Comments: When I heard that there was a limited preview of a new Diorshow mascara at Sephora, I made a long trek to the Towne Centre to buy one with my birthday money. The Diorshow Extase is advertised as the best Diorshow mascara yet, and even better, it is good for your lashes. I could hardly wait until the next morning to try it out. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the tube and found a strange wavy brush with gobs of product. I applied it just like Diorshow Iconic, only to find that the wavy brush made it hard to apply, especially in the inside and outside corners. It took effort to comb out the clumps. For the second coat, I wiped off the clumps and tried to build the volume and length. It worked somewhat, but the result was a wet look that I didn't care for. I returned the mascara at a smaller Sephora store hoping to get a new tube of Diorshow Iconic, my very favorite. They don't have Diorshow at smaller stores, so the consultant talked me in to a tube of the Japanese Fiberwig. She said the fibers give incredible length and if I didn't like it I could return it to a bigger Sephora and get the Diorshow Iconic. So....I've read a lot about the Fiberwig and plan to try it and see if it's as good as the hype.
