PF eye booster mascara?

[MrsPotatohead]

Just saw a vlog about this stuff:



Any of you tried it?  I'll admit, I'm obsessed with my lashes and care the most about how they look for some reason. The first vlog I watched loved it and looked great, the others I saw were sort of mixed reviews, although they mostly complained about the mess, which is not really what I care about if it works, you can easily brush off the excess.

ETA: posted the wrong pic, this is the stuff I want to know about "Instant lash extension kit"

If your question is referencing the eyeliner (not mascara?), I do like it a lot. I have long lashes to begin with but in general I love how the liner applies (I love the jumbo one right now).

Oh interesting, my question is more about the mascara.  I didn't know about the eyeliner, what's special about it?

ETA: realized I posted the wrong pic!  going to fix it...

lol Ok, I have an obsession w/PF branded stuff, but i've actually not tried that mascara. I'd love to though, their mascaras are awesome!

I've never really been good at applying liquid liner and the PF liquid liners are pretty dummy-proof IMO.

ok, well that's good to know, I might try that next time I need one!

I've been a fairly loyal L'Oreal mascara buyer, but the results were pretty amazing for some people, so I'm curious... It's obviously more expensive though so it might not be an every day thing, but would totally beat wearing false lashes if it works like it says it does for a special occasion or something.

So that is basically what Younique is. I have used that and like it. So I would probably like this as well.

Yeah, I saw someone mention that this was a less expensive version?  I haven't tried Younique either.

My biggest question is whether this would weigh down my hard to curl lashes...

[phoenixrising]

With Younique, the fibers are not heavy at all. I don't curl my eyelashes (I am lazy), but mine do not get weighted down.

[frannyr]

is the Younique really as great as the people selling it want you to believe? I really dislike the Younique eyeshadows I bought.

[phoenixrising]

I think the Younique does what it says, but it is expensive. I don't plan to repurchase when I am out of it.

I had to try this and wanted to pass on my feedback. It was hard to find. Only cvs by me carried it and it was $$$ for a ds brand (almost $17 after tax).

The fibers got everywhere but I was expecting that and they brushed off my face easily but I felt like a ton got on my eyeball. I think I need to practice my technique to get the better results. The results were similar to my reg Korres mascara and nothing earth shattering yet.

xokell2 thank you! I tried to find it last weekend, but couldn't So yeah, hard to find. Thanks for your review, if I do try it I'll also report back. Did you try layering it more than once? I think the tutorial I watched she did it like 2 or 3 times. Her lashes did look amazing, but I imagine this would be the type of thing that would get better with practice.

So I found the fallout to be less if you tap stray fibers off the wand first. It also went on better for me with my regular mascara under it. Here's a side by side with two coats and my reg mascara

xokell2 wow impressive! it looks just like the vlogger I saw! At least for me it would be a bit much on a daily basis, but would be fun (and way less obnoxious than false lashes) for a night out!

I tried this too! I got it at Ulta with the 20%off coupon. I'll have to try it with my regular mascara, I felt like a fair amount ended up on my eye with theirs. The fallout wiped away very easily. I like it! Would definitely buy again- with a coupon!

[bunnies]

I've never heard of this until reading this post - so I just went out and bought some at Bed Bath and Beyond with a 20% off coupon....will report back with my findings. :-)

[bunnies]

I'm back - I dig it. I have long lashes naturally, but they're not very thick. This stuff made them even longer than normal, and look more thick. I'm impressed....it ended up being $11 at Bed Bath and Beyond with my 20% coupon + tax.

ETA - it was't super messy for me because I tapped A LOT of the fiber off before I applied...and also used it over the sink. The small amount on my cheeks was easily brushed off with a big powder brush. The fibers look like black lint.

yay!  I'm glad you liked it - I didn't think to check BB&B, but maybe I'll try this weekend (so far I haven't been able to find it...).  I thought it was funny how so many vloggers complained about the fallout when I thought what you did would make the most sense, especially if it actually worked.  Hope I can get some!

MrsPotatohead Another thought to add - the formula isn't brittle or hard. It's still very flexible (several hours later) and not heavy, at all.

oh great! that's good to know since my lashes don't hold curl well if it's heavy

Does anybody know how this would compare to youniques 3d lashes? Besides the cheaper price point. I already own the younique and love them for special occasions.
