Does anyone know whether the quality, price or design of an eyelash curler make a difference to the effect it has on your lashes? I'm just curious as I am thinking of possibly purchasing one...

Blotting papers are a very cool invention - they make a huge diff to how my skin looks. I love that I don't need to add anything but am actually taking away the excess.

i always wonder if all eye lash curlers are the same? Or does different brands give different effects?

Clear and specific instruction! Loved that. I bought a set of solid brushes on crazysales and I now could make good use of them. They are so great and I don't want to waste them.

I'm a makeup brush addict. Even though I'm not particularly good at applying makeup and I rarely do it, I always find myself buying brushes. I have a collection of over 30 brushes that rarely get used but somehow I can't bring myself to regret buying them :p

For some reason I can't see part of this post, which I'm guessing are pictures.

I usually prefer smaller makeup brushes, but the Rae Morris Radiance Brush looks intriguing.

I'm with you, Petal. I really like the look of this brush! The $110 price tag doesn't like me, but I like the brush!

Rae Morris brush looks great but I need a normal foundation brush and a beauty blender for my collection first. Also need to upgrade my eyelash curler.

I have most of these brushes from one brand or another. Still a big fan of the kabuki brush as I can apply bronzer, blusher and even highlighter with it.

I often have trouble curling my lashes. It's more of a straight angle than a natural soft round curl.

I really like the buffing brush as it's nice and big and spreads the foundation quicker.

I needed these tutorials - I've never managed any of these tools (I'm good with my fingers though!).
