Maybelline New York Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara

I was REALLY excited to try this mascara because the vibrating brush seemed so different and offered such promise. I have a hard time coating all my lashes properly with a regular brush so I thought this would solve this issue.

However, this mascara CLUMPS sooo badly. It literally makes your eyelashes look like garbage.

After toying with it a few times I gave up because I rather have lighted loated lashes than lashes that look like huge clumpy spider legs.

I would definately not recommend this product, especially for the price!

My mom bought this and never used it so she gave it to me to try and it really is just the norm for mascara..like yes it's a lot cooler than regular mascara because it "vibrates" but it doesn't do much different then others I've had. It's quite expensive, so I would not recommend this.

I purcheased the more expensive brand from Dillards a few months ago. Figured Id buy this cheaper stuff to see the difference. I have to say....didnt see much of a difference well except the big price difference that is! I really like this stuff and it doesnt clump.

Yes, like everyone says in reviews, this mascara clumps like nobody's business. But do you know why I gave a 5 star rating? Because anyone who has short bottom lashes will know what a pain it is to try and apply mascara on bottom lashes to give our eyelashes a nice even look, and have the mascara smudge and spread. It is awful.
But with this mascara, all you need to do is place the wand on the bottom lashes, and press the vibrate button, take it off, and voila! You have wonderful mascara-coated bottom lashes. The wand is skinny enough to not get product on my eyes, and the clumpiness of the product is a good way to get defined bottom lashes.
This has become my HG.

Maybelline usually has some pretty good mascaras and this one is not bad, but not worth all that extra money. The vibrating is a gimmick. It doesn't separate lashes any better than regular brushes. I felt ripped off because I could have paid less for their less expensive, non-vibrating mascaras for the same results. The vibrating doesn't tickle me, but having to press the button to get it to work the whole time I'm applying mascara is a bit annoying (and you have to press pretty hard too...sometimes it doesn't work, and I don't know if there's maybe a special way of holding down the button).

I also find that it takes a bit longer to apply the mascara because you have to hold the brush so carefully while it vibrates, making sure you move slowly among the lashes.

This is probably the most ridiculous invention in mascara's history. You know how using a vibrating toothbrush tickles your nose? Well, for only $17.99 that feeling can be yours! On your EYEBALL!

The vibrations do absolutely nothing. Your eyelashes still come out as clumpy as ever, possibly worse. Even if the vibrations were beneficial in any way, the power is all in the handle and doesn't really reach the brush at all. This is probably because it would be a health and safety hazard if it did.

I was going to complain about how the on/off button needs to be held down the entire time it's in use, but you know what? The whole thing is crap, so it wouldn't make a difference.

If you've used Lancome's pricey version, Oscillation, then you'll probably love Maybelline's cheaper version. It's exactly the same except for the logo. Now, I really fell in love with Lancome's because of the faux lash effect it gave me. It had really good lift and volume plus did not smudge or smear. Maybelline's I found gave the same effect but the original and the waterproof version both smeared on me. Now, I know if you have oily skin waterproof mascara will still smear. But the few times I wore it, it wasn't hot but rainy and it still smeared underneath my eyes! I didn't even know until one of my co-workers asked me what the black stuff was under my eyes. very embarrassing! d

Love the effect it gave, the cheaper price, but I still prefer the Lancome formula better for the non-smudge factor. Those of you that don't smudge/smear won't have a problem with that though. :)

I have really long lashes, but made them look thicker... and was good for seperating the lashes. I would still recommend zigzaging with it though!! Maybelline is known for its mascara so maybe its not the mascara thats good but the company!!

I am obsessed with mascara, so I had to try this one out as soon as I saw commercials for it (especially because it vibrated)! Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. I knew I could not expect it to work as well as the commercials said but it really did not do anything for me. I tried it out on my natural lashes (without mascara) and it barely worked. It made my lashes clump a little and made them look thinner than when I am not wearing mascara.

However, this mascara does work well if you use it on top or with other mascaras. It can make your lashes a lot fuller and longer if you pair it with another mascara.

I tried this mascara a few times and the vibrating sensation went directly into the inside of my brain - it tickled so much, I couldn't handle it! I think it's still a quality mascara, it really plumps up your lashes and lengthens well, I just don't think it's worth the price.
