The GUESS bottle is lovely. It has an interesting shape with a climbing vine and blossom on it. Pretty. I liked the fragrance more than my daughters did, but I think they were blinded by thoughts of smelling like Jessica Simpson. What do those kids know anyway?  It’s a sweet scent, but not too sweet. It has a nice spiciness to it and a spicy scent is what I enjoy best.

Here’s the note breakdown………

Top Note: Star Fruit, Curacao Orange, Cardamon, and Grapefruit

Heart Note: Pink Honeysuckle, Peony, Crystal Jasmine

Base Note: Musk, Vanilla, Dulce de Leche, Blonde Wood

Paul Marciano, CEO of GUESS?, Inc, explains the intention behind the fragrance, “This new fragrance represents the company’s pioneering history by preserving the traditional feminine persona and then combining it with the unexpected.”

Fragrance Review: GUESS by Marciano

I’ve tried a lot of mascaras in my time, including the mascara with the tubes, but this was my first mascara with a motorized moving applicator brush. The brush is soft rubber brush – something new that I’ve seen in a lot of mascaras lately. I really like the rubber brushes – they have little or no pull-feeling as they apply the formula to your lashes.  The motorized brush rolls 360 degrees in one direction for upper lashes and another direction for lower lashes.  You can see a video explanation here.

Here are my impressions:

*I was worried about the moving applicator brush, but it moves slowly and gently.

*The applicator brush does all the work for you, you hold it against your lashes and move it from root to tip. Multiple coats are unnecessary.

*The formula is absolutely clump-free.

*Our lashes looked much longer and the turning action of the brush curls them up, as well.

*Our lashes stayed soft and flexible, not stiff and sticky, like most formulas are after awhile.

*My daughter thinks that she’s going to get the rest of the tube. She is mistaken – I’m keeping it. She can have the tubes stuff.

Bay and I tried the mascara with no other makeup on.  Here is Bailey before, sorry that it’s a little fuzzy. You can still see a big difference.

And here is Bailey after.

Bailey does have longer than normal lashes, so I’m also showing it on myself. I have it on the left, while my right eye is makeup free.  The photo is a funny angle, my 10-year-old, Sarah, took the photo and she was looking up.  Can you see how much longer my lashes are?

As you can see, this is some good stuff and I’m happy to say that the people at Spinlash are giving me four Spinlash mascaras to give away.

If you’d like the opportunity to receive one of these magically motorized mascara wands of your very own, then leave me a comment on this post.  In a few days, I will choose 4 random commenters to win.

Good luck!!
