never thought you needed until you found out it existed: heated eyelash curlers.

i love, love, love mascara. eyelashes are so so sexy and much like your eyebrows they shouldn't be ignored. somehow i ran across this heated eyelash curler last night and my jaws dropped. where have i been? i didn't know it existed. reviews were mixed but most swear by heat for the perfectly curled eyelash. and it is the holidays. and we are in a recession. may i suggest this odd, unexpected, good for the pockets gift for the chicks in your clique.
