So not that most of you guys would know but I love make – up but I am a self confessed drug store barbie as I feel its silly to pay a lot of money for a product that could run out super quickly. However I recently signed up with both Avon and Younique to become an independent representative with them, so now I have a minor discount with them and when  I started with Younique they sent out a starter pack which contained some of their most popular products, one of which being the 3D Fibre Lash Mascara. 

Now I was just like every other person who lives for drug store make-up when this came out – who in their right mind would pay £23 for a mascara?! But since it came in my welcome pack I thought I may as well try it. 

I am a huge sceptic when it comes to items like this, as my own £1 mascara makes my eyelashes look long and luscious and very pretty, so I didn’t see what difference this one at £23 could make. I knew it came as two bottles, one as a transplanting gel and one for fibres. I’d also heard that the fibres were what made the lashes look so big.

My first comment on the fibres is – they hurt like hell if they land in your eye, so be super careful about that! I have mentioned just how much of a clutz I am before right? The fibres are attached to what I can only describe as a flat-ish mascara wand, and they will fall off your lashes if you do not apply them as directed and if you do not add the transplanting gel fast enough. 

I didn’t do the side by side two different mascaras photo with my lashes as that would have meant wasting precious time before work, however I can see a difference without even doing that. It really does make them look huge. Even the transplanting gel itself added a lot of length to my lashes, the fibres worked by adding darkness and even more length as well as some extra thickness to my lashes. 

Now I have this habit that I touch my eye lashes when I’m wearing mascara, I don’t know why or what ever caused me to start doing this, but every time I did before I’d have little bits of mascara come off onto my finger. As of yet, I haven’t had the same amount of transfer. There still is some, but it is noticeably less than with any other products I have used. I believe this may just be a thing with mascara’s but I’m happy that there isn’t a large amount. I also have to wear glasses all day to do my job, drive, use anything with a screen and to in general see, so keeping my glasses clean is very, very important. This mascara has made my lashes that much long than I’m used to so a fear hit me that they would stain my glasses. They haven’t (thankfully) so I still have full vision with this product, unlike a mascara I used to use that left black dots on my lenses, and that was extremely irritating. 

So lets get started on how I used the product, packaging ext as I’ve now noticed I’ve skipped all of that.

The mascara comes in what I can only describe as a glasses case. Not a soft one but a hard one that would tend to come with more expensive pairs. Its embossed with a diamond design and the brand name and logo for Younique. Its lightweight and would easily fit in a clutch bag (I did actually try this in one of my smaller ones, it fitted quite well along side my phone) and it wouldn’t take up much room in a normal sized handbag.

Once you open the case a small leaflet with instructions for use is sitting on the top. I found this really useful and if I didn’t read it I most likely would have applied this product incorrectly.It even has small pictures to help with guidance and the instructions are in French and English (I used the English which may seem obvious but I don’t want to leave any doubts). Once I had read over the instructions, which actually state to do one eye completely and then do the other, I saw the product for the firs time. It looks like most other mascara bottles, only there’s two in a case being held in. One bottle is slightly longer than the other (Transplanting gel is longer), and they both feel smooth and lightweight and it is extremely easy to hold both of them at the same time. The inside of the case is also lined with what feels like a velvety material and it also has the company logo on the top lid. 

So to apply the mascara, first you need to brush the transplanting gel over your lashes so that the fibres will stick on. This just means add one coat of the gel to your lashes, at this point I already noticed extra length on my lashes. While the gel is still wet you need to apply the fibres. These are also very easy to apply, but care should be taken so unlike me you don’t get any in your eye! After each layer of fibres you need to add transplanting gel, if you want your lashes to look longer or more full, you can keep repeating the process of gel, fibres, gel, fibres. I myself only done it twice as I then felt they were good enough. Once you do this on each eye you have your 3D fibre lashes!

I was very happy with the results and feel it worked out very well. I got more than I expected as I didn’t believe they would actually work and they did. I would recommend this product, but only if you want to have a false lash affect without the false lashes, I also know this isn’t an affordable option for everyone as it is a hefty price tag for a mascara. However it is covered in Younique’s 14 day money back guarantee so if you bought it, used it and didn’t love it you can send it back within 14 days and get a full refund no questions asked.

Also for anyone who wants more information on working with Younique or Avon just comment down below, I can help you as much as possible if you have any questions. Also if you have this mascara let me know what you thought! Maybe you didn’t like it or found that it ran out quickly or if you loved it too!

Until Next Time
