Thrive Mascara, Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara, Tubing Mascara Lengthening, Volumizing & Curling, Smudge Proof, Washable, No Clumping or Flaking, Vegan, Brynn (Rich Black)

Pros: Easy to apply Lengthens and defines lashes really well (WOW!) Quality-the tube and the wand are excellent quality. The mascara is very smooth. Not clumpy, not runny, not dry. Glides on, coats lashes evenly. Color-the "Crystal" is a beautiful brown/black, almost raisin color. Quality pigments. Safe for very sensitive eyes--really. If I can wear this mascara almost anyone can. Longevity-I have very oily eyelids. This doesn't run or flake. Ease of removal. OMG, a cotton pad damp with hot water. Hold/wiggle it on your lashes for about 5 seconds. Wipe straight down. Gone. Cons: The price. Not sold in stores I am blown away!! I've worn this every day for about 10 days. My lashes are blonde, very straight, and not very long. I'm allergic to all mascara except a couple, the all natural ones that flake and run and don't look nice even freshly applied. I didn't believe a mascara with no harsh ingredients could even be good, and this is GREAT. It is tubing so apply in long smooth strokes from root to tip You can't curl your lashes after you apply this. Curl before. I bought a warming lash curler from Amazon. Game-changer, very gentle heat, not scary at all. I brush my lashes with a spoolie, curl with the warm curler, then quickly apply mascara in long smooth even strokes. Get as much on your lashes as you can in about 20 seconds. Easily doubles the length of my lashes. Don't use thickening tricks like wiggling the spoolie side to side at the base of your lashes and then pulling it up to the tips. If you do that you'll create a big wide "tube" at the base of your lathes and it will be gross. You'll think the mascara is bad. Long, smooth strokes root to tip. Dip, repeat, kinda quickly. Do all the coats you want to do before it dries. Once dry, more coats will clump. This is one of those rare products I will reluctantly pay a higher price to get because it actually does what it says it does and my eyes don't react at all. I can't overstate how impossible that has been for me since I was a teenager. I can forget this mascara is there. It's not just tolerable, it's comfortable. Pics are one with no mascara and one with Thrive Liquid Lash Extension in the color Crystal. That was a quick application on day 3. The warming lash curler appears to be working better with each day that I continue to use it. It is a great companion to this mascara. If you prefer a volumizing mascara, this is not that. Tubing mascara definitely adds thickness, but the point to this mascara is to lengthen, and it does that really well. For me, a mascara with literally no irritation and longer more beautiful lashes without harsh chemicals is a miracle and I'll keep using it.

I absolutely love this mascara. It's a little on the expensive side but it's definitely worth the money. It lasts a very long time and has proven to be just what my eyelashes needed. It's so easy to use and provides my eyelashes length, thickness, and just a beautiful long-lasting look. It stays on for hours in a day, yet washes off easily with soap and water. I love that it doesn't clump, smudge, or flake, which is amazing. It's available in several different colors. This is such a good quality mascara that I highly recommend.

Only day 1, but so far I’m VERY pleased! My lashes are much longer, no smudging, no flakes, and came off easily. In the photo my old mascara is in the top pic. Thrive in a on the bottom. The lighting in the first picture isn’t great.

Makes my sparse lashes look amazing. No flaking smudging even when I cried. Removes easily with makeup remover wipes. Love this stuff. Will buy again. Nice and black also.

This mascara really does make my lashes look longer and fuller. It gives a nice lifted, almost lash-extension look without needing multiple coats, and I love how dramatic it makes my lashes. The only downside I’ve noticed is that the longer the tube has been open, the more the formula starts to crust or flake while wearing it. When it’s new it goes on really smoothly, but after a while it doesn’t wear quite as nicely as time goes on. Overall I still like the look it gives my lashes, but I wish the formula stayed fresh a little longer.

Absolutely in love with this, cannot believe I am just now finding out about this fabulous mascara. Love how easy it is to apply/go on, stays on and doesn’t make a mess as the day goes on. And taking it off … wow! So easy, it just slides right off w micellar water. Im always on the run and sweating … this doesn’t budge … LOVE IT!

I had been hooked on Too Faced better than sex waterproof mascara for many years. I ran out of it and went digging through my makeup bag one day and came across a little travel size of this Thrive mascara (I think I bought it through some kind of Facebook advertising a long time ago but never used it). I thought I was only going to use it for a couple days, just until the new tube of my usual mascara came in. It gave a more subtle natural look than the Too Faced because it seems a little more liquidy versus being so thick that it looks like I'm wearing false lashes, but it still gives them a pretty generous extension. I wasn't totally sold on it at first, because I do tend to lean more towards wanting them looking like false lashes, but after going to bed still wearing it the next morning I woke up with eyelashes that still looked surprisingly perfect, and I've been totally obsessed with it ever since. I love the way it comes off in tubes rather than trying to wipe off a gooey smudge that the Too Faced waterproof turns into, I'm sure the regular Too Faced is easier to remove but wearing makeup dries out my eyes and I'm constantly using eyedrops so waterproof is necessary for me. This mascara lasts all day (and the next!) without needing to be reapplied, I dont wake up with one side all clumped together, and removing it is as easy as washing my face. It seems to be much more gentle on my natural lashes and has actually helped them to grow longer due to not needing to continuously wipe them super hard to get the makeup off as with the other waterproof mascara. I'm not even sure if this is considered waterproof but it's good enough for me. I haven't been swimming with it on yet, but if it gets wet and I keep from touching it it stays. I can imagine if I do wear this swimming I will be able to easily wipe it off in the pool without worrying about looking like the grudge.

I think I love this. I really want to. I’m amazed at how long my lashes look, which is a big deal for me because mine are so short and almost non— existent. I use a lash—growing serum and you can still hardly see them. I also love that it stays on forever without being waterproof. I hate waterproof mascara because I’m lazy and it’s so hard to get off. This just washes off with water, but stays put until then. I even slept in it and it looked great the next day. The photo’s from the am after. I was so impressed, I had to have photo evidence. I didn’t touch my face— there were no smudges or anything, still just beautiful long lashes the morning after. It also survived Midwestern humidity and an episode (or two) of menopausal tears. The only drawbacks for me that make me wonder if it’s worth it, are that it’s messy and it doesn’t take much to turn spidery (even though it may still look good from a distance—if you zoom in on the pic you’ll see they’re a teeny TammyFaye but still look ok overall). Overdoing it feels just one swipe away, where with other mascaras I can see it coming. And when no clumping, etc is a selling feature, I feel it shouldn’t be that easy. I don’t know, maybe I got an old tube and it would be worth buying direct from the cosmetic company. As far as being messy, I’m 48 and have been using mascara for many a decade now, but for some reason cannot keep this on just my lashes when applying this. It gets everywhere and I have to do a Qtip cleanup when I’m finished. Since I’m always running late and doing my makeup in a hurry (or at red lights), this is a big deal for me by adding extra time. Not only do I need to slow down to avoid being messy, now I need to clean up and then sometimes touch up the makeup I just wiped off while cleaning up. Are my lashes longer using this than using a primer and my regular mascara? I think so??But it would be close. I’d have to do a side—by—side comparison to really know. I’m torn about it overall. I want to really love it. The pros are ideal, but the cons might* be enough to ditch it. Time will tell.
