Review: Tarte Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara
I initially received a sample size of this mascara at Sephora (100 Point Reward). I used up the sample in less than two weeks and rushed to my nearest Sephora to grab a full-size, only to learn that the store that I had visited was sold out 😓 I immediately went on the Tarte website and to my surprise, there was a sale on 😍 So, I bought two Tarteist Lash Paint Mascaras, without any hesitation, and this is why 😀
I will begin by stating that I already have quite thick, dark and volumous curly lashes, so my purpose, with regards to using mascara, is to add more drama, length and volume as well as for lash separation. After applying one coat of this mascara, my lashes were instantly thicker, longer and more defined (in that there was more curl). However, this mascara, true to its name, has a paint-like consistency – it’ s thick!!! and takes longer than any other mascara I have ever used before to dry. While the mascara dries, it is crucial not to let your lashes touch your lids (especially if you have eyeshadow on!), as colour transfer is bound to happen and this product isn’t so simple to remove once it touches skin! I had to wait about 3 minutes before applying my second coat and thats when I really fell in love because I usually need at least 3 coats of mascara to achieve the look I go for and managed to get it in just 2 coats with Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara. Here is a picture of what my lashes looked like after two coats.
I find I get better results when I apply this mascara after I have primed my eyelids and applied eyeshadow (I think the color that falls off and settles onto my lashes helps to build up the volume of the mascara).
This mascara stays put on my lashes for about 8-10 hours before I notice particles of it on my face. It seems fairly easy to remove with a (preferably, an oil-based) face wash/cleanser, although I have struggled to find a makeup remover that can get rid of ALL traces of this mascara. Despite removing my makeup with built for make-up wipes, and washing and toning my face at night, some mornings, I still wake up with black crud in my eyes and on random parts of my face 😬
Nonetheless, Tarte has outdone itself with this mascara which Tarte claims on its website is vegan friendly as well as safe for contact lens wearers.
Have you tried this mascara? Share what you think 🙂

Natural Makeup with @SueDevittBeauty
Inspired by nature, Sue Devitt makeup is exceptional, advanced skincare. With products formulated to improve and protect your skin, Sue Devitt Cosmetics is hydrating and rejuvenating makeup that treats while enhancing. These are a few products that I especially liked from Sue’s extensive line of cosmetics and skincare products
SILKY SHEEN EYESHADOW–in “Ayers”, this orangey-gold eyeshadow color glides on beautifully with a saturated pigment that also blends well. The application also leaves, as the name says, a shimmery sheen that adds depth and dimension.
TRIPLE C-WEED PRESSED POWDER–in “Tanami”, this was an instant favorite. I love the light-weight formula and natural, yet full coverage. The powder does not dry the skin, and is great to carry on the go.
E-Z EYE ROLLERBALL EYESHADOW–in “Bambari”, this product is rightfully named, “E-Z”, because it truly is just that. In this shimmery brown color, the rollerball eyeshadow could not be easier to apply 0r more convenient to carry! A simple glide over the eyelid is all it takes, and, unlike some other lines of rollerball eyeshadow, the powder doesn’t get stuck or come on too concentrated. This product goes on smooth and evenly.
LASH INTENSIFIER TREATMENT AND LENGTHENING MASCARA–in “Golden Triangle”. I’ll admit, I was especially interested in this mascara for its dual purpose and forest green color. I’ve never used or even seen green mascara, so I was excited to give it a try. The formula appeared dry at first, but the curved brush allows for an even and clump-free application. And, the green tint intensified my brown eye color! NOTE: this mascara does not lengthen or volumize; it simply darkens and separates your lashes. However, on the other side of the tube is a lash treatment that does! Who doesn’t love a two-for-one deal?
EYE INTENSIFIER PENCIL–in “Zaire”, this incredibly smooth jumbo eyeliner with smudge brush helps achieve the perfect brown smokey eye. Plus, I like to use it as an eyebrow filler! The smudge brush on the end is perfect for distributing the color to match the natural shape of your eyebrows. Another one of my personal favorites.
