works but it gets hot and you have to remove your contacts to use [SEP] the curler arrived nicely boxed with directions usb charger cord is included you need your own usb outlet plug it charged easily the red indicator light shows that it is charging the light turns green when it is charged the curler was easy to use just apply a coat of mascara then hold the blower close to your lashes to curl them my lashes are short so they curled in seconds directions said hold blower close to lashes for seconds the air started feeling a little too hot for me after seconds seconds would have been way too long my biggest drawback is you have to remove your contact lenses before using the curler it is written on the box and in the directions luckily i read the directions removing my contact lenses is an extra hassle for me since i have to keep one lens in at a time in order to see what i am doing i have tried it a second time and again the heat was too hot and i felt uncomfortable this product wasn t for me because i am a contact lens wearer and the heat was too hot disappointing because it did curl my lashes
