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.

Final Judgment
Younique impressed me with their 3D mascara. The mascara definitely added density to my lashes, making them appear thicker and more voluminous — which is enough to make any girl feel sexy. And if you add two coats like I did, your confidence will be through the roof.
However, if you have sensitive eyes, you might want to reconsider accepting that Facebook invite to the Younique group. I'm not overly prone to irritation from mascara, but the fine fibers were enough to tickle my eyes in a way they did not appreciate, though once removed from my waterline my eyes were totally fine. Beauty is (temporary) pain?
