Eyelash curler advice, please...

Jesthar

I currently have a pair of Revlon eyelash curlers, and the foam pad in them has split. It did come with some replacement pads, but do you think I can find the remaining ones?

I also can't seem to find any replacement ones anywhere in either the high street or online - annoying! So, two questions:

1. Will replacement pads from another brand fit? If so, any recommendations, as I think I understand that not all pads are created equal?

2. If I can't get replacement pads, it's new curler time. My only real criteria are I don't want heated ones, and being able to get replacement pads is essential! If I have to go this route, I will be regarding it as an investment, but I don't want to pay over a tenner unless it is really worth it.

Thanks!

You could always trim them. Then wouldn't be an issue.

I've made a small 'roll' of tissue and wedged in into my eyelash curlers when the foam split and it's been working perfectly for months. Very MSE indeed!

Any refill should fit - usually superdrug etc sell them

If you want a new set, the absolute best is Shu Uemura - when you've used these you'll never look back.

Best budget set are Cosmopolitan

Thanks, Debs. Finding any kind of refill seems to be 'interesting' on the high street these days! :rotfl:

I have had a look at Shu Uemura, but they don't seem to do replacement pads? For that amount of money, I don't want to have to keep buying more pairs just because the pad has worn out - not very MSE! :eek:

Might try the tissue paper trick, see how that goes - thanks joyfull

More ideas welcome!

If you want cheap curlers that work well try Wilkinsons they are only £1 a pair. I can recommend them. They come with one spare pad as well.

You can get the Shu replacement pads on e-bay

I second Shu Uemura, I've had 2 pairs which each came with a spare pad, and between them, those 2 pairs have lasted me over 3 years. Much, much better than any others I've tried.

You can get eyelash curlers from Poundland too.

I have a few eyelash curlers - I bought a No7 pair from boots and they were rubbish! The best ones I have found are just plain asda ones from thier make up range.

I really like the sound of the Shu Umera ones...may have to buy a pair.
