    I was really excited about this macara! On the plus side, it does make your lashes longer and more defined. The downsides are it is too clumpy, the vibration is really uncomfortable and sometimes makes your eyes water and it is pricey. It is only nice to use when you are going for the dramatic eye look but not pratical for everyday wear.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    After receiving the Pulse Perfection from Maybelline for the Product Review Club, I was excited at the possibility of finding something similar to the Lancome Oscilliation but with better pricing. The Oscilliation is great, but I don't believe it is worth the extra money to get the vibration going.

    I did two tests -
    1) Oscilliation on one eyelash vs. Pulse on the other
    The problem I find with the Pulse Perfection is that it doesn't volumize nor shape the eyelash enough. My eyelashes were much fuller and longer with the Oscilliation, whereas the Pulse provided a clean and nice separation but didn't add any shape nor length to the lashes. I wouldn't be reaching for the pulse if I am going out at night, as I tend to want a more dramatic & defined lashes.

    2) Pulse with vibration on one eyelash vs. Pulse without vibration on the other.
    There was absolutely no difference. I actually managed to get more volume out of the wand when I turned off the vibration. The brush itself is a nice shape that provides a great separation for my lashes. I've actually been using the product now in the morning to get a clean work look. (with the vibration turned off!!)

    Here's the deal... if you're already great at applying your mascara, then pass on this mascara. I found it didn't make a difference when I would apply one eye with the vibrations and one without. However, if you have a hard time getting a good application but you do have a steady hand, this mascara could probably help you out. Otherwise the vibrations don't make a real difference. Also, I found this mascara had a real problem with working if I curled my lashes before applying it.

    This mascara is pretty decent, but after trying it out, I found myself reaching for my go-to mascara, define-a-lash, again

    I thought this is the worst mascara I have EVER used! First off the application is very difficult. The vibrations caused the mascara to go all over my eye, making a difficult clean up. It was also very difficult to separate my lashes. This mascara just clumped them together! And it is not just me because I am very good at applying mascara and my friends will attest to this! The vibrations are also not very noticeable depending on where you hold the brush as your hand can muffle them quite a bit. All in all this mascara is very difficult to apply, doesn't separate lashes, a bit clumpy, and VERY fake looking. Only but this if you are going for the I have three really thick eyelashes look! NOT A GOOD PRODUCT!
