I actually found and have been using this mascara since 2008 and I fell in love with it. I think this is my 3rd tube now.
I also did a blog post on it at that time but it wasn't really in detailed as I wasn't really into beauty blogging at that time too. You can refer to the post here -> Flamingo (2008)
This mascara gave me my signature look at that time. "The girl with thick and long lashes". Haha.
I still remember how my ex boss used to compliment my eyes alot at that time too. :D
Anyway, as per request by Blair, I'm doing a proper review on this lovely pair of mascara again.
Flamingo mascara is a 2-way mascaras. Normally we have the base and the mascara, but this one here, we have the "fibers" and the "transplanting gel". Very well named I thought, as it really "transplant" your lashes. haha..
Flamingo Transplanting Gel - Step 1
After curling your lashes, apply 1 coat of this and let it dry for a few seconds.
Recommended to apply for the other eye too while waiting for it to dry.
Flamingo Fiber - Step 2
Apply this one after a coat of the transplanting gel. Apply as quickly and neat as possible because if the fibers get into your eyes, its gonna irritate alot.
Tips: Do not blink your eye after applying this. *if possible*
Step 3 *sorry I forgot to snap the step by step pics*-
Apply the 2nd coating of Transplanting Gel as soon as possible after you got the fibers on your lashes.
Repeat to get thicker and longer lashes.
Sometimes I got scared of the length.. especially if I'm heading to the office. Haha.
Results *after 2 coats of fiber and transplanting gel* :
I'm sorry if this looks messy or clumpy.......The reason is, I have this mascara for almost 1 year already! yeah.. I know I shouldn't keep a mascara that long...but I didnt wanna throw it away until I get a new one. :P
So, to be fair, if you get a new and fresh one, your lashes wouldn't look as clumpy and as messy as this.
And, your lashes will be much longer than this one too. *trust me on this, ;-)*
It's just that my mascara is already drying and dying on me now.. :(
Amazing length huh? The lashes look much longer in real life.
Give it a try now! =)
p/s: what I love about this mascara:
- gives you
amazing long lashes (you can continue with 3-4 coats to get the longest lashes you want. *
it can go crazy* Haha)
- you can remove it by just using
warm water & your facial cleanser! Yes... just wash your face like normal and the mascara will be washed off too! *
big smiles*

is the mascara easy to remove?
wow this mascara sounds awesome! i have short stubby lashes so definitely want this!
Wow that's really cool, your lashes are sooo long!! I want it!! Where can I buy this mascara? :D
@Bea: sorry I forgot to share that, maybe I was too excited with the pictures and sleepy at the same time last night. Hahha..
Yes, it's the easiest mascara to be removed ever! Just use warm water & cleanser and the mascara will be gone. =) *i've juz updated that in the post*
@amynaree: yeah, you should give this a try, I have short & straight lashes too. ahaha
@PixyEla: I bought this from a seller who deals with a supplier from Taiwan... Maybe I could ask for you...? =)
Wow, that does look pretty amazing! Do you know where I can find this?? It looks like it thickens amazingly!
Out of curiosity, have you tried the Kiss Me Heroine Long & Curl? That's the one I'm using right now and it seems to have the lengthening down pat in one step instead of two... but it doesn't really thicken at all. Maybe a little easier for everyday? It's a bit of a pain to take off though and so far I've only found one m/u remover that does it well (the green L'oreal one).
wow, but don't u think it clumps up when u coat it more than 2 or 3 layers?
WOW! the mascara makes you lashes so long! thanks for following me love your blog I'm following too ^^
@Catherine: hi, thanks for ur lovely comments. No, I haven't try KISS ME Heroine mascara yet... that's the next thing I wanna get and try. I heard alot about it too =)
@ningStar: hi dear, yes, it clumps a lot in that picture.. but that's also because I've been using this mascara for almost 1 year! HAHhaha... but when it's still new and fresh, it didn't clumps the lashes as much as this... and the application is very smooth.
it's a little too late for me to do this review i guess?

I dont use mascara daily, unfortunately I feel uncomfy with it despite the fact it lighten up the eyes :p
