Would you put a vibrating stick cloaked in oily black paint within millimeters of your eyeball? ... is how the 8-year-old in me would respond. The adult part says, "Neat!"
Battery-powered mascaras promise to more evenly and thoroughly cover your eyelashes--and now there are two of them, Estée Lauder's TurboLash and Lancôme's Ôscillation. They both sound exactly the same, except one's $30 and the other's $34. Has anyone given these a whirl (a buzz, ha) yet? They've been selling out everywhere, and are, apparently, in the midst of a mascara war. It's kind of like the Iraq War.
Where's Maybelline in this? They should make a pink one, a la Great Lash (males, have you stopped reading yet?), and call it RoboQueen. Or LashBot. BuzzStick. Makeup Machine.

Is this like a discreet vibrator for the masses type thing. Like the "personal massagers" tucked away in K-Marts and such?

you know, i was just looking at a mascara ad and thinking mascara was about the most useless, let's-add-a-billion-pieces-of-plastic-to-the-environment-for-nothing product out there.
and then came this.
glad to see they've added toxic heavy metals and tiny moving parts to the equation. and we're expected to pay $30 bucks for the privilege.
firing squad! for inventors and users!
