TARTE Travel Size Tartlette™ XL Tubing Mascara - Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara - Flake-Free & Smudge-Proof Formula 0.13 oz / 4 ml

Feels very light vs. loreal lash paradise that makes me feel sleepy and heavy eyed after application. This one separates and curls lashes nicely without clumping. Only negative is it doesn't volumize a lot. I'm going to use it as my everyday mascara since it's so gentle and removal is easy. No smudging or lash loss at all.

For years I used magnetic eyelashes because I am a person that is mindful of the chemicals I put in/on my body. The company that supplied the eyelashes discontinued them so I’ve had to find alternative options. I came across this mascara while at Ulta and it is now my go-to each morning. I won’t echo the same pros as many of the other reviewers but instead, give tips and insight on using this product. Toxicity: EWG gives this product a low 3 rating & states each ingredient is listed is of low hazard. Application: Goes on smoothly with first layer + adds length. Does tend to clump with each subsequent layer. I personally believe one layer is adequate. You can get even longer lashes by applying more layers but it will start to clump and you’ll end up with 6-8 really thick (but long!) eye lashes. I do not like that look so 1 layer it is for me. If your product clumps during that first application, then your product is old/bad. I only buy the small tube because the product always goes bad before it’s empty; even the smaller tube. I also do not “pump” the brush as this introduces air into the tube, drying it out quicker. Easy removal: To remove, all I have to do is wet my eyelashes and the product separates from the lash. I then wet my hands and gently “pull” the mascara off my lashes. No makeup remover needed. I personally despise makeup remover as it’s another product I have to worry about chemically & always burns my eyes regardless of ingredients. Because this mascara is so easy to get off, just know it is NOT waterproof. For my needs, that was perfectly fine.

I love this stuff. Just got my second tube— the first one (trial size!) lasted me just over 6 months. In terms of clumpiness, it seemed about like other mascaras, but i’ve been in the habit of using an eyelash comb as i put it on anyway (it sets pretty quickly). The formula is awesome though— i have sensitive everything and this doesn’t bother me! If it becomes wet too quickly after applying (before it has a chance to dry fully), or if it gets wet in the shower/swimming, it will slide right off. That’s actually how I like to take it off: get it wet in a hot shower and then gently pull it off with a paper towel. It leaves those nice little tubes of goo on the paper, not flakes. Otherwise it’ll stick around for a good while, surviving a moderate cry or a light rain; I use it on my eyebrows too and it rubs off of those a little more quickly in that more prominent location, but as long as I don’t let it rub up on anything it’ll stick around for two or three days. My eyelashes and eyebrows do seem healthier and longer/thicker now after having used it for six months, which I attribute in part to that aspect of avoiding rubbing it off :) but yeah, great stuff. Feels healthy & nourishing. Thanks gang!

Love this mascara it’s the only one I’ve found that doesn’t make black marks on my eyes. Looks natural it does form like a plastic tube on eyelashes sometimes I forget and rub my eyes and it slips off. Doesn’t smear though so I like it! The best one I’ve found so far for natural long lashes.

The size is travel size but it really works love it highly recommended

Works really great and for me to see lash, it’s a miracle!!
