The very BEST eyelash curler I found is at: http://www.hotlashes.com/
It's heated, but since I have stubborn straight lashes & this gets them curled & they stay curled (after I set them with mascara). It works on 3,D, atteries or you can buy an AC adapter. Personally, I think the unit heats up quicker & hotter with the AC adapter. I learned from personal experience that you should NOT use your own adapter even if it fits & the unit works. Mine worked a while then one day started smoking from the heated part! Since this device is a must have in my beauty book (I LOVE IT) I broke down & invested in another unit with that came with the AC adapter ($50, but worth it & you did indicate that you "don't even care how much. . ."). If you decide to get it, let me know how you like it. Melissa Quote:

I use retin-a generic as well. I wish I could get Triluma but my insurer says it's cosmetic (right.. I want to have dark spots from different things all over my face. --rosacea break outs, allergic acneic breakouts. sun damage). anyway.. I have to talk to my doc on about the retin A thing. Stevie |

I still am, and always will be a faithful Bare Minerals user. I also love the Rare Minerals, which I use at night over Differin gel. I also love their Buxom plumping lip glosses. They plump effectively, come in pretty colors and aren't gooey or sticky. Smashbox lip glosses are also outstanding, and they make gorgeous eye shadows that apply and wear beautifully. Their pigments are just plain good.
As far as skincare, I love Purity Made Simple cleanser by Philosophy. It cleans off every bit of makeup including mascara, never dries my skin, smells good and is just all around perfect. I also use their undereye cream. I also swear by prescription Differin. I use it nightly and never EVER break out. As a side benefit, it eliminates/prevents wrinkles. You do have to have it prescribed for acne though, because while it is prescribed for cosmetic purposes as well, your insurance usually won't cover it for that reason alone. I'm 45 and thanks to good genes and Differin, no one believes I'm not in my thirties. Oh, and my new favorite perfume is Ralph Lauren Notorious. One thing I've ex-ed off my list permanently though are Estee Lauder lipsticks. They stink and I mean literally. I used to use them and they never had that nasty sour/sweet smell until about 5 years ago. The first couple of times I thought I got a defective product, but I now realize they are INTENTIONALLY putting whatever that stench is in their lipsticks. P.U.
