Maybelline New York Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara

This mascara is not what I expected. The vibration doesn't really make any difference to the appearance of your lashes and trying to hold the button while brushing isn't the easiest thing to do! I would definately not purchase this. Better luck next time!

I simply LOVED this mascara! I have never tried anything like it and this stuff is really one of a kind!
I have never tried a vibrating mascara before but know I know I will never go back!

Application: Absolutely ZERO clumps when it comes to this mascara, I had no problems with it at all. It went on really smooth. The vibrations really helped when it came to applying it and made it a lot easier to put on without that risk of missing your eyelash and getting your eyelid instead.

Look: Gorgeous!! It made my eyelashes pop like nothing has ever before. Perfectly spaced eyelashes! Best length I have ever achieved with a mascara! Also really nice volume to it as well. I have never seen a mascara work so well for me before.

Suggestions: The one thing I found that I didn't like about this mascara was that it seemed to be a little more wet than other ones I have used. I've been having a bit of problems applying it and then blinking and finding that it is still wet and gets on my cheeks. So, I would recommend trying not to blink right away!
Also, if you have never tried a vibrating mascara before, I would recommend not going to the base of your eyelashes right away because it's really easy to poke yourself in the eye, I learned the hard way ladies! lol.

I would recommend this stuff to everyone, I think it's an overall great mascara for a spiced up day look or a dressy evening look! It's now my ultimate favorite mascara.

There are 2 reasons why I hadn't jumped on the vibrating mascaras' bandwagon: 1) it seemed like all hype to me - a marketing gimmick, and 2) I doubt that it would eclipse my ultimate go-to mascara Diorshow.
After receiving the Pulse Perfection from Maybelline for the Product Review Club, I found this product confirmed my first 2 apprehensions towards vibrating mascaras. I just don't get the point of having a mascara wand pulsing while I apply it - are we really so lazy we can't zigzag the wand ourselves? I found the technology was utterly useless in delivering 'extra-special' lashes - which I would expect from a drugstore brand mascara that costs $19 CAN. Sure it's not as expensive as other vibrating mascaras (which I haven't used) but at that price I expect it to do more than just give me a 'natural' look. I like my lashes voluminous with a noticeable increase in length in comparison to my normally skimpy lashes, but the only noticeable difference seemed to be slightly darker lashes (although my lashes are already black to begin with), slight clumping with negligible lengthening. If you want a natural look I suggest using much cheaper mascaras that work alot better than this one. Overall I find this just doesn't deliver. I don't mind spending a bit more for mascara, but if I do, it better be amazing, and trust me, this does not come even close to Diorshow.

Ready. Set. Captivate.

Great daytime mascara... seemed a bit gimmicky at first but this has become my standby mascara for the day. Habits are hard to break so getting used to using this mascara will be hard at first. I would probably buy this again.. unless something more interesting comes out.

THE REAL SCOOP

There are only so many iterations and technological advances in the mascara/wand combination, so a new gimmick was introduced in the market within the past year: vibrating mascaras. Within the past year, we have seen Estée Lauder release TurboLash, followed shortly by Lancôme launch of Ôscillation and more recently, Prescriptives came out with Motor-Eyes.

This Maybelline product takes the innovation from these brands and brings it to a mass market drug store price point, and the end result is competitive enough against these other products that it is an intriguing buy. Although many will balk at the $15 price point for a Maybelline mascara, this is quite a bit less than the department store brands and perhaps a worthy foray into realm of the vibrating mascaras.

This product does not add a lot of outstanding volume or length, but it does a good job in creating natural enhancements to your lashes for a daytime look. WIth the new vibrating technology, if you follow the directions for "best results" (ie move slowly, resist the urge to wiggle the wand and let the vibrations do the job for you) you will be able to achieve a "double coat" look in a relatively short period of time during your first go.

This is definitely a product for a natural day look. For myself, with my skimpy lashes I need a bit more to add "oomph" to my eyes. There are a lot of products out there that can accomplish the same results that this mascara can, for the same or less money, however it does save a marginal bit of time for those who are in a rush and can't wait to do the second or third coat.

I got this product through the review club and really enjoyed the mascara.

To give you some background on my lashes, they are very sparse and short so I need all the help I can get! I generally find "cheaper" mascaras to flake and not last through the day, not to mention not excentuate my lashes. My usual mascara is $25 plus so a less expensive mascara would be a great alternative.

I really liked the vibrating feature so I didn't have to wiggle the wand manually. This made application quicker. I could get 2 coats on back to back and without a mess. My lashes looked longer and thicker. No flaking evey after being out all day. I guess one feature I would have loved for this mascara would be for it to also curl my lashes but I guess it can't do everything so using a curler beforehand opens my eyes up nicely.

I will continue to use this mascara and definitely will consider purchasing it in the future.

I was a bit disappointed with this product as I had expected more from it. I"m not sure how much help the vibration does as it does not seem to work as effectively as the regular ones I have. It did lengthen but not to any out of ordinary length that a regular mascara wouldn't be able to achieve. It also does provide thickness although the thickness made it clumped up easily. Overall, I have used better ones.

I was very skeptical about this mascara. Really, does my mascara wand need to vibrate to be effective? I've tried vibrating razors before and wasn't impressed.

The product itself is a bit finicky to use. The button to start it up is at the end of the wand which is an ackward place to hold it. And you need to hold the button down while applying the mascara.

I've been using this mascara for about a week and it does make my eyelashes look great. No real clumping, very long. Goes on very smooth. I have noticed that it flakes off a bit by the end of the day, but that's after working 8 hours than being at the gym for an hour.

I'm not sure if it's the mascara formula, or the vibrating wand but this is definlently a decent mascara. I probably wouldn't pay the extra price (close to $20) for it though.

Thanks chickadvisor for this product!
I'm somewhat of a mascara conoseur! I always enjoy buying the newest mascaras to hit the market. So I've tried a lot of them.

This pulsing mascara was the first one i'd tried with a battery! At first I was kind of intimidated, but seriously the application was EASY! I have to admit I did poke my eye for the first 2 times I used it. I would definately recommend this to a friend, because it is just as simple to apply(if not easier) than the traditional mascaras

My eyelashed looked pretty good. I got some length, some volume. It was a good all around mascara for me. It didnt really make me go WOW or anything, but its a good product, and works just as well as any other mascara.
