Okay, ladies – since you guys loved my review of SPINLASH so much, the great people at Akasha have agreed to give three lucky readers a FREE Spinlash of their very own!
Here’s how it works: to enter, comment on this post and tell me what your biggest problem with mascara is. Does it always clump when you apply? Do you constantly miss those little lashes in the corners? I’ll pick my three favorite answers, contact those ladies via e-mail and send their information on over to Akasha, who will ship out your SPINLASH themselves directly from their facilities. Now isn’t that easy?
Don’t just stand there, girls – get to commenting! The contest will run through next Monday, with the winners being announced on Tuesday. Good luck! (And for those of you who aren’t lucky enough to win, don’t worry – you can still pick up SPINLASH at Target stores nationwide.)
I’m very curious about this guy
HI! How are you? You can count me in as a hopeful, as I’ve never seen this item before and it looks great. And, FYI: I have posted your contest information for my readers on the Advice Sisters forums at: http://advicesisters.net/simplemachinesforum/index.php?topic=127.msg149#msg149
I hope you get lots of entries. Thanks for running this fun contest.
I think the biggest problem I have with mascara is getting my baby lashes in lower lashline. I feel with this little nifty guy, those lashes will no longer be a problem. Not that I have not tried with a gazillion mascaras, but none of them have ever left me satisfied. Instead I have been left with specks of mascara, which are so annoying to clean after you’ve applied your concealer down there. Good luck to everyone! <3
Finding a balance between overdoing it and not doing it enough. I already have pretty long lashes, so some mascaras are just too much. Others, however, just don’t give me the coat or the length I’m looking for.
My lashes are practically invisible—I think they’re turning gray or falling out or something! I need mascara to make my blue eyes look fab instead of washed out….
Oh man, I hate clumpy, yucky mascara that goes on in chunks..lol. (Hard to explain) In other words, not smooth. I also hate mascara that comes out real goopy.
As a matter a fact, it’s time for some new mascara for sure so crossing toes and fingers and eyelashes that I win! ~grin~
Have a nice evening! Kristi
My biggest problem is mascara smudging under my eyes giving me raccoon eyes.
I would love to try this! Thank you for the giveaway!
I could really use this new mascara. My eyelashes all go in different directions, making it impossible to put on mascara without clumping. I have very oily skin, so regardless of which product I use I have little black dots under my eyes at the end of the day. Having little self confidence doesn’t help, so anything to help that makes me feel really happy. I’m also going to school for makeup, so I will be able to share this product with my friends and get them to purchase it.

I don’t even bother to apply mascara to my bottom lashes, it smudges so easily. I also hate when I apply it and have to blink or sneeze right after, and it gets all over my nice eyeshadow.
The smudges from the mascara are my biggest problem plus my hand is a little shaky. I’m just a clutz, when it comes to applying mascara or eyeliner. Thanks for the giveaway.
I can’t seem to apply it easily… and usually poke myself in the eye, which turns out to be a mess.
The flaking–it ends up under & over my eyes!
WELL, I HAVE USED CHRISTIAN DIORS MASCARA ALMOST ALL MY ADULT LIFE, AT THIS TIME I CANNOT AFFORD DIOR, SO I AM FORCED TO USE STORE BRANDS, YOU KNOW THEM, AND THEY JUST DON’T COMPARE BY A MILE. SO MY PROBLEM WITH MASCARA IS PRICE! ALSO QUALITY!
WOULD LOVE TO FIND SUCH A PRODUCT!
After many years I’ve almost mastered the art of applying mascara, except for two things… I have rather long eye lashes and when I finish applying it I have to wait a few seconds and blow up towards my eyes or else I get nice black dots right where my top lashes meet my skin…when that’s not the problem, I end up smudging my face with black because I use my fingers to push up my lashes as they dry (to give them that extra boost I guess) and forget my fingers are dirty !
My biggest problem with mascara is there is never enough.
Also it always gets smudged on my skin right below my eyebrow.
Also no one ever carries BRIGHT colors of mascara near me.
I HATE clumps and smudging . i look goth, even when i’m going for a more clean cut look!
my biggest problem, aside from finding a mascara that actually loves me as much as I love it, is the smudging and clumping. It seems like every time I apply it, I get a clump, then I try and “fix” it and voila’ I have a nice black smudge on my eyelid. Maybe Im just not adept at mascara application, who knows!!
Thanks for the contest, I’d love to try the new product!
Hi. I will add your giveaway to Chick Lit Giveaways this week.
For me, it’s the clumping. My lashes are naturally quite thick, but I like using mascara for curling and length. And with every single brand I’ve tried, the same thing always happens, which is clumping about 3 lashes together. Even if I comb before and after, it looks a bit messy most of the times.
This product sounds amazing, I’ve only heard of it here. I wonder if all mascaras will be like that in the future!
I have a ton of mascara that I don’t use because I hate the brush. I could use them all up with the Spinlash! Yeah
Nice, I’d love to try it!
My biggest problem with mascara is I’m right handed and I do alright applying to my right eyelashes but I am awkward with the left lashes and they never look as good. Also,I have issues with my lashes clumping and I end up using an individual eyelash comb to try and separate them. However, it doesn’t work that well and I end up wasting quite a bit of time. It’s all very frustrating!
Mascara problems? I could go on for days! The biggest by far is even application. I would give my first born child for a mascara that applies evenly EVERY SINGLE time with EVERY SINGLE stroke. I mean who has time to de-clump their lashes these days? Oh and would love a mascara that can get those baby lashes in the corners. So if Spinlash can do this plus more then sign ME up!
I hate when it clumps! I also don’t like when it doesn’t add enough length.
My mascara frustration would be smudges! I hate it, I got them under my eyes and on my eyelids. I make sure that the mascara on the brush is thin but I still end up having black inks all over my peepers. Wiping them off is very time-consuming, too.
I have two big issues with mascara: first, separating. For some reason, whenever I apply mascara, my lashes like to stick together and I get spider-lashes like crazy. No matter how much I comb and de-clump, they remain fairly stuck so I look like I have three big lashes on my eye and that’s it.
Secondly, smudging! Grrr. I hate doing my eyes all pretty and then I get to the mascara- and it smudges on my nice, well-done eyeshadow, and you can’t remove the smudge without messing up everything. Grrr.
I used to not wear mascara. Then, when I was 15, I discovered the wonders it could do for making my eyes look bigger and birghter and I was hooked. So hooked, in fact that I’ve been on the constant quest to find the right mascara formula that will try to make my lashes as long as possible. Unfortunately for me, I was not born with pre-volumized, lush, long lashes. Therefore, I have to apply coast after coast to get my much-loved doe-eyed look.
Invariably, I end up with clump and spider-lashes. And although they may be long, sometimes, my eyelashes end up loooking more like Yzma’s http://www.jadis.demon.co.uk/pictures/yzma.jpg than Bambi’s
Getting mascara to stay on my bottom lashes is a problem for me!
Having typical Asian eyes, my lashes are naturally short and i have bought four different mascaras in the past, and all possess the same lousy results on my lashes.

My biggest problem is I always manage to get the mascara all over the eyeshadow I so timestakingly applied and I end up having to take everything off with eye makeup remover and start all over again. Then when I finally do get it applied the right way I look in the mirror(several hours later) and the mascara looks as if it has disappeared and my lashes look limp!
SPIDER LASHES! Need I say more? Time to call the exterminator! XOXO!
I get mascara ALL OVER my eyelids every single time. Big brush, small brush, long brush, short brush – none of it makes a lick of difference! whose idea was it to attach *lashes* to *lids* anyway. The big brushes a la DiorShow give me great thick long dark lashes and a mess on my eyelids (top lid, I won’t even go near the bottom one) and the small brushes are a little bit neater, but always leave something to be desired on the lashes. One of these days, I will crack the PMAC – Perfect Mascara Application Code!
All of the above! It clumps when I apply it, I miss the inner lashes and because of those problems I end up with mascara on places where it shouldn’t be. I need help!

Nice website!!
MY biggest problem with mascara is that usually I eng up with too much mascara on roots of my lashes, and too little mascara at the ends of the lashes. I can put that afterwards, but then the middle section of the lashes are missing mascara. soooo, it’s not easy to me make my lashes balanced.
The biggest problem I have w/ mascara is definitely clumps! I can’t stand any clumpus or blobs of mascara on my lashes. It will take me just a couple of minutes to put on my mascara, then I’ll spend 10 more minutes trying to smooth everything out. Is Spinlash the magic wand I’ve been looking for?

This looks just awesome, I have such long eyelashes on the top that I need something that will make my bottom ones look as long as my top ones. This should take off the time it takes to curl my eyes.
I wear contacts, and have such thin, pale lashes; I apply mascara, reapply mascara, and sometimes apply the 3rd time until I get a little length and color, (and sometimes I ever have black smears on my contacts). By this time, it is a clumpy mess!! I have tried every kind of mascara on the market, and everything clumps after several coats. This spinlash looks amazing, and have great hopes to solve my problem. I am disabled, and have been trying to find a way to try this product, as my money is very limited. This is my chance and hope. Thank you very much.
I have tried many mascaras through the years and my one huge complaint is that so many of them give such POOR coverage; you have to put on coat after coat to make your lashes appear. So, I am going to Target today to purchase Spinlash to try. It looks like a super idea! Why didn’t someone think of it sooner . . .
Janine – I agree! And when those lashes do show up, they’re already clumpy and spidery. Ew! If you end up liking Spinlash, you should check out Lancome Oscillation, the next big rotating mascara…that is, if you can get ahold of it. They’re sold out everywhere!
hi, i have real short eyelashes i meen really short and desprite for help i have medical probalem and dont knoe if that could effect it but please pick me i need so desperate help with my eyelashes i have had heart attack and have pancreatitis and would love to say i won something in my life for once,sincere julie kimes
i have practically non-existant light colored eyelashes, and no matter what mascara i use I always get clumps and smears trying to make it look like I have lashes! igenerally end up looking like I have fuzzy caterpillars which are leaking on my eyes!
Awesome idea!
My biggest problem is applying mascara to the lower lashes. I try using the tip of the brush only to end up with a clump of mascara in the corner of my eye. I try wiping it with a q tip and smear it. Of course I should mention Im 53 and my face has fallen leaving extra skin where most women dont have it. I will be interested to see if the spin lash helps resolve this problem.
my eyeslashes are very small and very thin …i would love to try your product….my friend has is and she is very pleased with it
My biggest problem with mascara is knowing when to give up the ghost and throw out my current tube and buy a new one. I never seem to remember when it has been long enough. Wouldn’t it be great if somehow there was a way to mark it with an expiration date so that I do not risk damage and/or infection to my eyes?
What a dream this would be for me if it really works. Mascara trouble..I have it all. My upper eyelashes are so small I have to put so much mascara on that when I’m done it’s all clumped and ugly. My lower eyelashes I can’t even find..lol. and I were contacts and get many eye infections because I never know when to throw out old mascara. This sounds like a dream come true. thanks for the opp.
My biggest problem is that i am very fair and it is hard to get mascara on without looking like a raccoon.
Awesome, I’m excited to see your reviews along with this contest… YOU GO GIRL!
I have short lashes. I have thin lashes and I have very straight lashes.
I’ve used an eyelash curler every day for the past 24 years along with 2-3 coats of mascara and I’ve tried every brand of mascara imaginable along with every tactic out there (baby power, the HEATED eyelash curler- remember THAT one?, fake lashes, etc.) – 10 minutes later my lashes are back to being straight and just bla.
Excite me, SpinLash!
Thanks for this opportunity,
Shari in Michigan
I am simply interested in this product. I usually use false eyelashes to get the beautiful,long,full look for lashes. I’m thinking and hoping SPINLASH will produce this look without the gooiness of gluing on false eyelashes.
I have been going through chemo treatments for a year now and my lashes all fell out. Now they are growing back and I would love a product that would make my lashes look longer.I used to have really long lashes and hair. I know it takes time for them to grow back, but believe me you sure do miss it when all the hair on your body is gone.I have tried many products, but they all seem to clump the little hairs I have and I don’t want to use a lash curler because they are still too short. I am hoping this product will work for me.
The mascara that I use always clumps and forms spider lashes. It doesn’t make my lashes stand out like they should. I am a stay at home mom that doesn’t get the chance to get all made up more than once a week. My husband is in the Coast Guard so he is not home all the time. When we do get a date I want to look amazing for him. I want my eyes to stand out. I don’t want to have him looking at the clumps or trying to pluck them off. There have been a few times when the clumps have actually gone in my eye which causes my eyes to water and then make-up to run or rub off. I would love to try a product that makes me look great and feel great knowing that I won’t have to worry about whether I will encounter any problems. I would love to try this product and see the results!
I have very long lashes that sometimes will curl but the curl dont remain al day. The masacara that has worked thebest for me is the Lime Green Maybelline. I would really like to try the Spin lash but have not been able to find it in stores. My problems are usually clumping or not lasting all day. I do wear contact lenses so I h ave to be careful what I use. I never wear waterproof mascara except for funerals or weddings because I always find it hard to get off no matter what makeup remover i use.I want to see a mascara that finally works for me and leave clear, defined beautiful lashes.
I think I will love this new wand. Thanks so much for the review. I hate having to keep going over my lashes and then of course goof and get mascara where I don’t want it. This looks like the perfect solution
my biggest problm is clumpy blumpy lashes aftr i apply any mascara i tried soo many thing diffrent product who claimd tht thr mascara is diffrnt but all i can say when i apply on my lashes result allwyz same clumpy blumpy lashes – now i seen ths product on tv and 1st things comes into my mind is … thats it m gonna throw all da old mascara i hve nd only want to use ths one cuz its sound likee refreshing that its routating
no more clumpy blumpy lashes now…
my biggest problem with mascara is the nasty ugly and stupid clumps that is the only promblem i really have
hold on now ,lets not forget the guys who are interested in this product there are many transgender and crossdresser people like myself who would just love this product also like many of you girls have said yes putting on mascara is an art and to do it well takes alot of pratice so we {guys} need more help and i believe this product will help us achieve the perfect lashes. thanks
I have used probably almost every mascara in the stores and I still cannot find one that will not CLUMP, SEPARATE and CURL. I AM A BLONDE AND MY LASHES ARE VERY LIGHT AND I WOULD SAY THEY ARE AVERAGE LENGTH…RECENTLY I PURCHASED FROM QVC WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST EYE LASH CURLERS EVER, WELL IT DID NOT WORK EITHER…I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM OF LASHES CLUMPING TOGETHER AND JUST DROOPING AFTER I DO GET THEM CURLED. I AM HOPING THAT THIS IS THE PRODUCT I AM LOOKING FOR TO GET THE BEAUTIFUL LASHES I’VE ALWAYS WANTED WITHOUT WEARING FALSE ONES.
Nice and Best
my problem is keeping a steady hand and not jabbing myself in the eye with spinlash i just hold it in place and move it slowly back and forth but i do have a problem >>>>>>>>>>>
where do i buy the refills and how much are they
Just turned 66 like the great interstate and need I say more, this face can use all the help it can get even though my hubby thinks I’m beautiful as is! Applying mascara is however the challenge to these shaky arthritic hands. Oh what joy to be able to just stabilize my elbow and let the mascara wand do all the “walking”. Great idea for those still young and limber in mind and still want to keep up with the latest makeup beauty secrets. Thanks,
Sherry
