Review (3/5): Curls Lashes, No Pinching
I am a makeup junkie, so naturally I have used many eye lash curlers in my time. I am rating this one by Bella and Bear 3 stars, simply because in my use it didn't perform better, or worse than my current drug store bought eye lash curler. So let me break down my review.
The packaging of this is gorgeous. Very feminine and girly. I fell for it! The curler inside came with 1 pad that was attached to it. The claim for that being unlike most curlers, this one works so well that you don't need replacements. Obviously I cannot give my claim to that one as I have only had this curler for a couple of weeks. So far the pad has held up wonderfully as you would hope it would. The pad is black in color, and the handles of the curler are a dark pink. Feels durable, and not flimsy.
Using this is pretty basic. If you know how to curl your lashes, then you know what to do. I tested this curler against my current drug store curler. On my left eye I did this one by Bella and Bear, on the right, my old curler. I didn't experience any pinching, or discomfort while using this one. My end results after putting on 1 coat of mascara were pretty much identical. I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference. The curl also stayed for the same amount of time as my drug store curler.
The final thing that made me give this 3 stars is the price. My drug store curler cost me about $10. If the price was a bit more competitive with other curlers that provide the same results, then I would definitely up this rating to 4 stars.
