Don’t throw out your old fashioned mascara brushes just yet, but you may want to give one of the newer breed of brushes a try.

Cover Girl’s Lash Blast and Lancome’s High Definicil mascaras sport short, stubby plastic bristles that look futuristic and efficient, while MAC Plushlash and Dior DiorShow supersize things with extra large brush heads and very long bristles.
Bristles in Motion
Beyond easy changes to brush size and bristle shape, some companies are coming out with battery-powered wands with vibrating brush heads. look out, Harry Potter!
A few months ago, Spinlash ($15) released a powered wand with a spinning brush head (see it in action on Bellasugar’s blog), and because then several other lines have followed suit.

Estee Lauder’s vibrating Turbo Lash ($30) launched two weeks ago (currently sold out online), and Lancome’s much-hyped Oscillation Mascara ($34) arrives this November (but goes on early sale tomorrow for one day only).
An Irrational Fear
I’m careful about the products I’ll use around my eyes. If it emits heat, vibrates or drips (wax — so scary!), I keep it far, far away from my peepers. I can’t lie; I’m scared I’ll poke an eye out. maybe someday I’ll get over my clumsiness, but until then I’d rather avoid the inevitable 911 phone call (“Hello? I just poked my eye out with my vibrating mascara wand!”).
Despite my lack of coordination, Lancome’s Oscillation has already garnered rave reviews. The big charm guns at allure had very good things to say about it.
I haven’t gotten up the courage to wield it yet, but it is a highly anticipated product. once you’ve used it, please let me know what you think. just be careful you don’t poke your eye out.
Although its official launch isn’t until November, Lancome’s Oscillation Mascara will be available for purchase, one day only, on July 31. find it online and at select Lancome counters nationwide.

Crazy brush Heads
I haven’t gotten on board the vibrating brush head train yet, but I am completely down for mascara brushes with unusually shaped heads.
Two recently caught my eye.
Sally Hansen natural makeup lift and define Mascara
Check out the teeny bristles on the Sally Hansen lift and define Mascara brush. The bristles wrap around the head like a spiral staircase.
This brush does a terrific job of thoroughly finishing my lashes with mascara, but it’s not a terrific thickener. The tiny, dense bristles offer terrific separation, thoroughly covering my lashes from root to tip. It doesn’t have a very long head, which makes it easy to really get into corners.
I like the long and separated lashes I get using lift and Define, but I’d like it to deliver much more volume.
Price: $8
Use: To lengthen and separate lashes
Makeup and charm blog Rating: B
If you’re one of those lucky ladies with naturally thick lashes and only need your mascara to lengthen and separate, give lift and define a look.
Chanel Exceptionnel De Chanel intense volume and curl Mascara
Chanel’s newest mascara claims to create intense volume (yes!) and curl (yessss!). Fortunately, for the lash-challenged like moi, this baby lives up to the hype. One coat made my lashes amazingly thick, dark, long and full; two coats made me the envy of all fierce drag-queens in a ten-mile radius.
I suspect the results are due in part to the brush head, which includes two types of bristles. Rows of long, thin bristles alternate with short, densely packed ones. The long bristles separate and lengthen, while the short bristles add thickness.
Moving the brush head from the root to tip, you’re expected to gently rotate it outward. The idea is to have each row of bristles come in contact with the lashes. It’s completely like the low-tech cave girl version of a spinning brush head.
The results blew me away! but there’s always a catch. this time it’s theЦена (28 долара), а също така е и Hella. Получих малко по -добър с практиката, но никога не е станала лесна за използване. Възможно е просто да съм много тромав, но все пак имам битове и боби на талисмани на капаците си. Разбира се, те са лесни за почистване.
Интересна странична бележка: Установих, че е по -просто да се върти и използва четката, докато нанася продукта с най -добрата си ръка към лявото си око (най -добре съм ръка).
Цена: 28 долара
Използвайте: За удължаване, отделяне, извиване и добавяне на екстремен обем към миглите
Оценка на блога за грим и чар: a
Това не е талисманът, който бих получил, ако имах само пет минути, за да се подготвя за работа, защото отнема твърде много време, но ако имате време и пари, това е зашеметяващ.
Намерете Sally Hansen Natural Makeup Lift и дефинирайте талисмана в дрогериите и Ulta.com и Chanel Excluctnel de Chanel интензивен обем и Curl Mascara са достъпни в магазините на Nordstrom и онлайн.
Беше дълъг и уморителен ден за вашето момиче. Работата беше психически изтощителна и аз съм износен. Изглеждаше, че всяка задача, която изпълнявах два пъти по -дълго, колкото си мислех, че ще стане. Случва ли ви се някога това?

Надявам се денят ти да е минал добре. Сега завладяваме четвъртък!
