My friend gave me this eyelash curler since I was in a desperate need for one. I think this one is okay. It pinches sometimes and it's hard to get the lashes towards the inner corner.

This was one of my first eyelash curlers I ever used. My MAC eyelash curler needed a new pad so I pulled this out from where it had been tucked away in a box with its refill pad and decided to give it another try. Well...needless to say I remembered why I had decided to buy another curler years ago. It does an alright job curling the lashes but it pinches and sometimes even pulls out lashes on the side becuase it is a bit too small for my eyes. The refill pad would not stay put either and the handles are just uncomfortable to hold. This time it is going in the trash. I bought another curler that I like better..the shiseido eyelash curler and MAC will be my backup when I get a chance to buy new pads for it.

I think I have had this curler for going on 20 years. What's really sad is I had no idea you needed to ever change the pads. I went on MUA reading reviews of Shisheido and Shu curlers because this one wasn't doing it for me all of a sudden. Then I realized I could just buy new pads, got them, and it works fine once again. I do not have major eyelash issues...just your average eyelashes. I actually thought this was a Revlon curler but I'm ashamed to say it's just your cheapo LaCross! I probably got it for 2.99 in 1987. Works fine.

It's horrible! I have stick straight eyelashes and this just doesn't do the job! It pinches and it's kind of hard to manipulate. I prefer Revlon eyelash curler from the drugstore products because it's very gentle and doesn't pinch my eyelids. I gave this La Cross one to my best friend because she claimed that she had liked it but her eyelashes don't even need a curler. The only positive thing about this product is that is comes with three extra pads so it will definitely last a long time but I would not buy this ever again nor recommend it to anyone with straight eyelashes.

Sorry, I don't remember where I got this curler or the price, but it's the only one I use. It works and curls, but I really don't like it. It pinches all the time. :( I can't wait to get a new one.

This lash curler bends my lashes as opposed to curling them and it pinches like crazy.

My lashes are thick and long, I just wanted to give them a bit of lift. I'm going to try something else.

This is the only eye lash curler I have ever used.
After reading reviews of other curlers I realized it's not "normal" for the curler to pinch your eyelids!
The la cross curler is a basic curler with a silicone pad. It creates a good curl, but does not reach all of my lashes.
I think it is the shape of my eyes (almond) but it always pinches me, so I barely use it. Or maybe it's just too small.
I am now hunting for another curler that won't pinch my lids, and will reach all of my lashes.

This is my all time favorite eyelash curler. It took me forever to find one that would actually curl my short straight lashes...and now that I have my eyelashes look awesome! I have no idea why this product has such a low rating :(.

Did not curl mine at all! Tried and tried again. Nothing! Got a $1 E.L.F. curler that does the job better. And ouch! it pinched mine too.

I've had my La Cross eyelash curler for about 8 to 10 years, since sometime in high school. Mine is a silver metal with a clear rubber grip pad, plus it came with an extra rubber pad. The pads are soft and flexible, not plastic. It did not come with any type of holder or case. I'm sure they don't make the same one anymore, but I haven't actually checked lately.

I'm pretty sure I bought this very cheap, but it has served me well. I just recently replaced the first rubber pad with the replacement one, but even that wasn't necessary, it wasn't worn out or anything. The curler still works well, it hasn't broken or warped in any way. I think it has performed well. On my right eye I can use it perfectly, but for some reason on my left eye I tend to pinch (I squeeze very gently at first, and only squeeze all the way if I feel no pinch. So I've never hurt myself) and I can never get the outside few lashes. I'm curious to try somethine else (have my eye on the Shu Uemura), but I think this is a pretty good little tool considering how little it must've cost (can't remember, but I was in like grade 10, must've been like 5 bucks). It's definitely the oldest makeup tool I own, and I'm fond of it.

I am surprised by the low ratings on this! I have had this eyelash curler for a while now and have had good results. I curl my lashes for 10 seconds before applying my mascara and the results are great- the curl holds very a pretty long time. I also bought cheap rubber eyelash curler replacements (the white things that go into your eye lash curler). I found them to work just fine- I would def. buy this product again. It has held up very well.

Wow, this kinda isnt that great. I have small asian eyes, and when I say small, I mean small. When I first opened the package, I liked how the refills were in a separate case. Great. Then when I opened the curler itself, the rubber thing already there popped out. And there was this HUGE indentation from the top part of the curler.
Whatever, bad packaging.
So when I held it up to my eye, it was impossibly huge compared to my small eye. wtf? No. So anywayyy, I tried and I grasped the middle, and it made this L shaped thing there. T.T I mean I couldnt get the base b/c the thing was just too big. If you had larger eyes and longer lashes, it would work better I guess. It also doesn't get the corner lashes. Kinda sucks.
Its my backup now, will have to get another one.

I've had this for years and it's just horrible. I hardly ever curled my lashes due to lack of good results yet I never thought about replacing this until recently. I'm Asian with fairly big eyes and this pinches my eyes a lot. It also doesn't grab any inner or outer lash hairs. If you notice, the pad isn't rounded either so this tends to give more of a crimped looking curl instead of a natural looking curved curl. I guess this would probably work better if your eyes are more rounded and your lashes are longer and easier to curl. I don't think it's my technique that is off because I recently bought a Shiseido curler and it works so much better. I actually curl my lashes almost every day now. I would never repurchase this again, not even for the low price and availability at the drugstores.

This is a very inexpensive, and perfectly wonderful eyelash curler. I use it everyday OVER mascara. Your eyelashes won't "fall" if you do this, girls:) And if you do it right ("pump" the curler for 10 seconds on your lashes) you will get terrific results. But I also use it without mascara, and find it makes my lashes look wonderful. I have dark, thick, but straight lashes. I'll use it sans mascara on weekends when I want a softer look. Works great.

This eyelash curler is not what it looks like, an odd shaped curler. This curler works magic. It really curled my lashes and my lashes also stayed curled throughout the day. I probably had to curl my lashes twice throughout the day.

I love this-it works just as well, if not better than my Shiseido. It's also a fraction of the price, so that doesn't hurt. I really suggest trying this before you splurge for a higher end curler, b/c had I done that, I would have probably never gotten my Shiseido one.

my first eyelash curler...bought it at cvs for pretty cheap. its....okay. i have asian eyes but slightly longer eyelashes than average, so when i curled it, it seemed to work fine. nothing impressive though, and lashes fall after an hour. and for some reason, it wont work on my left eye..but for my right eye it does its job.

I love this curler. It does the job for me, doesn't pinch, and curls my lashes very nicely. I press it once at the base of the lashes, wait 10 seconds, then move it out a bit and press again for 5 seconds. I do occasionally get one or two kinked lashes at the end of my eye, but it's easily fixed and most likely because I just wasn't holding it at the correct angle. Overall, is super cheap, and the silicone pad is fantastic.

Sucks, Sucks, Sucks.... This product is terrible and I think I may know why... La Cross has decided to go cheap with round cushion piece(on the bottom part of eyelash curlers) which gives to pressure when you squeeze, creating a curve. They are using something that resembles plastic instead of rubber so when you squeeze their is only resistance which = NO CURLE

I will never buy this product again.
