Today, I realized that the "eyelash curling brush" that my best friend found in my old bathroom drawer was actually a stick used for cleaning food out of my sister's braces. I used that thing for years. FML

The plaque and food particles probably gave your eyelashes extra body! Nice repurposing, OP!

Brace yourselves, eye see a lot of puns coming...

Why would you use anything on your eyes you just found laying around? That's so unhygienic! Never ever share eye make up or tools!! Of course I have chronic eye issues. The wind blows the wrong way and my tear ducts get infected. I'm preachy about not sharing eye makeup.

I just eally don't see how essentially a special brush-toothpick can be confused with an eyelash curler!

Oh shoot I managed to make a new mistake when editing to correct another... Yay! Touchscreen keyboards just ain't for me!

Aren't eyelash curling brushes usually thicker? I don't think your sister enjoys eyelashes stuck in her braces either.

I've got braces and I'm just point to say that rreeaallyy sucks! I'm sorry but I mean.... those are kind of noticeably different though. and even if they were similar, you should have changed them out after a year.

I'm not sure how you could confuse those two things...isn't one essentially a brush on a stick and the other a two-part clamp?

I think the two-part clamp is called just an "eyelash curler" but the "brush" part is what you'd find in a mascara tube to apply it to your lashes. (:

Oooh...well that makes more sense but I'd probably refer to it as a mascara brush/applicator in that case.

I can gaurantee you that all traces of food particles will have dissapeared after years of use...you'll be ok :)

That is one way to make sure your eyelashes shine.

and did you use her tooth brush to apply mascara?
