Is there any one out there that has had experience with this mascara, and what is your review.

Hi @rms1954 - I used to use their regular Epic but now I’m using their 4-D, in the purple tube. The mascara is a little more wet than other mascaras I’ve used before. You want to be sure to wipe a good amount of the mascara from the applicator brush before applying to your lashes. Just scrape it on the opening of the tube so you don’t waste it. Don’t stick the wand back in the tube between eyes or layers either. I’ve alway been in the habit of using the L’Oréal Volumnous Lash Primer before mascara and I still do that. This combo gives me a great result that lasts until I take it off.

This mascara was all the rage a number of years ago. I couldn't go to my FB page without seeing women's eyes with this mascara on. It was the fiber one.

I bought it and it was a waste of $30.00 for me. I tossed it in the trash after leaving it sit on my dresser for years. It was a major no go for me with my contacts. Those fibers got into my eyes and all down my face. I applied it per the instructions then deviated from the instructions trying to get the product to work. It just didn't for me.

They no longer sell the 2-step mascara with the separate tubes of gel and fibers. It's either the regular Epic, waterproof Epic, or the Epic 4-D. The 4-D is great. No fiber fallout.

You're welcome, @rms1954 . I know there are people who are against the whole Younique line. I'm not into their skincare, and not crazy about some of their foundations, but they do have some products that I find very nice. My daughter likes the 4-D mascara too.

It's an MLM, so no way for me.

I've been using the regular Epic and I love it. I did recently read that there was a Class Action lawsuit pertaining to the original formula that Younique lost.

I use several Younique products that I love: their creamy contour stick, the BB cream, a cooling bronzer-highlighter and the Lip Bon-Bon among them.

The problem I have is that 1.) I think they are expensive ( though the product last a long time and are well pigmented) and 2.) they they have so many Limited Editions (so don't get too devoted to your new find).

I tried a tube and had amazing results with my sparce lashes. The fibers were frequently in my eye and I didn't want to spens so much time. I found Maybeline had some amazing mascaras, and I've been using them. I NEED 13 X time the lashes!

Now my walmart list has gotten longer!!!

That is exactly how I feel. There are enough good products on the market that I don't see the need to get involved with that type of company.

FYI - It's not only about makeup, other options in the marketplace, or the method in which someone earns a living. The Younique company (Younique Foundation) spends several million dollars a year to help women and children who have been victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse.

And they brainwash and manipulate and exploit loads of stay at home moms to do it. Like any other MLM. Most MLMs give money to charities and the story is used to help justify the exploitation.

It's okay if people want to spend money with MLM victim "presenters" and "models" to help subsidy their financial mistake, particularly if they are family members. But it's best to be clear eyed about what is happening.

Without people propping up the MLM victims, they will go into massive debt. Most fall into debt anyway. I see it as sort of like covering for an addict. It goes against my personal code to contribute to companies that operate in such an unethical manner.

The info about this is out there. It just requires the willingness to look at it.

@Porcelain Am I understanding you correctly, that I'm the one who is, to use your analogy, "covering for an addict" ?

I tried a couple of the shadows to test the quality and fell in love with them! Very nicely pigmented, apply easily and last. I bought the presenter's kit (with no intention of selling - I just wanted the great products). I really like a lot of the products, but I wouldn't try the fiber mascara because of my contacts. But the eye shadow base is beyond amazing! If you go to sleep with your shadow on, it will firmly be in place when you wake up.

I had to go back and dig to find this post. But it's been bugging me to know that I hurt another poster with my words.

@JeanLouiseFinch I apologize for being so harsh in my response to you and hurting your feelings for no good reason. I should not have engaged with you about this at all because it was none of my business. I allowed my negative feelings about MLMs to unacceptably affect the way I responded to you and that is not okay. I understand if you can't forgive what I said, but I wanted to offer an apology anyway.

I'm deleting the related posts because in hindsight, I would not have posted them. And going forward I am going to wait a while before using the @ option when I notice I'm feeling unusually self righteous. I will certainly avoid using it in an unsupportive way with you @JeanLouiseFinch in the future. All the best.

Thank you, @Porcelain. Since I know a Younique presenter and I know her moral compass, I was actually more insulted than hurt, but I appreciate your comments just the same. Let's just move on.

Then I also apologize for insulting you. Thank you for reading.
