Lancôme's Ôscillation Vibrating Powermascara received a 2009 Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) Beauty Insider’s Choice Award in the Prestige Makeup Eye Product category. The CEW Beauty Insider’s Choice Awards are held each year and winners are determined by members who vote on the industry’s top products that have been deemed the most innovative in their cosmetic category.
Here it is on my eye:
About Ôscillation Powermascara
Ôscillation, the brand’s first vibrating mascara, is a battery-operated mascara that mimics and perfects the zig-zag motion many women and makeup artists use to apply mascara. The vibrations, or micro-oscillations as they are called, are barely perceptible when holding the wand and feel like a subtle massaging motion when held against the lashes. The wand produces 7,000 micro-oscillations per second. This buzz-worthy product generated waiting lists of over 30,000 beauty arbiters before its launch and remains a best-seller today.
To apply, hold the brush to your lashes and press the button on the wand to activate the oscillation action. The key to the perfect application is to move the brush in a straight, steady and slow manner. Repeat as necessary. Lancôme is the Number One luxury mascara brand worldwide. Ôscillation can be found at all Lancôme counters across the country and on lancome-usa.com. Suggested retail price is $34.
My take:
Oscillation mascara smells very similar to their Tendre mascara from years ago, which had some honey in it. It was made especially for sensitive eyes. I liked Oscillation right away because of the scent.
It looks and wears well, all day, without flaking or smudging.
Oscillation is addictive because of the sensation of the oscillation. I was initially afraid that I might poke my eye, but it's like getting an eyelash massage with fairy fingers. I'm sure I will replace this when the battery goes before the mascara does, but I will use up the mascara that is left in the wand too. I wish you could buy just the battery.
I give it a 5.
A less expensive alternative
Stiletto Mascara by Maybelline offers a less expensive alternative. It does not oscillate, but it has a similar look and feel.
How about you?
Have you worn this mascara?
