We'll be very honest here. Maybelline's Great Lash Mascara has always been our favorite. And apparently for the nation, because one tube of Great Lash is sold every 1.6 seconds in the United States. Wow!
But there are some new formulas on the block, and you'd be wise to dig a little deeper into your wallet to try the multi-talented/gadget mascaras.
Namely---Lancome's Oscillation Mascara ($34, at fine dept. stores).
Maybe a bit pricey, but this one's a must-have to add to your 2009 beauty bag. It's worth the cost.
Lancome makes great makeup. Period. And their mascaras have always been of exceptional quality. And yes, Dior, too, makes unstoppable long, thick lashes.
But this one is awesome!!! We got to finally sample the new Lancome PowerMascara. There was a huge waiting list of thousands.
What's so amazing?
7,000 oscillations per minute. A vibrating tube of mascara. Just one click of the button, and your stubborn eyelashes come alive!!
As lancome.com explains it:
With one easy new gesture, let the vibrating brush combined with an exquisitely smooth formula wrap every lash up to 360°.
- Instantly see a fascinating gaze: lashes appear ultimately extended, remarkably separated, and virtually multiplied in number.

We love mascara!!! And this one delivers!! And no, it doesn't shake like crazy. What it does, is boost your scrawny lashes, and builds big, amazing fringe around your eyes. For lower lashes, it's a bit trickier to manuever the PowerMascara wand. But the formula is superb.
Who are we to stop in the name of beauty technology? Best to get with it, and add this multi-talented mascara to your 2009 beauty bag. You'll be glad you did.
