No curls here

I've always used a regular eyelash curler, so this was my first time trying a heated eyelash curler. I was so excited!

It's metallic gold in colour and aesthetically looks very pretty. It's also lightweight. I added 2 AAA batteries and followed the instructions carefully on how to use it. I turned it on and waited for the pink silicone pads to turn white, which is an indication that the curler is ready to use. I used it like I with a regular eyelash curler by holding the front of the curler against my face. I gently clamp my lashes with the silicone pads by pushing the slider upwards and held for 15 seconds. I repeated this few times to achieve my desired curl on my lashes, but unfortunately, my lashes wouldn't curl no matter how many times I tried. I even made sure the my lashes were clean and dry before using it. I also tried holding it down for longer than 15 seconds and it still didn't work for me.

It's safe to say I was disappointed with the results. I don't recommended using this.

Wow! Curl those lashes!

This heated eye lash curler uses 2 X AAA batteries. It doesn’t come with the batteries, so if you do buy this heater lash curler, remember to throw some AAA batteries into your shopping cart at the same time. Putting the batteries into the eye lash curler was very straight forward. The instructions for the eye lash curler are clear and it’s super easy to use, especially if you’re already familiar with using a regular eye lash curler. It’s pretty much the same thing, except you wait for the curler to heat up once you switch it on. It took less than 35 seconds for the eye lash curler to heat up. I must admit, I was initially nervous that it might burn my skin. If you’ve ever heated a standard metal eye lash curler with your blow dryer on the hot setting, then you’ll know that it’s easy to get that too hot and burn your skin. This isn’t the case with this heated eye lash curler at all. Once I got over my nerves, I actually used it 3 times on each eye, to see how curly I could get my lashes. I had only just purchased a regular eye lash curler about a week before I was selected to trial this heated curler, so it was good to be able to compare the two. The Glam by Manicure heated eye lash curler is definitely better. I got a much more defined curl to my lashes. Obviously the longer your lashes are, the more curl you’ll see. Even without applying any mascara after I curled them, my eye lashes definitely stood out more. I wish I hadn’t purchased a brand new regular eye lash curler just before being selected to trial this one, as I’ll definitely be using the Glam by Manicure heated eye lash curler instead. I would definitely recommend this curler.

Tips: Always curl your lashes before you apply your mascara.

A bit of a gimmick

I was really excited to trial the heated eyelash curler. I curled my eyelashes for every event up until a few years back, but those old metal clamps are terrifying! They kink your lashes, jam and are just not a contraption that you want near your eyes. I switched to just juiced up mascara but have never achieved quite the same result as curling first, so a heated eyelash curler was intriguing.

The device is a nice brushed gold colour, which gives it a glam feel. Although it is quite light and feels flimsy in the hand. 2 AAA batteries are required. Flick the switch and the heated pads change from red to clear to let you know when you're good to go. No mucking around or having to test, which is great.

It takes barely a minute to warm up, so it's fast and efficient. It felt a little counter intuitive at first - I had to check the box to see what way to hold it, but it does make sense once you figure it out. I followed the instructions, 10-15 seconds at a time. Two attempts and my lashes were curled to perfection. I think you definitely need more than one go (or just hold it for about 20-25 seconds?) to get a result. The dual silicone pads mean you can curl your lashes without crimping them.

The curl lasted the day for sure. It is a little bulkier than the old school manual curlers, so it did take me more than a few goes to find the ideal spot/position. But that is to be expected. I found it difficult to use on someone else - the button to close the clamp faces you when in use, so the person curling their lashes needs to be confident and capable to do it themselves.

Would I buy this product myself? Probably not. If you curl your lashes every day or a partial to falsies, then sure. It's a relatively cheap investment for lashes that stay curled all day. I'm curious as to how long it lasts with regular use.

Tips: The heated pads change colour to let you know when it is ready. Once they're clear, you're good to go!

Game Changer

So simple, easy and comfortable to use. Would never go back to a traditional eyelash curler. 100% does what it says and my eyelashes stayed curled all day. I'd happily say that now I've discovered this gem I won't bother getting extensions again, I use an eyelash serum and good mascara but the curl you get from this gem of a beauty tool makes it all worth it.

Tips: Shop around, the price varies from place to place.

Compact and sleek

The Glam by Manicare Heated Eyelash Curler comes in a cute little box and I was impressed that it didn't have a massive box for a tiny product. The design is sophisticated and would easily fit into any colour scheme. The curler is super simple to use and it's lovely to hold. I did think when I was putting the two batteries in that I would need to be a little bit careful when changing batteries as it did seem a little flimsy. There is a tidy little on/off switch. I really liked the way the silicon pads change from pink when cold to clear when ready to be used and heated. I did notice that it probably took a little longer than 60 seconds for it to fully heat up. When using the Glam by Manicare Heated Eyelash Curler I needed to get it quite close to my eyelids to actually get my lashes into the curler. I wonder whether having quite short lashes is a bit of a problem using this. I did struggle to get my lashes fully into the eyelash curler and had to have a few gos at getting them to curl. My lashes probably didn't curl as much as I would have liked them to, but again this was possibly due to my short eyelashes. I would like to try this after I use some eyelash growth serum to see if the results improve for me. I could feel that the curler was warm but there seemed very little change of being burnt by this tool. I doubt it would be hot enough to burn quickly. I would definitely recommend those with slightly longer lashes to try this tool. It's fun, simple and pretty quick which is always a bonus when we're all very busy!

Disappointed

Perhaps my lashes are too stubborn but this really didn't work well for me at all. I tried multiple different durations and only managed to achieve a slight crimp (exactly what it says it doesn't do) in my lashes. But by no means did it curl them. I held hope for it, as heated eyelash curlers were something I thought might actually work. Alas it did not. The product itself seems kinda flimsy like it wouldn't last the distance, the basic idea is there but overall just didn't live up to the promise and I get better results from a good old fashioned eyelash curler. I wanted to love it, I really did. I do have incredibly straight eyelashes so perhaps they are just too stubborn for this product and better suit someone who already has a bit of curl to their lashes.

Didn’t hold the curl

This was a little bit scary to use at first because I thought I might burn my eye or pinch my eyelid but neither happened!

It took a little bit of practice to get the hang of it but once I got the angle of the curler right, hold it a bit away from your face not straight down, I was away.

It doesn’t give you a curl in 15 seconds, I found about 60 seconds gave me any noticeable curl but unfortunately it just did not hold.

I tried to curl if for longer to see if that would make the curl last any longer but sadly no.

I really wanted this to be a new addition to my beauty routine but it’s not worth the time spent or the batteries for a curl that didn’t even last me 10 minutes.

Tips: Clamp your lashes closer to the top not the bottom to see a better curl…..but blink and you’ll miss it!

Better than warm bread and cold butter

This is AMAZING. Love that it has twin curl factor, so it curls from the base, then folds those upwards again. My eyes never looked so big and open (I have a lazy eye, so this made a big difference.) I also like that the silicone changes colour. The first go I used as per instructions, the second I turned it off when it was ready prior to putting near my eyes then did the same the other side. It takes a little practice compared to the old scissor style curlers, and I just felt more comfortable not having to worry about it being hot (it’s not HOT hot, but warm. You can totally touch the silicone when it’s at temp without burning yourself, but it did make me less nervous putting it so close to my eyelid the first few times.) Once you get the hang of it it’s fantastic. No pumping, 10 seconds and your done. It lasts too - not once did my eyes bother me all day! Ideal if you are a contact wearer like me - there is no pain in the world like an eyelash stabbing your eyeball behind a rigid contact lense! Also, when the batteries are going flat - the power on indicator light flashes - nice add on, so you know it’s not the curler malfunctioning (turns out one of the batteries from the new pack was already flat, hence finding out the flashy light trick.) I will treasure this.

Tips: Take as many practice turns as you need to until your comfortable- it’s worth your time.

So much easier to have lush curly lashes

I really enjoy this product! As someone who does not use a traditional curler as I always catch my eyelids(hello short lashes!) I wasn’t sure if I would burn myself but was pleasantly surprised. Once I got the hang of how long it needed and where to place it I got great results. Curls lashes nicely and they stay curled for the day.

Tips: Slowly push the curler up and hold for 30seconds to allow curl to hold.

Sadly a Disappointment

I was very excited to try this product after I was selected to review it by beauty review. My lashes are long but straight and the classic eyelash curlers did nothing for them, I was hoping this would be exactly what they needed! Unfortunately I was disappointed. Each time I tried, I used it just on one eye to compare the difference it made, and the effect of the curler was little or none.

The tool itself takes some getting used to. My main tip after some trial and error is to make sure you push the slider up all the way so that it brings the heated part right up to your lashes. The shape and nature of the tool makes it impossible (at least from all of my attempts) to get a curl right at the base of the lashes. This means you can't get the dramatic curl that I was hoping for, the one that makes your eyes look bigger and wider. So if you want a dramatic curl, look elsewhere. This curler is only going to achieve a very subtle, natural curl. It also crimped my lashes somewhat. I'm not sure if this is something I was doing wrong, but I used it as directed and the box says it doesn't cause crimping so that was a surprise. It didn't matter much though as the crimping straightened out when I applied mascara, as did most of the subtle curl, which was a disappointment.

If a subtle curl is what your after then this might be worth a try for you, however the next disappointment for me was that the curl didn't hold. This might vary depending on your individual lashes, but for me the subtle curl lasted a few hours max. I tried without mascara and with different mascaras, each time using it only on one eye. One thing to note is that when I used a mascara with a wet formula (bareminerals strength and length) I lost the curl as soon as I applied the mascara. With Too Faced's BTS the curl dropped a bit but then stayed like it was for a few hours. Without mascara the curl also dropped over a few hours.

The real deal breaker was that it made little to no difference. After applying mascara the difference that the curler made on my lashes was very small, basically the same as what I get from just using mascara and blinking. I asked my family to pick which eye had more curled lashes and even on the day it worked the best they only got a 50% success rate.

To summarise, this is my experience:

1. Straight after curling: A subtle, natural looking curl. It would be a nice natural look if it stayed.

2. Straight after adding mascara to it: Curl dropped considerably, even with Too Faced's BTS. Looks very similar to eye that wasn't curled, or exactly the same.

3. After a few hours, regardless of whether mascara is applied or not: Looks the same as the eye that didn't use the curler.

Since the difference was little or nothing, I probably won't use this much, or ever. I tested it thoroughly for review purposes, but for my lashes the curler is not at all worth the bother.

Tips: Push the slider all the way up so it heats your lashes properly.
