Hello everybody!
I hope you are all doing fine and you are having a great time this summer. I am going away for some bussiness for the next 2 weeks, so I figured I should do an interesting review for you before I go. Today I am gonna review Koji Eyelash Curler and I am gonna talk to you about eyelash curlers in general: from the way they are used to the necessity of having one yourself.
After my last eyelash curler broke 3 years ago, I convinced myself that I didn't need a new one. I guess that was mostly cause I believe eyelash curlers are quite pricey. Of course you are gonna buy something good and long lasting with the money they ask, but I still believe you don't have to pay too much to get the desired effect. So, I survived 3 years without an eyelash curler, until my friend, Internet, showed me some cool stuff >:] Browsing through pages, I decided to search on ebay for any cheap (but good) eyelash curlers. I came across Koji, and I immediately searched for some reviews. And although the opinions differ a lot in any case, I saw that most of the girls who have bought it though it was better than those of Shu Uemura or Shiseido etc. The price of Koji eyelash curler was half the price (if not more) of those curlers mentioned above and since there was nothing bad about it, I thought I should give it a try.
I bought mine from Ebay for 7$ (~5.50euros). The difficult part was to decide which number to get. Yes, it comes out in numbers. There is no. 70, 71 and 73 (if I am not mistaken) in the usual curler format we all know. There are certain variations of it, for bottom lashes, one that has a different shape, one that you can "brake" and pack in a different way, but overall these three numbers up there are the usual eyelash curlers you know, but each has a different size. That means 70 is for smaller eyes, and 73 for bigger. To be accurate, no.73 is 34mm wide. It is made out of good material, it feels nice on my hand, not cheap at all and as far as I know, Koji is a well known brand even out of Japan nowadays, so I don't think you should worry. The pad it has is black and it is fluffy enough so I never felt insecure that it will cut my lashes suddenly if I put more pressure on the curler. It also comes with a second pad refill, in case you lose or destroy the first one :). It makes my lashes incredibly curly even with the minimum pressure and overall I am really happy with this particular purchase.
Now, onto some questions I always had before I buy this curler and no review ever answered for me:
-- Is Koji suitable for caucasian eyes?
Koji is a japanese brand, that automatically means that the curlers are made for asian eyes mostly. BUT, don't get discouraged. My eyes are far from asian, in fact they are very round and quite big, with spacious eyelid and long (but straight) eyelashes. I can ensure you that no.73 is really more than ok if you happen to have somewhat the same eyeshape with me. If you have smaller eyes, you should consider bying one of the smaller numbers. Now, something important. It may or may not pinch accidentally your eyelid sometimes. But I don't think this is the curlers fault, sometimes our eyelids are a bit swollen, or our hands clumsy and blabla. It happened to me before, with other curlers as well so I would say go for it!
-- Do I really need an eyelash curler?
Weeeeeell, that depends. Some people are lucky and they already have curly lashes like my sister. In that case you don't need a curler (and I offcicially hate you :P ). There are also some people whose lashes are not curly, but with two coats of mascara they are able to give curls to their lashes because their lashes are obedient. In that case, you decide if you really need one. There are, also, these people like me who have nice long lashes, but they are straight as sticks. In that case you DEFINITELY need an eyelash curler. Even if you use fake lashes, you are definitelly gonna need a curler to set a slight curl before applying the falshies. Otherwise it is gonna look strange and the lashes won't merge properly with the falshies. Remember, the curlers don't give any volume, they set the curl so the lashes can stand out from the rest of the lashline. If you have sparse eyelashes you will need falshies or more coats of mascara and some tightlining.
So, I think these conclude my (hopefully) in depth review for the eyelash curlers. I hope I have covered everything, but still if you have any questions, do not hesitate to leave a comment down below. Have a great Summer, and I will see you all soon ^___^

My lashes are naturally curly so I just have a cheap curler for the few times I need something extra. But since this one is quite cheap I'll consider buying it because mine is not the best quality possible
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky T_T. Try to avoid bad quality eyelash curlers, you could end up with choped lashes like some of my friends @_@
