Glam by Manicare Heated Eyelash Curler

I have lashes that are extremely straight and almost go downwards so I purchased this hoping it would help, did literally nothing and that's with me holding it for longer than recommended timing, also was super awkward to try use. Wouldn't recommend at all.

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!!

Picked this up in the vault a couple months back. Easy to use and instructions are on the box. Is a nice extra step to your routine if you use this first and then add Mascara. Or can be used by itself for an easy day look.

Quick to heat up (60 seconds)Never gets too hot. Does take 2x AAA batteries. Great for ones self or as a gift.

This heated eyelash curler was much better than my usual one. It means my lashes hold their curl better, and I feel like it takes less time than usual.

I was initially concerned that it would be really hot on my eyes, but I didn't find I had any sensitivity, and I certainly didn't burn myself using it.

I've rated this really highly because I think it's a good tool, and it definitely did what it said it would. If you're a person who uses an eyelash curler every day, I think this definitely would be for you.

For me, I usually don't bother with an eyelash curler every day and end up a bit sad that my lashes aren't as good as they could be. There are a couple of things about this I wish were different: 1. I wish it was USB chargeable rather than it used batteries. Battery operated means it's slightly more annoying to take away with you, because if you run out of batteries you need to find new ones. 2. I found 3 times during the trial period, I left it on after I left for work in the morning. Thankfully there was someone else home who could turn it off. It would be great if it had an auto-cutoff of 10min or so. 3. I'm not clear whether, if needed, you could replace the pads.

All in all though - I will definitely keep using this, even though I wish there were a few improvements.

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 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.

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 found it is fast heating in 60 seconds and does not feel too hot. The pads change from pink to clear when it was ready. It also curls nicely without crimping the lashes. It is easy to use and easy to hold. Also fast cooling down so easily enough to pop away again. Not 100% if I'd use too often myself, wonder if it would work better for shorter lashes? I did find it took a few goes over again and still did not get a real big curl that I like. Not sure if it just needs to do it longer or more times.
