Review title is Wanted it to work for me... [SEP] I've been using this curler for the last few weeks & as much as I wanted to love it, I don't.  The curler itself is very well made, it is durable, the spring works great, & the finger grips make it easy to grip without fear of it slipping.  The only design flaw that I've found is that the rubber pad that curls my lashes already has a slit in it from where the metal & rubber meet.  The other issue which is why it doesn't work for me is the curve of the actual curler.  It is very wide which, but the curve of the curler is too strait for my eyes.  I have almond shaped eyes & I guess a slightly smaller eye socket.  In order to get all of my lashes in the curler I have to press the curler into my eyelid & then adjust the angle to get them in a few times to get the curler close enough to the base of my lashes.  If I only had to press the curler lightly on my eyelid that would be one thing, but I have to really press & almost flatten out my eyelid for it to work.  Even after that I get maybe a creased &#34;curl&#34;.  My lashes are quite long & bone strait & even pumping the curler a few times up my lashes doesn't give much of a curl.  By the time I put on mascara they are almost strait again.  I've been using curlers for 20 some odd years now & honestly the drug store ones work better for me personally.<br /><br />If you have short lashes & more oval eyes this may be a great curler for you & I do recommend it for the quality.  Good luck!
