I had to try it, a vibrating Mascara, how cool is that?! Given that it is supposed to be the best Mascara on the market, hey, why should the price matter, it’s a minor detail really.  Well it’s not so minor when what you have bought turns out to be a big disappointment.

I love new gadgets and I was really excited about trying the Lancome Oscillating Mascara, they claim that with the vibrating brush and the smooth formula that it wraps every lash up to 360 degrees.  You are supposed to see a fascinating gaze as lashes are to appear extended, really?  The only thing I saw extended was my overdraft after what I had paid for it and as for the fascinating gaze to be fair it was more of a ‘oh stink, this is a mess gaze’, followed by the ‘oh, this was a dumb buy gaze’. 

Now they do say that the formula is one that you can layer until you get as much as you need on the lash, and yes this is true, you can do that, so that is one good point about it.  But what I will say is that this isn’t a huge amount of use as it seems to keep going on in the middle of my lash and not on the tips where I really needed it.

I did however discover that if you apply a coat without using the Oscillating button it was a bit better, but really that kind of defeats the purpose now doesn’t it.  I really don’t think I have ever made such a damn mess of putting my Mascara on and you would think that I was new to this.

What I do think is that maybe after some time you may get the hang of how to use this Mascara and should you find anywhere in the instruction manual on how to drive it, you may find that helps.  It’s is all just too hard for me because it requires you to take lots of time and accuracy to get it right.  Personally I haven’t got the time to spend working this out and just want to put my Mascara on and go about my day.

This is of course at great sacrifice to myself telling you this as no doubt once my husband  reads this, there wont be any ‘fascinating gaze’, just the the you wasted money frown.
