Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Wow! I've tried another fiber/mascara combo, and had decided they were too much trouble to be worth the little bit of added length/volume. Figured I'd give this one a go before I gave up and went back to regular mascara and I'm so glad I did! Much easier than the previous regimen of mascara / fiber / mascara / fiber / mascara / fiber / clump removal / fiber / mascara / and so on. I've included photos to show my results, because I really don't have a lot of eyelashes, and they're definitely not very long. The first photo is of no makeup at all, then the previous fiber/mascara combo I was using. The second photo is of my first attempt with this product. I have no doubt that with more practice I'll be able to achieve an even better look... today I actually had to remove some of the fibers after application because some of my lashes looked freakishly long. Next test is to see how long the product lasts, but my initial impression is that I won't need to shop around for new mascaras any more, because this is the best I've found! **Update** After using this for a week and a half, I've started to have problems with the applicator. The gel is starting to gather in the top of the container, meaning that when you pull out the applicator, the wand is COVERED with gel and makes a huge mess. The brush part is also partially covered, which means I end up with too much gel on my lashes, which means the fibers end up clumping a lot. I can still manage a nice look out of this mess, but it takes about twice as long because I have to keep stopping to clean everything up! I've tried storing it in an upright position, totally wiping down the wand and inside of the top, and even placing the (closed) tube of gel in hot water to try shaking the product down into the bottom of the tube. No luck. I'm wondering if I maybe got a "lemon"... I really love the product, but man, this mess is just too much to deal with every day. I've revised down to 3 stars, because I still think it's an awesome mascara, but I definitely should be able to get more than 10-13 uses from it. ***UPDATE #2*** Well I tried the mascara again, just on the off chance that the first tube I got was defective. Aaannnnd, turns out it was. I friggen love this mascara! I wish it lasted a bit longer than it does (I get about 3 weeks out of it before it starts going clumpy and the fibers stop sticking) but I will still use this stuff as long as they make it. AND, someone from the company contacted me the other day about my first update and offered to replace the faulty tube, so +1 for customer service, too!
