I Tried A Weird Mascara with NO Bristles ... BEST ever?!

[@ricecakes42]

I remember my mother; she was a beautiful Korean lady. She used something similar when I was a young girl. She was able to aquire this mascara when I started wearing makeup, about 40+ years ago. I would use it and I loved it. I haven't seen this since then until now. Thank you, Zabrena, for going out of the box on make-up and showing other brands that are not main steam. Will try this mascara.

[@jchristenson]

This is an old "vintage wand" style wand. Max Factor had this wand ages ago! What's old is new!

[@9372463]

I don't remember Max Factor having this.

[@jchristenson]

@@9372463 my grandmother used it! It's early mascara because I am old!

[@VioletteValentine]

Max Factor had it for certain in the 1970s when I was a teenager...loved it!

[@luvhums6294]

Mascara wands used to be made with no bristles and I love it!

[@lisasmith435]

Yes, my mother had mascara like this when I was like 12 years old. ( Now I'm 55) so it's been a while since I've seen mascara wands like this.

[@luannzeigler8791]

BareMinerals made a brushless mascara as late as 5 yrs ago. I loved it. They discontinued it because not enough people were willing to try it. I was so disappointed! Price point was excellent too.

[@mariaalthorp2561]

I'm old enough to remember Helena Rubenstein mascara! The wand was exactly the same and really lengthened your lashes.

[@kattemilla]

About the bad reviews/difficulty removing the mascara: well it’s WATERPROOF so offcourse you can’t remove it with micellar/other waterbased products. It NEEDS to be oilbased to work. I’m genuinely surprised people don’t know this.

[@farmvetsph]

They are probably not used to "waterproof" which is actually waterproof.

[@beautifuldreamer0811]

Right, it makes me chuckle when people talk about how difficult it is to remove a mascara or liquid lip...just use oil! I have an oil based makeup remover from colourpop, but when I don't have that, I just grab the grapeseed oil from the kitchen and everything melts right off 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Soapartisan875]

I agree I use any two phase eye makeup remover you know the ones that look like there is oil floating in the water .. It removes stubborn waterproof makeup ..

[@WendyDahling3]

I always use coconut oil because I only use waterproof mascara.

[@faithnelson6069]

i had this wand in the 70's or so. i was just thinking about it yesterday too. very easy to control. it never deposited too much product either.

[@sheneiaparks4745]

That's so cool, hopefully drugstore companies will start doing this style

[@robinmoore7202]

I agree! $30+ for a mascara is too much for me.

[@motoz2238]

It's a wonderful mascara. I originally splurged just for the wand. It's stainless steel and can be sanitized before using in you favorite mascara. But dang...this stuff is awesome. I don't use it everyday... mainly just for Church band special occasions

[@ginacolvin3185]

I am as old as dirt & I remember a mascara wand like this in the late 60's, early 70's. I have the worst eyelashes and have recently taken to using tiny interdental brushes for mascara and it really helps.

[@deborahmitchell1595]

Love 💗 your Valentine backdrop. I didn’t mind having the blue and silver in the background. Every time I take down my Christmas 🎄 decorations I get depressed and cry. It’s almost like I feel my house looks drab after that.✝️💕

[@Zabrena]

I concur!!

[@cclarke9301]

Same here 😢I love all the sparkly things and lights 💕

[@ruk6128]

The first swipe you did on your lashes, I was like “Oooohh I wanna try it!!!” I can’t imagine how that would work. Thank you for another great review!

[@sarahcat7697]

In the beginning when you were trying out the mascara with that black turbine on you look like the famous painting the girl with the pearl earring. Lol have a great day

[@cindytroxler2838]

Wow!! Zabrina, I'm amazed at how gorgeous this mascara looks on you. Thanks for reviewing this product for us.

[@janicedevereux2839]

It’s a cool concept and will definitely get people talking… yes there are no bristles but you can see the grooves, which enabled the hairs to get in between the grooves to comb the product through. It also has pretty packaging for sitting on the vanity… I always enjoy something different..👏👏👏

[@kelseyhutchens2279]

Hi Zabrena, I want to thank you for all the times I have asked you to pray for my mom while she was sick and in the hospital. It always meant so much to me knowing that someone else was thinking of her and praying for her. She is with the Lord now and no longer hurting or in pain. I know ny grandparents welcomed her with open arms and is watching over me and my family. Thank you again ❤

[@Zabrena]

Oh Kelsey, I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious mother. I am lifting you and your family up in prayer tonight. May the Lord's angels encamp around you all in this time and minister the Father's love into your souls and surroundings. It is a beautiful thing to know she is no longer suffering and you will see her again. God bless you, beautiful

[@kelseyhutchens2279]

@@Zabrena Thank you so much, it means a lot to me

[@brekke668]

I used to use a mascara from Helena Rubinstein that was liked this and I loved it. I have short skimpy lashes and my lashes never looked better. I am going to try this.

[@oliviapetrinidimonforte6640]

I still use Helene Rubinstein mascara with no bristles. It's about 50 euros here in Austria.

[@madelinelhonness8078]

Me too! I haven’t seen it in ages

[@maryanncolandrea744]

I saved my Helena Rubenstein wand from years ago. I dip the wand in regular mascara and use it that way, once in a while. I wish HR was still sold in the US.

[@9372463]

I commented on that above. Some of us used to use this for tightlining (although it wasn't called that) back in the 70's

[@auapplemac1976]

You beat me to it! The first wand mascara that I remember was the Helena Rubinstein's. Didn't think anyone else remembered it. I think it came out in the late 50s or early 60s. I never liked bristle wands. As Zabrena said, you really can't get close with bristles or it tends to get on your upper lid or bridge of nose. Hope this starts a trend with less expensive brands.

[@beatrizotero1340]

Hi Zabrena your Valentines background is just so beautiful!!!!! Thank you, it’s always such a joy to watch your videos!

[@Mar-velousMarlenak8]

As always Zabrena, Thank you for your unbiased honesty. I had to chuckle at the end when you said you went into this thinking you were gonna say absolutely not! ...And then you ended up loving it.

[@Zabrena]

LOL! Too funny!

[@carols.4252]

In the eighties I had a Helena Rubinstein Mascara with the bare metal wand tip. If memory serves me correctly there were grooves on the metal tip. No bristles. It was a fiber mascara. It looked like an Angora sweater on the wand. It was bright emerald green. Like I said. It was the early eighties.

[@SandiTink]

The first mascara in a tube that I saw had a metal wand with ridges and no brush. That’s why Great Lash was such a big deal when it launched.

[@Sanderay007]

I'm 66 and I remember when I first started wearing mascara I was about 12 or 13 and Maybelline had a mascara with a wand exactly like this, and it worked really well.

[@sallyrose9960]

Yeah, the mascara looks great. But, let's talk about your curls! Wowza! Time for a video on your current curl routine and products. Looking gorgeous, Z!

[@christinescott5002]

If you like the root accessibility of this mascara, I'd suggest the IT Cosmetics Lash Primer. It's black and you can use it all by itself. It has a teeny (in diameter) wand. The Neogen is a ery interesting product!

[@trishhinkle7076]

I’ve never seen mascara like this before. I didn’t think the application would work but wow! It’s gorgeous!💝

[@virginiamaigret9373]

Many many years ago I think it was Lancôme that made a mascara with the same type of wand. Worked beautifully as well. Thank you for this review sweet Zabrena and god bless you and your family!

[@makeupboss3568]

That’s so cool. I have the tiniest lashes, that could help me. Thanks so much for the review

[@barbr100]

Clinique made a non waterproof version of this called Supermascara. I loved that wand and wish they would bring it back.

[@annette6420]

Didn’t hourglass also do one?

[@christybaker14]

I think IT cosmetics had one too .

[@jolee333]

Zabrena, of all the mascaras that I've seen you try- and I've seen you try A LOT- this one is the clear winner! I've never seen your natural lashes look more stunning than this. TRULY amazing mascara. My eyes were bugging out of my head, watching you apply it. You need to pair this with your best volumizing mascara and see what the results are! I'll bet you won't need your falsies😁 Do a video on it, pleeeeeeeease! Lol. I love you and your videos so much! You truly have inspired me, and I've learned most of my eye makeup application from you.❤ God bless you and your family!

[@franceslamb464]

Wow! That was crazy good. I like how it get every lash. And you can use the end to separate them!!

[@Zabrena]

YESSSS!!!

[@HeatherFonseca]

I’m not sure I’ll try the mascara unless I find it at one of the Korean beauty stores near me, but I do want to cal out that beautiful background! I love that you change up your backdrops for the seasons & holidays.

Ahhh thank you so much for noticing Heather! :) Hugs!

[@allieg6401]

Very interesting idea I have issues getting to the root of my lashes too. Worked better during your test then I thought it would! Have to admit that as soon as you said reviewers said hard to get off I instantly said oil cleanser!! Another fantastic video ❣️

You may be to young to remember, but I remember my mother having mascaras with wands like this. They didn't seem to clump as much. I think they look great. Thanks for the review.

[@brettbrinegar3929]

I have very deep set eyes and this is the first mascara I’ve ever used that doesn’t transfer and create major raccoon eyes. I can nap in this without flaking and raccooning. ELF cleansing balm took it off as did coconut oil and almond oil. Neogen also sells a oil based remover Code 9 that’s on sale right now for $17. Highly recommend for oily lids

[@Glamma_Karen]

This look is pretty, but very natural. l dig really dramatic lashes. Cool to see the demo though. Hugs Zabrena!!

[@NinaJacksonTLC]

Great video Zabrena. Totally wow. I have used the Surratt Noir Lash Tint which has the same type of wand and used like mascara. Love it.

[@dionline88]

There was a drugstore mascara like this years ago and I used to love it! I wish I could remember the brand but it, too, said it was great for lengthening skimpy lashes. Sadly it fell off my radar so I don't remember it but this is exactly like it. I'm so stuck on my drugstore mascaras now that I won't spend that kind of $$ on mascara any longer but what a blast from the past! Great video and thanks for including the removal review and process you used. I'm sure that will be very helpful for those who buy this!!

Yup, there was a wand like this before.

[@glassslippergourmet]

One of my favorite mascaras is Mabeline las discovery which has a teeny tiny wand. Its the only one if been able to get root coverage (which i also struggle with). Going to give this one a try as while i love the Lash Dicovery, it doesn't hold curl as well as I'd like it too. Plus, i like the replacement product only concept! Thanks for the review.

[@rgbar-g780]

Loreal telescopic (gold packaging) has a wand like this, only on one side. Its been the savior of my invisible lashes.

[@monstermcboo7282]

Ooh! I’m gonna try that one. I’m losing more and more pigment in my whole body all the time. Thought I was losing my lashes as well but actually they’re just mostly CLEAR now. I have a hard time getting down to the roots of them with a bristle wand so I sometimes have an invisible line between my lid and where the mascara starts. 😂😂😂 Gotta love adrenal disease. Phew.

[@lauraporter6516]

That's my favorite too, except I use the black one.

[@theeluannesantos]

This mascara looks beautiful! I use a makeup eraser to get rid of stubborn makeup. I look for Volumizing mascaras but I want to try this one

[@gerismakeuplaughs152]

I went on their website to check it out and they have a curl &volume formula with the no bristle wand as well. Thought you might want to know. I think I might purchase one of each...the lengthening one and a curl&volume one...then I can stack them and have the best of both worlds 🌎

[@ruth4489]

I believe this is a remake from the mascara in the 1920s. There is a lady named Laura from Canada that collects vintage and antique makeup and does reviews on the way people did their makeup in the 1800s, etc. She does reviews on modern day makeup too. Anyways, I believe Max Factor had a mascara like this as well as Helen Rubinstein and the Westmores. The Westmore guy was back in the 1940s and between him and Mr Maximillian Factorovich or Max factor was his shortened name, almost all Hollywood starlets had Mascara like this to their lashes. In black and white film the little spidery lashes photograph sooo beautifully. Joan Crawford has many photos that used this kind of mascara.

[@monstermcboo7282]

Laura Jane Atelier? I love her!

[@laurieb.5199]

I really liked the application because it looks like it goes down to the base of the lash! Good video

[@Zabrena]

Yes! It does!!

[@joseefleurent9640]

When I was a young girl (11 or 12), may aunt had a mascara that had no bristle, just a wand and man it made my Eyelashes so so long. Never forgot about it. I will try to find the brand and hopefully a picture as well to show you 😀 Have a great weekend 🤗

[@joseefleurent9640]

I found something, but not sure it's the same thing. Name rang bell, but who knows. Even if not the same product, the memory is priceless. It was put on the market on my birth year (57) and I'm sure my aunt gave me this love for makeup and being put together even on ordinary days. The brand was Helena Rubinstein. She died at 98 two years ago and two months prior to her death she was still putting blush and lipstick and her hair curled when we went to Walmart. Her favorite place to shop 😀. Oh well, such nice memories!!!

[@norasnails5]

OMG!! It really looks like a good mascara.. but an expensive one 👀.. thanks for the video.. love you're content ❤

[@chelsiea5562]

I have blonde eyelashes as well and I LOVE smoky, dark and smudy eyeliner looks but the struggle of seeing your natural lashes ruins the look. I might have to try this out!

[@valeriebrooks8944]

False eyelashes are everywhere these days, but in the 70s, they were for dressing up. I used Helena Rubinstein mascara which had the same bristle-less, metal wand. It is my favorite of all time. I was constantly accused of wearing false lashes & it broke my heart when I could no longer find it anywhere (no longer available in the US)
