The new Lancome Oscillation Powerbooster Mascara Primer looks just like the Oscillation Mascara except that the case is white. It operates the same way too – depress the button and apply the primer on your lashes then follow up with Oscillation Mascara or your mascara of choice and marvel at your super long lashes.
At least that’s the promise :)
What makes the Lancome Oscillation Powerbooster mascara primer different from other mascara primers is that it “enhances lash thickness, density and appearance of length so that naturally occurring lash growth is more visible/noticeable.” (see Nordstrom)
Fascinated yet? :)
I didn’t try this – just messed with the tester. It’ll be something interesting in the market anyway. No idea of its cost too but will update when I do.
Do you use a mascara primer? Does it help your lashes look longer and thicker? I don’t so its interesting to find out if I should be adding it to my arsenal hehe…
Stay beautiful,

I’m currently using Majolica Majorca’s Lash Bone as a base and it works fine for me. It helps make my lashes thicker and longer as well as keep its curl better.
The downside of mascara primers for me is that the lashes may become clumpy if you don’t comb it out properly. Also, I find it a chore to have to carefully coat mascara primers with mascara so that none of the ‘white’ bits show. Some claim to ‘dry transparently’ but somehow they never appear that way to me.
Hiya Hasegawa
I’ve never used a primer but it just felt like an extra step I could do without. Perhaps I can ;)
Definitely isn’t a very ‘necessary’ step :D I only bother with mascara primer if I have the extra time or if I am to attend a night event. Otherwise, I just stick with mascara and a heated lash curler :D
Hi Hasegawa
Oho! Ok then I’ll skip this one ;)
I am using Elizabeth Arden’s lash optimizer, but not consistently, I can’t say it makes a HUGE difference but there’s an added volume in there.
Hmm…that looks like a cool product!!! I haven’t use up my Mascara yet and there comes the primer! :D
Hey Nikki
Perhaps I should give a primer a try just to see how much a difference it makes to my puny lashes ;)
Yes, I use a mascara primer because my lashes refuse to curl without primer. Kate and Fasio are good ones to recommend. I am not fascinated by this Lancome though :P
Hi Cyndi
Kate and Fasio sound affordable! Yay! I don’t have problem with curling my lashes and so far most mascara hold a curl unless the formula is too heavy
Interesting!
I use Majolica Majorca’s lash bone. Helps my lash stay curl >10 hrs. It helps a lot when I use it with a lousy mascara that dries slow and tend to smudge. I think the mascara dries slow, so when I blink, I got lash marks on my lower eye area. The lash bone helps to hold the lash and then I got no lash marks. hehe…so I think the lash bone is a wonderful thing!
Hi Shay
Thanks for the info. I’ll take a look at Lash Bone if I decide to try a mascara primer.
