personally I don't use eyelash curlers on a daily basis but I found that you can usually get this one on sale for 5 dollars. expensive products aren't always the best!
this one doesn't have the little spring so its pretty easy to use and doesn't rip out your lashes.. especially if you are a first timer with eye lash curling, I did find that it doesn't last all day tho, maybe about hour / hour and a half..
I've always owned a pair of these. I naturally have long, curled eye lashes so people always ask me why I even bother wearing mascara or using a curler & my answer is this...yes I have been blessed with beautiful eye lashes (hehe) but every morning they poke in all directions including into my eye balls! :( therefore my eye lashes need some help to stay in the direction that eye lashes are meant to haha That is why I will always have my manicare Eyelash Curler in my make up bag to rescue my poor eye balls in the morning haha
Tips: I find that it works best to curl my lashes first before applying my mascara :)
