I've been using this product for over a year and haven't had to use the refill yet. I don't use mascara with it so I kept it relatively clean. It still works well after a year although not as great as it first started out. Nonetheless, it keeps my lashes curled for the whole day.

Im torn!

This IS an amazing eye lash curler, but its also as good as any $6-10 drug store brand as well! I mean, some cheap ones just pinch and don't curl, but I've honestly had some that are $7 and work just the same. So even though it is amazing, its just as amazing as some cheaper ones (Revlon is my favourite).

it also doesn't come with any refills which REALLY bugged me because I don't like using the same one for too long. I also have really thick lashes so have to hold it a little longer, and it does slightly pinch SOMETIMES on the corner ends, but maybe not for everyone I just have really big eyes.

I wouldn't recommend, ONLY BECAUSE of the price and lacking of refills. But it did its job!

this is an awesome eyelash curler! I recently got this as a replacement as I had lost my old one (some cheap one I bought years ago -Revlon maybe?) and let me tell you, I never thought there was anything wrong with my old one until I tried this one! I didn't know that your eyelash curler wasn't supposed to hurt when you used it or that it did a poor job of curling my lashes until i tried the Shu Umera one. This one is amazing! It fits my eye curavature so well that it never hurts now when I curl my lashes and it doensn't crimp them, it CURLS them! Although this one is on the pricier side, I think it's worth every penny. This will last you for years to come!

This eyelash curler is the real deal. When I'm running late in the morning and feeling really lazy, my one-two punch is blush and shu. This gets all my lashes all the way to the corners of my eyes. The result is batty, flirty lashes that last ALL DAY, until you wash your face. My lashes would usually fall flat at the end of the day with mascara, but my shu'd lashes -- even without mascara -- stay perfectly curled through a day at the office and a workout.

Believe the hype! This eyelash curler is a worthy investment!

As a make-up artist I don't leave home without this one in my kit. I have asian eyes so the curler is nice and rounded to fit smaller eyes. It always gives me and my clients the most perfect curl!
