Because I have no use for mine. I had high hopes for Model Co’s Turbo Lashwand, which claims to be “the ultimate tool for creating truly dramatic, model-perfect lashes.”  Despite my apprehension about putting a HEATED DEVICE NEAR MY EYEBALLS, I did so willing in exchange for a potentially quick and amazing alternative to a traditional eyelash curler. You see, I have long, super-straight lashes, that, in the course of my life, I will spend approximately 300 hours crimping. That’s like two weeks I could’ve been sleeping, or in Tahiti. Unfortunately, the lashwand has two major set-backs. Number one: It’s straight, whereas my lash line (and presumably yours) is curved, making it impossible to curl the lashes in one fell swoop. I had to work my way around, holding the wand against each section for 30 seconds, which tripled the time. Number two: It didn’t work. Despite the heated coil in the wand, which BTW feels comfortably warm not dangerously hot, my lashes hardly budged. In the end, I resorted to my usual routine: blasting my trusty Shu Uemura curler with a shot of heat from my Bespoke Labs T3 Featherweight Dryer. It might not be fancy—or Tahiti—but it works.
