Eyelash alignment tool or cervical inspection tool (speculum) I think NAPA carries 'em.

Eyelash curler.

I didn't even know such a thing existed until I got married. My wife and daughter both use it.

Thanks for the great answers, Keep Them Coming...

My wife uses it at least once a day along with a bunch of other stuff.
Actually, a whole bunch of other stuff.

Frankie the Fink...NAPA has em...
This is so funny.. I ask my dear wife if she has any eye drops. Simple eye drops. She says no, why would I have eye drops? I say because you have everything that CVS and Revlon, MaxFactor ever sold in all our bathroom closets, thats why.

No kiddin, years ago she has me install over the sink and over the toilet cabinets to hold all this "stuff." She has trained my daughters well as they have all their "war paint" supplies out the butt as well. Unbelievable, but no eye drops, nope.

Me? all I need is a toothbrush,toothpaste, floss, hair brush, my hair dryer, soap, shampoo and a razor. Simple.
Women need an entire storage room for all their "stuff" It's comical.
Sorry for the rant,, I feel better now.

... some of us don't even need the hair dryer or a brush. Heck, a comb is even optional.

It is for sure an eyelash curler. My mother used it regularly when she was getting all dressed to go out with a john when I was a little boy. Back then I had no understanding that a child's mother could be a hooker.
