When it comes to promise of voluminous and long lashes, photos speak a bajillion words. So while I sip my pumpkin spice latte here, I invite you to scroll down for more photos, marvel for a moment, and believe in the sorcery that is fiber lash extension!
New to the US market, Australian brand Cherry Blooms had me at Aloha. I mean, it really did wow me in the oh-lalalash department! As you can see from the very first photo, the transformation is unmistakably striking. I know not everyone is a fan of tarantula lashes but this is the closest I can get to wearing faux lashes, something I still struggle with after years of playing with makeup.
The system is quite similar to other fiber lash extensions I have tried in the past. It’s sold as a set containing one tube of transplanting mascara gel and one tube of dry nylon black fiber. The steps are not rocket science, just use each tube as described: coat lashes generously with transplanting mascara gel, apply fiber lash, seal with transplanting mascara again. You can repeat the process until you are satisfied with the result. I stop at third because that’s my breed of arachnid, haha! Still need a tutorial? See photos below or if you prefer action, you can watch Cherry Blooms how-to video.
I know what you’re thinking… is it safe in the eye area? According to the website, these lightweight fibers are made from non-toxic ingredients which are suitable for those with sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers, which is basically moi! I’m glad to report that I had no issues wearing these brush-on fibre eyelash extensions. It didn’t irritate my eyes or had fibers accidentally deposited, trapped or migrated to my contacts. The volume and length of my lashes were consistently on-point the whole ten hours I had it on. This is also sweat and waterproof unless you rub your lashes. Surprisingly, removing it was a breeze, just the usual cotton pad and eye makeup remover. If there is one thing I would like to suggest (and that’s coming from someone who had brand marketing experience), I will improve the cheap cardboard packaging and make it more upbeat and sassy. After all, if I’m going to pay $59 for a mascara (technically it is), I want to be delighted in and out. But other than that, I am overall satisfied with the experience! Even Hubzilla had to ask “how dya do that?” To which I replied, sorcery honey!
Have you tried anything like this?

That is an amazing effect indeed! Wow!
it's a nice product to try
WOW this really extended your lashes! It looks like they're fake!
yeah even myself was in awe 🙂
Impressed to hear this did not interfere with your contacts! That is my biggest fear with these types of mascaras! You look fab!
thankfully not. of course the trick is not to get it too close to your eyes
It did a great job of lengthening your lashes. Great review. Loved the pics.
thanks Kim!
Look at them lashes! What a great mascara set.
yep, thefabzilla-approved seal 🙂
This mascara duo looks really nice, it gives your eye lashes some serious oomph! 🙂
true. even hubs was surprised 🙂
I am impressed with the length you can get with this stuff. You look glam.
I haven´t tried any of those fibre products, yet, but I guess I should.
Wow, that makes your lashes look awesome! Long and luxurious!
What a great effect! It really extended your lashes.
I've tried several and they all irritate my contacts, which is too bad because they look good.
As a matter of fact, I'm just writing up a review of a competitive brand now. I had a good experience using them, though I found that it is necessary to take my time applying it. Yours certainly made your lashes huge! Impressive 🙂
Hmmm… now I can't wait to read your review!!
I wish they made the lashes fuller, too, but what are ya gonna do. It's an impressive transformation, for sure!
If you pile on the fibers, I bet they'll look fuller.
This is definitely one of the more natural fiber lash mascaras I've seen.
Maybe because I didn't overdo it? I stop at third reapplication or I scare people away, haha!
Love your lashes! I have to be careful with fibers!
I actually hadn't heard of this brand. Thanks for the into.
I am very hit or miss with products like these because my eyes are so sensitive. I have been asked yet again to do a revisit on the Younique ones… we'll see how it works this time around. lol Your lashes look good girl… I love that they are very visible.
I'm hesitant to try Younique because of the not-so-good-things I've heard/read starting from the reps down to the product itself. I don't want to be hounded for sure, haha
I wouldn't try Younique simply because of their marketing tactics. This brand makes your lashes look incredible!
Wow that looks like it really makes a lot of difference! Pretty!
I have a few fiber mascaras sitting in my "test" stockpile. I tend to be more of a natural lash gal so usually fibers tend to not be something I reach for on a daily basis. No fair though. You et to have stunning lashes AND lips.. =P
Amazing results!
While I like my lashes, I can't help but want to try fiber lashes at least once. I keep hearing so much about them that I'm curious!
The lashes are amazing!
Definitely worked really well on your lashes!
I really like fiber products but I usually like them in the mascara itself!
this did extend but to me made lashes look super thin on some
Does a great job! I'm trying out a similar product right now – Younique 3D lashes.
