Glam by Manicare Heated Eyelash Curler

Sometimes tech exists just to add a layer of complication to things I think. But this product actually steps up the traditional lash curler.

I HATE those metal clamps, man my eye twitches just thinking about them; my eyelids are probably reliving the trauma of being pinched.

The silicone pads on this curler are so soft and cushioning, your eyelashes feel like they're being hugged not tugged.

It runs on batteries which are easy to install. I don't mind the battery aspect actually, I know some might prefer charger.

I like that the pads change colour, letting you know its to temp.

The curl it gives is very impressive and lasts through the day, into the night. Even without mascara it boosts your eyes, making them look open and wide!

I really enjoyed this trial - thanks BR!

This eyelash curler is lovely to hold and use - I always find the metal curlers hard to hold (maybe it's a left-handed thing?)but this just fits your hand and thumb perfectly.

It doesn't take long to reach temperature, and doesn't get so hot you feel like you're risking life nor eye using it.

The curl and lift it achieves is actually really impressive - without mascara it's a 'your lash but better' result. With mascara it's 'your lash with maximum drama'! I LOVE BOTH!

I am converted, I love this product and it will be used daily.

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 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!

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.

I gave up on eyelash curlers years ago after experiencing being pinched, kinked lashes and curling pads that kept falling out. When I saw the new heated eyelash curler from Manicare I was super excited to give it a go! Did it restore my faith in eyelash curlers? Most definitely!!! This lash curler is much more manageable than the old metal ones, as it is easy to hold and not fiddly at all. It takes 2 AAA batteries, and when switched on heats gently to a comfortable heat (won't burn you skin if you accidentally touch it), you will know it is ready to use as the pads turn from pink to white. Place up to the top lash line and slide up the leaver to close the pads over the lashes, there is also a third pad which pushes the lashes back onto the pads, hold and release. My lashes were left with a lovely natural looking lift, to get a more dramatic effect do it again! This is a great tool and I would definitely recommend it to others.

I was fortunate to be selected to trial this heated lash curler. I’ve used lash curler’s for a number of years and usually will heat the curler with my hairdryer in order to get a better result. Of course the risk of this is over-heating the rubber pad and potentially singing my lashes, so was delighted to give this gadget a trial!

On first glance, it comes in a nicely packaged box, lots of black and contrasting gold, and the unit itself is much the same. It takes 2 x AAA batteries (not supplied), and takes very little time to heat, helpfully the rubber curling pad turns from pink to an opaque colour to let you know when it’s ready (1-2 minutes at most). I did find it a little intimidating putting something heated near my eyelid, but once brave enough I found that the heat curled my lashes nicely. I did two goes on either side alternatively and definitely noticed the curl when applying mascara.

The only drawback is that with a normal eyelash curler you can clearly see where your “clamping” your lashes where-as with this curler, because of it’s bulk, you’re kind of guessing if you're close enough to the base of your lashes. Mine only arrived 3 days before this review was due so I didn’t get a lot of practise time, but I think that with more tries with it, it will become second nature.

My verdict – for the price, definitely worth trying if you’re wanting nicely curled lashes without spending too much time faffing around in the morning.

Love this eyelash curler so much! I was expecting this eyelash curer to be a waste of my money and maybe even burn my eyelashes off. But I stand completely corrected! This eyelash curler literally makes my eyelash look so nice and lifted as if I had a eyelash lift!!

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.
