Younique - Moodstruck 3D Fibre
Lashes
Okay so I
bought this mascara quite a few months ago now, in the peak of its viral
selling. It cost me £30 with p&p from America, approximately the same as it
does now. I was extremely sceptical, as with many things that suddenly become
uber popular on the internet, but I’ve always had depressingly short eyelashes
so thought I had nothing to lose.
The product
comes in two parts: the transplanting gel and the natural fibres. Both were
beautifully packaged in a glasses case-style box, and I was thoroughly
surprised when it arrived as it all felt really good quality.
Application
was a lot simpler than anticipated, also. After a few attempts, I got from 5
minutes per eye to 5 minutes total. It also definitely made an extreme difference,
and I would argue that this product does rival false eyelashes as it is
noticeably lighter to wear, and undeniably less irritating! My initial
reactions are all positive, loving the look they give and their quality. Here
are my results:
(Disclaimer - I know my eyebrows need plucking!)
Despite
this, a few hours later I found a big fault which means I will not be
repurchasing this product, nor wearing it very often. I found that, no matter
how hard I tried to cover all the fibres with the transplanting gel, fibres
always managed to fall out into my eye, leaving me half blind with eyes
streaming. At first I thought this was just due to my lack of skill with the
product, but after trying it for multiple days, in different environments, it didn’t
matter if I was sat at a desk all day or out in high winds, the fibres never
fully stayed in place.
For me, this
was the deal breaker with this product and why it stays, almost full, in its
case away in my makeup drawer. As much as I do rely on makeup daily, I still
prefer comfort over aesthetic and this product became too uncomfortable too
fast. Both application and removal of the product was simple and easy, but the
time in between was greatly uncomfortable.
