If you’re constantly on the hunt for a lengthening mascara that doesn’t clump or smudge, but also doesn’t take a jackhammer to remove — we’ve got good news. Deemed “lash extensions in a tube,” Tarte’s Tartelette tubing mascara is loved by HuffPost readers and reviewers alike for giving that ”‘wow’ factor without fake lashes, lasting all day and washing off easily with just soap and water.
Usually going for $28 a tube, we found a coveted gift set including the full-size black tubing mascara and a full-size of the brand’s juicy lip plumping gloss, on sale for the first time ever, for just $22.40. That means you’re getting two products for less than the price of just the mascara. Sounds like a no-brainer to us.
It’s not your grandma’s formula, though your grandma may love it.
Quick lash lesson: “tubing mascara” is made from polymers rather than pigmented oils or waxes to create “tubes” around each individual lash, to build them and extend length. This makes the mascara long-wearing and resistant to smudging, sweat and flaking — so it’s no wonder why it’s so loved by users with mature skin, thin and light eyelashes and people prone to eye irritation. A reviewer in their 70s says the product brings their lashes back “to their glory days,” with others saying that Tarte is so good, they can throw their falsies in the trash.
