While these are a really pretty colour and feel like really good quality they just aren’t anything special.
The curve of the clamp did not fit my small eye well and my short lashes did not reach the comb.
I think if you had bigger eyes and longer lashes it would work better for you then it did for me.
Packaging: Manicare have always seemed to go a little overboard with their packaging, but I guess it makes it easy to identify their products in amongst a sea of others. I like that it clearly shows it comes with a spare comb. It looks sleek.
The product: Overall, it is well constructed, feels sturdy. It has nice comfort slips in the finger holes which is a nice touch. The gorgeous rose gold pink is divine. It moves easily without catching on anything and seems great. The comb looks a little ominous. It is also kind of big.
Using the product: I have naturally pretty invisible eye lashes as they're pretty blonde/fair. I'm used to being able to see that the lashes are in place before I clamp however this is made very difficult by the comb in place. The curler part itself seems big and like it sits quite a way from the eyes so you have to kinda push it in more but then you run the risk of pinching the skin of your eyelid. It kinda just felt cumbersome and a bit too much for me personally. I don't know if having hooded eyes played a part in this.
Did it do what it said: When it worked, sort of. It didn't not curl my lashes but applying mascara afterwards I didn't really think that they looked much different if at all different to my standard curler. Which I tried one on each eye to see if there was a difference. I guess it was subtle but I was expecting more.
Overall thoughts: I could take it or leave it. My standard eye lash curler would suffice for my needs.
On paper it sounds like a very good idea. In reality: I don't see the point of the comb. I have long straight lashes, but I couldn't even see any of my lashes on the comb part, which made me think that my eyelashes must be super short.
I couldn't see any of my lashes at all, no idea if the curler has gripped anything. The angle of the whole curler is wrong, too - I can't curl anything without most of the curler touching/scrapping my cheeks, which I was afraid would smear my cheek makeup. Inability to see my lashes means everytime I used it I was scared that I might accidentally pinched my eyelids. Not in a hurry to replace my expensive eyelash curler with this one.
Positive: I like the pink non-slip finger grip.
I was keen to try the new version of the manicure eyelash curler with attached comb as I have used the standard version before.
The eyelash curler is an attractive metallic pink colour and looks and feels sturdy. It comes with and extra replacement pad and comb. The instructions on the back of the packet are easy to follow.
I feel the results were probably not as good as they could have been because I had trouble getting the device close to my eyeline. It pinched the skin in the corners so I had to sit the curler slightly further back to avoid this. I couldn’t really get a good lift. The comb attached to the end didn’t do a lot to separate my eyelashes and made it tricky to use. Probably because of the reason stated above. The comb attachment does come off easily though but it feels a bit gimmicky and a good mascara can separate your lashes just the same.
I really liked the rubber padding on the finger grips. It definitely makes it more comfortable to use in that aspect.
Personally I wouldn’t repurchase as it didn’t work well for my eye shape. It does stated on the back of the packet suitable for most eye shapes and lengths.
Tips: Wipe over the rubber pad after each use.
Sometimes you don’t need to mess with a classic. The basic design of this product is the classic eyelash curler, this one has been modified to what feels like it should be a new and improved version, but it falls at the first hurdle. On first use, I tried it as it comes, but you can’t see if you have the eyelashes evenly in the curler because of the comb. So next use I flipped that off - it’s about 3mm away from the curler and doesn’t actually touch the lashes anyway - so not functionally well positioned. The next use, I took the pretty pink finger cushion’s out - maybe I have fat fingers but with those there I couldn’t get a great grip. What I was left with was a pretty pink version of my own gold manicare eyelash curler. It is now perfect. Works as it should, curls evenly, the parts meet like they should and it comes with spare parts. One of the things I did notice when opening the packet is that it’s easy to get into, not crimped plastic that you need scissors on - so that was a bonus. I’m sad about the comb because I thought that would be handy, but you can’t use it on its own easily due to the part it attaches to the curler with. I don’t use false lashes - so maybe it would work better with those. As it was originally, the added extras provided more of a hindrance.
Tips: Take away the add on’s.
I did not like this eyelash curler. It is far too stiff to give my lashes a proper curl. I like the concept of having the eyelash comb in the curler for a 2 in 1, but because I can't get a good enough curl, the comb doesn't get close enough to comb through my lashes from the root, which is what I want. At this point, I prefer using my normal eyelash comb and eyelash curler separately to achieve the result I want. I have big eyes and long eyelashes and I also notice that it couldn't fit all my eyelashes across my eye in at the same time.
Tips: If you have small eyes or short-medium lashes, this might work for you, otherwise, stick to the two separate items for best results.
I have been using this for a week now. It is good quality in terms of construction and material. Love the colour! Do I feel the comb is necessary?...... No, not really?! The directions specifically say not to curl once mascara has been applied. For my eyelashs it is AFTER mascara has been applied that my eyelashes clump. Personally, if you don't like clump then look for a defining mascara. It did produce a nice curl. Summary is nice curl, does the job. Unless you have really thick lashes a normal curler will be just as good. Big fan of the pink :D
Tips: try to make sure lashes are straight before closing as the comb makes it a bit hard to see and you can end up with crooked eyelashs. Once you have it down its no issue.
