Maybelline Pulse Perfection Mascara Review and GiveAway (closed)

So I've been out of commission for awhile, but sometimes, as you know, life happens. And life has been happening at my house! Kids taking turns not feeling well, getting ready for final exams, wrapping up end-of-the-year requirements with my 2 homeschoolers, 4 birthdays in one week, not to mention Mother's Day (hope yours was wonderful!), and all the usual things I'm supposed to keep up with. So, how was your week?



My week definitely improved when I received a new beauty product to try out which would add a little pampering to my crazy routine. It's Maybelline's New Pulse Perfection Mascara. I'm already a "Maybelline girl" as my mascara of choice for many years has been Maybelline's Great Lash mascara, you know, the one in the pink and green tube. So I was more than happy to try any new product put out by Maybelline.

What's so new about this one? And, what else could you possibly do to a mascara to regard it as 'new'? Add a vibrating wand, of course! There is a little button on the handle of the wand, and upon pressing it as you apply your mascara, the vibration technology is activated.

Coming from someone who holds their mascara like a 2-year-old holds an eating utensil, I had to re-learn the technique, err, coordination to apply mascara without poking my eye out! Actually, it wasn't so difficult. The subtle vibrations move through your lashes, separating as they go. For once, I was pretty 'clump-free'. All in all, it's a mascara that I not only really enjoy using, but love the results as well.

This is a product which hasn't even hit the stores yet, but I have a couple to give away to you! Again, I'll make it really simple. Just leave me a comment about what you like or don't like about the mascara you are currently using. I'll announce the 2 winners on May 18 in conjunction with Maybelline's one day preview sale before it officially hits the market in July. The winners will have 48 hrs. to respond and prizes not claimed will be donated. Thanks!
