It's "meh".
This is a great concept, it just doesn't deliver like you'd hope. It's not completely useless though. The problem is that the removable tips just don't get hot enough. If it was one solid piece rather than removable silicone tips I think the heat would transfer a lot better. Also, the entire thing is plastic versus metal heating elements on standard heated curlers. The plastic doesn't transmit heat well and doesn't retain it AT ALL. You spend so much time on one eye that it shuts off and gets cold before you can start on the other so you have to start all over and let it heat up again and even that takes way longer than with standard curlers. It's a good thing it's rechargeable too because you might get 3 uses before it has to be charged again, or at least it's that way for me because it has to go through multiple heat ups with each use so maybe someone else would get more uses. If this thing had the heat retention and distribution of a metal heating coil it would be nearly perfect. Adding a battery and temp display would make it 100%. All that said, I have straight, long lashes so I need a tool that is really going to curl. If you already have mildly curled lashes, or at least ones that don't point down (like mine) you might have better luck. It would probably work better on shorter lashes too. I really, really like the design of this curler, I just wish it worked better for me.
