    For a drugstore mascara, this was very expensive - almost comparable to a mid range department store one. The packaging was elegant enough, and the technology behind the vibrating action seemed promising.

    However, it ended up being a decent mascara that provided some length and volume that stood out - as long as the button was not turned on. When on, it was hard to work it without making a mess on skin or on my lashes. There was no attempting to try to get at the corners because of the risk of poking my eye out or smearing mascara somewhere that I did not want.

    If it was the same price as the other mascara without the mechanism, this would have been a good choice. As is, it was just not justifiable.

    I got Maybelline New York Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara at a major discount. I don't think I would have bought it for the regular price of $19.99. It takes some getting use to, I used it without the vibration for the longest time and even now when I don't have patience I don't use it. The mascara itself is really quit good. It will last the whole day no problem, without clumps. By the end of the day it does start to flake off but after over 25 years of using mascara I haven't found one that doesn't. I think Maybelline would be smart to make a video showing how to use this new vibrating technology properly. I think this is a good product, but I don't think enough was done to help consumers understand how to use it and it is probably not worth the regular retail price here in Canada. If it's on sale I do recommend trying it though.

    I wasn't a fan of this product for it didn't work very well and hardly made my lashes longer. It wasn't worth what I spent and was dissapointed with my purchase. I wouldn't recommend this product.

    I personally did not like this product at all. They make it look so technical by giving you the vibrating wand but there is not point to it. It does nothing to your mascara. I tried this out and my eyelashes turned out so clumpy and gross. Unless you want extremely chunky spider lashes, I would def. not recommend this.

    I was given a tube of this mascara to try and boy am I glad I didn't pay anything for it! When I removed the tab that prevents the wand from vibrating before the package is opened, the copper "switch" just about came with it. So I was not impressed right from the start.

    The mascara itself is nothing special. I will give it points for not clumping in the tube or on the wand--it's not a very thick formula. However, the mascara doesn't really do much. Try applying it without using the "power" option and it's a mascara that provides thin coverage and does nothing to enhance the volume of your lashes. It is slightly better at lengthening.

    The vibration option strikes me as nothing more than a gimmick. I tried applying the mascara with and without using the vibrating feature and didn't really see much difference. I didn't find that the vibration feature made a difference in how the mascara went on my lashes. In fact, half the time I don't use the vibration because it's more of a nuisance than a help.

    I certainly wouldn't pay more for a mascara because the wand vibrates. Overall this was a total disappointment.

    Used it for a couple of days, I thought the concept was interesting but I didn't find the vibrations to help much and also you had to hold down the button to make it vibrate so that was no good since your hands were sort of placed awkward....all in all nothing that my other non-vibrating mascaras can't do (much better i may add)

    Initially I thought this was going to be a great product due to the concept. However, there is a clumping factor that occurs. It thickens and lengthens but the price you pay is the time you spend separating your lashes afterward. It's also very pricey for a drugstore mascara.

    This mascara is super expensive for a drugstore brand! It retails for $19.99 CAD here. For that price, I can get a mascara from Clinique, UD, etc. It is not a bad mascara and certainly does give some length and darkness to the lashes. For that price though, there are a lot of other drugstore mascaras that does the same job for half the price. The wand is a bit awkward to use as you have to keep your finger constantly on the button to keep the vibrations going. One trick that I figured out in order to avoid the clumpy look that you can get with this mascara is to hold the brush to the base of your lashes first, THEN press on the button. It seems to be a lot more effective that way.

    I was excited to try this product because it's something different. I was disappointed by it though. I don't get what the point of the vibration button is; it doesn't do much.

    I don't like the wand it has, because typically those types of wands make my eyelashses clump together. There really is nothing special about this mascara and I wouldn't recommend it.

    Mascara is one of the only beauty products that I use on a daily basis, and I've tried dozens of different ones. This is the best one I've found for holding curl, but it does clump quite badly if you aren't really careful.

    What I do is I curl my eyelashes and immediately apply the mascara. Then once that coat has dried, I apply a different mascara (usually Sephora) over top of it. Then once it's dry, I go over it again with an eyelash curler. That seems to do the trick. I really like dramatic lashes that still look natural.

    Oh, and as for the vibrating feature? It's just a gimmick. I find that it's too rough on my sensitive eyes (especially on my lower lashes), and I just apply the mascara without using it.
