the spoon following the curve of your eye. Use your thumb to gently press your lashes upwards, against the spoon. Viola! Curved lashes with no scary eye curler. Plus you won't need to replace the pads on your eyelash curler and this will last forever. It takes a bit of practice, so don't give up if at first you don't succeed. Abz swears she gets more curl from a spoon than she does from a lash curler.

    Tried it? Let me (and Abz) know what you think!
