Vibrating Mascara

I use Estée Lauder products but only buy when they have the "extras" promotion. You know the free stuff you get if you spend $35, usually a cosmetic bag (of which I have 15), lipstick (of which I have about 20), some sort of wrinkle remover and face cream (still have wrinkles). 

But if you spend over $80 you can get even more, an enhancement pack. 
 
Yesterday, my total came to $76 to which the cosmetics lady asked if I wanted to spend just a tad more and get a lovely selection of three lipglosses.

OK (I am easily upsold). How about mascara.

She takes me to this display and pulls out a tube. Tells me to twist the top.
TurboLash

And the whole tube begins to vibrate. 


Now my dirty little mind is wondering, WTF is she trying to sell me when I said I wanted mascara. But my mind was absolutely wandering into vibrator world.


Imagine my surprise when she said it was mascara. Yup a tube of mascara that vibrates. I have no idea why or who thought up such a thing. I guess it must apply mascara to the lashes better. I just couldn't get past the vibrating stick.

So I picked out a non-vibrating tube, got my "freebies" and left the store. 

Now tell me. Has anyone ever used this vibrating mascara, called TurboLash, for the eyes? The reviews are quite positive.

Or is it just something else I'll poke my eye out with.

No, my mind only goes dirty places also. *cough* a friend of mine *cough* had a vibrating lipstick. Besides, I've put mascara on while waiting at a red light way too many times...the car makes it vibrate enough. Why would I need to add to the challenge of not poking my eye out?

I actually saw a cheap-o version of something like this a few years ago. Crazy that they're still doing it.

Have you tried it yet?

I think your mind went to the right place. Really? What else would be the point?

I'd poke my eye out...plain and simple.

I did because I was so fascinated! It was a one time thing though because I was just as happy with my cheap-o normal mascara. :)
