Review: Fiberwig Mascara (brown)

This is one of the most popular mascaras in Japan. I’ve seen it all over their magazines. From my trip to Asia, I purchased one to try it out!

Sadly, I chose brown because i thought the black one would give me overdramatic lashes for office wear. This is also the whole reason behind my regret.

Fiberwig lengthens lashes, and does not give volume. So…because mine is brown, my lashes appear even lesss “thick”. However, it really does make my lashes longer. I can see the length increasing in every layer i applied. If only i bought the black one eh? Unless you’re a fan of really natural lashes, go for the brown one. But as for asians, i think it’s better to go with the black one.

Oh and it’s waterproof and smudge-proof and yet so easy to remove with any oil cleanser!

Will i go purchase the black one then? No. It’s so overpriced here, like almost 30$. I’m recently loving drugstore mascaras. They are working so well! 🙂

Oh by the way, I’m so against with people saying “oh it’s worth if you buy an high end mascara, i mean it’s 30$ , that’s like 3 drugstore mascara, Just buy less of that”

But if you do calculations….it’s not exactly worth it. (unless your high end mascara is reaaaally THAT good, but honestly, drugstore mascara are amazing as well)

So to prove my point (only pricing wise, i’m ignoring the happiness factors that the high end mascara will make it worth it)

High end mascara: 30$
Drugstore mascara: 10$

Need 4 mascara every year (if we follow the rule of tossing it every 3 months) assuming that we’re faithful with this mascara

High end mascara: 30$ x 4 = 120$
Drugstore mascara: 10$ x 4 = 40$

That basically means 80$ every year that you could have spent on something else. Does the 80$ really justify the “worth it” factor to go for that mascara? Does it make such a huge difference? hmmm… well if you got no financial problems, go ahead and spurge away! But would it be wiser to spend that 80$ elsewhere?

(80$ may not sound a lot…but if you were to implicate a few years into the equation…it sums up a lot)

    i mean work* i wouldnt consider fiberwig high-end at least in japan. it’s more like drugstore-ish here. but fiberwig is so long-lasting – it’s the only mascara that doesnt smudge on my very oily eye lids. i guess it depends on much value you put on a product 🙂
