Revlon Extra Curl Lash Curler

Revlon's lash curlers have long been a favorite of mine. My second favorite in fact, Shu Uemura being first and foremost. Well recently the tide has changed, I'm caught somewhere in the middle. Since having to replace a lash curler...once again! Why do people steal? Urg... I digress
Revlon has updated their lash curlers. The Revlon Extra Curl Lash Curler is really on par with Shu Uemura now... in my opinion. I am absolutely in love with this lash curler! It doesn't pinch your lid at all yet it gets a firm hold of your lashes and curls them seamlessly. The pinching is a problem I find with less expensive curlers ie: ELF or the like. I honestly don't find much of a difference between Revlon & Shu Uemura which is fantastic considering Revlon's is less than half the price.
Shu Uemura is $20 and Revlon is $7.99. I love when I can share a true bargain all the better when the quality exceeds expectations!

Drugstore Mini-Haul

Ok. This drugstore excursion started out as a means for me to get a Primer. I have run out of my Primer (by Smashbox) Eeeek! Can't fathom doing my make up without a Primer. So... I saw where a drugstore chain in NYC 'Duane Reade' was having a sale on all lip products by Prestige. My intention was to get a bunch of lipsticks and a Primer. Didn't feel like traveling to get my Smashbox so I was going to give either the Loreal or Revlon a shot. Revlon won that little war! Revlon's Beyond Natural Primer... can't wait to try it out. But, my lipsticks... seems everyone else took advantage of the Prestige sale as well. Only found one I liked :(  A nice  kind of deep mauve shade called Rave. Also picked up a eye shadow duo by Prestige with a gorgeous  deep navy blue & creamy beige, both with a shimmer. Another but.. There was also a sale on Covergirl eye shadows! $2 off of the quads. I Found a nice one with rich vibrant colors called Tropical Fusion. Then I got the Wet n Wild Creme Eyeliner so many bloggers I've been noticing rave about so. Gonna finally give it a shot. And a Jordana retractable eyeliner... and old favorite! Then... I stopped at Walgreen's to get something else and noticed they had Covergirl eye shadows on sale as well... but 1 get 1 free! Well... you know I did! One in shimmering Onyx and the other Tapestry Taupe. Will load pictures this weekend and show what these colors look like on!


* I took a second picture of the Prestige Duo & Lipsticks, I didn't think it was clear enough in the 1st picture. And.. the Covergirl Quad's colors are richer than the picture shows... I tried my best ;)
