Does the job, love the fit and feel, and it's also pretty [SEP] I didn't 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'm 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've been using mascara for 35 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'm 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've had in the past
