when I first bought this, I thought it would be so great as a replacement to my shu uemura and MAC eyelash curlers. I really like that it looks pretty much the same as the shu uemura curler but it does not work as well as either of my previous curlers. in order to get just a little bit of curl in my lashes, I have to go over each set twice. what I hate about it is that you have to press down pretty hard, too, which puts strain on my forearm. also, I noticed when I took it out of the box, when I opened & closed it, it made a squeaking sound, so I may have just gotten a faulty one. I don't know. either way, it's still an okay curler for only about [$].

Stick with the old style rubber pad. This new silicone pad simply does not work. Lashes don't curl, and you could strain your wrist trying use that tough pad!

I definitely got what I paid for! Very poor quality. Broke the first time I tried to use it. Obviously did not curl.

Alot of eyelash curlers don't line up right on your eyelid and then they bend your eyelashes- the Maybelline curler really just curls the lashes with a very natural looking upsweep that makes your lashes look longer and fuller. Definitely recommend this one.
