Even Eyelash Curlers Have an Expiration Date
I’ve been using shu uemura eyelash curlers for many years but this is something that I just discovered recently: shu uemura does not sell silicone refills and the eyelash curler has to be completely replaced after six months.
I learned this when I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago and my curler’s black silicone rubber pad fell off before my trip. I knew I had a refill at home since this was my second shu eyelash curler but I forgot to pack it with my luggage. So when I arrived at my travel destination, I made calls to all the Nordstrom stores in the area looking for refills and got the same response: “We don’t sell any refills”.
I was on my fourth call when a helfpul SA informed me that shu uemura does not sell refills at all. When I asked why, she told me an eyelash curler comes with a refill. Each silicone pad should last three months with daily use. And since the curler’s metal tends to bend with consistent use, the whole eyelash curler should be replaced after six months.
