You all know that we’re part Japanese, right?
One-quarter to be exact.
While some people can instantly see the asian in us, many people have no idea. That is, until they see our eyelashes. We’ve whined about them before, and we’ll most certainly whine about them again, but waaaaah! our lashes suck.
This morning we finally tried Japan’s number one selling mascara, Imju Fiberwig, that claims to create “false eyelash-like” results with its fiber-filled formula.
Hmmmm. If it’s good enough for the Japanese girls, it has to be good enough for us, no?
NO.
We are sadly disappointed in this mascara. While it does slightly lengthen lashes with its tiny fibers, they point off our natural lash tips in different directions giving us a look we’re not particularly keen on sporting.
After 4 coats of this, our lashes were slightly longer with no volume whatsoever. Also, it did not hold the curl we had crimped into our lashes with our new Shu Uemura eyelash curler, leaving us with our normal stick-straight lashes.
With no time to remove and re-apply our makeup, we turned to our favorite pair of Brown Cross lashes and we’re now good to go.
Our cousin, Cindi, just moved to Japan last month and we’re going to ask her to scoop this out for us. Is it really the must-have mascara in Japan? Because, really, we find it hard to believe.
