d.j.v. beautenizer Fiberwig LX Mascara Why We Love It

January 21, 2011 · Leave a Comment

This is a review of d.j.v. beautenizer Fiberwig LX Mascara, a J-Beauty mascara from Fiberwig.


If you are a regular reader of Style Chicks you know how much I love Imju Fiberwig Mascara, and a few months ago they came out with a new formula called d.j.v. beautenizer Fiberwig LX.

As I’ve mentioned in a previous article, I love it for its staying power as well as how easily it comes off at the end of the day – it is soooo gentle on lashes.

ABOUT d.j.v. beautenizer Fiberwig LX Mascara

The new formula is just as gentle and as clean in removal, and also has amazing staying power during the day.

This is especially impressive for a fiber mascara – my eyes are sensitive, but I’ve never had a problem with fibers or flakes getting in my eye, or flaking under my eye. Enough so that I forget that flaking can be a problem when I try other mascaras!

d.j.v. beautenizer Fiberwig LX Benefits & Features

CURVED BRUSH DESIGN

Fiberwig LX Brush d.j.v. beautenizer Fiberwig LXThe updated formula has a curved brush to grab all of your lashes.

I like to catch my outer lashes for a second coat to give them some extra wow factor.

I also turn the wand vertically to paint some extra fibers on my middle lashes to make them appear super-long.

INGREDIENTS SUPPORTING LASH HEALTH

Fiberwig LX helps lashes get naturally longer too – it contains panthenol to condition lashes.

I had sort of forgotten about that when I was testing the formula out. Then I wondered why my bare lashes seemed to be staying at the long-end of the growth cycle. It’s been about a month and half now. After reviewing diet/supplements/other products I’m using, I think it has to be the mascara.

Now, Fiberwig LX isn’t a lash growth formula like Latisse by any means. But the panthenol conditions your lashes so they stay soft and healthy as they grow. This leads to less breakage.

And if you try out Fiberwig LX you will find that your lashes will be naturally fuller simply based on the fact that removal is so gentle that you will lose less lashes in mascara removal.

In addition, the formula is pretty flexible. If you happen to touch your lashes when the mascara is on, you won’t have any breakage.

In fact, it is so flexible that the product directions say to curl your lashes after you put it on and it dries for maximum “pop”.

I curl both before and after (I think my Paula Dorf curler works best with Fiberwig since it is easier – at least for me – to “thread” the length that Fiberwig gives between the crimper and the pad). The result is pretty amazing.

FINAL THOUGHTS

All in all, Fiberwig continues to be my go-to mascara. It works for day. It works for night. Fiberwig just works.

The brillant folks that make Fiberwig LX just came out with a volumizing mascara as well – I can’t wait to try it!

New Product: Peter Thomas Roth Laser-Free Resurfacer

January 20, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I’m a long time fan of Peter Thomas Roth products, and the fact that their new face serum, Peter Thomas Roth Laser-Free Resurfacer contains Dragon’s Blood Complex caught my eye to say the least. I mean, what would Dragon’s Blood do for one’s skin? Increase cellular turn-over due to a thermogenic process? Or perhaps Dragon’s Blood was the active ingredient in a mask Sleeping Beauty put on just before being knocked out and she had a nice long nap for the ingredients to seep in? I was intrigued…

As it turns out, Dragon’s Blood Complex is derived from a tree in the Amazon (still very cool, but I liked my ideas better), and the product helps produce impressive results – the research quote on Sephora states that ” In just four weeks, this product helps boost elastin by 61%, diminishes wrinkles and lines by 56%, and increases pro-collagen by 84%. Dull, aging, overexposed skin is repaired and renewed.”

That would be impressive results even if it was the blood from an actual mythical fire-breathing creature…

Find Peter Thomas Roth Laser-Free Resurfacer at Sephora.com for $75.

Dermstore.com is offering the yellow, white, and pink Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System for $126.65, which is 15% off the regular price. It also comes with the Gentle Hydro Cleanser, which I really like.

That’s a great price if you’ve been on the fence about picking up a Mia for your gym bag or travel, and DermStore offers free shipping on it as well.
