Having hooded eyelids and stick-straight lashes make it a necessity for me to curl them each time I do my makeup. But I've always used the cheaper eyelash curlers found at the mall. I know nothing compares to Shu Uemura's iconic eyelash curler but I just don't see the point of spending that much cash on this particular item. That is until I found an online seller who retails this item for only PhP 750 (mall price: PhP 1000+). And it was very timely that my other eyelash curler just won't curl my lashes anymore even if I changed the pads. =(
