this review title is: you can stop looking this is the one and the content is: this eyelash curler is the bomb i am over and have long eyelashes enhanced by several years of using latisse the only issue is while my lashes are long they are unruly they stick out in multiple directions and if i do not use a curler they look horrible over three years ago i purchased a shu uemura online from their site i was happy with it and it performed well but the pads wore out and when i went online to purchase another one i was disappointed to see that not only were they purchased by loreal they were completely out of stock on eyelash curlers on their own website the internet is flooded with counterfeit shu uemuras and frankly i did not want that either so i went in search of an alternativei purchased another high rated curler the billy b eyelash curler online hoping that it would do the trick the billy b one is different from the uemura it has a more rounded shape and i was hoping it would do a fabulous job unfortunately i found that i had a harder time getting the rounded billy b up next to my eyelash base and inevitably it would miss my corner lashes entirely i am sure the billy b works well for people with smaller more rounded eyes and in all honesty the pads on it were great it just was not the right fit for meso again i went searching and that is when i stumbled across the bella bear this thing is awesome and with a single coat of mascara for work my eyelashes look a mile long and very well separated i cannot say enough good things about how easy this was to put up against my eyeline and get a good curl the handle fits my hand well and the spring loaded mechanism on this means you do not have to press all that hard to achieve a good curl it is flatter and not as rounded as the billy b so if your eyes are longer and flatter this one should be able to easy grab from corner to corner without missing any lashes in fact when i lined up my curlers side by side you can see the shape of this one is more like the uemura than the billy bthe curler arrives packaged in a box so you will not have to worry about it being broken in shipmentin all i am so happy with this eyelash curler that i will never go back to another brand so long as this one never gets broken i should be in business for a very long time i have already recommended it to a friend to use on her daughters long eyelashes during dance recitals my search for the perfect curler is over.there are other information for this review, one is this reviewer did not purchase it and the other is 71 people think this review is helpful.
