Batting .424


I took a mini makeup moratorium yesterday...not a stitch!!! (Of course I didn't leave the house, either).

Whenever I am trying a product for the first time, the optimist in me, expects to love it. I want to believe the hype, just as much as the next girl...I promised to follow up and tell you how Tarte's Lights Camera Lashes mascara worked out. The claim is that it boosts lash length and thickness by 424%.
Makes one wonder just how that was measured and what it would have taken to squeak out another 76% to get us to batting our lashes an even 500%.

Nevertheless, I tried it on my very tired eyes this morning. Two coats on top, one coat on the bottom. No noxious smells, a user friendly brush, some good for you ingredients and a $19 price tag.

I'm happy...judge for yourself.

  1. I treat myself to makeup-free Sundays all the time! I wear dark glasses if I go shopping. :)

    That mascara looks fabulous, but I suspect it's your lashes that get the credit.

  2. Hi Charleston Girl!
    Yes, dark glasses and a swipe of lipstick sound like a plan!

    Latisse and Revitalash get some credit, but this gave me pretty near instant ooomph. What more could you want on Monday morning???

  4. Sephora or their website www.tartecosmetics.com.

    This was just two quick coats, with a little time and effort I think they could be really fab!

  5. That's some serious volume! But the $19 price tag? Ouch!

  6. Hi Fabuless!
    Actually, I feel the $19 falls into the mid range...I usually try to refrain from the Diors and YSL's, simply because it rankles me a bit to spend that much. I am ALWAYS on the look out for a good CVS cheat...got one to recommend???

    Best,
