Lancome Oscillation Vibrating Infinite Power Mascara

Vibrating. Infinite. Powermascara The first vibrating Power mascara by Lancome: 7000 oscillations per minute. 
 Press the button and experience a breakthrough sensation in application. In 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.


A mascara that vibrates, it does look pretty cool~
You might think if this is just some techonology thing, or if it does work??
People with long and thick lashes, maybe this seems unnecessary.
But if you would like your lashes to be longer and thicker, this is a mascara you should try!
You no longer have to wiggle back and forth when applying the mascara.
Just put the vibrating mascara under the root of your lashes (of course, always better to curl first), let it thicken the root first and then brush in a straightward motion.
And your lashes will look long and thick and curled!
Even if you want to re-apply the mascara later, you could always use the same way (hold under the lashes) to apply a new coat! Other mascaras, once your lashes are dry, they're hard to re-apply.
You press the button, it will vibrate 7000 oscillations per minute, but once your finger leaves the button, it will stop. Very convenient~

A New Shape of Mascara

It's interesting to see mascaras can be transformed into globe shapes. But do they work well??

Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara

What it is:
A revolutionary new mascara designed to grip at lashes starting at the roots.

What it does:
Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara perfectly curls and separates lashes. It has a high-tech, patented round sphere at the tip of the precision wand that reaches every lash and adapts to all eye shapes. It's a Sephora exclusive.

What else you need to know:
The result? A beautifully fanned-out panoramic effect, holding the curve of your lashes perfectly in place.
Size: 0.24 oz

Three Colors: Black, Brown, and Grey and Lavander.

$28

The problems I heard about this mascara are it doesn't dry very well, sticky, and gets messy when using it for the lower eyelashes. But it does lengthen, volumize, and separates your eyelashes very well.


L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Explosion Mascara



$9

The problems of this mascara are pretty much the same as the Givenchy's, since they pretty much have the same shape. It gets messy when applying on the lower lashes, and somewhat it's tedious and it takes time when you have to apply on every lashes with the small ball. Also, there's no volume. The good thing is that it does lengthen your eyelashes as advertised, it won't get clumpy or flaky, and you can use it whatever angles you want.

Overall, I think L'Oreal's is better than Givenchy's comparing their two mascaras. The worse problem of Givenchy's is that it doesn't dry well. It can get pretty frustrating: imagine when the colors get all under your eyes creating big black eye circles. Plus, L'Oreal's is much cheaper, so at least it's a better deal.

Top 10 Makeup Mistakes



I think almost everyone has gone through makeup mistakes when they are new to makeups. I still remember in middle school there was a girl wearing solid green eyeshadow and drawing two round red blush circles on the chin. It's embarassing, and that's why you need to be aware of the top 10 makeup mistakes.

Top 9 Eyeshadows on the Market

1. Best Single Shadows: Prescriptives
These individual shadows run about $13 each & come in a variety of colors. They go on silky & smooth, tend not to clump & we love the shimmery jeweled tones.


2. Best Smoky Eye: NARS Night Breed Shadow
Smoky eyes are here to stay. For girls with dark hair & eyes, this dark color is exquisite. We hear this is the most popular brand in the Persian Gulf city of Dubai, where smoky eyes are super hot.


Runner-up: Cargo Smoky Eyeliner Duo in Budapest (about $28):


3. Best Grocery Store Shadow: Revlon Illuminance Eye Shadows
Don't want to splurge on $15 shadows? You can get great eye shadows in your grocery store. Revlon palettes are rich, glide on smoothly & have a staying power you won't see in other basic grocery store & drugstore brands.


Runner up: L'Oreal Wear Infinite Duos


4. Best Splurge Shadow: Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow
Posh to the extreme, Dior's bold shadows are rich, silky & made with such intense pigments, they seem to last forever. You'll love how they go on like velvet. Wear each shade alone, or combine 2, 3, or all 5 shades. Our favorite palette for spring & summer: Flower Blossom.


5. Best Everyday Eyeshadow: Lancome's Color Focus Eye Quads
Considered 'must-have' makeup by Harper's Bazaar, Lancome's Color Focus palettes come in a perfect palette of shades, from muted to bright, matte to pearl. Travel-size runs you $15, while full-size is $38.


Runner-up: Laura Mercier Eye Colour

*Deep Night

6. Best Cream Shadow: MAC 'Paints'
The secret to shadow that stays on all-night long: Cream shadows. We wear this under our shimmery powder shadows & the shadow never cakes in the creases (caused by oils). Buy at MAC stores or maccosmetics.com.


Runner up: Laura Mercier Eye Color in Titanium . We also love American Coffee.



7. Best Vibrant Shadows: Lancome Color Design
Strong eyes are in with the emphasis on jeweled colors: blues, purples & greens. The secret to their deep hues lies in the intense pigments. You'll find these shadows are super-silky & glibe & blend easily.

We love Lancome's new line of 43 shades in 5 finishes. Go for the pigment-packed 'Intense' shades (we love the purply 'trendy') & keep your color below your crease.



8. Best Shimmer Shadows: Clinique Color Surge Eyeshadow Super Shimmer
No shadow is sexier than the new glimmer ones. Glittery shadows have been all the rage since winter & show no signs of going away. We like this Clinique shadow, but almost every beauty brand has shimmery shadows. Whether you go for creams or powder, you'll love the incandescent glows these cast.


Runner-up: Smashbox Eye Shadow in Champagne.


9. Best Pink Shadow: Clarins Soft Cream Eye Colour in Sugar Pink
Pink shades are hot for spring & summer 2006 & compliment every skin shade. Our favorite is Clarins Soft Cream Eye Colour in Sugar Pink.

I carry this eyeshadow palette with me everywhere!


88 Matte Color Eye Shadow Makeup Palette



What I love about this palette, besides having 88 colors, is that it has this silky shine color that I really like! The colors are easy to put on and are very visible. Their glossy colors easily make your eyes pop and sharp~ Their eyeshadows won't make your eyes feel dry or uncomfortable.

I bought this eyeshadow palette on ebay just for $20 free shipping~ When you type in "eyeshadow" on ebay, you can see them everywhere! Somehow, they must be popular.

Especially when you're traveling, the palette is light and is easy to carry with. And you're able to match all the colors with your outfit~
