155, no you're not. Their prices vary, as people have mentioned before. They're a useless thing to have. Funny story, when I was about 11 I used to picture a mini curling iron whenever anyone mentioned eyelash curlers. >

Haha! That's pretty great. Just imagine if you accidentally burned yourself with something like that...Ahhh!

I know! I always wondered why they made them. When I saw real eyelash curlers, I had no clue what they were. My mother told me and showed me. I attempted to use them and like put a weird dent in my eyelashes. It went away after a couple hours, so I'm pretty sure there's no point to eyelash curlers.

Kawaii: If you warm it up first (just a little, like breathing on it a few times), the curl will hold longer. You also have to gently curl it in a few places down your lashes to avoid the "crease" look. I start toward the root, pump it gently a few times instead of holding it tight, and do it again closer to the tip. Using mascara helps too; if the lashes dry in that position, they'll stay curled for longer. I know, I know, it's kind of a whole thing. >.<

That would take way too much time out of my morning, but I am always interested in learning new things. I can't wear much makeup anyway, anything on anywhere but my eyes causes a huge acne breakout, so I've given up on makeup altogether. I have super sensitive skin.

Heh, fair enough. Just a little FYI saying they can work, if you use 'em a certain way. :] I like eye makeup, so if I wear anything, it tends to be that. It doesn't take that long once you get the motions down, but eyelash curlers certainly aren't for everyone. I enjoy my little make-up and grooming rituals; they're kinda meditative for me. But I do have more free time on my hands than most, so I'm guessing my routines will change drastically when my schedule picks up.

I still can't find any justifiable reason to spend $32 on them. Even if I did have a whole bunch of free time on my hands before going to work. Like I said, eye makeup is all I can wear, and when I do decide I want to do it, I don't half-ass it. I usually save that for when I go someplace other than work to cut back on being hit on my ignorant drunk guys. I seem to attract them quite often &gt;

I agree with you there. $32 is ridiculous.

Eh. $32 doesn't seem outrageous to me, but that might be because I'm used to things like cosmetics being expensive in Australia. That, and a few of my friends work in beauty, and that's just how much it costs to buy professional-level product. I do think it's funny that people are saying that $32 is crazy because you can get them for $2 and they don't work anyway. Maybe they don't work for you because you buy ones that are $2?

My sister owns a pair of $30 tweezers she bought herself.

Tweezers I could actually excuse, since they need to be sharpened eventually. If you use them a lot, you could save money in the long run by buying a higher quality metal once, instead of replacing or sharpening the cheapo kind multiple times.
