Tarte Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara Review and Photos

By Audrey Dao, on February 1st, 2012,

Tarte Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara ($19) A reparative and volumizing mascara containing Tarte’s biggest beauty breakthrough, Amazonian clay. This amazing mascara delivers a 406% increase in lash volume and long-term reparative, rebuilding, and strengthening benefits with each swipe giving you instant results and better lash health. Just as it intuitively restores hydration and texture in skin, Amazonian clay intuitively hydrates and replenishes dry and brittle lashes to prevent fallout. High performance natural™Amazonian clay performs all day by absorbing oil to balance mascara and keep product in place for flake-free longer wear. It lends itself to deepen pure color pigments creating a volume-boosting formula with higher intensity and truer pure color. The result is healthier and more voluminous lashes that won’t ever flake or transfer, naturally. After daily wear, lashes are intact, healthier and stronger. This mascara prevents lash loss and promotes lash health.

My Thoughts:

I really like Tarte’s Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart mascara. It’s a really good mascara for natural looking lashes. The mascara gives enough volume and length to your lashes to make them more noticeable but not overly dramatic. Also, the mascara doesn’t clump, smudge, or flake! It stays on all day and comes off easily when you remove it. I love that it didn’t dry out my lashes. Instead, my lashes felt soft. Overall, even though I liked the mascara, I feel you can find cheaper costing mascaras that work just as well. I couldn’t find a feature of the Tarte Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart mascara that stood out to justify the price tag.

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara Review

By Audrey Dao, on May 17th, 2010,

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara ($19) This is what we call a push-up bra for your lashes™ a 4-in-1 (lengthening, curling, volumizing and conditioning) dermatologist tested mascara that gives dramatic, thick, sexy lashes and is clinically proven to increase lash volume by 424%.

My Thoughts:

I was surprised I ended up liking this mascara. I could care less for the purple casing. It is sort of annoying. I noticed volume and length in my lashes after I applied the mascara. It’s not a lot of volume and length where it makes you go whoa! But it is better than most mascaras that claim it can voluminize and lengthen. It also can hold a curl! It feels very light and is great for everyday because it lasts all day and then some. The mascara is also buildable which is great if your going for major volume. I had no trouble removing the mascara, and I love how it is really a bold black color. It does clump a little bit if you don’t apply it carefully, but nothing a lash comb can’t cure.
