All About the Eyes: Lancôme Ôscillation Powerbooster.

If you are either a lash primer devotee or want to plump up the volume a bit more in the lash department, Lancôme Ôscillation Powerbooster is for you.

Ôscillation Powerbooster is based on the same premise as Ôscillation Mascara as in it is also a vibrating wand, except the formula is that of a highly specialized lash primer.

Powerbooster the perfect first step in mascara application as lashes will gain from the formula as an immediate primer and reap the rewards of it's long-lasting formula.  This primer used the  Crescentia Complex coupled with the vibrations to massage the lashes, fortifying them, strengthening them, and boosts natural lash growth - all at the same time.

The vibrating primer enhances the appearance of lash thickness, density and length so that naturally occurring lash growth is more visible/noticeable.

You can use Ôscillation Powerbooster with any mascara, of course; but when used in conjunction with Ôscillation Mascara the results are pretty spectacular. It makes lashes extra long and full with just one application of each the primer and mascara. Use a few coats of each for a dramatic "those are surely not your real lashes" look.

Ôscillation Powerbooster. is available now online and at Lancôme counters nationwide, for $39.00

All About the Eyes: RIMMEL Sexy Curves Waterproof Mascara.

There are those times when we absolutely need to pull out all the stops at the beach or by the pool. You know, when you need to look extra "hot" without looking like you have tried too hard. Obviously, no ordinary waterproof mascara will do. Next time you are faced with such a fete, give this new mascara a try: RIMMEL Sexy Curves Waterproof Mascara.

Sexy Curves is just that. First it is waterproof. Next, it does not compromise in the volume or curl department. This formula plumps up the lashes with an effective, gentle, easy to remove formula, that stays put.

Check out the unique brush in the photo above. That hourglass shape. RIMMEL calls it their full-figured Triple Plump Brush - love it. Notice how it curves in to "capture" mascara for maximum lash loading and curving out. The brush uniquely helps to curl the lashes and de-clump at the same time.

I could tell you all about the fancy "aquatrap system" and how the formula is enriched with such great vitamins as B & E, but I won't bore you with the science. More important is the fact that this mascara works. It holds up all day, in and out of the pool and out on the boat where I tested it. I got splashed all day and not a smudge or smear was in sight. The only thing seen were really long, full, curvaceous lashes. I also noticed that it never felt hard or brittle at all and was easy to remove with my regular eye makeup remover (Bi-Facil).

Sexy Curves comes in the color Black only. It is readily available now for just $7.49 at chain drugstores and mass retailers nationwide.
