How much is one mascara in dark brown..including tax and shipping and how do Iget a 15% discount onmy first order?

Tammy Penhallegon says

I haven’t received the mascara that I ordered weeks ago.

Natasha says

This mascara was really terrible and just smeared everywhere!

Liorah says

Got the eye liner in 2 colors. Hardly goes on, forget about long lasting. The pictures they show must be photoshopped! The liquid extensions mascara is so not! A really inferior product! Maybelline gives way better results. False advertising at its worst! Asked friends to try it. They all hated the product!

Loan Hansz says

I am asian and the only way my lashes will remain curly after I use the curler is to use waterproof mascara. Is this waterproof? If not, wiill this work on my lashes? Will my lashes stay curly after its applied?

Gem Pierre says

I used this massacres before, It is very good and long lasting. I would like to order 2 more.

Sandra Remson says

Need a before picture to see the difference

Hi. I too have fairly thick lashes and don’t like when mascara clumps them together. I’ve found that if I wipe the wand free of some (often most) of the product, I get a cleaner application. Thought I’d mention it in case you want to try it. It does feel wasteful, because I lose much of the mascara on the paper towel or tissue that I wipe the wand with, but my lashes always end up looking well separated and more natural when I do.

Tahseen says

I bought this mascara and it is terrible. Very, very clumpy. I wonder if I can return it. Nothing like the description at all.

T. A. Johnson says

Thank you for your blog! I read your thoughts before I received my mascara and I thought maybe I’d have a better experience. I tend to wipe off much of the mascara before applying it and I had hoped that would circumvent the lack of separation. Nope. This mascara was a huge disappointment. It didn’t lengthen any better than less expensive, store bought mascara and the lack of separation makes it look clumpy.

Stephanie Goddard says

The long-wearing lipstick does not work. And to charge almost $30 (includes shipping costs) is really getting up there with a false advertising claim. This lipstick does NOT last all day (it will be gone the minute you eat or drink) and it does not moisturize your lips–in fact it’s very drying. You will be much better off purchasing the long-wearing lipstick from L’Oreal, Maybelline, Cover Girl, etc. and for a LOT less money.

I guess because their marketing does a thing with “every purchase gives one equal product to a needy woman…” and calling it “causemetics” is supposed to make us not care about the truth in their descriptions…but at $30? I’d rather donate to the charity of my choice.

Margie says

I am not sure how these causemetics get good reviews. I purchased the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and the eye liner.

The mascara clumped and flaked. Yes it did! The eye liner smeared off in about a half hour after applying. I tried them twice to be sure maybe somehow I was not applying correctly.

Both time it did this. I had black flecks on my face all day from the mascara. Since the eyeliner did not even stay on, I used something else I had.

I read all the raving reviews and thought, this stuff must be good (expensive too).

In may case, it was not — I hated it and I returned it.

Rochel says

I rarely take the time to comment on products (am business owner and a bit frantic) but I LOVE this product. I really can’t believe that I can have near-extension look without extensions. Are you going to come out with a waterproof formula as well??

Rochel says

I can’t believe that this product would get bad reviews, seriously. I’ve tried Chanel, Lancome, Maybelline, and this goes way beyond. Also, the shipment arrived just a couple days after ordering. I will order it again and I hope the bad reviews don’t scare people away.

Lori says

This mascara was horrible. I really had high hopes for it but it didn’t show extra length and only clumped.

Sarah says

I cannot believe the terrific reviews for this brand. But now I understand the company’s tactic. They remove any negative feedback you leave and then block you from their Facebook page! I bought the mascara and eyeliner and was not impressed with either one. Complete lie about lengthening lashes and it clumps up for sure. The eyeliner melted off by end of day. The products are the complete opposite of what they say. Awful.

Amy Shoemaker says

Hi Ivy!

I was googling reviews of the Thrive mascara & came upon your blog. I’ll DEFENETLY be reading from now, you’ve got a new fan in me!

I’m a mascara junkie as well, as I have light blonde lashes. I look like I have the flu without mascara.

Question for you, in your Thrive mascara review I noticed your bottom lashes in the FABULOUS close up photos. I have tried, tried & tried again to get mascara on my bottom lashes EXACTLY the way you have done in your photos. I’m very pale & I would love the extra definition. Do you have any secrets to applying mascara on bottom lashes??! I end up with a kewpie doll, clumpy lash look with the side benefit of smearing under my eye. 😡. I’ve tried the trick of holding something, like a business card between my bottom lashes & under eye. I still get a clumpy, not natural looking MESS. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Sorry for the CRAZY long comment. 😧

-Amy

Kirsten says

I bought the eyeliner and was SUPER impressed. It’s my favorite ever. Worth every penny, bought 3 more.

Ann says

I’ve tried this mascara, which is very costly PLUS shipping and it was no different that the maybelline waterproof mascara I’ve been using for years. Did not work for me and I’m out the money.

Lori says

Hi Ivy,

I clicked at the bottom were it says:

“Click here to see some of the mascaras that are tried-and-true for me.”

But it only takes me to Shop Ulta VIB Sale and nothing about your tried-and-true mascara finds.

I am interested in seeing what mascaras you recommend.

Thank you, 😊

Lori

Dania Kelly says

I’ve found that Mary Kay mascara works best. It covers well, washes off with water or make-up removal pads, and does not smear or melt under my eyes when I have on makeup base. I also use it on my eyebrows after I put it on my lashes.

Tami says

I have very, very thin, almost non-existent eye lashes, and I love this product! It is more expensive than than I’d like to spend (I always buy drug store cosmetics), but I feel the price is well worth it, and I am money conscious. I am ordering my 2nd tube today. It doesn’t smear, like someone said, it doesn’t rub off or end up underneath your eyes. It really is a very good product and makes my lashes look much thicker and longer.

Kelly says

I have this mascara and I honestly do love the way it stays on my eye without smudging under neath my eye. My issue and was wondering if there’s anyone else out their with this experience. After using the mascara for a few weeks I noticed both my eye sockets were aching and my eyes were tremendously sore (burning). I stopped using the mascara and then recently went back to it and the same thing happened again. My thoughts obviously are it’s something in the mascara but I don’t know what.

Just wondering am I the only one with this experience? Thanks for your input in advance.

She says

NOT WORTH IT!!!! It did NOT do anything different from other mascara. Drug Store bought is much better. I am so disappointed and yet it was very pricey. It could be organic, who knows!!! And I’ve used mascara for decades, this is not even close to other mascara.

Lauren says

I ordered this mascara with high hopes. I knew right away that I’ve never had good results with this type of brush. (I didn’t notice the type before buying😅) so as usual, I couldn’t get the feathered look I can achieve with the other type of brush applicator. My eyelashes are really short and they just look clumpy with this. I’m going to clean and use an old applicator and hope it goes on better with that one!

Kathryn Goodman says

This crappy product made my eyelashes break and fall out!!! DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!

Mai Tai says

I bought the mascara recently and it worked fine – there was a small tiny clumping but was able to brush it out. My lashes were longer than my usual mascara (Too Faced brand) about the same price as this Thrive. I didn’t check to see if this was waterproof and found out it wasn’t when I went swimming… it clumped up in pieces and was all over my face when I got out. My husband and my niece was looking at me like “What happened?” So in the future, if you are going to go in the water or go on water rides, make sure you’re not wearing this brand.

Anna Thomas says

I’m really surprised to see any negative comments on here, at all. I’m 51 and have been wearing cosmetics regularly since I was approximately 13 years old and was honestly amazed by this product!

I have tried a multitude of both drug store and high end beauty products but this is by far the best mascara that I have personally used.

I used it for the first time the other evening while at the casino, with my husband and son, and received compliments from early in the evening until early in the morning. Usually by then everything has worn off.

This is now the only mascara for me!!!!

Cherie Miller says

I actually love this mascara! I wipe off excess on a paper towel prior to applying and my lashes look gorgeous. I also think the mascara is helping with growth/length.

Iris says

I have been using this for about a week and a half and about 5 days ago I woke up with a rash on the base of my eyelashes on my right eye and the next morning my left eye was irritated too. I didn’t think much of it but my eyes have been irritated for 5 days now, so this morning I thought what have I changed in my routine to which I could have had an adverse reaction too……The Mascara, everything else has been the same so I guess something in the ingredients has irritated my eyes 🙁 ….I’m glad it works for some people though.

Lynne says

I had a really bad reaction to this mascara too. Looks great and I tried and tried to use it but the itching drove me crazy. It made my eyes swell and turn very red. It took days after I took it off for my eyes to return to normal. Had to throw it out.

Beth says

I didn’t like it. Clumpy, and I found it hard to get off. My eyes felt irritated too. I prefer Tarte’s mascara.
