I admit I’ve never tried a lash primer before. I have long, thick lashes – the curly, tangly kind. I love mascara because it’s instant drama - but I never though about using a primer. Then came Lancôme’s Ôscillation Powerbooster, a primer with a vibrating wand: “Feel the vibration. See the growth.” It’s supposed to make your lashes “visibly stronger, fuller, longer day after day.” Even those with long lashes would want to try that, right?
So I decided to give it a whirl. I really like it! At first I was a little taken aback by the vibration, and I am pretty sure you have to hold down the button the entire time to make that work. However, it really did a great job at separating my lashes. When I put my regular mascara on over it, it didn’t get all clumpy and my lashes didn’t stick together. That alone is success!
Lancôme’s Ôscillation Powerbooster contains conditioners to fortify and strengthen lashes and boost the appearance of natural lash growth. It primes lashes, separating and defining your lashes, making mascara application easier. It helps your mascara last longer – mine definitely didn’t flake off, even after partying!

Eyelash primers are amazing and they help enhance the look of the eyes. I told a friend of mine to start using eyelash primers because she doesn’t like false eyelashes. And this is a great point for young ladies who don’t like fake lashes, if you want to lengthen your eyelashes products like the powerbooster can make a wonderful difference.
