The item is a good concept. It’s a little longer than a mascara. Not too big to maneuver. The brush heats up in about 20 seconds. It has an easy to read indicator that changes color when ready. It heats to 131* F. You have to hold on lashes for 3 seconds and curl in a few sections . Then curl the ends. It doesn’t pinch like traditional scissor style curlers can. I have big eyes, so most lash curlers pinch as they are too small for my eyes. That I like. . I like it, but just not blown away.
