We love new products, trends and tips but ever wondered about wearing them in real life? Each week we’ll take on a test drive, from the newest nail colour, to playing with perfume or seeing how long that hairstyle actually takes and share what we find (sweet, not-so-sweet and everything in between).
The inspiration: A unique heated eyelash curler instantly caught my attention and I had to give it a whirl.
The tester: Mia Shulman
The product: Sephora Collection Professional Heated Lash Curler, $21. Available at www.sephora.com.
The result: The device was simple to use. It took a minute to heat up and after applying mascara, I dragged it along my lashes, from the base to the ends. I found it much easier to use than a regular curler, which sometimes leaves more of a crease than a curl (and even pinches if you get too close). My only disappointment was that the heated end has a protective piece that doesn't allow you to brush and separate the lashes. I suggest using the heated curler to create rounded lashes, and then using a brush when and where needed.
Thought that was sweet? You'll enjoy:
