Younique 3D Fiber Lashes vs Clinique High Impact Mascara

Younique 3D Fiber Lashes vs Clinique High Impact Mascara

In the hunt for the perfect long voluminous lashes you have to try a lot of different mascaras to see which one works best for you. So when Younique brought out the 3D Fiber Lashes they were a hit! In this I will be comparing them to my favourite mascara I've found gives me long lashes. In this first part I will be talking about the Younique mascara then I will talk about the comparison to the Clinique mascara. 

 The first thing you see when the box arrives is how nice the packaging is! There are two sets of instructions one on the box and a handy carry along set for when you want to keep the pouch with you. For applying to this mascara I've found it is easier to control the lashes and make sure they don't stick together if you already have a thin layer of regular mascara on else your natural lashes do then to clump together. The transplanting gel is a jet black colour and you do need to act fast between putting the first coat of the transplanting gel on and using the other wand with the actual 3D fibers on else it will dry and I would advise the first layer of the fibres to be a thin one else you can end up with too much on making them thick. After you've got your fibers on you lock them in and make the lashes look smooth by using the transplanting gel over the top again. If you want to make them look even bigger you can layer up by repeating the process until you're happy. I only used one layer as I did use two before and they were too clumpy for my liking (I prefer the more sleek natural yet longer lashes). I do find that the fiber brush always is packed with them and I have seen my sister using it before and some of the fibers actually dropping in her eyes! (ouch) so you can brush some of them off beforehand onto a cotton pad and always use the brush to collect them back again to use.

Taking them off is a bit of a challenge so I would recommend making sure you use actual make up remover and a cotton pad and be gentle! I've lost a few of my natural lashes being too rough trying to get this off! Baby wipes don't seem to do much against this mascara and I have had a shower and not removed them coming out they hadn't smudged at all! If you forget to take it off before bed you wake up looking like you've just put some fresh mascara on (I wouldn't recommend doing this but you forget occasionally). This is a bit of a tricky mascara to use with the chance of fibers falling in your eyes but when you do it a few times then you start to get the hang of it! I normally use the transplanting gel and have the fiber brush in my other hand ready to use straight away to make sure it will stick to the gel and the gel will still be wet. If you're looking for something new to try then I would defiantly recommend using this! It does take longer than regular mascara but if you're getting ready for a night out then this would be a perfect edition to add to your going out routine!. This is $29 per set but is worth the money.

Clinique High Impact Mascara is one of my favourite every day mascaras that I can also build on for a great going out look! It is a nice gel black and the wand (standard) is easy to use to separate lashes and it drys quickly. You can get a little smudges under your eye from this mascara if it is damp outside or it rains but apart from that it stays put. I like how big it makes my lashes look and how they stay separate all day. If you want a good lengthening and voluminous mascara then I would highly recommend this. It comes off easy with baby wipes or general make up remover. I got two of these in a set with make up remover at duty free on the way back from Spain June 2016 and this is currently the second one I have gone through. You can see how much I use it from how faded the writing has started to go on the tube. The mascara on its own cost $17.50.

Compared to the 3D fiber lashes it is defiantly a tough one. I love both of them, Clinique being my every day and bottom coat for the Younique one and the Younique one being more of a going out or heavy eye make up day. I can say that since I've brought the Younique one I haven't brought any fake eyelashes to wear for going out as I use this instead! It does have a good finish as well just like the Clinique one but it does last a lot longer and is a lot harder to get off! I can't say that one is better than the others but I will let you decide from the photograph instead.
