Review: Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes!

Price: $19.99
Where to buy?: Sephora



What Tarte Says:
Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! 4-In-1 Waterproof Mascara's waterproof formula gives you the bombshell lashes you love, and is guaranteed to stay put through rain, sweat or tears.

I got this as a sample size when I purchase the Sephora mascara set a while back. After using this mascara for 3 months I think this mascara is pretty good.

Likes:
- Does give length
- Does not clump
- Holds curl the whole day
- Brush applicator makes it easy to apply

Dislikes:
- Some smudging on the lower lash line throughout the day



Overall:
This mascara does a good job lengthening and holding my curls all day but for the price I find drugstore mascara can do the same job for a much cheaper price.

Review: L'oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara

Where to Buy: any drugstores
Price: $8 - $10
How Long I had this product: 2 months

What L'oreal Says:
L'Oreal, Telescopic Explosion Mascara, 970, Black. L'Oreal introduces New Telescopic Explosion Mascara, to lengthen, thicken, and separate 100% of the lashes. The patented Flexi-Globe Brush applies from every angle for a spectacularly fanned-out look.

* Clump-Free, Flake-free, Smudge-proof
* Removes easily with soap and water
* Opthalmologist & allergy tested
* Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers

Review:
Honestly the only reason I purchase this mascara was the interesting wand. I've been wanting to try the Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara but I wouldn't pay over $29 for a mascara that can only last for 3-4 months, I thought this L'oreal mascara would be a similar dupe.

I typically love most of L'oreal mascaras but this one was a disappointment. This mascara clumps horribly and it doesn't do much with lengthening and after 8 hours of wear this mascara will smudge even though they claim that its "smudge free"

Without mascara


With L'oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara


What I like about this mascara is the tiny wand, it does get into every lashes since I have very short lashes but it takes practice to get use to the wand.



Rating: 2/5
Would I buy this again?: no


Disclosure: I purchase this mascara
