First Impressions While you can't swing by your neighborhood Sephora or Ulta to pick up the Younique 3D mascara, you can order it online from their website or contact a former classmate and purchase it for the not-so-low price of $29.

When I received my 3D mascara package, I was surprised to find that there were two tubes of mascara and a set of instructions waiting for me. Since it's a fiber mascara, the first tube contains the regular mascara that grips the fibers and the second contains the actual fibers.

If you're a mascara maven like me, then you know the mascara wand is everything for application. It determines how much product is applied to the lashes, so if the wand is a bust it can result in clumpy, spidery or barely-there lashes. In regards to this 3D mascara, both of the tubes contained a basic, straight wand (which is great for getting in the corners of the eyes) and gripped quite a bit of product — especially the fiber lash wand. Upon pulling out the fiber brush from the tube, thousands of tiny hairs clung to the wand and I immediately gave it the side eye. Applying microscopic strands of material to my lashes seemed like a recipe for irritation. There was only one way to find out if the fiber lashes would trigger tears, so I swiped on the first coats of mascara and hoped for the best — or at least not sand-in-eye level vexation.
