Ebay Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

So I bought this eyelash curler off of an Ebay seller from Hong Kong for $1.30 CDN. Which is pretty good considering how drugstore curlers cost at least $7.00 CDN. I doubt this is really a shu uemura since those retail for $20 CDN.

Contents: One steel eyelash curler with silicon rubber pad and one replacement pad.

Packaging: came in a 4 x 2.5 x1.5 inch glossy white box with a photocopied looking picture of the eyelash curler.

There are two languages on the box, the side of the box has directions, features and warnings printed in English while the back of the box has Japanese on it.

It says it is developed and made in Japan. -questionable-

My Opinions: I initially bought this thinking that it would be better suited for my Asian eyes but I actually found that I like my Revlon curler better. But for the price it did do it's job and I don't have much to complain about.

Pros: 
-easy to reach the base of lashes
- did it's job of curling
- inexpensive

Cons:
- lashes end up doing a 90 degree bend very easily instead of a nice curl. 
-easy to pinch yourself if not careful
-silicon pad refill hard to find (if you know where to get refills then please tell me)

Overall Rating: A
Update: So I've gotten nine months of use out of the original rubber pad. Pretty good.
