Tarte Tartelette™ XL Travel Size Mascara 30ml - Black (Pack of 1)

For years I used magnetic eyelashes because I am a person that is mindful of the chemicals I put in/on my body. The company that supplied the eyelashes discontinued them so I’ve had to find alternative options. I came across this mascara while at Ulta and it is now my go-to each morning. I won’t echo the same pros as many of the other reviewers but instead, give tips and insight on using this product. Toxicity: EWG gives this product a low 3 rating & states each ingredient is listed is of low hazard. Application: Goes on smoothly with first layer + adds length. Does tend to clump with each subsequent layer. I personally believe one layer is adequate. You can get even longer lashes by applying more layers but it will start to clump and you’ll end up with 6-8 really thick (but long!) eye lashes. I do not like that look so 1 layer it is for me. If your product clumps during that first application, then your product is old/bad. I only buy the small tube because the product always goes bad before it’s empty; even the smaller tube. I also do not “pump” the brush as this introduces air into the tube, drying it out quicker. Easy removal: To remove, all I have to do is wet my eyelashes and the product separates from the lash. I then wet my hands and gently “pull” the mascara off my lashes. No makeup remover needed. I personally despise makeup remover as it’s another product I have to worry about chemically & always burns my eyes regardless of ingredients. Because this mascara is so easy to get off, just know it is NOT waterproof. For my needs, that was perfectly fine.

Feels very light vs. loreal lash paradise that makes me feel sleepy and heavy eyed after application. This one separates and curls lashes nicely without clumping. Only negative is it doesn't volumize a lot. I'm going to use it as my everyday mascara since it's so gentle and removal is easy. No smudging or lash loss at all.

This is a great mascara. The tubing really works and is my favorite type of mascara. It comes off easily with warm water but does not smudge throughout the day. I will say that the tube that came when I ordered the product was smaller than I expected, but that was probably because I ordered the travel size by accident. Overall this is a good product that I will order again.

Goodbye end of day raccoon eyes. I’d you have oily eyelids you need this. So easy to take off and gives great volume

This is best I’ve used. Goes on well, both lengthens and thickens and also stays put even through intense exercise. Comes off easily - just cotton pad with warm (almost hot) water and rinsing off the resulting flakes. No smudging. Love it.
