Lashes.

One of the most important parts of my makeup routine is my eyelashes. They've always been a feature on my face that i really like and therefore want them to stand out. Hence, i am super picky about which mascaras i enjoy. I want my lashes to look long, curly and voluminous but not clumpy.

Over the years I have certainly found some mascraras that i used repeatedly (the Maybelline Lash Sensational being one) but no mascara has been so dramatically loved like this Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara. I bought this product on a whim about 2.5 years ago as I'd seen on Youtube that people loved the Tarte mascaras, and it didn’t disappoint.

This formulas claims to lift and curl, volumize and strengthen and deliver super dark pigment. It says to be 24 hr wear, smudge-proof and flake free as well has having a ‘360 magniLASH’ wand which gives an instant lash lift. In my personal experience, I’d say this mascara does all of these things. I don’t feel like I have to use an eyelash curler with this product (although if you have straighter lashes you may want to anyway). I love that it isn’t flaky so doesn’t fall down onto your face and I can guarantee to have fluttery, full lashes when I use it. I was also happy to find out that this product is vegan which is the same for most of Tarte’s products.

My only qualm with this mascara is the packaging. I’m not really a fan of the fake leather look coating, which after a while tends to get a bit gross. But I am happy to put up with it for such a good formula.

Sadly, Tarte is an American brand and is difficult to get in the UK. However, if you find yourself in the US or in a European Sephora, be sure to pick one up. Luckily, I find that this product lasts a really long time and doesn’t dry out so you don’t have to re-purchase too frequently (although since corona I haven’t been able to buy a new one :( ).

Overall, a 10/10 product that I can’t wait to get my hands on ASAP!! I do have a few other mascara recommendations that are available in the UK which I will definitely talk about soon.

Lots of love,
