I wanted to like this lash curler so badly. I own awfully straight lashes that basically refuse to curl and I constantly pinch my skin from regular eyelash curlers. Just from seeing the design online, I was excited at the prospect of finally finding a lash curler that works.
Now my problems with this curler is that it doesn't really follow through with its claims, even though I wish it did.. Personally, I couldn't curl my lashes all at once no matter what I tried--it had to be done in sections. The other major issue I had with it is that my brand new lash curler arrived misaligned.

Initially, this wasn't a
huge problem for me, I told myself that my lashes were actually kind of curling and that this minor misalignment was tolerable. But it only got worse, from just one use!

I don't think I was being aggressive, I simply handled it the way I would any other eyelash curler. After various attempts, I became increasingly frustrated and the product just ended up feeling cheap. I wasn't expecting something like this to happen with a new
20$ lash curler. I tried fiddling with it to perhaps somehow fix it myself, but there's no way to tighten the joints and all I could do was push it into the correct alignment. Doing that was useless though since I can't continue pushing it together and curl my lashes at the same time. I suppose I could deal with this misalignment by curling my lashes in sections like the product suggests, but I would prefer to have both options.

Regrettably, I do not like the current state of this lash curler. The design needs to be refined in terms of proper function and longevity through repeated use. I love that it comes with five replacement pads, the consideration for the consumer is obviously there. But what's the point of coming with several replacements if I can't even use the curler properly to begin with? Maybe if the curler underwent some construction and improved a bit, it could actually revolutionize lash curlers.
