Shu Uemura eyelash curler
The famed Shu Uemura eyelash curler is all that its cracked up to be. A few seconds of "pumping" your lashes with this magical curler is all you need. The lashes are curled even with those with super straight lashes like me. I highly recommend the investment in this curler. The way it curls does not cause an unnatural bend in the lashes either so it does not look forced up.
You can purchase it at the Shu Uemura store online at http://www.shuuemura-usa.com
This is a special lash curler b/c of its ergonomic design and it follows the natural curve of your eyes. I use this lash curler and then two coats of the too faced mascara. My short lashes look longer, fuller, and it stays put all day. To get a more dramatic effect, try curling your lashes then putting on a lash primer like the smashbox lash primer followed by a volumizing mascara. This will surely give you gorgeous lashes.

YSL Touche Eclat
I was travelling through the airport the other day and stopped by the Duty Free store. I found YSL's Touche Eclat in a pack of two for $53. I purchased it and gave one to my mother and kept one for myself. I love it. I don't have dark circles under my eyes but sometimes I don't get enough sleep and need a little boost but a concealer is too rich or not needed. Enter YSL Touche Eclat, it works like a highlighter with a creamy texture. It brightened up the area almost immediately.
Now I believe all the hype behind this product. Its a cult product, its expensive so thats why I haven't bought it in the past but I couldn't resist a good Duty Free buy. Hehehe. Changi airport has really good duty free shopping if you know what I mean ;-)
There is also a big duty free store in the heart of the city that I may stop in if I don't find any other good beauty buys.
So far, I've purchased a pack of collagen sheet masks for my bridal make up kit (perfect for prepping the skin on the day of the wedding because it causes the skin to "glow" from within), several false eyelashes (I love false eyelashes, especially for special occasions). My beauty purchases have a simple rule when it comes to travelling, only purchase products that are cheaper or hard-to-find in the US.
