I bought these Boots Lift and Curve Eyelash Curlers because there was some kind of eyelash curler insanity going around the office. We tend to have those..at one time it was berry lip tints, then it was Laura Mercier's Pistachio Body Cream (which smells BUFF but is too expensive for me to justify buying it again as I use it up like it's going out of fashion) and then it was eyelash curlers. I was going to pick up the Shu Uemura curlers but the SA's weren't too helpful so I moved on.
I used these and was amazed at how well my lashes curled. They were all sort of pokey uppy (I told you I was shit hot on the technical terms) and my eyes looked really awake. I only realised today that they also make it look as if I have lined my eyes when I haven't which is always a bonus if you're in a rush (as I always am).
However, I have an issue.
I need to use my left hand for my left lashes and my right hand for my right lashes, I'd prefer being able to use one hand for both eyes. Is using both hands the norm with lash curlers or should you be able to do both eyes with one hand? When I did use one hand for both eyes I found that the lashes on the left didn't curl as well (I had to do it in two steps) and also that the curlers gripped my skin.
Another thing I found.. If you have a mascara that is crap, curl your lashes and then apply it and see your mind change. I thought that this Rimmel mascara wasn't all that but when I use it with these, it really comes to life. I can't imagine how well it'd work with mascara that I love.
The proof is in the photographic pudding..
You get replacement pads with these which I like as you don't have to fork out for a new curler when the pads go manky. This brings me onto my next problem..how do you know that the pads have had it? And how do you replace them? I might have to Youtube that and see. I've been using them every single day for about two months now and they don't seem like they need replacing yet.
As you can tell, I'm more than impressed with these..I don't think I'll get the Shu ones but then the devil inside keeps asking me that if the Boots ones are this good, how brilliant must the Shu ones be.
They cost me the grand sum of £6.64 but they with the Boots £5 off vouchers, you can get them for less than £2. Get them here!
