review

If seeing SIX THOUSAND 5-star reviews doesn’t make your eyes pop, their mascara surely will. Thrive Causemetics’s Liquid Lash Extension Mascara is everything you want in a mascara. It gives short, thin lashes the eye opening, pick-me-up your face needs each morning. This mascara never flakes or runs, and it keeps eyelashes lifted all day long. Because it’s a tubing mascara, you can build ultra-thick, long lashes to create the faux eyelash look we all crave. Best of all, it comes off with warm water. Say goodbye to under eye smudge and having to use oily eye-makeup remover. This mascara has a permanent place in my makeup bag.

 

I love that this mascara gives me killer lashes, is clean, well-priced, and helps me support a good cause! Win-win all around, and I bet you won’t go back.

 

Still unsure? Don’t worry, they offer free returns and exchanges on new and gently used products within 60 days of purchase. They provide a prepaid return label and everything to create a convenient shopping experience.

Sizing Tips & FAQs

Tell me more about Thrive Causemetics

Thrive Causemetics is one of those hidden gems we love sharing with our readers! The company was founded by Karissa Bodnar, who began her career as a makeup artist and eventually grew to being product developer for L’Oreal’s luxury brands. She left her corporate job and started Thrive Causemetics in 2015 after losing a close friend to cancer.  During her friend’s battle, Karissa realized how many traditional makeup products were off-limits to cancer patients because of the unnatural ingredients they contain.  She set out to create a company whose products can be used by all women, firmly believing that looking one’s best enabled women to feel their best and have more confidence.

 

All of Thrive’s products are clean and cruelty free – they are 100% vegan, never tested on animals, and don’t contain any sulfates, parabens, latex, or petrochemicals.  Honestly, we’re not sure what some of these things even are, but learning more about Thrive Causemetics made us think about the other products we use on our face every day.

 

If all of the above isn’t compelling enough, the “Cause” in Causemetics speaks to the company’s values. For every product you buy, they donate the same or a different product to a woman who is: a veteran, fighting cancer, an abuse victim, or homeless.

 

 

Can I buy their products at Sephora or Ulta?

In the winter of 2019, Thrive Causemetics collaborated with Ulta to offer a few of their most popular products at Ulta stores and on ulta.com, but the full range of products is only available on the company’s own website. This is definitely not our ideal, but likely allows the company to keep the prices reasonable.  Plus, Thrive offers their own rewards program where you basically earn 1% back for everything you buy, with chances to earn bonus points for referring your friend or on your birthday. You can use the points towards future purchases

Just like you, we have tried many of the mascaras on the market – from Dior, YSL, and Benefit to drugstore brands like L’Oreal and Maybelline. The Thrive mascara has the best combination of volume/length for our lashes, combined with a reasonable price point, clean product, and awesome mission/story.
