Someone asked me if my eyelashes were fake on Saturday at Shinan’s Boldface Names Party. I knew I had to get my but in gear and post about the Lancome Ôscillation Powerbooster. It’s a godsend.

My lovely friends at L’Oreal Canada send me a sample of Lancome Ôscillation Powerbooster. I’m not a fan of primers in general. My Double Extend Beauty Tube experience didn’t change my mind about primers either.  However, a primer based on Ôscillation technology had me instantly interested. I’m a big, big fan of Ôscillation by Lancôme. I was excited about a primer with the same type of application. The idea of primer amplifying the already amazing effect of the mascara AMAZING.

The combo of the Ôscillation powerbooster and mascara is amazing. My lashes are thicker and longer. I usually get a comment or two about how long and curved my lashes are when I use them together. I also use the powerbooster as a primer for my Benefit Badgal Plum mascara. The plum colour pops more with the primer on.  It was a staple colour in India.

The first ever vibrating booster from Lancôme to promote natural lash growth. Improves lash surface condition for visibly stronger, denser and longer lashes. A unique step in your beauty routine to instantly amplify the power of every mascara

I received a lot of literature about the technology behind the Lancome Ôscillation Powerbooster.

Lancôme can exclusively reveal an all-new technique: a groundbreaking complex – Crescentiaâ„¢ – associated with vibration to stimulate lashes at their base, promote their natural growth*, and maximise the make-up results of any mascara.

A lash-product premiere: Lancôme’s Research Laboratories have integrated Madecassosside, a Centella Asiatica extract used in anti-hair loss products, within their formulation complex. Combined with Arginine, renowned for its ability to boost micro-circulation, Madecassosside works to re-densify lash fibres. Ôscillation Powerbooster thus not only promotes natural lash growth, but also strengthens lashes so as to avoid premature lash loss. With each passing day, lashes are visibly amplified, becoming stronger, longer, thicker, denser and more resilient.

The Ôscillation Powerbooster formula works in perfect harmony with the applicator’s vibrations so as to act like a massage at the very base of the lash fringe, thus helping boost micro-circulation and achieve a unique make-up result.

By offering this unique combination of an exclusive Madecassosside-based formula, Ôscillation Powerbooster lives up to its promise of providing visibly denser, longer and stronger lashes, day after day…

I can’t speak to any of these claims and to be honest they don’t matter to me. I got my validation on Saturday. If my lashes look so big they could be fake, I’m very, very happy.

Ôscillation Powerbooster is $39 and available at all Lancôme counters and Shopper’s Drug Mark
