For heaven’s sake. I know we all crave long, lush lashes, but do we really need a vibrating mascara applicator wand?

And we still haven’t found a cure for cancer or a decent male birth control method.
Any Mascara Mavens out there care to comment on this phenomenon?
Hip Hip Vasectomy!
Seriously, I’m scared of the vibrating wand. I end up with mascara on my lids and cheeks often enough when it’s just my hands shaking.
Uhhh, no thanks.
I am not going to try it. I am true to my avon mascara.
I ran across the vibrating mascara in early fall, when I was using my upcoming wedding as an excuse to do make some serious experimental purchases in drugstore cosmetics. But the vibrating thing I refused to try.
I CAN report, however, that I found two absolutely amazing mascaras. The first is Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara by Maybelline. I picked it up after reading one of those product display posters that you see in the cosmetics section, that listed all Maybelline’s mascaras on a spectrum with “defining” on one end and “lengthening” on the other. Until seeing that poster, it had never dawned on me that my eyelash length is just fine, thank you, and that definition/volume is where I need the most help. Define-A-Lash was on the “definition” end, and so I tried it. It is fabulous–my lashes look a 1000 times fuller. It’s the first mascara I’ve ever used that I’m able to make look natural on my bottom lashes. For me, it’s way, way better than the Great Lash mascara I swore by for years, and even better than the Estee Lauder More Than Mascara that I used back in my yuppie days.
The other great mascara find was Bare Naturale mascara by Loreal, which was also very defining, but with a more natural feel, as the name implies. I use it when I want a subtler, “you think I’m not wearing makeup although in fact I am” look. I believe it was a bit pricier than the Maybelline, though.
Love the Bare Naturale mascara! I don’t wear mascara for day (I have been blessed with long, thick, black lashes) but when I want a little extra “oomph” for evening, the Bare Naturale is great! It darkens the tips without giving me raccoon eyes a few hours later.
Don’t think vibrating mascara is something I’ll try.
