when i went to korea, i had this long list of wish list that i slowly filed through since i only have one face to try stuff on. and it's not just skincare and makeup. i have some tools as well. one of them is this heating eyelash curler. i saw some youtube videos that korean people like to heat their eyelash to make the curl hold longer. veteran makeup artist does it the old way, by burning a stick and then stuck it under the eyelash. however, there's a new and simpler way to do it, with a heating eyelash curler. when i got there. there were two types. one looks regular like other eyelash curler, only there's a USB hole at the bottom so you can recharge it. the other one has a straight end. one side has the heating element. however, that one is not rechargeable so i decided to pick the old regular type rechargeable one.

the packaging: it comes in a white and green box with the picture of the product at front. there's the product name along with smaller description, whether it's battery-operated or USB charged. description at the back is in korean. the curler is placed on a plastic tray and you can find the USB cable underneath. it's the good old USB to USB C one.

the product: there's a small booklet inside about the instruction on how to use the curler. the curler is made of plastic and there's only one button. you have to press the button for several seconds to turn it on. there's three circles underneath the on/off button which indicates the battery life. if there's only one button left, then it means that you have to charge it to keep using it. i never measure how long it takes to heat it up, but i can feel that it doesn't take long. the other indicator is the color of the rubber. if it's heated, the color will turn from yellow to white-ish.

the result: i totally love it. sure it takes a few uses to learn how to do it properly. you have to be careful not to hold it too close to your lid or it will burn your lid. i did it once so i can tell you that it does feel hot, but not scorching hot. anyway, once you've learnt on how to do it, you will get the hang of it. another thing to remember is that if you don't hold it for a specific time, then it won't work. but if you hold it too long then it won't look natural. for me, it's easy to get used to it so now i know how long i should hold it to get the result that i want. then the curl will hold all day without any problem.

i truly think that this one is a good investment. among the tools that i bought, i was very interested in this one. unfortunately, i can only try it when i was finally home since i have to charge it first before using it. anyway, after getting used to it, i always use this one and ditch my manual eyelash curler. unless i ran out battery, i don't use my manual eyelash curler anymore. i truly recommend this one if you have straight eyelash and can't seem to use regular curler to hold your eyelash longer. however, i don't think this type is available here, so if you see it, grab it. there's another type with battery, but i prefer the rechargeable one since it's more practical in my opinion. this is definitely a yes from me. i'm glad i'm able to get it.
