Maybelline has come out with the first vibrating drugstore mascara called Pulse Perfection, which comes in two colors: Blackest Black and Very Black. It's being offered exclusively online, for now, at four different places until it hits stores. Walmart has the cheapest price at $12.88, Target is offering it for $12.99, while both CVS and Walgreen's has it priced at $14.99.

I can see it now, we'll be bombarded by an influx of vibrating drugstore mascaras because I'm sure other brands will follow Maybelline. Although I haven't tried any vibrating mascaras - the department store brands are too pricey - I don't think I'll shell out $13-$15 dollars on a gimmick. Shoot, I can make my own vibrating mascara the ghetto way by vibrating my hand! LoL. And if a mascara gives me good results without the vibrations, then why would I need to succumb to a trend? I'd rather spend $14 dollars on my most favorite lash definer, Clinique High Impact, and avoid the tremors by my eyeballs.
Are you going to try it? I can't wait to read or see reviews about Pulse Perfection.
*UPDATE*
I just went to Walmart today (May 23) and saw this mascara for a little less than $12.88. So despite the email and the website saying it's only available online, it's not true!
Ooo.. Haven't heard about that yet..
ReplyDeleteI may, or wait til my mom gets it and try hers out first before I buy it.
ReplyDeletei never really got what the hype around vibrating mascaras are. i think it'd be like super easier to poke your eye out with this type of thing! LOL
ReplyDelete@Jasmin, it's the first time I've heard about it too =)
ReplyDelete@CHARLOTTE, hope your mom likes it! =)
@Jennnyy, LoL, I try to not poke my eye out with regular mascara! Haha. I think it just vibrates very subtly, though.
Interesting.. does it really "vibrate"? like is it battery operated or something?
ReplyDeletei actually saw it at CVS today.. passed on it though! but CVS is having B1G1 on all their Maybelline mascaras
