Motorized Mascara

Last November, Mary wrote a post about the most ridiculous purchase she had made in quite some time. The Lancome saleswoman convinced her that she absolutely had to have "motorized mascara." Mare wrote about it and had us all in stitches, each one of us confessing to buying some goofy, useless item in a moment of weakness.

We begged her to bring the mascara to the New River Birding and Nature Festival, and she did. Not many of my fellow Farmhouse roomies got to see the demo, since Mary was up and doing her make-up at the kitchen table every morning at 4:45am, but I was lucky enough to witness the Big Event of the Week - Applying vibrating mascara.

The Preparation:

Mary withdraws the motorized wand
from the tube of mascara.

The Inspection:

I examine the tip of the mascara wand.
(Please note the spotting scope in the background.)

The Close-up:

Hmmm - looks like an ordinary mascara brush to me.

The Application:

"Careful, Mary! Don't poke your eye out with that thing!"

The Results:

Mary, the birder with the best make-up ever
