Review (5/5): One of my favorite eyelash curlers
I have tried many eyelash curlers and while most are sufficient and get the job done I can honestly say this is my favorite eyelash curler along with the whiplash curler (by crave naturals also available on amazon).
I read once on in a beauty magazine that eyelash curlers tend to wear out after about a year and a half. No way!! A good eyelash curler with proper care (not getting dropped or crushed in a makeup bag) should last a lifetime, the pads are another story...but not with this one!.
I have tried the famous Shu Uemura and while that did a very nice job of getting a natural curl I could tell statement about wearing out after a year and a half as the metal connection did not seem very strong. This curler however is rock solid in it's build! The metal is thick and reinforced as is the connection. Another thing I preferred over the Shu Uemura is that this is strongly spring loaded where as Shu Uemura isn't.
The finger holds are very comfortable and smooth plus, also importantly, the curler looks classy! The pad on this curler, as said by the company doesn't need to be replaced. This is impressive as you can tell by looking at it and feeling it the pad is thick and does not have a lot of give to it but is still gentle enough not to harm your lashes.
As for curling. I get the curler as close to the roots as possible by about half opening my eye and the no pinch design allows you to do this easily. Then I hold for about 7 seconds occasionally pumping the curler. I then raise my eyebrows and move the curler a little farther down my lashes and pinch for a second for two while bend the curler backwards and raising the handle up a bit. The main issue with certain eyelash curlers is the over curled and bent lashes effect which also isn't good for your lashes. This curler, when not over pressed, gives a natural curler that is noticeable on it's own without even using mascara.
And a shout out to the wonderful company Bella and Bear with their wonderful customer service and wonderful products that they wholeheartedly back up! Can't go wrong here.
