Review (4/5): WATCH VIDEOS BEFORE APPLICATION
Ok, I'm leaving 4* because after a ton of research, video watching and practice... I finally got the results I was hoping for. However, it has been a chore that honestly has left me frustrated and a bit disappointed.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for review. I was STOKED to finally get to try a fiber mascara. Being that I'm a first timer, I was relying heavily on the packaging to help walk me through application. The directions say gel on clean lashes, then fiber. Being a fiber lash virgin, I honestly had no idea which tube was which until I pulled both wands out... its then obvious which is the fiber. The part that really gets me is the applying to clean lashes. I rarely take my eye make up off, so the first attempt was over day old covergirl. I thought that was why I had so much fiber in my eye maybe and that it just wasn't working right... the second day, I was revved to try it again with clean lashes... and I got such crappy results that I wound up throwing cover girl over top and running out the door. Third day, I done some research... Watched a few videos and wound up with a few tricks and tips, mostly from younique users.
-Apply the gel over a good coat of your regular mascara NOT CLEAN LASHES
-Squish the fibers onto the fiber wand, like you're trying to get a q-tip smaller
-gel the top and bottoms of your upper and lower lashes, switch sides, and then add the fiber, repeat, repeat, repeat.
-WATCH a few videos of applications. IF my toddler terrorists will ever give me a chance, I will totally post one myself. It seriously took me from hating this product, to making me mostly love it.
Meanwhile, fiber lashes are GREAT for date nights, but I find the application process a bit to time consuming for daily wear... and the price tag on them for date nights is a bit much, but if you have it to spend, go ahead. You wont HATE the results but don't let the other reviewers make you think this is an easy process for every woman. It certainly made me question my femininity.
