does the job love the fit and feel and it is also pretty [SEP] i did not really need a new eyelash curler because i just bought one earlier this year when finding replacement pads proved difficult and it was cheaper to buy a new one but i liked this pink color and the padded handles i am really glad i did now because i had one of those cheap metal types with rubber handles that would come off over time as they stretched no worries with this one i have been using mascara for years and never had one of these that was spring loaded but this is nice it helps me curl my lashes quickly since i have no patience to stand there for long periods of time to make sure the curl is just right the extra little finger grip is good for making sure i have more precision when i am using it too the plastic thing to keep it closed when not in use seems sturdy enough i noticed some said it was cheap and broke so either mine is a new improved piece of plastic or they are just rough on things the extra refills means i can keep it much longer than any of the others i have had in the past
