would not recommend [SEP] after such raving positive reviews i decided to purchase this eyelash curler when it arrived i could not wait to use it upon opening the package i could see that something was wrong with it like some of the other reviewers posted here i also received a totally crooked curler i do not understand where quality control is with things like this how do these crooked eyelash curlers even get pass inspection at the factory i went ahead and tried the curler despite the crooked design and i had to curl my lashes times just to get a decent curl to them i was not impressed at all i cannot recommend this curler due to the fact that the one that i received was crooked and who knows how long it will last before it breaks and the fact that i get a much better curl with my old eyelash curler makes it such a disappointment too much hassle to send back
