Viva la Vibrator

Hey girls,
Clearly I've been quite lash-obsessed these days. I think it's because, when I have a tan, all I wear is gloss, blush, undereye concealer, and major, MAJOR mascara. I don't know, I just feel like everyone looks a zillion times sexier, oomphier, more rraaoor with out-to-there lashes. Don't you think? Even women traditionally deemed "unattractive," like, say, Eleanor Roosevelt...I think she would've benefited greatly by a couple of well-placed individuals at the outside corners. Yesterday, just in time for my lash obsession, Lancome invited a couple of key bloggers to witness the luanch of their newest mascara. Since five of the top ten bestselling department store mascaras are by Lancome, I was naturally titillated. Turns out, I had no idea what I was in for. Girls, Lancome has created the most groundbreaking, revolutionary mascara EVER to hit the market. It's the Iphone of mascaras. Lancome Oscillation ($34, but I'd pay twice as much) is a vibrating mascara that, with just a push of a button, provides 7,000 micro-oscillations per minute...while coating each lash up to 360 degrees. The point? Well, the oscillation action quite literally makes lashes look insanely extended, separated, and multiplied...think faux in a Diana/Twiggy way, not Cher/Tammy Faye. And because you're wielding so much lash-extending power in one mascara, you must throw your usually technique out the window. Instead of quick, short strokes, it's key that you apply Oscillation veerrry slooowwly. You hold the wand at the base of your lashes, and steadily run it through to the tips (no jiggling, obviously...it's jiggling already!). You can do this as many times as you want...without re-dipping! Lancome had models demonstrating the technique at the event, and we all sat there, transfixed, as we watched them literally stretching their lashes upwards and outwards in slow-motion. One of the girls was Asian with short, uber-straight lashes, and I swear, by the end of her application she looked ready to join the chorus of Cabaret. Totally amazing. Oh, and if you want even more length, you can go over just the tips the lashes, steadily pulling them upwards. And did I mention that this mascara has rendered the lash curler totally obsolete? That's right, THERE'S NO NEED TO CURL, whatsoever! The results are insane enough, on their own.

Here's the exciting part. Oscillation doesn't launch until the fall, but today--ONLY TODAY--it's being sold at select counters nationwide!!! I've listed all the cities and counters below. Good luck catching it before it sells out! Seriously, friends, this is the future of mascara. You heard it here, first.

xoxo,
Tia
