MAC Fibre Rich Lash



MAC Fibre Rich Lash Mascara- $12

Lengthening? Yes, very
Volumizing? Yes, an average amount
Separating? Yes, very much
Clumping? Sometimes, I think due to the fibers in the formula. It's more like getting little clumps of fibers on your lashes rather than making your lashes stick together.
Everyday/Dramatic? Everyday, could be layered for more drama
Flaking? Very very rarely... if I'm wearing it a long time there will sometimes be little fiber specks that fall out.
Scent? Yes, very light
Overall Rating? 8.5/10

Midnight In Moscow

*With flash attempting to show the red shimmer



Midnight In Moscow by OPI

The first time I put this on I was hesitant about whether I would like it or not. On the first coat it comes out as a sheer black with deep red glitter and is rather transparent. After a second coat though, it was nicely opaque but the polish still looked kind of brownish black to me from a distance. I think the only reason I fell in love with this color was that I discovered when you turn your nails in the light, it gives off the most gorgeous red wine glow EVER. It's beautiful! Thumbs up for a unique color.

This is:
-2 coats Nail Envy
-2 coats Midnight In Moscow by OPI
-1 coat OPI Topcoat
-OPI Drip Dry
