Difficult and Ineffective!
I've mentioned several times before that I want long, lush, glossy eyelashes--the kind that Scarlett O'Hara used to charm men. I do have several mascaras which I like a lot (Benefit's "They're Real!," Lancôme's "Definicils," the version by Ellis Faas, Buxom's effective formula, and Lancôme's "Hynôse Custom Volume," just for starters). When DJV Beautenizer came out with their "Fiberwig Mascara," ($22.00), I was over the moon. Finally, I could have the color, length, and volume I have been trying to achieve since junior high school! This mascara contains tiny fibers to allegedly double the look of your own lashes. It forms a "film coating" to prevent smudging. The active ingredients include panthenol, hydrolyzed silk, and a root extract to nourish beautiful lashes. Moreover, it is free of harmful sulfates, phthalates, and synthetic dyes and fragrances. That's where the beauty ended for me. The brush is an awkward, concave shape which you are supposed to place at the root of your lashes, sweeping upward in a wiggling manner in order to coat lashes with the protective film. In order to add length, you are supposed to apply the fibers of this product to the ends of your own lashes until you reach a desired length (much easier said than done). Lower lashes are to be coated by using the protruding side of the brush in the same wiggling manner. The company suggests using an eyelash curler if needed once the product has dried. I have lots of problems with this. I don't have this much time in my daily routine for multiple manipulations on my lashes with a hard-to-use brush. I would NEVER curl lashes after applying mascara, as this has a tendency to remove your natural lashes (and they may never grow back). Despite the extra fibers, I saw LITTLE increase in volume or length. I tried working with it several times before I gave up. This is simply not worth the time nor the money. I returned it. — 3 weeks, 6 days agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

I was really excited about this product... but it's a little weird.
I wanted to love this mascara. I was excited about the concept of fibers lengthening my lashes, and it being waterproof and easy to remove. However, the brush shape means that too much mascara gets glopped onto my lashes. Wiping it down helps a bit, but also wipes off some fibers. I had the best results by layering one coat of Fiberwig LX and one coat of a regular mascara with a big bristle brush--my lashes look super long and shiny--but it's just too much work to make it a part of my everyday routine! While it is fairly waterproof, it isn't as easy to remove as it claims. You won't need eye makeup remover (it might actually take longer if you do use it), but you will have to give your lashes a good rub to get all of the plasticky bits of mascara off (it comes off in clumps, instead of dissolving like most mascaras). I won't be repurchasing this. — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Long Lasting
I really love this mascara because it doesn't clump and it adds length to my lashes. The brush coats every lash and seperates them for a great look. This lasted all day and kept my eyes looking amazing. — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
