This mascara was exactly what I expected, the pulse did help distribute the mascara to my finer shorter lashes. I expected it to be louder than it was and I was pleasantly surprised that you really couldn't hear it while it was on. As some of the other reviewers, it did take practice to hold down the button and apply the mascara at the same time but it was nothing that I could not handle. Perhaps they could make a setting where the button holds down automatically if you press it twice or something to alleviate this problem. Otherwise though this product works well and I would buy it again.

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.

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.

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.

I’ll admit it. I married my husband because of his long, curly, luscious lashes. If I couldn’t have them, well at least one day my kids might. I’m mostly kidding, but as destiny would have it, I’m the only one in the household without a decent pair of eyelashes.

So you’ve got this woman who’s been blessed with spindly eyelashes resembling stubby spider legs that have been flat-ironed … and she’s given the opportunity to try out a new mascara. Can you say jump, and how high?

We’re talking about the Maybelline: New York Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara. Yes, VIBRATING!

I don’t wear mascara on a daily basis, usually just keeping it for special occasions. This stems from my contact lens wearing days, when I found most mascaras irritating. But now that I wear my glasses most of the time, and I’ve been told that my eyes are my best feature, it’s probably about time that I wore mascara for more definition. I’ve tried several in the past; and heck, I even own a battery operated eye-lash curling iron.

So I gave it a try. There’s a little tab where you hold the wand that once depressed, sends the wand vibrating. Putting it at the base of my lashes, and not moving it along too quickly to the tips, I did notice it clumped a bit. Likely because I was moving it too slowly. So I picked up the pace a bit, and was pleasantly surprised at how it lengthened and did make the lashes thicker, curling them at the end a bit as well.

The trick is not to apply too many coats, as the vibrating action surrounds your whole lash. But also don’t go too slowly as this causes clumps. The instructions on the packaging are quite good. It is really quite simple to use, and I especially noticed the difference on my lower lashes, which I find the most difficult or application to begin with. They were easily handled by this product. And although this wasn’t a waterproof product, it was quite long-lasting. For that reason, it took a little more makeup remover to take off at the end of the day.

So overall I did like this mascara. The vibrating wand may seem a bit gimmicky, but it does appear to work on building up the lash. I would likely buy it again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others to try.

I have lusted over the pricier versions of vibrating mascara for months, and prepared to shell out the money. I actually squealed when I found Pulse Perfection. Even without the vibration, it's a great mascara for dramatic lashes. The pulsing adds to the effect and adds some novelty, too! I would definitely get the Very Black next time, because the Blackest Black is probably too intense for daytime. Overall, this is a great alternative to Lancome and other department store brands.

I got this through the product review with Chick Advisor (awesome!)

I'd say it's definately worth the money if you're in to trying new neat technology.
I was a little afraid at first to try it, but once I got the hang of it, it actually wasn't so bad! It's easy to use, and like other mascaras, it had some clumps for me. I still might prefer using my own hand zig-zag movements to apply mascara, but maybe I still need some more time to test out this vibrating one.

I'll keep everyone posted in my experiment!

I like the idea of not having to "zig-zag" my own mascara wand to get that full lash look. What I like about this mascara is it's soo QUICK to apply. I can get my mascara on in half the time it usually takes! I also only have to apply a few coats, as the wand does all of the work for you.

I would say that the volume/lengthening is pretty good as well.

What I did not like:
The vibrating sensation against your eye balls can freak some people out. it feels weird, and the first few times it will definitely make your eyes water - which may smudge the mascara.

Honestly I do prefer traditional mascara to this one, I like being able to build up the fullness on my own; as there are other ones that that are less expensive and give better results. Still, this is great if you are in a rush or always on the go.

This is my new favourite mascara! At first I started to wiggle then remembered the whole point of this mascara. hahaha oh habits. The vibrating brush did and amazing job. It coated every single lash perfectly. I didn't even feel the need to go back over too much (and I usually do quite a bit). I showed my boyfriend and he said my lashes looked really good, better than most mascaras I've used. It made my lashes really long, as long as or longer than lash stileto and did hold curl (I always curl them before applying mascara so I can't judge on how well it curls on its own). I think the result did look very much like lash stileto only better because they were longer and not so fine looking, was a bit thicker. Oh and one thing I really like in a mascara that this offered was getting those little lashes in the inner corners of your eye. The vibrating wasn't too loud or scary either it was just neat. I am definately repurchasing!
