OK, But Does It Last? After applying the Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara, I was pretty impressed with the lash-fluffing results, and I was curious to see if my plumped-up lashes would shed throughout the day or stay intact. After applying the 3D mascara around 8 a.m. and wearing it for a couple hours around the office, I did notice some fallout beneath my eyes. The fibers were so fine, though, that I had to look pretty hard to see them scattered about my under-eye area and on the top of my cheeks — and no one else seemed to notice them throughout the day. While there was some shedding (that's what I get for basically putting fur in my eyes), I have to give the mascara props for holding up during my gym session, which I decided I would fill with 20 minutes of heavy cardio followed by 15 minutes in a 200-degree sauna.

When I emerged from the sauna, my mascara was miraculously still in tact. There was a bit of fallout and smudgy eyeliner (understandably), but my lashes remained lifted and lengthened.

By 8 p.m. that evening, my mascara and extended lash length were still going strong. Though my lashes weren't the dark, dense, voluminous furry animals they were that morning , I did put them through a workout, intense heat, moist air and a 12-hour day without them melting off my face. Color me impressed.
