Spinlash - The Revolving Mascara

Click play to watch the Spinlash Video:

SPINLASH™ is the first mascara that revolves around you with a brush that gently rotates 360

degrees in both directions to apply mascara on both the upper and lower lashes. Patent pending SPINLASH™ comes in either black or brownish black mascara – or you can use SPINLASH™ with your own brand. The gentle motion of the rotating brush removes clumps with every turn while it separates, coats, lengthens, and volumizes your lashes. Get perfect lashes every time! Suitable for contact lens wearers and not tested on animals.
