Beauty Product Reviews

Tastes awful!

Have to agree with the other reviews. I'm a lip product addict, I've got em all and this just has a taste I can't get past. Not sure what it is, it kinda tastes how it smells too but can't figure out what. Almost like eating ointment. I tried to use it sparingly on just the outer edges of my lips but somehow the taste is in your mouth anyway..

It has its place.

I'm a lash professional and I LOVE tubing mascara! Recommend it to all my clients over typical pigment mascara bc there is less involved in removing it thus less wear and tear on lashes and fragile eye skin. Thrive is my favourite so I was really REALLY excited to see Jeffree put out a tubing one bc they're not super common. Jumped on this and lemme say the packaging does NOT disappoint! The tassel even has a clip so you can detach it for use as an accessory or to put your mascara with your makeup like normal. The product itself however was only "okay" IMO. It really separates and coats the individual lash for a 'pretty' natural look - no spider lashes here! Second coat gave a more typical mascara look (still not quite as extreme as one coat of Thrive) Three was pointless. Its not really a build-able mascara past 2 coats. Wear time was your average day in makeup; about 6 hours in I wanted to fix it. Reapplication was not successful. It really doesn't like to be layered. I noticed that it got dry and felt "crusty" or crunchy for lack of a better word. It also flakes off if anything touches it - think bangs/hair or changing clothes. (Thrive is flexible and doesn't get dry like this or flake off) Removal was super easy you can literally just rub your eyes and crusty bits easily fall off or simply wash your face. I don't see this holding up to sex or anything else tbh but it also wont smear all over either. Itll just sort of disappear LOL It might do better in humid climates with the drying out aspect. IM(Professional)O If you have naturally long lashes this is great. If you are looking for a light weight natural looking pretty mascara that doesn't make a mess of your face this is great. I think it would be good for people with seasonal allergies, watery eyes and those sensitive to the weight of thick mascaras too. It definitely has a place. But if you're a lash enthusiast who is used to extensions or strips you'll be disappointed. Or if you're looking for an extreme volume/lengthening effect or something longer lasting this is not it. As for the price point, I think it's priced right considering the packaging.

Looks are deceiving..

I loved this the second I saw it on IG. I even set an alarm and woke up specifically for the launch and had order confirmation 20 minutes later LOL That's how BAD I wanted this! I wondered if it would look like a version of Nars Orgasm or be more of a blush topper.. Turns out neither. After months of waiting I finally got to wear it and was shocked that it turned my face into gold tin foil *insert crying here* I am fair with a cool pink undertone and being such pull the pink out of anything. Not this. There was nothing pink about it. It is yellow gold and looks like a super shiny bruise on the side of my face when any amount of warm or yellow light catches it.. I am SOOOO SAD.. I don't want to return it bc I love the packaging and the idea behind it, I just can't wear it *insert more crying* if you are darker or have an olive complexion this would probably be great.. 3 stars for the idea, packaging and formula..
