Hot In The Hive: USB-Powered Eyelash Curler!

I know what you're thinking -- vibrating mascara, at-home airbrushing kits, and now a USB heated eyelash curler -- what will they think of next?! Though I'm still convinced that mascara that moves on its own is just a recipe for disaster, I have to admit I'm pretty intrigued by this USB beauty tool, especially as a girl who is rarely without her laptop and her makeup bag. I'm already a big fan of my Sephora heated eyelash curler... but the battery's always drained and it doesn't have the same satisfying squeeze-and-curl action that makes for really luxe lashes. With this device, all you do is plug it in, power it on, and revive lashes pronto! So if you're going to have an emergency stash of back-up makeup at your desk for touch-ups and work (or in preparation for post-work happy hour), this newfangled new beauty-fiend gadget may not be so far-fetched when it comes to practicality!
Price: $33.38
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Thanko USB-Powered Eyelash Curler to the Hive.

You might think you've got your beauty routine under control... or even if your cosmetics collection is a huge mess, you insist you've got a daily system down that works for you (in other words, there's a method to your makeup madness). However, what if I told you that there were simple, easy-to-use tools that could cut your grooming time in half, make the makeup you already have look twice as good, or at least make application a whole lot easier? Even subtle changes, like trading your drugstore tweezers for a better pair that will put your old pair to shame or investing in a train case to keep all your beauty loot neatly organized, can make a big difference in the efficiency of your beauty regime and motivate you to clear out all your prehistoric makeup tools and swap 'em for a compact set of modern must-haves. You might be able to live just fine without the latest beauty technology, but you don't know what you're missing until you test it out! Forget crazy vibrating mascaras and at-home airbrushing systems -- take a look at the slideshow for the 8 most practical, user-friendly beauty tools I swear by!
