As I’ve mentioned before, I was a bit of a tomboy growing up. I never really got into makeup as a teenager or while I was in college. Thinking back, I don’t think I’ve worn mascara more than 50 times in my entire life (and that’s including dance recitals when I was seven, high school plays, AND my wedding). With that said, I’m almost 30 and I’m starting to feel like maybe I should try at least a little to, you know, look nice.
I had heard good things about Fiberwig, a Japanese mascara, so I ordered it from Amazon around Christmas time. I really like it. I have very Korean eyelashes: stick-straight and short. But this mascara has little fibers in it that grab onto your lashes and extends them out. And it doesn’t flake off or smudge and give you raccoon eyes. It’s pretty pricey ($22) but if I’m going to go through the hassle of curling my lashes and putting on mascara then I want to at least use something that’s going to look good all day.
Does anyone else have a mascara they really like? I’d love to find a (cheaper) drugstore product that I like as well as Fiberwig.
I am glad you tried fiberwig! I have been too wimpy to pay that much for mascara without a good recommendation. As for mascara that I like- I have been using covergirl volume exact mascara for a long time. I love the wand! The mascara itself does flake off, which I hate. I haven’t tried waterproof- maybe it’s less flaky.
Thanks for the recommendation–I must try this! I always get raccoon eyes when I wear mascara.
Hmm…maybe I’ll try the waterproof version of that Covergirl mascara you like, Mindy. I forgot to mention in my post that Fiberwig seems pretty waterproof but it comes off easily when you wash your face and rub your eyes with warm water. *Sigh* Fiberwig, why must you be so dreamy AND so expensive?
