Shu Uemera Eyelash curlers & OOTD

Morning guys, i wanted to do a little post about my thoughts on my new Shu Uemera Eyelash curlers which i brought the other day. Now at just under £20 i was expecting great things. After all what could be so different about these?



I have to say that i am instantly impressed with these. I have tried so many eyelash curlers as i use them everyday to help my straight short lashes.
This is the first time that i have been able to get right to the base of the lashes to curl without pinching my skin. It doesn't help that i have heavy lids but i was getting sick of the pinch that my old curlers was causing.


My bare lashes. You can hardly see them :(


I curled my lashes which felt so much more comfortable than usual and the curl seemed perfect. No crimped edges and perfectly lifted.
I applied 2 coats of prestige my longest lashes.


I love the end result. I am so pleased i bit the bullet and purchased these curlers. After all what's £20 when you are using something everyday. Great value really.

Oh and a little OOTD. Please excuse my messy background. I purchased these over the knee boots from next in the sale. At 5ft 2 i think I'm pushing it a bit as i know they look better on taller girls but i love them anyway. I was just going shopping so wanted to be casual and comfy. 


What are your thoughts on the shu eyelash curlers? Do you think over the knee boots are Hot or Not?
Have a great day xx

  1. Hi,

    Have been lusting after these eyelash curlers for a few months now but have been waiting until someone posted a review as I wanted to know for sure that my money would not be wasted. Your review has convinced me and I will be taking the plunge. What camera do you use for your close up pics, my camera is rubbish for blog pics and I really need to invest in a new one.

  2. Oh I do love Shu curlers, I am on my 3rd set now, but each set have lasted me YEARS!.
    Last Christmas I got Limited Edition Gold ones that came with false lashes too, and I love them.
    Generally speaking, I have tried maybe 10 different eyelash curlers before, and NONE come even close to Shu's ones..

  6. your lashes look gorgeous here- I havent thought about Prestige mascara before, looks really natural. I LOVE my shu's had my first pair for 4 years, I hate the pinch of all cheaper ones. Also love the boots, I actually tried the exact same ones on, but they were too tight-they look lovely on you

  7. I LOVE Shu Uemura's curler. For the function and end result, it really a must. I just hate that they dont sell extra pads so I dont have to buy another curler when the extra rubber pad has worn off.

  11. I bought a Shu curler and I was disappointed! I have a different brand that I bought at Sally Beauty and that one rocks my socks off. I only got the Shu because I heard great things about it. Needless to say, I gave it away and continued using my old one! I need to get some new pads for it, but I will be for sure doing it!

    As for the boots, I love them, I think you look stunning as always! I've missed your face so much, and I'm SOOOO glad I'm back! I have a ton of reading to do today to catch up with all your previous posts! Can't wait!

  12. wow I've gotta get myself some of these eyelash curlers! my current ones are awful, they make my lashes point upwards in a straight line, rather than a nice natural curl, and they also sometimes pinch my lids (i have heavy lids too). So these are now on my never ending wish list! I think the boots are defo a HOT too

  13. your lashes look great - very natural & fluttery! I should really dig out my eyelash curlers & not be so scared of using them :) x

    The boots really suit you hun, you'd never know you were 5ft2" in the photo :) I got some beige 'Dollie' boots in the Topshop sale last week & I have to wear them slouched (as knee-high boots) after my hubby said I looked like 'puss in boots' with them pulled over the knee! ;) They're a great dupe for Vivienne Westwood pirate boots and I love them :)

  14. Wow! i guess those are worth the money! I finally went at Christmas to get them and the girl at Sephora told me they don't sell them anymore! :( I've been delaying ordering online due to the price. Glad to hear that you think they are worth the price!
