Vibrating Mascara’s are everywhere these days. From Estée Lauder’s (TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara – $32), Lancôme’s (Ôscillation – $34), to the all new Maybelline (Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara - $15).
The idea behind the Vibrating Mascara Wand is that the brush vibrates – moving rapidly – to create extra volume, length, curl and more. And, all you have to do is hold the brush at the base of your lashes and move it upwards in a slow motion. The vibrations of the wand, will then zig-zag it’s way through your lashes making them look fuller, longer and clump-free.
I just tried it this weekend and I have to say – that unfortunately – I wasn’t blown away. Let’s just say that I won’t be trading in my regular mascara for the vibrating wand anytime soon! :(
What ‘s your take? Have you tried it? Are you feeling the vibration?
And, don’t forget to Wake.up & Make.up!

I didn’t actually buy the vibrating mascara, but when I saw the ads and how it creates a zig zag motion, it kind of reminded me of Lauren Luke’s way of applying mascara (which really works well). So, I don’t think these vibrating ones are necessary either. Plus, honestly, it seems a little scary. I agree that the zig zag motion works wonders, but I prefer doing it manual style since I think it would be easier to tell if the lashes are well coated or not. For me, I’ll keep my regular mascara too. :D
