~ Product Hype #1 ~
After my disappointment with the expensive DIOR eyelash curlers (Read my review here), i decided to search for an alternative product that actually works. The first place that popped to my head was eBay where it is usually very easy to find cheap beauty products online, especially beauty tools. I searched for heated eyelash curlers and this product was one of the first ones that popped up. They were mostly from hong kong or china so i was kinda concerned with the quality of these, but i really wanted to try them out since learning that expensive products does not always guarantee that they will work efficiently...I ended up buying them for just £2.59 including shipping, which was crazy and just sounds too good to be true right? Well, it came to me quite quickly and the packaging although looks pretty flimsy and cheap, it had clear instructions on how to use it and look afte the product which i'm content with, seeing as it was only £2.59.
So the design was just a normal plasticky eyelash curler, but the pad can be heated up. The pad is heat sensitive, therefore when it is heated up properly and ready to use, it changes from a red colour to a clear colour, which i thought was very useful indeed. The simple mechanism was so easy to understand and all that was needed in a heated eyelash curler. I used it, and guess what? It worked like a dream! and i am not even exaggerating if i say that a few crimps, my short straight asian lashes immediately looked curled and viewable. It was so easy for me to achieve nice long lashes that can be seen after i applied a few coats of my mascara and i am definitely happy with this product. Perfect for short and sparse lashes, as well as stubborn straight lashes that are difficult to curl! Five Star product for a bargain. I purchased my eyelash curlers from HERE for £2.59~ check it out, and i think there are alternative colours to choose from too

~ Diorshow heat curl REVIEW ~
So the product claims to "stretch lashes to infinite dimensions" which sounds so tempting and almost too good to be true really compared with the conventional mechanical eyelash curlers. I was so excited to try it out when i got home. The box was quite big for accommodating the product itself and a part of me wondered whether it was necessary for it to be so large..Inside was a booklet of instructions with a variety of languages, a battery and the heated eyelash curler itself. The eyelash curler feels expensive and sturdy and i am pleased with the sleek black design of the product.
The product has two heat settings, (Heat + and Heat ++) which i really have no idea why it was necessary to have the two settings because surely most people would want the product to work to its full potential, hence will use the Heat ++ option more. It also has a clever mechanisms with the two dots at the back which should eventually turn to a green colour to indicate that it is ready to use. The product also boasts that it is safe and gentle to use on the lashes and can curl the lashes with ease.

So here is my experience with the Dior heat curl and what i thought about it:
First of all, i regret buying this product so much and i think it is such a waste of money for what it does-Which is nothing. Disappointed is not even enough to describe my thoughts about this product. It did not make any difference to my lashes, no curl, no change in the looks of my lashes, nothing at all. I do not know whether this is just the 'faulty' batch which some people have spoken about around the internet community, but whatever it is, i am planning to return this as soon as possible!
Firstly, the dots at the back of the wand did not turn green which it is supposed to do when it is ready to use. I tried both the settings and waited for up for 20 minutes, but no response at all. I was angry when i realised that it didn't seem to be functioning properly! But i thought that it could be forgiven if it did the job and the heat sensor was just faulty. The wand seems to be warm to touch and it seemed promising to give me the most amazing curls......I was wrong in so many ways. I tried using it like a mascara brushing through my lashes. I tried holding it at the base of my lashes for a good minute or two, but nothing seemed to change the form of my lashes. My lashes did not curl or do anything. I feel so cheated by this and feel utterly disappointed with this. At first, i would have forgiven the fact that the back green lights did not change colour, but discovering that it had hardly any effect on my lashes is just unforgivable, given how much i paid for the product. I may aswell have just stuck with the mechanical ones which at least gives 'some' results.
Overall, i do not recommend you guys to buy this product. I am not entirely sure whether it is just my heat curl i got which is faulty, or it is the general product itself. I am definitley going to return this product. I would include pictures of my lashes before and after, but technically they look identical that i don't even want to waste time comparing the minor changes to probably one lash or two. Angry, frustrated and disappointed with Dior on this product. Mega Thumbs down!
Has any of you guys tried this product? and if you have, did you get it to work ok?
