Hi guys!
The fireworks season will be here in a few weeks in Tokyo and I am excited to go see it. Anyway, as usual when the 3-month mark came to throw away my Heroine Make mascara, I thought why not try something different and switch it up. The cosme ranking sealed the deal. Disappointing or was it worth my money?
Product Description:
Price: ¥1480.
My Experience with Eyemania Mineral Fiber Long & Volume Mascara:
Packaging:
The packaging of this mascara is an all white tube with the body of the mascara narrower in the middle and wider at the bottom (wider than the top). This little dip in the centre helps holding the tube a little better. Design-wise, it is pretty minimal as you can see from the photos.
Formula:
Right after opening the wand, the first thing you see are the little fibers sticking out from the wand. The texture of this is quite creamy but the fibers are not doing it any favors. If it were not for them, this would have been a very good mascara I feel.
Buildability:
The first two coats with this mascara is lovely. You get good separated thickened lash definition. If you build this more than 2 coats, it clumps like there is no tomorrow. All the lashes stick and clump together and it just looks like you have 5 thick lashes all clumped in a zigzag pattern. It is not flattering, in short.
Wand:
It has a slightly curved wand that has traditional nylon bristles. The wand tapers all around towards the tip. You can use the tips to cover the lower lashes because it is much narrower than the rest of the wand. As for the main wand, I think you can get good separated lashes if you scrape the wand on the container to take off the excess product, rather than the “fibers”. There is a side-by-side comparison of the wand with and without product(washed with water to get a clearer picture of the wand).
Another thing to note is that right after application the upper lashes stick to the lower lashes (even if the lower lashes don’t have product on them), which is very annoying. It sticks even more if you coat both lower and upper lashes. This takes a minute or two to stop. The mascara does hold good curl. So I like that.
Longetivity/transfer:
It sets and becomes waterproof. It does not transfer anywhere during the day which are all the things I like. It is a film type mascara, which means it comes right off with warm water. It claims to have a 24-hour wear time, but I do not intend to wear it on and try it for that long.
Final thoughts:
I appreciate the fact that they are trying something different but this was a complete dud for me. The fibers poked me, irritated my eyes and gave me an eye infection (I am a contact lens wearer and prone to eye infections). I recommend you be careful when wearing any mascara with fibers especially if you wear contacts.
Pros of Eyemania Mineral Fiber Long & Volume Mascara:
• Creamy formula.
• Can get good definition (volume and lengthening) with 2 coats.
• Waterproof.
• Film-type mascara (comes off with warm water) (will not work with oil-based remover).
• Holds curl.
Cons of Eyemania Mineral Fiber Long & Volume Mascara:
• If you’re not careful, fibers can poke and irritate the eyes.
• Can get very clumpy if you try to layer it (more than 2 coats).
• Upper and lower lashes stick together until the mascara dries.
IMBB Rating: 3/5

I like the wand, but it gives clumpy look which I am not a fan of. I am more into natural looking lashes.
Yeah bye bye clump town. I have already thrown out the mascara Shikha!
This mascara makes your lashes looks voluminous but clumpy, like you said, this mascara is not worth it :/
Yeah Garima! Not a fan 🙁
