The Dream Lash Eyelash Enhancer

I've been using this brand of lash fiber extensions for at least 8 years, if I remember correctly-- since my last year of high school. They work just as well as other brands of lash fibers, and I love that they're already tinted black. I apply one coat of my go-to mascara (Milani's Lash Trifecta mascara), then while its still wet, apply my first coat of lash fibers, then repeat the process so that I use 4 coats of mascara total, and 3 layers of fibers, total. I always finish with a final coat of mascara last, to seal in all the fibers and to make sure they're covered completely. It really does allow you to create a look that's very similar to false lashes & lash extensions! I use this AND false lashes on top of it, because I'm obsessed with *huge* dramatic lashes, but for most people, this lash fiber paired with your favorite volumnizing mascara works just fine, to achieve the big "doe eyes" look :) It takes a couple of tries to figure out exactly how to apply the correct amount for the look you're trying to get, but its very easy once you know exactly how many coats you want.***FOR FELLOW CONTACT LENSE WEARERS***: PLEASE make sure to apply your first coat of mascara, then apply your layer(s) of lash fibers *over* a small mirror. So when you're applying the fibers, you hold a mirror horizontally, so that you're looking *down* at its surface, and then continue to lightly *pat* , not swipe, the fibers on to your lashes with the fiber wand. This way, the small compact or mirror will catch the excess fibers that will inevitably fall, and it'll make sure that the fibers end up on your little mirror, rather than in your eye, sandwiched in between your contact lense and eyeball. Trust me, I accidentally applied this product while having my head up, looking into the bathroom mirror, the first time I ever used it, and it HURT so badly, getting this in my eyes-- especially because I wear contacts. I had to remove them and rinse them very well before putting them back in (I also removed all of the lash fibers and mascara from my eyelashes, when this happened). I hope that makes sense! Keep your face down, toward the ground-- not vertical, when applying this.

For extremely long lashes, I use Dream Lash with a duo mascara that has a primer on one end and mascara on the other end. Not all duo mascara's are the same; I use Black Radiance. First, I apply the primer. While the primer is still wet. I apply Dream Lash; I let it dry. I then use the Mascara. My eyelashes are dramatically long! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: When applying Dream Lash, use a hand held mirror. Bend over and look into the mirror during application. Your head must be in a downward position. If you attempt to apply the Dream Lash with your head up - facing forward, the fibers will get in your eyes, on your face, clothes, etc. SO DO NOT keep your head up!! Practice.I have been using Dream Lash for over two years and I have received countless compliments on my eyelashes! The down side of Dream Lash:1. Like any other make-up, it's temporary, so when I take off my makeup, my long, beautiful lashes disappear. Sometimes, I just want to sleep with long lashes, but I don't, because particles from the fibers will get in my eyes. I use Vaseline to remove the enhancer and mascara and I wash my face with facial cleanser - NEVER WITH SOAP- too drying (lots of face products on the market that are cheap and effective and won't dry out your skin like soap. Invest in one.2. The bottle doesn't last as long as mascara. Tip the bottle upside down when you think it's empty - you'll find that you still have many applications left.

I received my Dream Lash last week & had to try it out immediately! I use Hard Candy's fiber lash primer to prep before mascara (after curling my lashes). It may seem like a lot of steps, but once you get the hang of it, it will take less than 3 minutes tops. I then applied one coat of my mascara of choice which happens to be Estée Lauder Sumptuous Black Mascara. Then I used my hand mirror and LOOKED down into the mirror. This is key to flawless application! Roll the fibers on from mid lash to tip and immediately reapply your mascara of choice. I recommend a "wetter" formula. Then reapply the fibers for more length & volume making sure to seal with a final coat of mascara. My hubby noticed immediately that my lashes were enhanced, but he couldn't put a finger on it since they did not look like false lashes. I have medium length, sparse blonde lashes which have thinned out from medication. I don't feel like this actually added a lot of length to my lashes, but more volume. They look full, dark & lush. Be careful not to over apply or you will get the tarantula eye look for sure. Again...follow directions, & LOOK DOWN when applying. I haven't had one single issue with fallout or even needing to use a brush to wipe fibers off of my face. For me, this product will remain in my makeup kit for a very, very long time! Bravo Dream Lash! XO

This thing really works. But if your mascara creates a lot of volume/clumps, I think the fibers might be a bit much. I use Covergirl mascara thats more for length, not volume and it doesn't clump my lashes, and when I apply the fibers, it looks perfect. Instantly adds the length and volume I was missing. Make sure to not curl your lashes after the fibers are applied, or you'll have black bags under eyes and skimpy looking lashes. When you apply the product, it DOES get messy, that's why I gave it four stars, but after wiping it off, usually its all good. Although, occasionally I find myself looking at a mirror to make sure the fibers haven't gotten all over my face. Usually, the don't. Don't swim with the fibers and mascara on, you'll look like a monster and your crush will be scared of you. Overall, I really liked this product to give my average, blah lashes a little make over.I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.
