d.j.v. MIARAY Fiberwig

This is my most favorite mascara I've ever tried to this date. I'm constantly trying new mascaras in search for the perfect one and this DJV Miaray Fiberwig is my top choice so far. It makes my straight & thin Asian eyelashes look as if I have falsies on. It's doesn't flake, smudge, and although it comes off extremely easy with only warm water, it's still waterproof in that it doesn't run if water lightly touches your eyelashes. The only complaint I have is that I liked their original formula better, the one before this version. The original mascara had the same name but the bottle was a red cylinder with a silver or rosey silver top. That formula was easier to layer on multiple coats to make your eyelashes very thick and dark. This new version might be just as good of a formula, but the brush is the main difference between the two mascaras. This new version has a brush that separates the eyelashes and prevents clumping, which is a great thing. However it also makes it difficult to layer multiple coats and therefore my eyelashes aren't as thick and dark as it once was. I still love this mascara because it gives the length I aim to achieve - I just have to use another mascara with a darker tint and thicker brush to coat over this mascara and really accentuate my lashes.

THis is the only makeup product that I will consistency spend money on and go out of my way to order online. For length, it is SO buildable I give it a 9/10. No mascara out there has ever REACHED the length this one gives me. I have tried everything in the drug store up to marc jacobs and Dior (Although marc jacobs is a super nice product too)! It does NOT give you volume, so I usually coat it with the essence "I love extreme volume mascara" (another product that I have found that gives you the best volume). Although this product is more than other typical drug store products, I keep going back to it. Another SUPER bonus is taking this mascara OFF! All you need to do is head in the shower and throw some warm water on your face and BAMN it comes right off in a rubbery product. I have actually found myself avoiding putting on makeup bc of how annoying taking certain mascaras off. Unlike other mascaras that leave you with black ink running down your face. In addition, this is the only mascara that my lashes dont come off with by using it several times a week! I wish this product was cheaper, but it is amazing and is my little hidden treasure. This mascara will forever be my beauty secret!!!!

I'm currently doing a tubing mascara showdown because I love tubing mascaras (why is anybody tolerating formulas that don't completely wash away?!). So far I've tried the Thrive one, Hourglass Unlocked, followed by this one. I went through a full tube of the others to really figure out what I liked/disliked, but I requested a refund on the Fiberwig after one use. PROS: •It's cheaper than the other two •More buildable without clumps CONS: •Took twice as long to apply •ZERO volume added. None. I have pretty "good" lashes, and they looked puny even with 2-3 coats. •Doesn't wash off like a normal tubing formula--instead of little chunks, it was a gummy, stringy mess. Overall, it was barely perceptible that I had applied mascara and didn't wash off well. WAY too expensive for this poor of a performance.

This is the BEST tubing mascara I’ve ever used. Application is smooth and it does not flake or clump (I get that issue a lot with other brands). I have very oily eyelids and this does not budge or smudge. This is the only tubing mascara that looks and FEELS good on my eyes, too. Looks natural and holds my curl for the whole day (I also curl my lashes before applying). Love this so much and will definitely buy again!

This mascara is the MOST comfortable I have used yet. Waterproof, for tears, not a full blown ugly cry session (but still doesn’t bleed, just slips off and can easily be brushed away). My lashes look long and thick and the best part is my eyes are comfortable and never irritated from this mascara. Super easy to remove! I wash my face as normal, with a light cleanser and clean washcloth, and the last thing I do is gently pull downwards a few times on my lashes while closed then pull upwards and back a few times with the cloth and mascara gone. No need for makeup remover! Just water and a washcloth.

I have used Fiberwig for years and loved it, so was intrigued seeing this new product from them. Unfortunately it just doesn't stick all that well to my lashes and it's not that rich deep black that I would get from the original fiberwig. You just keep applying and it didn't seem to build up the lashes. The pro side is the applicator is excellent, and it definitely kept the lashes beautifully separated. But I can't spend 20 minutes applying mascara if that's what it would take to get the effect they're claiming. I will say if you are looking for a more natural look, less heavy mascara look, this mascara will do that. But like others I guess my lashes just aren't as well suited to this product, as others here seemed really happy.

I absolutely love this product, but application does take patience and involves a learning curve. For whatever reason, there isn't any kind of gasket - or if there is, it's useless - inside the tube, so the brush comes out with glops of product needing to be wiped on the edge of the tube, before you can begin to apply. The mascara itself is amazing enough that I tolerate the extra time/effort needed to apply it. It makes SUCH a difference to the length of your lashes - a realistic difference, not 'fake lashes' look at all. Plus, it takes a soak of warm water to easily remove, but a bit of rain or light tearing won't bother them.

If you are looking for fat, clunky lashes (they call it "volume"), the product is NOT for you! If you are looking for added length and definition - Fiberwig will do exactly this, perfect fit for a relaxed everyday makeup. I use Latisse sporadically and the curler - always. You can add as many layers as you like if you want them fuller. And removing it is a breeze - you just wash your face with warm water and it comes off. No more pulling at delicate eyelid skin trying to dissolve conventional mascara. Came here to order what I think is my 6th tube and I don't think I'm switching to another brand anytime soon...

Has a not so nice smell. It does a good job but just not as much as I hoped for
