Will the world revolve around the Dior Diorshow 360º Revolving Mascara?

April 4, 2011 Paris B 16 Comments

Two years ago, the latest revolution in mascara was not the formula but the wand. Estee Lauder and Lancome both came up with their versions of the vibrating mascara wand almost within seconds of each other, it would seem. Well, here’s another high end brand who decided to go down the gadgety road – Dior with their Diorshow 360° Revolving Mascara.

diorshow 360 degrees revolving mascara

I’ve tried the regular Diorshow mascara and in the main, I’ve always been quite satisfied with their performance. Yes its a pricey mascara – just look at the name – but I’ve thus far tried 2 Diorshow mascara (Iconic and Extase) with differing results. With the promise of a “Revolving Lash-Styling Brush” that offers “Volume Curl and Length” I had to see how the Diorshow 360º fared.

Packaging wise, Dior has made it a DIY mascara. You get a big box as shown above and when you open it, here’s what you get.

diorshow revolving mascara pack

The mascara tube, packaged in a classy glossy black tube this time, instead of the usual shiny embossed Diorshow tube, and the mascara cap with the wand. I must say that I like this packaging. The shiny metal embossed bit really stands out against the black, and rightly so, because that shiny bit is the “switch” that you use to turn the revolving mechanism on and off.

Now, point to note. This mascara is a revolving mascara. When you twist the switch, the wand will revolve. The idea is for the wand to revolve against your lashes, thereby coating them with the mascara. The switch works both ways too. Switch it one way so it revolves upwards for your upper lashes and then twist it the other way so it revolves downwards for your lower lashes. I like the switch – I don’t want my mascara revolving/vibrating the minute I take it out of the tube.

The other thing I like… well “like” is a strong emotion. Let’s rephrase. Another thing I appreciated is that any vibration or motion isn’t strong. You feel a slow mechanical motion, but its not something that will cause your hand to vibrate for hours after using this.

One more point to note. The silver bit is the twisty bit so don’t twist off the cap while holding that bit or the mascara will start revolving in the tube and get very clumpy. Hold the black bit of the cap. I made that mistake, so you don’t have to 😛

The revolutions are quite slow, which is an excellent thing if you have short lashes as I do, and I did not feel like I wanted to just get the job done and over with which is how I felt with the other gadgety mascaras.

diorshow brush

Unlike the previous Diorshow mascara I tried, this brush is surprisingly slim by comparison. This is the clean brush you get in the box. It’ll never look this clean again after you assemble your mascara 😛

Now for the million dollar question. So yes yes, its an interesting gadget and it seems better than a vibrating mascara but how does it work on the lashes? Here’s the picture collage of before and after pictures using Diorshow 360º mascara.

Before and After Diorshow 360 Revolving Mascara

Images on the left (your left) are without mascara, uncurled lashes. Images on the right are after applying the Diorshow 360º mascara on uncurled lashes. I deliberately did not curl my lashes beforehand because this mascara promised to style my lashes with the “Lash Wax” formula, which I took to mean it’d curl my lashes for me. No such luck as you can see.

I do find it has a better result if I apply it on curled lashes (and its less messy for me too). Other thing it promises is volume, curl and length. I get the volume and a little length, but no curl. Well… maybe a leeetle curl if you look at the lower photo. I couldn’t get the mascara to apply properly on my non existent lower lashes – the brush was just too big.

Do I like it then? Well, I do like the formula. It does not smudge on me (I can’t tell from the box if its waterproof) and once I curl my lashes, it holds a curl nicely. It gives me volume but no length. The revolving mechanism is fun, but I could just as easily live without it. I still can’t give up my Shiseido Perfect Mascara for this one, but if I had no choice, I might, revolving or no.

Pros: Volume, No smudges, Interesting gadgetry, Good sized brush

Cons: Pricey, No curl without first using a lash curler

Here’s a note about prices. Diorshow Extase is RM109. This is RM128. You are paying just a slight premium for the gadget but I’d be happy for Dior to drop the price to under RM100 (pretty please!) and just release this one as a non revolving mascara with the same brush and formula. I think I’d be able to handle applying my mascara on my own.

So…  (just trying my luck here) anyone at all tried this one? 😀 Or are interested to?

Diorshow 360º Revolving Mascara retails at RM128 at all Dior counters.

    Very gadgety mascara. I’m currently using their Diorshow mascara and it’s great. I’m curious about this one though, because Dior’s formula is usually pretty nice 🙂

      The formula on this one is nice! Not flaky or smudgey at all 🙂

    I haven’t tried any vibrating/revolving mascara but i think i can easily apply mascara without the ‘gadget’ in it.but i find electric toothbrush to be really good though 😛 can’t brush without it now.

    I’ve been meaning to find out the brand selling 360 degree rotation mascaras! Do you know of any other brands that sell a similar product (not the vibration ones)??

      As far as I know only Dior has a revolving mascara that is 360 degrees.

    I have the Maybelline Vibrating Mascara, but yeah. I’ve never really tried it yet. I think it would be a long, long time before I use high-end mascaras. ^.^ But yeah, a revolving mascara would be a nice touch to my collection.

      I haven’t tried the Maybelline one but if it vibrates I probably won’t like it. I much prefer this slow rotation if I’m going to get a gadget mascara 🙂

    It won’t pull out the lashes as it revolves? 🙂

    I’m not too sure if I like the whole rotating/vibrating mascara. Saw the one from maybelline at watsons the other day. Had a test. Not impressed with it at all. When estee lauder launched the turbolash, I tested it out at the counters and wasn’t sold either. I’ll stick to my traditional non-pulsating wand 😉

      I’d stick with a normal mascara too to be honest. Still, these gadgets are sort of fun 😉

    The EL MUA tried thier turbolash mascara on me once at the counter and I liked the results but not so much to splurge on it. Vibrating mascaras just seem very gadgety to me as I don’t really see a big difference in results compared to regular ones. Still, this one sounds nice. If it wasn’t for the price, I’d give it a try.

      I didn’t have good luck with vibrating mascaras. They made my lashes clumpy. This one applies better as it sweeps on the mascara, but its pricey. I do like the formula and brush though, so let’s hope they release that 🙂

    There is another product with a 360 degree revolving brush. It’s called Spinlash. I purchased one a couple of years ago at a Target store, but they have never restocked the product. It is available online. The revolving wand is absolutely amazing. It perfectly coats, separates and lengthens lashes. The formula is terrible however, the wand can be used with your favorite mascara. The biggest disappointment is that once the battery dies…that’s it. The battery cannot be replaced. The concept is fantastic. It just needs work. I’ve waited two years to see an improvement, so I just don’t think it’s going to happen. Perhaps I should develop my own!
