Good morning, ladies! I hope your weekend got off to a good start. I’m not sure what I’ve got going on today, which is good in that it probably means there’s nothing I absolutely HAVE to get done.
For this post I’ve done a quick video (click here for the video) showing how I curl my eyelashes. I apologize for not putting up any videos lately, but I’ll get back into the habit again.
Enjoy your weekend! Let me know what you’re up to.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Bookmarked! Truly helpful.
Hi Meream,
Happy to help. 🙂
Oh my goodness, you look gorgeous in this video! Your skin is glowing, eyes perfecly defined, hair in loose waves! Just… WOW!!!
Hi Claire,
LOL, I was having a rare good hair day… 🙂
Hope you’re having a nice Saturday!
okay…what are u wearing other than the guava l/g and papaya lippie? luv the glowy skin!
Hi Flora,
On my eyes I’m wearing the Urban Decay Get Baked palette along with Clinique’s High Impact Curling Mascara. On my cheeks — NARS The Multiple Orgasm.
Love your new hair, girlfriend! I need to get the Shu curler but my eyes are really tiny. I don’t know if the whole curler would fit into the curve of my eyes or not 🙁

Hi Dao,
I bet the mini version of the Shu Curler would work for you! It’s $17 at Sephora.
You remind me of Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde 🙂
Hi Janet,
I get the Reese comparison a lot. 🙂 I like her so I don’t mind!
omg. you know the other day i was looking at your daily beauty and saw one of your old videos and was thinking “hmm. karen hasn’t made a video in a while.” 🙂 when i first stumbled onto your site, i think i watched almost all of your videos 🙂 oh and thanks for the tip 🙂 i really do need to go pick up that shu uemura one :T
Hi Jane,
I hope you pick it up! It makes curling lashes so easy. 🙂
I love my Shu lash curler, but I’m totally in love with your hair!! 🙂 Your video was very helpful 😀
Hi Lesley,
Thanks! I’m glad to hear the vid was helpful.
Hope you’re having a nice weekend so far!
woah lol I was kinda in awe, you have such a nice voice idk how to describe… fun to listen to 🙂

Hi Nicole,
Thanks!
How’s you’re Saturday going?
My lashes are normally naturally curly just every once in a while they like to go Asian and become stick straight and the curler is busted out of hiding. My mom always remarks my eyelash curler looks like a weapon. I have a Revlon one at the moment as I don’t use my curler that often to justify the Shu Uemura one.
Good tips!
Hi Kate & Zena,
I’ve tried the Revlon one in the past and it’s pretty good…
you’re so cute!
Hi Leslie,
🙂 Thank you.
Karen, we do really want to know about your glowy skin! What’s the secret?
Hi Arianne,
Nars the Multiple Orgasm! Oh, and some Chanel Bronzer…
I like the shine on your cheeks. What did you use to highlight them?
Hi Elissa,
It’s Nars the Multiple Orgasm, my new favorite cream blush.
I use the Shu-U curlers too!
They really are the best.. and i heard that they come in a mini form?? I have to find out!
A fellow blogger suggests using a hairdryer to heat the wand slightly before curling to mae the curl last longer..works so well!!
I got the elf ones to review for my blog and they were really dreadful! Torture devices more than curlers.
Looking great Karen!
Tali´s last blog post..LUSH haul & Sugar Scrub review
Hi Tali,
I’ve done that in the past but I try to avoid using heat on because it can damage hair… plus I’m clumsy so I’m bound to burn myself!
It does make it easier to curl, though…
thanks for the video (: i miss them ! and thanks for the great tips (;
Hi Camellia,
Sure! I’ll try to do them more often. 🙂
@ Jane! I am watching legally blonde right this moment!!!
Hi Heather,
LOL, I love that movie, too!
you look GORGEOUS in this!
i love your new hair! it’s so..summery and upbeat! your makeup here is also great. 😀

Hi Maggie,
Thank you! 🙂 Happy Monday!
Hey, how often do you replace your eyelash curler? I think it tells you to replace it every 3 months, but do you think that’s necessary? 😀
Mansie´s last blog post..Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow Look
Hi Mansie,
I don’t replace it — I’ve read that you’re supposed to change the pads every so often but I rarely even do that.
I just had to comment on this – your skin looks so wonderful here! It’s clear and even and smooth and perfectly glowing – what skincare and makeup were you using here? You look so naturally flawless!
Hi Okami,
Aww, thanks!
For skin care I’ve been using Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser, Dermalogica Active Moist Moisturizer and Clinique Mild Exfoliating Toner.
On my face I’m wearing Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation and MAC Select Sheer Powder. 🙂
how cute are you? fab hair!!
kia´s last blog post..Tips to look sexy over 40!
Hi Kia,
Thank you. 🙂 Hope you have a great week!
Karen, you look amazing!
Thanks for the tips. =) Sadly, my eyes are too flat/small for the Shu to fit comfortably (I pinch myself and don’t even get halfway up my lashes… Shiseido, Tarte and many others are like this too). If any other ladies are having the same trouble, I finally, finally, finally found a curler that works for me! It’s Koji’s “wide” curler (it has a 22mm diameter instead of the regular 18mm one). I got it at Marukai Living for $7, but you should be able to find it online or at other Japanese markets. Hope that helps someone!
Catherine´s last blog post..Butterfly Breeze – bracelet
Hi Catherine,
Thanks for the recommendation. ‘Tis very helpful. 🙂
My eyes are on the “flatter” side too. The Shu didn’t work for me (I tried for a long time), but the Shisheido is my HG.
Your makeup looks exquisite in the video!
Hi Rachel,
Thanks! 🙂 I was having a good hair and makeup day.
This I’ll definitely try. I have that lash curler too, but I’m ashamed to say I haven’t used it yet. Something’s wrong with me. LOL
Hi Lehea,
It’s a fab lash curler… trust me, you’ll notice a difference. 🙂
Thanks for this! I have been thinking about getting this curler and you have convinced me! I’m going to order it right now!
The Shu Uemura eyelash curler is “friggin’ fantastic”.
Lurve that. 😀
