Pulse Perfection

If you are a beauty junkie or even not (but you probably are if your reading this), you've probably seen the Ads for Maybelline's Pulse Perfection - the mascara, whose wand vibrates during application. Well I went on a late night Halloween Candy spree to CVS last night, and you know what happens once you pass the threshold of a vast 24 hour drug store....you suddenly realize there's a lack of toiletries in your life and you need to buy a million things.
I entertained the idea of sampling the mascara when it first came out, but became weary. Vibrating razors make sense since they get a closer shave, vibrating facial cleanser machines get the grime out of your skin, vibrating toothbrushes also do a better job a cleaning.
What task can the mascara accomplish other then vibrating so much that I accidentally apply it to my eye brow?  Too excited about my Twizzlers and Jolly Rancher feast that was about to take place, I couldn't think straight... snapped...and purchased the mascara.



I'm not impressed and wish I purchased a few packs of Skittles instead. The brush is really thin for the purpose of not clumping. I like a thick brush. In order to access the benefit of the vibration, you have to hold down the button the entire time. It would be better with an on/off option. It straightened the curl from my lash curler, which is the complete opposite effect that any girl wants...WTF?!!! I would only suggest using this in case of an emergency when it's the only mascara around and you need a quick coat stat.
