Women have been holding a blow dryer on their eyelash curler to "heat" the metal before manually curling their eyelashes for decades - so several cosmetics companies decided to cash in on the concept and produce heated eyelash curlers! The opinions are mixed, I've read 100s and its a 50/50 split on whether buying a pre-heated element is better than just warming up your traditional curler.
So I break it down for you:
Traditional Eyelash Curler:
Heated Eyelash Curler:
I've ignored the product for quite some time, mostly because my stubbornly straight lashes refuse to conform, so when I really need bold lashes I use eyelash extensions (which are perfectly curled). But now that Dior has come out with a heated curler, I am very tempted to try it!
Diorshow is one of the best selling mascara lines, so it goes without saying that there will be a cult following of this curler as well.
What you need to know:
-Retails for $25 at Sephora
-Can be used on 'naked' lashes and/or after mascara is applied
-Takes up to 2 minutes to fully heat up!
-Has two selections to control the amount of curl
-Comes with cleaning brush
To purchase:

How the price compares to others:
Panasonic (which uses a heat pad instead of heated brush) retails for $20
Japonesque (best knows for their beauty tools, sold at Ulta) $12
ModelCo $50
So, will you be splurging on this new beauty tool?
I must admit, I like my heated eyelash curler. It works a treat.
