Beauty Closet, Lancôme Ôscillation Mascara

But I do not. I'm sorry, but ouch! No can do, for everyday, anyway. Evening, I'll consider it.

I wrote about this mascara on The Beauty Department blog* the day Lancôme previewed it (5,000 super-enthusiastic fans beat everyone else to the stores to purchase it that single day). I had watched a pair of models at Lancôme's HQ apply it themselves (no makeup artists! no computer enhancements! no special lighting!) and was amazed at the hugeness they were able to achieve.

In using it myself since, I have discovered much, foremost that practice makes perfect. Also, you don't wiggle the brush the way you do regular mascara. You'd think the vibrations would spatter mascara everywhere; no. Start at the base of the lashes, inching upward with a slowness that seems ridiculous.

But most important of all, more than any so-called "curling" formula, this truly renders the eyelash curler obsolete. Your jaw will drop.
