I LOVE IT!
It’s exactly what I was looking for~~!

I wasn’t happy with the Sephora brand one I bought a few months ago. I had been using the same drugstore brand of curler since I was in high school. Maybelline I think. A few months ago, instead of replacing it with the same like I always did, I bought a super cute pink Sephora one instead. I figured it would at least be as good if not better. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. It was worse than my drugstore brand ones! It didn’t give a full curl on my lashes plus rubbed against my eyelid even though I was holding it a million miles away. It constantly rubbed my eyeliner off. My natural lashes are long and a bit thick, so it’s not like I could curl first then apply liquid liner. Plus my old one never had this problem. But enough about the reasons WHY I wanted a good brand!!

WHY I LIKE IT
It fits my eye-shape perfectly! No rubbing off eyeliner and no pinching! Best of all the curl!!!!! Full curl up towards the sky again! Weeeeee! And it lasts for hours! Even no mascara it lasts! I actually compared side by side the Sephora curler used on one eye and Shu Uemura did the other. It looked ridiculous because the difference was so obvious. Looking at the curlers close up the differences are nearly indistinguishable but the functionality of those slight differences are quite apparent. The Sephora one isn’t as curved or as long along the lash line. The biggest difference was how far back set the pads were. The Sephora pad was much further out than the Shu Uemura one. This was probably what caused me the most issue with the Sephora one.

I will say that, I probably couldn’t have appreciated the Shu Uemura one when I was younger. Because if you aren’t trying to get the full potential volume and curl out of your lashes then the minor differences probably wouldn’t mean much. I know I used to have way lower standards for what I expected my lashes to do. But now I want the most volume, curl, and length humanly possible when not wearing false lashes and without the help of lash extensions!! I want my lashes visible from across the room! Alas, I live with the doomed delusion of wanting a fake eyelash look without the fake eyelashes! I’m not alone in this and I know it because mascaras like FALSIES and Beauty Tubes and Fiberwig all exist because there are other delusional people out there like me obsessed with going bigger and more dramatic xD Lash serums too~~!!! Impossible goal

Until then false eyelashes are there to save the day! Currently my favorite is Dolly Wink’s No.4 Feminine Style. Yesstyle has some now too along with a few of the eyeshadows in the more popular multi-colors (and not the brown or gray palette yet.)
