Awesome Groupons

Lately I've been loving Groupon.

For those who don't know, Groupon is a super cool discount/savings sight where you can get restaurant deals, furniture deals, vacation packages, massage/spa packages, jewelry, food, you name it - for huge discounts. I've seen even surgery (LASIK and liposuction) packages on there. At first, I thought it was just a scam. But lately, I've seen things really pop up, and it seems to be pretty legit.

I just purchased my first deal on Groupon. I just bought a Swarovski necklace for $8 - normally priced at $75. That's a 89% in savings!

Wow.

(I got the red one)

All right, here's the shameless plug: if you're interested, please sign up using my code: http://www.groupon.com/l/uu45036177. I know, I know - but for ANYONE who joins with your code (after you get an account) and make a purchase, you will get a $10 credit as well. Yes, I know. But I think life should be lived a little, right?

I hope to be getting my Swarovski necklace soon!

OOTD

So I know I haven't done an OOTD in a long time. Here's one for old times' sake and just in case. I usually don't really dress up for school or anything unless if we see patients (casual formal-ish) but here's an outfit.

Cardigan: from my friend in college, brand is Lovely Kate, no price

Necklace: present from mom

Review: ELF Mechanical Eyelash Curler

I first stumbled upon this jewel of a tool (lolz that rhymes!) about 2 years ago at Target. Back then, I had just truly first started trying out makeup seriously and was actually hilarified that people actually curled their eyelashes before applying mascara. Why would anyone do that? What's going on?

So I bought one for only $1 (the cheapest one I could find) from the local Target.

Results? Lo and behold, it actually quite worked. Before using this, putting on mascara was a nuisance because I felt that the mascara would just block my vision (I have short, stick-straight, thin eyelashes, yeah East Asian origin). However, after using this, I felt that my eyelashes would actually be out of the way, so long as my waterproof mascara could maintain a hold of it.

And yup it did.

To use it, you basically just put it up to your eyelashes and curl. Simple as that. It takes about 15 seconds to work. Then, you apply mascara.

I know, it looks like a weapon of sorts, but it's really not. It's just a simple tool.

My first eyelash curler lasted me about 1 yr. There's a pad that's in place to cushion your lashes; it falls apart after awhile, but there's a replacement pad in the box in case. However, after the two pads are gone, you're done with it.

However, my eyelash curler actually fell apart, due to the handles becoming chipped and natural wear and tear. Oh well. One year for $1? That's definitely a bargain. Some of the other eyelash curlers can cost up to $20 or more, and you would have to use them for 20 years to get the same deal.

I think I'll stick with this. It's good.

Would I repurchase the product? Well, I already have. My second one is currently in use.

Have a great day everyone!
