…and possibly the best dollar I’ve spent (with the exception of the $1 I put in Tim’s g-string when we met…LOL JUST KIDDING!!).

I am not really into a lot of beauty products. My skin is very sensitive, and I don’t like the feel of makeup, so my daily routine for the past few months has become: wash face, moisturize, mascara, and Burt’s Bees Peppermint Lip Balm. Sometimes, if I’m rushed, I skip the mascara.

Here’s what it looks like when I skip the mascara:

Ho-hum.

Well, my old eyelash curler (a Maybelline) lost it’s grippy, and I have been searching high and low for a good curler. I don’t like when the rubber grip is too rounded, because then it kind of slips around the lashes. Anyway, I had despaired of finding one for under 10 dollars, when this caught my eye at Target:

ELF Essential Mechanical Eyelash Curler

IT COST ME $1. No, it wasn’t on clearance. It regularly costs $1. It has the perfect amount of tension, and curves perfectly to my eye shape. Every lash curled!

Remember the mascara I raved about a few months back?? Bring these two wonderful items together, and you get this:

I feel like I did the time Adrian put false eylashes on the corners of my eyes, and I just wanted to wink at people.

Anyone else score a great beauty product on the cheap?
