Review: Imju Fibrewig Lash Mascara

Posted on 02. May, 2009 by Valerie in Eyes, Makeup

At the risk of adding another mascara tube hitched with the promise of thicker, fuller lashes that threaten to blow anyone away (literally) within a 5 mile radius to my already burgeoning mascara stash (I have ten unused mascaras in my makeup box), I had better get to heaping praise onto this tube that may become a staple in my beauty box.

All hail the mascara from the land of all things quirky, weird, random and occasionally mostly very expensive; the land of sushi and as you know it, The Rising Sun.

Because I am a fuss-free, no hassle, minimalist, easy-peasy kinda person, what I really like about this mascara is that it offers a one-time application that lasts throughout the day! I dont have to worry about re-application (unless I want my lashes to eventually claim the title of Great Wall of China 2) nor do I have to worry about my look rapidly turning fresh, clean-faced to flaky emo-goth eyes.

How this mascara works is the little bits of fibre which cling to your lashes and extends them like an eyelash extension job would. This time, however, the extending is done DIY and in the comfort of your own home.

On top of that, I really like no flakes littering my bottom lids at the end of the day and having my lashes are still prettily curled. HOORAY! To top if it, did I mention that there are NO CLUMPS?

The look achieved: clean, long natural looking feathery lashes that look made up but not over the top.

After a long day of wearing Fibrewig Mascara.

I like my lashes a little more plumped up seeing how often I complain about their anorexic state. Although the mascara doesnt give the 5x volume other mascaras promise, it comes off easily with warm water (read: no need for oil based make-up removers that may clog your pores). But because it’s water-resistant, stays on when in contact with tears or rain! How innovatively simple!

For SGD$25 a tube, I might just be throwing out my other white supposedly fibrewig primer mascaras and use this instead.
