August's Best Beauty Buys

Magic Wand

Cone shaped, vibrating, revolving—when it comes to mascara wands, we thought we'd seen it all. Then we clapped our eyes on the new CK One Mascara . Twist the top of the cap one way to elongate the brush and separate the bristles; twist it the opposite way to contract them. You get long, defined lashes when the brush is extended and full, voluminous ones when it's compact. Either way you'll find the highly pigmented and water-resistant formula doesn't smudge, flake, or pull a quick disappearing act.
