Bionic Mascara?

by Shannon on May 11th, 2008

bionic mascara smashboxYes, with a clear question mark. When I came across an ad from Smashbox for their new mascara with claims of being “bionic” I clearly dismissed it and said, “Whaaa?

BIONIC is the first-ever ionic formula mascara. The primary ingredient in BIONIC is a chain molecule with a positive charge. The friction caused by sweeping the mascara brush across lashes causes a negative charge. Since opposites attract, the positively charged formula adheres to the negatively charged lashes for a dramatic effect that lasts all day.” (As described on Smashbox’s product page)

Maybe I am the only one, but that sounds a little fishy to me. Why would I need ions for my eyelashes? Is it going to volumize, define and lengthen my lashes? The description on Smashbox’s site simply says it makes lashes stronger and more voluminous.

I admit, I’m skeptical. Have you tried it?
