Maybelline Pulse Perfection Vibration Mascara.

First of all I have to admit that I bought this mascara because of the vibrating wand. If it didn't have this function I wouldn't have looked at it twice. It isn't a mascara with flashy packaging but just a black tube with gold text on it so it is easy to pass by and not notice. There is a button on the wand part that you press down and the wand starts to vibrate. You have to keep it pressed down because as soon as you let go the vibration stops.

I have been wearing this mascara for some time now and it has been featured in a few of my EOTDs. I do have some issues with this mascara. The first thing is the vibrating wand. I can't speak for other vibrating mascaras since this is the only one that I have tried, but in this case the vibrating wand is rather useless. It tickles but that is about everything that it does. I can't see any difference between applying the mascara with vibration and the normal way.

The Pulse Perfection Vibration Mascara does lengthen the lashes and gives them a intense black color. But there is something in the way that it applies that bothers me. It is hard to specify but I think it is the way it sort of glues the lashes together, almost like a "spider leg effect" but not quite that bad. It doesn't look natural and I have to comb through the lashes to get a natural looking result.

The staying power is good but not excellent. After a long day of work you can see some fall out. It doesn't smudge but there are some black "grains" gathering under the eye.
I have take a picture after about 12 hours wear and a long work day to demonstrate the staying power and the fallout.


Do I recommend this mascara? If you are curious and want to try a vibrating mascara, the answer is yes. But this is an average mascara at its best so if you are looking for a new mascara that will give you long and natural looking lashes and with excellent staying power, the answer is simply no.

Will I buy this again? No I won't because there are far better mascaras out there and the vibrating wand isn't enough for me to like this mascara. It is a fun product and it tickles but that is all there is.


I bought this product with my own money and it is my own opinion.
