at-a-glance: mascara-like delivery system of small fibers to use between coats of mascara to give an extension-like effect to lashes
ingredients: cellulose, panthenol, vitamin e.
price: $30-$39, depending on your retailer
how it went down:
A friend of mine gave me this product and I was like... no way. This can not work. I was a little scared that it might give me spider legs... I love lush lashes...but not over volumized. My go to mascara is Sephora's Lash Stretcher mascara that already contains fibers, so I was apprehensive about using it with the DivaDerme, so I used MAC Cosmetics' Pro Lash, which is more of a basic mascara. I applied it to fresh, wet mascara by slowly moving up the lashes from root to tip. The first time I used it, I got fibers all over my face and into my eyes**. So on the next eye, I tilted my head down slightly and alleviated this problem. I also like to use a tissue under my eye to catch any runaways.
the verdict? This stuff is insane. I am an avid user of falsh lashes, and with this, I really don't need them anymore.
my tips:
Use on fresh wet mascara. Allow the first coat to dry with the extension on it before apply the next coat to seal them in, this way you don't pull any off with your brush while they are still wet.
For even more drama, place tissue under lashes and apply the fibers to the top of the lashes too! Absolutely ridiculous volume and length.
Try using a basic mascara like Great Lash or MAC's Prolash to avoid over-clumpiness.
worth it? definitely..it looks like the bottle will last a while and whatever you spend on it...you'll make up for it by not buying false lashes!
**I don't know if they claim safe for contacts, but I wear contacts and haven't had any issues.
