This seems almost gimmicky to me, it could be really cool or just a big pain that sits unused in the makeup drawer. Has anyone tried this that can give us a head up?

Bare Escentuals® ‘Magic Wand’ Brushless Mascara™

The unique design of Magic Wand Brushless Mascara™ allows you to individually coat each lash one at a time from every imaginable angle for fuller, longer-looking lashes. It also works like magic when layered over your favorite mascara for added volume. The overall effect is like wearing false eyelashes.

I’ve recently had the opportunity to try N.V. Perricone’s Ceramic Eye Smoother, and let me tell you - this product actually works, and almost instantly. 

I’m 30 now, so the lines around my eyes are getting more and more noticeable.  I not only have to deal with the lines, but also the discoloration under the eyelids.   When I heard that N.V. Perricone had a product that could help me with these issues, I knew I needed to try it immediately. 

It only takes a small amount of this product, which is wonderful - because it should last me quite some time.  You carefully apply it under your eyes - and almost instantly you will have smoother, brighter, younger looking eyes.  I’m not kidding.  Not only does it instantly give you results - it actually works to correct these issues…permanently!

I am quickly becoming one of Perricone’s biggest fans.  I haven’t yet tried a product that isn’t amazing.  Give this product a try, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
