Imju Fiberwig Mascara

So I was on the Oprah Winfrey website the other day (shut up, it's amazing, go check it out before you judge) and under their "Beauty Gizmos That Really Work!" section was a small article on tubing mascaras. Here's what they wrote:

"Lengthening, extending, volumizing, thickening...tubing? There's a fresh term in the mascara-hype lexicon. More and more mascaras claim to enhance lashes by forming tiny tubes around every lash. The concept sounded to us like a bit of magical thinking, but according to independent cosmetic chemist Yoram Fishman, there really is something different about "tubing" mascaras. "Most mascaras are oil- or wax-based; they're essentially paints. These formulas are water-based and contain polymers that form a solid film around each lash once the product dries," he said. When we tried them (a whole bunch of them: Blinc, L'Oréal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes Technology, VMV Hypoallergenics Ooh-La-Lash, Too Faced Lash Injection, Prestige Lash Matrix, Stila Convertible Mascara), we discovered the appeal. Tubing mascaras refuse to smear, smudge, or flake. The formulas dissolve in warm water; just a few splashes and those little tubes slip right off—no remover, rubbing, or raccoon circles of residue."

This is essentially a lengthening mascara as it did nothing to volumize my lashes. But honestly, having ten long skinny lashes on each eye is far from attractive. SO here is my AMAZING remedy to transform those pathetic stubs into gorgeous luscious lashes:

Make-up:

Helena Rubinstein Primer

Diorshow

Fiberwig

 

tools:

shu uemura eyelash curler

method:

1. Curl your eyelashes.

2. Put on 2-3 layers of primer until your lashes look white. The primer makes your eyelashes look thicker and longer.

3. Go crazy and add as many layers of fiberwig as you want. I usually put on 3 coats on top if I am going clubbing for a really dramatic look.

4. Add 1 layer of diorshow to thicken the lashes. I prefer to add the diorshow after the fiberwig since fiberwig doesn't really clump, resulting in a cleaner finish.

Results? Well, I'll post pics later. BUTTTT a friend of mine asked me if I was wearing fake lashes because they looked super long. success.

Imju Fiberwig Mascara available at any SaSa store, $108.
