I used Thrive Causemetics mascara for years and thought that was pretty good, but I always wished that it was a little wetter, that it didn’t have phenoxyethanol and that it didn’t slightly irritate my eyes. Tarte Tartelette is everything I ever wanted Thrive mascara to be: First of all, it’s a true and very good tubing mascara. It’s wet enough not to have ANY clumps whatsoever and to coat my lashes evenly and perfectly, yet dry enough that it’s not a goopy mess that makes it so that my lashes can’t hold a curl. It doesn’t flake. It lengthens my lashes beautifully. It comes off easily with just water. It looks perfectly fine in the morning if I don’t wash it off at night. The brown color is a rich chocolate shade that complements my autumn coloring perfectly, not just a brownish black that looks essentially black once on. It’s the only tuning mascara I’ve ever tried that’s actually buildable; two coats looks dramatic, not clumpy and botched. I look like I have lash extensions. All this AND it doesn’t have phenoxyethanol. I absolutely love it. I have found the holy grail of mascaras. Read more
Love tubing mascara for everyday and going to the gym. No more raccoon eyes, smudging or mascara marks on my lids. Easy to remove. No tugging which is important to me since the skin around our eyes is so thin and more fragile. Trying not to pull, stretch and damage that delicate area and tubing works. I’m on my second tube and I can say it’s been workout approved! Before, I’d have a mascara mess but no more I’m happy to say. Read more
Some of the best mascara! The tubular feature make it so when it does start to come off, you are not getting raccoon eyes or dark circles. Water works just fine.. not clumpy and very clean. Container it comes is very big and sturdy. I’ve tried Lancome definicil, Ilia, L’Oreal telescopic and Grande lash and this is by far the best!!! Read more
I usually love Tarte products, but I was a little disappointed with this mascara. It doesn’t smudge and it does make my lashes look longer, but it can leave them a bit clumpy. I still use it, but I feel like I spend more time than I should working on my lashes. Read more
I absolutely love this mascara! My lashes stay beautiful all day when I wear it. It doesn't flake and goes on really easy and comes off with a makeup wipe just as easy! Read more
Favorite mascara. Love the way the mascara come off. So it doesn’t cause any damage to the lashes and my eyes aren’t a mess after. Love the brush, makes eyelashes look so long! Read more
This mascara is initially wonderful! I’ve tried the other mascara for mature women, blue container, and was very disappointed. Not only was it pricey, it didn’t last very long and I wasn’t happy with how it looked on my lashes. This mascara is perfect and easy to apply. I’ll have to wait to see how long it lasts but I’m extremely happy with how well it applies and looks. Read more
The Tarte Tartelette XL Tubing Mascara truly lives up to its name — it’s like lash extensions in a tube! From the very first swipe, my lashes looked longer, lifted, and defined without any clumping. The tubing formula coats each lash individually, giving that fanned-out, dramatic look while still feeling light and natural. What I love most is that it stays put all day — no smudging, flaking, or raccoon eyes, even in humidity or long wear. Yet, it comes off effortlessly with warm water at night, which is a big plus for sensitive eyes. The added peptides are such a nice touch — my lashes actually feel stronger and healthier after a few weeks of use. The brush design is perfect too: it separates and lengthens evenly, reaching every lash, even the tiny inner ones. Overall, this mascara is a total win — luxurious, long-lasting, and gentle on lashes. If you want bold, fluttery lashes without the hassle of falsies or extensions, the Tarte Tartelette XL Tubing Mascara is absolutely worth it! Read more
