It is also available at Neiman Marcus (at least, I saw it at the Honolulu
store on Black Friday).

I, too, got the notice about this in the mail and my thought was, "If
ever I needed a cosmetic representation of conspicuous consumption,
this is it."
It isn't even such a special eyelash curler.

That's just it. It's so inconspicuous that I don't see the point. The
only person who'll ever see it is me and I don't use one often enough
that it's worthwhile. I won't even see it well when I'm using it since
I'm wearing neither my glasses nor contacts when I curl my lashes!
I'm in no position to talk about the extravagance of a gold lash curler,
however, since I spent far too much money on an Irving Rice makeup
mirror a couple of weeks ago. While I'm thrilled with the quality and
will get years of use out of it (or even a lifetime, assuming neither
the dogs nor I break it first!), I somehow feel strange about paying top
dollar to have every tiny flaw on my face enlarged into a big, ugly
monster. Even the smallest pore looks frightening! OTOH, if my makeup
application looks passable at 7X, it looks professional and perfect
unmagnified so I don't regret it.
