- Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara, Rich Black Shade

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 am 54 years old with extremely sensitive skin (radiation dermatitis) and even more sensitive eyes, as in I've had to give up all the mascaras I've counted on for so many years. My hair is mixture of light blonde and white, so black mascara looks too harsh on me (if I could wear black, I'd wear Jones Road mascara, as I really like the formula and it doesn't bother my eyes). That said, this mascara is outstanding, with a bit of a learning curve--at least for me. I purchased the Crystal (Brown Black) and it's an especially beautiful color--maybe there's just a hint of a plum undertone--I don't know, but the hue does a little something extra for my regular blue eyes that other brown mascaras don't do. Additionally, it makes my eyelashes look really long, which they aren't. However, since I have super-fine, super-straight hair, I have to remember to do two key things when applying this mascara: 1) Scrape excess product from the brush back into the tube, and 2) only apply to the tops of my lashes, NOT from root to tip--if I apply this mascara from root to tip, it weighs them down and they can't hold curl--my lashes are just too fine. (I put a really good curl in them first and then only apply mascara to the top part of the curl.) If I get too much product on my lashes, I brush it away with a clean spoolie immediately, while the product is still wet. Once this mascara dries, I haven't found any way to manipulate it, either by curling it or adding more mascara--it clumps and looks spidery--you can only work with it when it's still wet. You can remove product with a spoolie or build it with more coats, but you have to do everything while it's still wet. If you're unhappy with it once it dries, it's best to remove it and start again. Removal is easy. I just use a tiny bit of mild soap and water on my fingers, run them over my lashes, let that sit for a minute and then the mascara slides right off--no pulling or rubbing or irritation to eyes or lashes. I usually put soap and water on my lashes first and then wash the rest of my face; that way, my mascara goes with all my other makeup when I rinse. Honestly, I didn't believe the hype about Thrive mascara, but the fact is I was running out of options and didn't want to do without mascara altogether. I have to admit, it was worth opening my wallet. Wishing you luscious lashes...

This mascara does exactly what I want: lengthens lashes with tube-like extensions so much better than cheaper brands. Better than I have ever used before. Using on tips of lashes instead of the entire length saves product and works best. I've been using this for several years because it is so good and easy to take off at night. Yes, it's more expensive, but definitely worth it.

This does what it claims. It separates lashes and coats them with a coating that stays on until you wash it off. It is thick but doesn’t clump and it doesn’t smear or smudge.

Best mascara ever. As I’ve gotten older like everyone, my lashes are thinner. This mascara really helps bring them out and very easy to remove. It does remove very oddly though like in pieces, but it does not clump or flake off at all.

Works well as a tubing mascara. Great lash extension and coverage. Take it off like other tubing mascara with warm water. I swam in it (lake so cold water) and it stayed put but did clump my lashes together a bit when my face dried. I marked it down a star as the mascara tube itself is very heavy (compared to my other mascara tubes from other brands, and yes I weighed them to compare). Seems like a lot of extra plastic in the tube and lid itself and extra weight if you’re traveling. BC every extra ounce adds up and you have to carry your stuff traveling.

This mascara has a lot of great reviews, including from many publications and video presenters. I am afraid I am not so enamored with the product. Let me start by describing my eyelashes. They are a good length, both upper and lower. They are feathery and the hair is fine. Natural color is light brown at the base fading to almost blond at the tips. I find volumizing mascaras do not work well on fine hair as you see the clumps and fibers. So, I was looking for something that would keep them curled throughout the day. I am also a senior and I find that heavy lashes just emphasize your age. I try to keep the look enhanced but not overly emphasized. I am on the fair side with hazel eyes. Now, for this tubing mascara, I ordered the Brynn, which is a rich black. It is very black. I am not sure I have ever put on a mascara that dark. If you have darker hair, skin, etc. or are heading out for the evening, the color is fine. But I find it too dark for my coloring for daytime. I would go for a different color for daytime. I have tried the mascara without curling and with curling and have not noticed a huge difference. But it does tend to clump my lashes together, so I have to come back and brush them out. I don't find that it lifts them better than the mascara I used to use, but they do stay lifted better throughout the day. The mascara removal is actually easiest in the shower, just letting the warm water run over my face. But I still wind up using some makeup remover after to take off shadows and liners. The real drawback for me, which should have been obvious, is how easily it comes off is problematic. A little water, sweat or tears, and it will smudge and flake. It is summer...need I say more. I did not use a waterproof mascara previously, but even it did not run as easily as this does. Conclusion: yes, it does lengthen your lashes. You have to decide if the drawbacks will affect your use or not.

It adds great length to my lashes and comes off easily and in little tubes that doesn’t pull my eyelashes out or cause breakages. It is waterproof and doesn’t bleed in your eyes or cheeks. Love it!

The only down side is that it some particles and flakes falls in my eyes

I have thin, fair, sparse lashes ! I was a bit afraid of this purchase because of the cost but I promise this will be the last mascara you will ever purchase. I’m sure I’ve tried every mascara on the market, twice, and been sorely disappointed. I use primer and this Thrive and I’m happy as a clam. Go for it girl, you won’t be sorry!!!

Best mascara ever!

Excellent

It’s quite wet and goopy, in contrast to the usually dry prime mascara. And I agree with others that there’s a learning curve. But it’s a very good product and definitely extends and enhances your eyelashes beautifully!
