Or are you scared of using it for fear that those fibers would somehow poke your eyes? always resorting to false lashes when you want to have longer-looking lashes?
Sounds confusing?
When i posted the
Etude House Dr. Mascara Fixer, i mentioned a fiber mascara that i was using. Well, this is it!
KKCenterhk.com is nice enough to let me try out this mascara.
It's housed in a gigantic tube, much like
Fiberwig. There are several colors that you could choose from, i just choose a pink one, but
they have blue & green as well. I think the only difference is the color of the packaging but they have same formula.
Honestly, at first i wasn't impressed with it but as i used it every now & then i changed my mind. This is definitely a keeper!
Let's start with the wand...
Looks so ordinary.. no fibers at all!
Told you, this doesn't have very obvious fibers so you won't need to worry about poking your eyes while applying.
I'm already saying in advanced that fiber mascaras are heavy. When i say heavy, it could weigh your lashes down therefore uncurling the lashes that you worked hard to curl... dame da.. not good!
tip:
There are 2 ways to make sure that your curls will stay.
- You either use a clear mascara after curling. Just like hair gel, once you put it on, it will keep your hair place. Same rules apply to clear mascaras...
- You can apply heat to make sure it will stay longer... think of curling iron. Using a heated eyelash curler or heating your ordinary curler with a hair dryer could also work as well.
I mostly just use a clear mascara (or in this case the
Dr. Mascara Fixer) to make sure that my lashes will stay curled for a long time.
time...

That's only two coats! I'm already quite satisfied with it.
I think it looks nice already!
I have been a fan of fiber mascaras because it is the only one that elongates my puny lashes giving me that feathery look that i've always wanted. But let me tell you one thing why i sometimes get annoyed with fiber mascaras. Most often than not, those tiny black fibers could result to fallout which looks like it's flaking. There were even times when i would just feel like something is in my eye which makes me very uncomfortable.
I have never felt any fibers from the mascara on my eye since this one doesn't have an obvious fibers on. Yay!
The best thing that i like about this is that since this is watery, you can have achieve well-groomed, uniform-looking lashes easily. Again, this takes a while to dry so you can take your time fixing how your want your lashes to look. You can run a lash comb to separate each lashes, or clump them together to have that falsies effect. You can't do that with fiber mascaras now, can you?
Another thing that i like about this is that since this a fiber mascara, you can easily take it off by just using water! But since i am using a waterproof primer underneath, it's pointless, but if you use it alone, removing it is just a breeze!
Now, one thing that turns me off the first time i used it is that it has a weird scent. It has this chemical-scent that i find a bit disturbing. It will go away later though, at least it's not something so awful that will give me a migraine. I'm ok with it since it disappears in time & not really overwhelming.
Another thing that makes me go meh! on this is the drying time. It doesn't dry as long as high end ones. Those waxy, good-for-nothing, "uncurling", mascara from most western cosmetic brands that i've tried dries forever. Well, this is not like that, fortunately, but this still takes a while.
Just make sure that you don't rub your eyes while this is drying,ok?
But once this is dries, it's really dry. No flaking or smudging!
Yay!
Those are my issues, but this is nevertheless, a great mascara.
It's a keeper in my book!
