Fiberwig Mascara

Overall rating: 5

Price: 4.5

Package Quality: 4

Would you buy again: Yes


Bought this product out of curiosity. Its a huge seller at Ala Moana, Sephora in Hawaii. It is ichi ban in Japan. This is the first time I have ever wiped mascara off my eyebrows!!! Freak show lashes. I wear contacts, too. No flaking into my contacts. Once I washed the stuff off my eyebrows, it was awesome. It has fibers- I kept letting them dry and re working just the tips-till I hit my eyebrows. Took a while. (maybe 20 minutes). Dries slow. Came off with cream makeup remover. ( I used Yes to Carrots)

I did curl my lashes first. I know some people use mascara after, as well.... I also tried with Maybelline XXL primer, combed my lashes, and use Maybelline waterproof over the entire project and went out and stood in a storm. Eyelashes intact! (We had 3 weeks nonstop storms here in Hawaii.)

This is an stellar mascara. Its made by a company called Imju.

General Comments on this product: Bought it because of all the hype and rave reviews. Nothing special, for me... It made my eyelashes look crunchy and clumped together like crazy. It lengthened them (not much more than other ones I've use, though) but made them look so unnatural and spidery.. I never finished the tube, just bought a different mascara :x

Oh dear. I really thought this would work for me because it's a hit in Japan where all the Asian girls are at, and I generally LOVE Japanese mascaras anyhow.

Price was alright (I hear it's pricey at Sephora), but I got it for $98HKD, which comes to about $13USD.

Oh boy, I tried this and I absolutely HATED IT! I always curl my lashes before applying mascara, and sometimes I go out with just curled lashes. I don't have a problem with holding a curl (even without any mascara own) like most other Asian girls do and I consider myself to be lucky.

However, putting Fiberwig mascara on top of my beautifully Shiseido-curled lashes just...made them fall completely flat, even straighter than my originally, uncurled lashes. So it's a complete waste if you have added length to your lashes from the fibers if you can't even see it because your lashes are stick-straight!

No other mascara has ever done this to me before, and that seriously makes me shocked. I've never been a mascara aficionado, thinking they all performed pretty similarly, but this mascara has made me in a believer of bad mascaras.

But I have spent my money on this already, so I think Fiberwig would be a good mascara on top of another one that doesn't completely obliterate the curl in my lashes. And it's really easy to remove (just use some warm water and it slides right off).

This was horrible. Would never, EVER repurchase again.

If you're one who's more into a natural look during the day and yet want some POW for your lashes, this is IT. I for one LOVE IT. It lengthens like no tomorrow and yet still looks like there's no mascara. Doesn't smudge at all, and the fibers come off easily with warm water (with cold water it takes a bit more effort). With it, I was able to extend my lashes to twice its original length, seriously!! I got it to lift, hold the curl and stay in place without having to use a mascara base. I got it cheap too, there's this website based in HongKong which sources from Japan, and they sell it for $12 which is almost $10 cheaper than in Sephora. This is definitely for short lashed gals. The only thing I didn't like was the fibers get 'disturbed' when using another mascara on top of it, so i guess its better as a finisher. Otherwise, it's awesome.

I'd been using this mascara for a couple of years and only stopped because I moved and couldn't get it anymore. Now that I'm back in a country where I can get hold of this wonderful mascara, I'm using it again to the exclusion of anything else. I love this mascara. It doesn't smudge and it stays on, no matter the weather. I usually apply several coats, building on nearly dry or dry coats.

Would you buy again: Yes, probably.

This is my second tube. Most mascaras smudge on me, but this stays on and its really easy to wash off. I love it. However, it does nothing to curl my lashes.... well, it lengthens my lashes but it does not add any volume nor curl to it...nothing amazing. I prefer the majolica's mascara (waaaay more).

repurchase: yes, I have twice already!

I'm nearing the end of my second tube, and I've got my third on hand!
I can get very natural looking lashes with this mascara, no other mascara has gotten me compliments from my bf (he actually notices and says 'your lashes look really nice!)!
I haven't tried majolica's yet, I recently brought a tube, so I'll be trying that when I finish my Fiberwig!
Only thing wit fiberwig is that if I take my time and keep adding at the tips, I can get really really long lashes, but it doesn't add volume and it doesn't curl, so if I try to lengthen too much my eyelashes can look spidery

Fiberwig certainly has lots of fibers. They look fairly long and once you figure out the technique they are easy to apply. One thing i must say is that figerwig does NOT volumize in any way shape or forum. It's a very thin formula. I usually apply it over something like lash injection or loreal voluminous. Apply it a couple times all over the lash (zig zagging motion) and then you can just brush repeatedly over the tips. It really does lengthen though
