I guess I got what I paid for! I've been using the Tweezerman eyelash curler for almond shaped eyes, and I thought I'd try the Elf one as it was less expensive. It was terrible. A lot of cheaper eyelash curlers seem to assume that you have a round eye shape, and this one was no different. It didn't grip my lashes well and made little to no curl at all. It might work if you have round eyes, but otherwise, I'd get a better quality one.
