Review: Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara

If you check Facebook pretty regularly then you've probably seen posts about Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara in your newsfeed. I was pretty intrigued by it so when Stephanie reached out to me to review it for my blog, I was eager to test it out.

I had seen lots of before and after photos on Facebook and wondered if I'd have such dramatic results, too.

This product delivers lush, long full lashes---but I think technique is key here. You kind of have to play around with it to determine what your best application will be.

I like to use one coat of transfer gel, one coat of fibers and then finish off with a second coat of transfer gel. Some people use a regular coat of mascara before applying the first layer of transfer gel, but Stephanie actually gave me a heads-up to try it without regular mascara because it tends to look dramatic yet still natural.

Younique 3D fiber lashes can make your lashes look clumpy if you aren't careful in your application. I'm usually a one coat and done type person with my regular mascara, so this was a little more time consuming, but well worth it on days where you want a little more drama and don't want to use Latisse or false lashes/lash extensions. 

Below I'm posting photos with descriptions---I did one eye with regular mascara + the Younique fiber lashes and the other with just the Younique fiber lashes.

Okay, so here are my lashes, just curled with a lash curler and nothing else on them:

Here is my eye with just the transfer gel and fiber lashes (NO regular mascara as a base coat):

...and here is the eye with the extra coat of regular mascara (I used DiorShow as seen above) + Younique 3D fiber lashes

As you can see, with the extra coat of regular mascara, it can get a bit clumpy if you aren't careful. This can be remedied with technique and I've only been testing it out for a little over a week so I could use some more practice. One thing I really appreciate about this mascara is that though it's not a waterproof formula, it doesn't weigh down my lashes like most regular mascaras do so my lashes can stay curled.

Here are some shots of my full face from a little further away so you can see the effect:

Lip Loves: L'Oreal Color Caresse Wet Shine Stain & Maybelline Color Whisper

I haven't reviewed beauty products in what seems like an eternity so I'm so excited to share a couple of products with you that I've been using recently that are deserving of a review.

As you all know, my makeup routine is the exact same everyday. I use the same products and apply them the same way.  The one exception to this is lip products. I find myself trying new lip products more than any other makeup products.  I get less attached to lip products and always want to try the new lip gloss or lipstick whereas I don't feel the same thrill to try a new foundation or bronzer (in fact, I can be downright reluctant to).

Two products have impressed me recently. The first is L'Oreal's Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain.  It was an impulse buy at the grocery store and since I hadn't bought makeup in months, I thought, why not? I'm so glad I got it because I absolutely love it (and it was on sale too!)

It's basically applies like a stain, but shines like a gloss.  It doesn't give the super-shine look like most glosses do, but that's what I love about it. The shine is more subtle, but it's still glossy and has the look of a gloss, without feeling too sticky or heavy. The texture is lovely and it is long-lasting. I put it on every morning before I leave the house!

Mine is in the color "Pink Perseverance." It's a beautiful soft pink. You can buy it here.

The second lip product I'm enjoying is Maybelline's new Color Whisper gloss. It's similar to Revlon's lip butters, but truthfully, I like this one better. I like how it gives a very sheer color to the lips and I like the way it feels. It doesn't have a residue at all and it feels balmy. Perhaps what I appreciate most about it is that 

I got the color "Petal Rebel." The color is a pretty pink---but not a baby pink (which is what a lot of my glosses are). You can buy it here.

Have you tried any new products lately that you love? Or have you tried the ones I've reviewed here? Leave me your comments below!

Thank you for reading!
