As I’ve gotten older my lashes have thinned down, lost their ability to curl naturally, and have become shorter in length. The appearance of eyelashes are practically non-existant unless I wear mascara. I’m not a heavy make-up wearer, but I do understand the importance of wearing eye make-up. Your eyes are the first thing people see when having a conversation with you.

For decades I’ve searched for the perfect mascara. I’ve tried dozens of different brands and formulations over the years. Some have been inexpensive while others more on the pricey side. Some I’ve liked and others I’ve hated. None pleased me 100% until now.

A few weeks ago a friend told me about Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara by Tarte. Like me, she has sensitive eyes and had a hard time finding a mascara that didn’t irritate her eyes. If you’re unfamiliar with Tarte, they make high-performance natural cosmetics. Their beauty products are cruelty-free and vegan.

Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara gives you 24-hour wear, 24-hour smudge-proof, 24-hour flake-free, it’s vegan, and comes with a 360 degree MagniLash Wand. It’s buildable…you can put on a little bit for a natural daytime look or layer it on for a date night out on the town.

To Use: Place the brush at the base of your lashes. Wiggle and pull it upward through the tip. Layer for eye-opening results.

I decided to give it a try and purchased a 4-pack which is a year’s supply of mascara. That’s right ladies, you should be changing out your mascara every 3 months! Don’t risk infection or your eye health by using old mascara! After 3 months, pitch out your mascara…no matter how much is still left in the tube!

The first thing I noticed was the adorable packaging that it came in! The tubes look very high-end and classy! Next, the wand. Oh my gosh, it just glides through your lashes…even sparse lashes like mine! One dip into the tube was enough mascara to do both the upper and lower lashes of one eye. Dip a second time and that was enough for my second eye. I didn’t have to do repeated dips into the tube to get exactly the amount of mascara that I needed for a daytime look.

When I wanted a heavier look (for date night out with my husband) or going out with the girls…I did build-up the look by dipping into the tube 2-3 times. I experienced no clumping, strings, or flaking. NONE. Just after the first use I was impressed and the more I’ve used the product…the more impressed I became!

Initially I was going to keep all 4 tubes for myself, but decided to share with my mom and grandmother. They too have sensitive eyes and I knew they would appreciate a high-end mascara. Since giving them one they’ve been wearing it and raving about it too! It’s unlike any other mascara that I’ve ever tried!

Ladies…there’s no need to run around paying $40+ for a tube of designer mascara! You can get beautiful results at an affordable price point with Tarte’s Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara. I was able to find it on sale and got the 4-pack which contained 4 full-size tubes for $40.00 making it $10.00 per tube! Yes, you read that correctly!
