Glam by Manicare Heated Eyelash Curler

I was so excited to try this curler as I curl my eyelashes every day. Bofh of my young teenage girls couldn't wait to try it either. First impressions were great. The box is appealing and the curler itself looks high end. However, I found it no better than a regular clamp eyelash curler. Even though it only takes 60 seconds to heat up, it's a little annoying waiting for it. So the 2nd day I used it, I turned it on at the start of my routine, and then i forgot about it and ran the batteries flat! The 3rd day I got into a better routine with it, but I really didn't feel that it curls my lashes any better than the regular clamp. It may make the curl last a little longer given that it heats the lash up, and it is maybe a little gentler than the regular clamp. Although in saying that, I didn't find it as easy to clamp the lashes either, it was a bit awkward. Given the price, I think I will just stick with the basic one. Pros: slightly gentler and better for lashes. Cons: Takes time to heat. Doesn't work any better than regular clamp. It would be really annoying when you need to use it, or you are away, and the batteries have run out and you don't have any replacement batteries. I do love the concept, but found it much easier and more convenient to use my regular clamp.

Comment from my teenage daughters: "it wasn't good, but it wasn't bad. It took longer to use than a normal one. It was nice to use, but not as good as a normal one"

I love this it honestly is great for making my eyelashes really long with out putting heaps of mascara on. It’s comfortable to use and doesn’t burn you’re lash I think it’s great that it heats up fast it’s also great the colour changes to indicate it’s ready taking the guess out of it. It is easy and very handy to have in you’re makeup bag. I would definitely get another one if this one ever decided to stop working.

This product took a bit of practice to get right, so don't give up on it before you've given it a good go. It heats up really quickly, but not to a point you'll burn yourself if you touch the heated silicone bits, so it's really safe to use. Easy to see when it's reached temperature as the silicone strips go white. I found once I'd worked out what I was doing the curl looked great and with mascara lasted all day.

This is a game changer!! Love the eyelash curler, was a little nervous at using them at first but they really do the trick! I have had fake eyelashes before and it is uncomfortable, costly and time consuming. This is the next best thing but without the hassle. The results are terrific. Its quick, easy and safe to use. Lovely curled lashes that make your eyes stand out. I often use instead of mascara now. My new favorite beauty product!

Firstly, thank you BR for allowing me to trial this, Neat little tool much better than using a manual curler. Main body of the curler is a gold coloured plastic with black trim and a gel pad for curling your lashes. Big downside is its battery operated instead of USB as batteries only lasted a week, if thats the case it will be an expensive device to run. Took a while to get used to using the curler, still getting the knack of it but worked well considering i have really short lashes. I left it on my lashes for about 60 seconds. I have to use it a few times to get it to lift my lashes but it does make them look better. I needed to be careful that it wasnt too close to my lashes as it did feel on the hot side but didn't want to take the risk of seeing if it did burn. My only gripe really is its not USB and how long will the Gel pad last as from looking at the device it doesnt appear it can be replaced - perhaps pass on this feedback to Manicare. Overall I am happy with the device

.

I found it is fast heating in 60 seconds and does not feel too hot. The pads change from pink to clear when it was ready. It also curls nicely without crimping the lashes. It is easy to use and easy to hold. Also fast cooling down so easily enough to pop away again. Not 100% if I'd use too often myself, wonder if it would work better for shorter lashes? I did find it took a few goes over again and still did not get a real big curl that I like. Not sure if it just needs to do it longer or more times.

I went in with high expectations and was really excited to try this curler. Unfortunately it doesn't drastically curl your lashes as states even when clamped longer than recommended time. It once got stuck clamped and needed to be manually pulled down to avoid damage to my lash. If anything it helped separate the lashes for easier application of mascara but unfortunately a bit disappointed and would not recommend sadly. Great idea and would love to see maybe a product that you apply first that can help heat set the lash. Just a thought.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial the Glam by Manicare Heated Eyelash Curler. I have used eyelash curlers before, but not heated ones, so I was interested in giving this a try.

The lash curler comes inside a cardboard box that is black and has a picture of the curler on the front. On the back are the instructions for how to use the curler. The curler itself is enclosed in a plastic try inside the box. It requires 2 AAA batteries to operate, which are not included. The curler is gold and black, and ergonomically shaped.

The curler is very easy to operate. Once you have put in some batteries, all you need to do is switch it on and wait for the silicon pads to heat up. They heat up quickly – it only takes about 1 minute. The silicon pads start off pink but turn clear when they reach the correct temperature. You then place the side with the slider on it (the gold side) closest to your face, with the curved gold piece resting against your browbone. You then make sure that your lashes are enclosed between the clear silicone pad and the curved gold piece. Once your lashes are in place, then you push the slider up the whole way and hold it there for 10 – 15 seconds. The instructions say that it is okay to repeat this until the “desired level of curl is achieved”.

At first I was nervous using this as I was putting something hot near my eyes! However, although you can feel the heat coming from the silicone pads, the pads do not feel too hot and do not hurt to use.

The curler did curl my eyelashes. I have quite stubborn lashes that do their own thing: some curl naturally, and others stick out straight. I felt that the heat from the curler made a difference to its effectiveness, giving my lashes a more pronounced curl than that from a simple handheld curler. I think the curl lasted longer too. It was also very easy to use. It was easier to hold the slider up, and to keep it up for 10 – 15 seconds, than to squeeze the handles together for 10 – 15 seconds on a regular curler. The heated eyelash curler also has two sets of heated pads, as opposed to the one set that you get on a traditional eyelash curler. I think this also contributes to its effectiveness.

Altogether I think this is a useful and effective tool. I recommend it if you are looking for a heated eyelash curler. I plan to continue using it once the trial is finished.

Oh how I love this product. Nice and lightweight and pretty stylish in looks with it's gold and black colouring. The unit has pink silicon pads that turn clear when it's ready to use, activated by a simple switch. Mine wasn't perfect as part of my silicon pad had a cold spot that never quite turned clear but I was able to angle the tool in order to cover that cold spot. Line the curler up close to your lashes, squeeze them with the clamp and hold for about 10 to 15 seconds. Apply mascara for a dramatic effect or leave clean and they'll look like they've been professionally lifted. Love this curler and will continue to use ever day, as I have since I received it.

Picked this up in the vault a couple months back. Easy to use and instructions are on the box. Is a nice extra step to your routine if you use this first and then add Mascara. Or can be used by itself for an easy day look.

Quick to heat up (60 seconds)Never gets too hot. Does take 2x AAA batteries. Great for ones self or as a gift.
