Flamingo mascara review

I got on board with Miss Yumeko's group order for the mascara that was "the shit" (read her review here). A big thank you goes to Yume-chan for going to all this extra trouble and for all the extra goodies!
I got my stash a couple of days ago and after much fiddling about, I'm ready to give you guys the low down.
The box comes with 2 tubes of product, one is a "Transplanting gel" and the other contains the "Fibers", together they purport to be able to "Make your eyelashes inconceivability".
This is a fiber mascara along the same lines as Imju's Fiberwig. If you're foreign to the world of fiber mascaras, it's basically mascara with little bits of fiber in it. The fibers can be made out of nylon, silk or any of a number of other natural or man made materials. The concept is that these fibers will adhere to your natural lashes thus lengthening them.
Unfortunately, my grasp of simplified Chinese isn't exactly the best in the world (especially when there's no food involved) and it definitely doesn't extend to chemistry so I can't really give you a complete list of ingredients. I can tell you that it contains; water, bees wax, Carnauba wax, ash(?) black, and nylon...I think.
Texture wise, the Transplanting gel appears to be different from the average mascara. It's thick yet liquidy at the same time...does that make any sense?! Imagine maple syrup ok.
There's also a potential for mess because each time you pull out the wand, some of the gel trails out behind it T.T
Removal is a breeze, just warm water and the mascara slides right off.

Instruction:
1. Apply a layer of Transplanting gel from root to tip of lashes;

3. Apply another layer of Transplanting gel;
4. Apply a layer of Fiber to tip of lashes;
5. Apply a final layer of Transplanting gel.

Here are my uncurled naked lashes:

See the tiny fibers clinging to my lashes?

The box recommends that you repeat the whole gel + fiber process until you get your desired effect.

As you can see in my final photo, my lashes have been lengthened considerably and the mascara also gave my stick straight lashes a bit of a curl.

In case you're curious here's what it looks like on curled lashes:

Does not weigh down lashes and keeps curl well.

Impressive no? Definitely lives up to its "The Shit!" reputation! My only wish is that it offers a bit more in the volume department as my lashes are definitely on the sparse side T.T. However, this does mean NO MORE FALSIES!!! whoo hoo!!! I sucked applying them anyways xD

Pros:
Length, length and more length;
Does not clump even after a bazillion coats;
Did not notice any irritation even though I wear contacts;
Slight curling effect;
Zero flaking or smudging;
Easy removal;

Cons:
Unless you have a lot of time on your hands in the morning, this whole gel + fiber repeat thing can be very time consuming;
Not easily accessible outside of Asia;
Cheap packaging - the lid of one of the tubes has become separated from the top of the wand;
Does not build much volume;
Straight wand is a bit hard to work with but I guess one can always bend it.

Damage: US$12 and cheaper.
Verdict: Recommended if you're looking for a mascara that gives you a false lash effect!
