Maybelline Pulse Perfect Mascara Initial Review

Hello BB fans! Today I'll be discussing my initial response to the new Maybelline mascara, Pulse Perfect.

This is a decent everyday mascara if all you're looking for is definition. If you prefer big fat bold lashes you should probably pass on this one. The packaging is a black tube with gold writing. There is some assembly required which consists of removing a sticker to expose an electrode thingy.

The brush is a small rubberized brush with short bristles. The instructions say to place brush at base of lashes while vibrating and move slowly towards lash tip. The vibration takes a bit to get used to, but is not unpleasant. The vibrating action does cover the lashes quickly and completely, requiring few brush strokes. I applied 2 coats and achieved a nice everyday look. Nothing special, just meh.

I purchased the waterproof formula in very black in the hopes that it will hold a curl. I will update on how it wears through the day and the ease of removal.

It is pricey for a drug store mascara at $14.99 at CVS. There was a $2 coupon on the box which brought the price down to $12.99. We shall see if it is worth that price tag or just the price for the hype.

Stay tuned....

Keep smiling!!
