Are you one of those lucky people who are blessed with long, lush eyelashes that never need mascara or even curling? Well, I hate you.

Since I had been in the market for a new phone, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase an unlocked version from eBay. Being a gadget/techie geek, I had done some pretty extensive research before making the decision to purchase the phone.
