Budgenista slash makeup lover.



Your typical girl who loves the girly things: makeup, and more makeup! I am constantly in search of affordable makeup- that gets the job done and works its magic. With all the weird "price hikes" the world is experiencing today- I still won't give up on makeup! :P

Kikay On A Budget

Feeling good about yourself doesn't mean burning a hole in your pocket.

My first-ever eyelash curler.

Thursday, May 22, 2008

Yep! You got that righty!


I never really paid attention to my lashes before ( Or any eye makeup, for that matter, sans the eyeliner ), hence, the eye-poking issues I have whenever I (attempt) to put masacara on, or the welling up of tears, when I try to line my upper lashline. Gawd, I just suck at eye makeup. Anyhoo, from my love at browsing through different makeup sites, I just can't help but admire how curly lashes really open up the eyes. Ah, so beautiful. So. One day, while browsing through shelves of beauty prods at Watson's, (With an annoying saleslady in tow, I just wanted to snap at her, "WTF, I have money to burn!" which, we all, know, is not the truth.), I found this:


Erm...LOL. It's not sold like that, but I can assure you, it has a nice packaging ( In some sort of tough plastic packaging) to ensure that it's not in anyway damaged or something like that. Great. I really suck in giving descriptions. Anyhoo, it's battery-operated (2 AAA's), and costs only 129 php. So. I was doing the math:

Beeeeeyyoooottifuull!!! So I instantly grabbed it and headed to the nearest counter. And here's me trying it out:

Just the mascara. Aack. My lashes are stick- straight.


After curling.

OK, so the pics proved that I'm an idiot for curling my lashes for the first time. Hihi. At first, I was wary of having my lashes and my lids burned, but I found it harmless! It does heat up, but not the clothes- iron ouchy kind of heat. It's perfectly safe, even if it presses too close to your lids.

[ Insert picture of myself, nursing lid burns ]

Ahhh just kiddin'. Anyhoo, now all I need is a Fasio hyperstay mascara ( Which I've been itching to buy, grrr) to help my curl stay put. :D

I use a good eyelash curler i bought at Sephora in Milan, where's a Shu Uemura corner, but is a traditional no model, battery -less. Yeah is such a good investment for your look, the result is great on your lashes!

About mascara my fav is Chanel Inimitable in "brun noir", cause it works out for my lashes naturally long. The finishing is natural and light, i forgot the sticky result of others mascara. When i need a drama queen look for my lashes i use Dior show mascara in black, or Helena Rubinstein Lash Queen mascara, in wild black.
