Mia Adora 3D Fibre Lash Mascara & Non-Toxic Hypoallergenic Ingredients

First, let me preface by saying that I'm not one for taking the time to write a review. I read them; but I just don't write them. Yes, I know, I'm a hypocrite. But hey, people CAN change you know. So, don't judge. LOLNow let's get down to brass tacks. By that, I'm talking about this phenomenal 2-step 'kit' called 3D Fiber Lash Mascara by Mia Adora which I so eloquently refer to as the grandeur of greatness, the monumental miracle mascara, the cornucopia of cosmetics,the luxuriance of lash enhancements ....you get the idea. Moving onward.A little background on yours truly (YES, it's relevant, be patient.). I'm a 50 y/o woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. Though, I seemed to have been cursed at birth with short & stubby eye lashes. Needless to say, since I began wearing makeup, I've spent a small fortune on just about every brand and/or type of mascara you can think of in order to attain the desired results. Whether it claims to lengthen, magnify, increase volume, etc., I've tried it all. And I don't know about you, but spending on average 20-30 minutes per day just to get that oh-so important desired look gets really old after awhile....even when you're my age (trust me, I need all the help I can get). I've come to learn that even the tiniest sacrifices can be proven the most beneficial, which is why I keep subjecting myself to such pointless torture. Otherwise, one could easily get me confused with a hairless, wet cat. You get the idea.Several years go by, and even more trial & error (actually, more error than trials), I finally decided to give false lashes a try. So, with a little experimentation and a lot of patience gluing those little suckers on, I managed to cut my prep time in half AND I had the look I've been trying to attain since I was first allowed to wear make up. Hallelujah! Happy dance!!Well, wouldn't you know it, just as I'm finally content with everything the way it is, the evil eyelash fairy decided to curse me yet again to where I recently started having some type of allergic reaction to the lash glue. Seriously, like WTF??? I've been using the same brand since the dawn of time. It's not like I'm living life on the edge by experimenting with different glues, quite the contrary. When I find a brand I like, I stick with it. (There's something to be said about loyalty.) Anyway, both of my lids have since gone from being soft & moisturized with the illusion of having long eyelashes of my very own, to being short & stubby again. This isn't fair; I'm now back to being aggravated. What's worse, is that the lash line of my upper lids are now irritated and dry as a result of the glue (still scratching my head over that one since the glue hasn't changed). Not only am I back to looking like a hairless cat again, but because of the scaling (due to the dryness & irritation), I now look like a hairless cat with snake eyes. Lovely.Still with me?? (Lol)Well. fast forward to last week. A coworker and I were critiquing our own imperfections over lunch one day and we somehow ended up talking about this latest craze of 3D lashes and other available options (lash extensions by salon, buying cosmetics through a consultant/MLM, supplements, etc). Don't get me wrong, those options might be suitable for others, just not for me. Personally, going to a salon for a mani/pedi is one thing, going for lash add-ons is another. (I'm old school, remember?)Upon completion of lunch and 'Lash 101', I began researching this 3D lash fiber thing further. It peaked my interest. So, the engineer in me went on a fact finding mission leaving no stone unturned. Whether it was reading reviews, looking up blogs, checking out the Top 10 lists by various industry experts, judging before & after pics, I pretty much exhausted all avenues (well, except for looking to the Greek Gods or summoning the dead for advice. Didn't want to push my luck)Out of all the brands I researched on line, the only one that really had my attention and peaked my curiosity was this one. So, I ordered it. And since I have an Amazon Prime account, I'll get free 2-day shipping. Score! Our mail carrier shows up on Sunday morning with my delivery. I was so excited to get my package, that I didn't even care to put on my robe first prior to greeting USPS at the front door. Rather, I greeted him wearing my lazy Sunday morning ensemble (which consisted of a knee length nightshirt and my fuzzy gorilla slippers (with one slipper missing an eyeball..thanks to my dog). At that moment, I felt like I was reliving Christmas morning from my childhood days, albeit at 50 years old. (I know, I have issues. But hey, priorities.)I hurriedly opened my package, examined the items in the kit itself and made a beeline path to my bathroom vanity where my magnifying mirror was prepped and ready. Let the transformation begin!!Approximately 30 minutes later (and 'ping-ponging' back and forth from one eye to the other), I successfully recreated the results that I was so hoping to attain -which was to recreate the look I had with the false lashes. But, with the 3D fiber lashes mascara on my OWN lashes instead. I'll admit, I'm quite the skeptic when comes to quick fixes, miracle products, promises of change, etc., etc. So, I was apprehensive. The way I see it, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. However, every once in a while something new & exciting comes along boasting how great they are, why you should buy it, how it will change your life, why you can't live without it, and so on. And, as cynical as I am about things, this product even has ME sold -hook, line and sinker! In fact, I have yet to shut up about this little 2-step wonder (so much that I'm driving my husband crazy over it; guess I better hide the duct tape, haha). I haven't been this excited since I first discovered something called "BB cream". (I told you, I'm old school. Don't judge.).There, now you have it. Mia Adora's 3D Fiber Lash Mascara is the best thing since sliced bread (oh, and BB cream). Even with high expectations of my own, I now consider myself a fan for life.See, I told you....people CAN change. I no longer consider myself a hairless wet cat...AND, I can now say that I've written my first review. You're welcome.Meow. :-)Editor's note: I've attached three photos of myself so you can see for yourself. The first one is my ugly mug without any eye/makeup whatsoever, the second photo shows my own lashes with the 3D fiber lash mascara application, the third is of me with my false lashes on (the look I was trying to attain with the 3D fibers). I think it's safe to say that I nailed it!Thanks for taking the time to read my inaugural review. I hope you found it informative and entertaining.

The best mascara. I used to use Lancôme for years before this.If you want long lashes that look like you’re wearing fake lashes, this can do that! Once you figure out the process of getting your base coat on, applying the silk fibers and then reapplying the mascara, you can control the length of your lashes and if your patient and good at it, they can go really long. You can also make them thicker if that is what you need.This mascara stays put until you wash it off. It washes off with normal face wash and doesn’t require special makeup remover. It comes off clean and doesn’t flake off while you’re wearing it.This is for those of us who love big, long Old Hollywood eyelashes, but don’t want to deal with fake eyelashes.It’s easy to use, a high quality product comparable with all of the high end brands I have used over the years. What sets it apart are the separate tube of silk fibers that you apply. Learn to apply properly and it’s worth the results.

UPDATE: a mia adora customer service rep replied to my email within hours and they have offered to send me a brand new tube and refund my purchase cost. In eager to see if the new tube is just as great as most of the reviews here imply. Excellent customer service though!SO dissapointed. I recieved this today and I was so excited to get it. Well it was incredibly difficult to remove the wand from the fiber tube (step 2). I finally freed it and the wand was bent and curled in on itself. When it came out I lost a HUGE clump of fibers that ended up on my countertop. I managed to straighten the wand but soon discovered why it was bent in the first place. The fibers are all crammed in the bottom of the tube and it's impossible to get the wand back in without bending it all up. I have shaken and tapped the tube trying to loosen up the fibers and they won't budge. I went ahead and tried to apply the system to my eyelashes per their instructions and I'm not impressed. It just looks like I applied several coats of my good old maybelline soft and full mascara ( love that stuff btw). I'm not sure if I'm not getting optimal results since I can't even get any out of the bottom of the tube or what..... ugh I never spend this much on makeup. Lesson learned!!!!March 2017 updateI recieved a replacement product very quickly. After a bit of practice I gotta say I like this product. And have updated my score to 4 stars. I prefer to start with my maybelline full n soft waterproof mascara. Then I use this fiber lash system. I prefer to use only one coat of fibers. I find that it gets too clumpy if I use more than 1 coat. I have average length lashes naturally so this does help give my eyes a nice natural looking pop. I'll probably buy it again!

I'll try not to make this too wordy, but I have a tendency to ramble, so sorry in advance! LolI have relatively long lashes already with regular mascaras, but I can never get the fullness I need from anything I've purchased at the drug store. I've always wanted that kind of "dolly" effect that fake eyelashes have, without the hassle of gluing anything to my eyelids. I can say that I've pretty much accomplished that with this eyelash system.Be aware, there is a bit of a learning curve! Aside from the fact that I tend to jump ahead without reading all the directions first, I am also not the most coordinated person in the world, so I've gotten a fair amount of dry fibers in my eyes. But if you carefully apply the fibers halfway through your lashes, you can get some pretty good volume and length going. This is on top of the mascara itself, which already is very good at making lashes stand out. Once you've got a good coat going and have given it about half a minute to dry, you just put on a bit more mascara to protect the fibers, and it all kind of acts like a shell around each individual eyelash. You can even continue building layers until you've achieved the look you want, which I tend to do about 2-3 times to get some dolly lashes. Then you're good to go! Once you're done with your day you can just wet your eyes down with warm water and wipe it off with a makeup wipe or something. I never have a problem with taking it off.One of the things I love most about this mascara is that it never melts off or bleeds to my lower eyelids, which I have a major problem with when it comes to every mascara/eyeliner. I'd almost given up hope on finding something waterproof enough to stay in place through the day. But this product STAYS PUT and looks fabulous all day! So if you have oily eyelids which I apparently have, this system will work well for you and look great!In summary: easy-to-use, stays all day, looks great. Best mascara I've used so far! The packaging is lovely too, gives it a premium look on top of quality product. Will buy again!

Horrible !! There are 2 tubes in the package.One is the mascara, and the 2nd is the fiber mascara. The fiber mascara has actual little black fibers or dust lint strings that attracts to the mascara you apply 1st..I absolutely hate it!..I kept getting the fibers in my eyes , which caused nothing but irritation for me! NOT FOR ME!!
