OK, I broke down and purchased this eyelash curler. I don't like eyelash curlers because I don't think they do anything and are a pain to use. This eyelash curler is REALLY comfortable and easy to use, which surprised me. I still can't figure out why everyone raves about these. I do not notice a difference between my eyelashes before curling and after. To me they look the same. But I do recommend this product for the comfort aspect. It is so easy to use.
