This Eyelash Extension Mascara is really quite amazing. I have seen pics around of people who have tried very similar products and was curious. I tried this and saw how well it could look. It is quite interesting though that the first layer is your own mascara. You then apply a layer of the transplanting gel and a layer of green tea fiber that are actually colored black. You do this twice and it does make you lashes look thicker and longer. What you are doing is building up a layer of these fiber that build out your lashes, much like acrylic can build out your nails. I wear contacts and in trying and using this product I have not had any irritation, although I have had to get used to the feeling of the fibers. I love the case this comes in, makes it easy to keep the products together and take them with you wherever you go. I like that the fibers are green tea which being a natural ingredient makes me think that they will give some nourishment to your lashes. I will continue using this product
