Glam by Manicare Heated Eyelash Curler

Id used heated eyelash curlers in the 90s and loved them. I always had to buy online overseas as we never had any here in NZ. For me they were a life changer as I have been using manual eyelash curlers since I was 15. I used to heat the pad up with my hairdryer, but that resulted in the burning of my eyelids multiple times! So when I saw this being advertised I jumped at the chance to review it and I wasnt disappointed. Its brilliant does exactly what I needed to do and gave my lashes a really lovely curl. So yes I highly recommend this product if you are are eyelash curler girl, or try it if your not, the results speak for themselves.

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.

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 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.

It’s a beautiful, sleek & a glamourous looking gadget! And so easy to carry in your purse. The first day I tried it, I was a bit scared of burning my eyes. But after the first use found it quite easy. Really, it’s such a simple & easy gadget. I did different trials the first few days to see the difference, not using a curler on one eye & using the manicure on the other eye or using the regular curler one eye & using the manicure on the other eye. And then getting my family to guess which eye I used the manicure on. Of course, they guessed it right away:) This was such a fun review for me! The eye lashes curl up better with a manicure than a regular curler. Finish with mascara and a liner to get the ultimate look!

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.

First impressions were ‘it feels super cheap’ , then I realised it is cheap to buy so I can’t complain on that part! I put batteries in, turned it on and wow, it heats up super quick. The pads change colour within seconds. When I go to use it, it freaks me out. The feeling of heat going close to your eyes is super scary. But you literally press it for about 2 seconds and you’re done! I have the tiniest lashes and it makes them look much longer!! You use less time than a manual curler. Super easy. Only downfall is that it’s hard to push the button up fully, to get it to fully clamp your lashes, and it feels like I might slip my thumb and then the curler will pull all my lashes!!! So you have to be super careful. But otherwise, it does what it says! I’m gonna keep using it before I put mascara on each day. It doesn’t add much time into my routine and it really does work!

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 have thin , short eyelashes that point down. I tried to use this heated eyelash curler and make it work for me,by pressing the silicone pad (once clear and heated) on to my lashes then holding for 30 seconds and also trying a different way by pressing for 15 seconds then moving the silicone pad closer to my eyelid then pressing again, sadly it didn’t make any difference. I have used heated lash curlers in the past and they have worked for me.

I think this curler is not curved enough to fit to the curvature of my face therefore cannot reach all my lashes as close to my eyelid as possible.

It is easy to use, I like to gold design, but will not recommend this to someone with thin/ short lashes. I think this would work for someone with long lashes.

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.
