MAC Fibre Rich Lash Mascara: Are Sweet Dreams Made of This?

The great Annie Lennox once said, “Sweet dreams are made of this.”
Coincidentally, that’s also how I hoped I’d feel about Mac Lash mascara ( available in one shade called All Black).
The product promises extreme volume and density, effortless extension and a smudge-resistant, creamy formula.
Just thinking about all of those things together makes my tummy rumble (like it does for Nutella and Ryan Reynolds)…

MAC Fibre Rich lives on counters as part of the MAC permanent line. Its black tube looks sleek and minimalist, concealing a compact brush head with a combination of long and short bristles designed to magnify and separate lashes.
Well, it makes a wonderful first third impression…
The creamy formula feels lighter than air (no crispy, heavy lashes here), the black applies nice and dark, but here’s the thing — you know the saying, “Patience is a virtue”?
Fibre Lash takes it to heart.
Even though there’s no mistaking the length it lends to lashes, with a staggered, wispy look that reminds me of MAC’s falsies, it takes at least three

Luckily, it’s easily to build in layers because it doesn’t dry so fast that I feel like I have to hurry between coats. The smooth, non-clumping or bumpy formula leaves a lot of leeway to lay down several layers at leisure.
Toward the end of the day, it starts to smudge a tad, but that’s probably offset by the fact that it’s quite easy to remove. A cleanser and water — no separate eye makeup remover required — easily does the deed.
