Would I Repurchase: Yes

POSITIVES:
- Nice, sleek packaging
- Applies dark and black
- Adds a lot of length and volume
- Holds a curl and doesn't make my lashes droop down
- No clumping, even with more than 1 coat
- Waterproof, so it stays on all day
- More affordable than other vibrating mascaras (ie: Lancome, Estee Lauder)

NEGATIVES:
- You have to keep your finger pressed down on the button for it to vibrate

OVERALL:
I was pleasantly surprised with this mascara. I wasn't sure if the whole "vibrating mascara" would actually work well and I wasn't willing to spend so much on the ones from Lancome and Estee Lauder. I'm more of a drugstore mascara girl since you have to toss them every 3 months anyway. I don't really have any major complaints. This mascara is one of my new favorites. It adds really nice length and volume. Most importantly, it holds a curl which is important for my stick straight lashes. I think the vibrating does make a little bit of a difference. I feel like the bristles grip my lashes better. I'd definitely recommend this mascara. The shade I'm using is "Very Black"

Whoa. I haven't seen this yet, but looks like it's worth the try! But why does it have "vibrating"... does it actually vibrate? hahaha! :] J/P or am I?

mszcheysser: yup, when you hold down the button the wand vibrates! not too much that you'll poke your eye out or anything though.

my_makeup_mania: i like the brush too, i'm thinking of trying define-a-lash since they have the same shape.

melissa: thanks! a lot of mascaras don't hold my curl so i was happy with this one.
