Estee Lauder Turbolash All Effects Mascara Review

Estee Lauder All Effects Motion Mascara 

I saw this mascara when I was in a spanish sephora over the summer and didn't really register what it was, all I saw was the word 'Mascara' on the box and I needed a new one so I just bought the item along with some other items and didn't really look at it fully until later back at the hotel when I opened the box and was perplexed to find a tube with a bit missing and a little gold disc sitting next to it in the box. So I did a little research on it and turns out it is a vibrating mascara. Yes vibrating. Slightly odd but a concept I was willing to work with. 

Turns out this is actually a pretty good mascara, I'm not sure about the whole vibrating and making your lashes longer thing but for me it makes my lashes look much thicker especially when I'm wearing another more lengthening mascara underneath. I found it to have very good staying power and it tends not to leave any fallout immediately after application however as the day wears on there is a small amount but this could be due to the fact that I wear contacts so my eyes sometimes water. The bristles are real brush bristles rather than a plastic comb type thing however the formula of this mascara is slightly dry so the brush does look a bit dried out  sometimes. It only is available in black as far as I can tell but it does look nice with any look that is being created whether it's very casual day makeup or a more dramatic evening look.  I always comment on smell because I feel it is a important factor when buying things you are going to put on your face, this smells like liquorice which I'm not a fan of but once again I don't notice it when it is applied.

Overall I would give this mascara 6/10, it does last all day with a nice thickening effect however the dry brush can sometimes get a bit clumpy and the whole vibrating thing is a bit of a gimmick if I'm honest. The price is £32.00 from boots and personally I think you can get much better mascaras at a drugstore prices. The overall impression you get is that it's ok but nothing truly spectacular. It does the job, even if you do get some funny looks on the train as your makeup vibrates in your hand ;)
