"Starting with Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. This is one that you guys would not stop telling me I needed to get. So I got it and I've tried it. It's probably one of my top three favorites. It has that [...] tapered wand, little fine tooth brush."
"My new favorite favorite mascara is from Thrive Cosmetics. It's their Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara, and it is a beauty. It only takes one coat to give me long, silky lashes that last all day. If you love a tubing mascara, then you will love this mascara because you put it on once, it stays put all day. It doesn't flake, it doesn't smudge, it doesn't come off until you take it off."

"A lot of people had recommended the Thrive Causemetics mascara. It's called Liquid Lash Extensions and this is great, just about as good as my Cali Ray. When you pull the brush out, the squeegee, you can feel it squeegeeing. I really like the brush on this beautiful mascara. It really makes my lashes look long and sleek and just great. So loving this, and it is easy to remove as well with the double cleanse that I use."
"Next up is the Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. I already had my repurchase of these in hand, so here's my replacement. I typically use these a little bit longer than you're supposed to. I think a tube is supposed to be used for three to four months, correct me if I'm wrong, but I usually use them for six months, and I know it's bad, but I'll try and do better next time, I guess. It's hard when I feel like there's still a ton of product left in there and I haven't had any eye infections or things like that, so it's hard to just discard it without feeling a little wasteful."
"Then I just got to do a little bit of mascara, Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. It's ruined playing with other mascaras because it's so good. It's a tubing mascara, so tubing mascaras are awesome. They're kind of annoying to wash off, but not as annoying to wash off as waterproof regular mascara is. That is a chore."

"This is my Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara, a great tubing mascara. I absolutely love it, I repurchased it. If you're into mascaras, I really like tubing mascaras, I just find they stand up, they give you more length. This is my favorite and it's kind of ruined trying new mascaras for me unless they're tubing mascaras. I've still tried a ton of other tubing mascaras and nothing quite has held up to the standard of that one."
"Next I'm going for my mascara, which is my new tube of the Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. Literally just got this tube, opened it, haven't used it yet. [...] So it's the crowning first use. Love that stuff."

"Last but not least, the Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. This is a tubing mascara, and if you haven't ever tried a tubing mascara, I think you should try it. Some people, most people, end up liking it, not everybody, but a lot of people end up really liking it, and if you hate it you'll really hate it. But I finally had a couple friends try it and they were happy, so it's not for everybody, but it's really nice. Although when I go to the chiropractor I end up tearing up, and then it ends up everywhere because it's not really waterproof, but it doesn't smudge. It's not waterproof, you know what I mean. [...] So I walked around with mascara all over my eye the rest of the day."

The Only Makeup Products I've Repurchased 😍 My Most Purchased Makeup & Beauty Products of All Time
"The Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara is 26 bucks. I love this stuff, it's wonderful, I always have one backup. It's a nice mascara, it's a tubing mascara so it doesn't run as easily as like a non-waterproof mascara does, it's kind of stubborn. It has silicones in there that kind of wrap little spheres around each eyelash, so when they come out they come off kind of like little tubes. It's easy to get a nice length of lashes with this one. I really like the brush they use, and they also have many different shades of this mascara now, so if you don't like black they have a brown, if you don't like brown they have a plum. [...] I've repurchased this one many times, I've gifted it many times as well."
Best Skincare & Beauty Buys for Cyber Monday - The Best Deals on Skincare Favorites Right Now!
"Thrive Cosmetics makes my favorite mascara, the one I'm wearing today, pretty much every day: the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. They have it in several different shades, it's a tubing mascara. I used to love trying different mascaras out, every brand has three or four different flagship mascaras these days, but after using this one it took any joy out of testing other mascaras because nothing compares to this one. The only thing that slightly compares is the one from Milani, their highly rated lash extensions, that's the only one that can compare. I typically buy mascara from this brand a couple times a year, and this is always one of them. It's regularly 26 bucks, and free shipping is the key thing to watch for on the sale."

May Empties - What Skincare & Beauty Product Empties I've Finished This Month
"I have been reaching a lot for the tubing mascara from Thrive Causemetics called the Liquid Lash Extensions. It has a great stiff applicator which allows me to really hit every single lash, it gives incredible lift and, of course, staying power. I bought this ages ago but for some reason didn't use it every day until quite recently, and that's because I'm finding that every other mascara I have is starting to smudge. This mascara stays put until you take it off. It did take me a while to figure out how to remove tubing mascara, but once I figured it out it changed everything. I have this in brown, which is what I'm wearing today, and I also have it in this deep blue, which is just so fantastic and really cool in the sunshine, the eyes just look great."

"The very last item would always be mascara, I would never not have a mascara. This is the Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara, a tubing mascara, which I actually really like. I didn't like them in the past, I like them now. I have this both in brown as well as cobalt blue because I'm having a bit of a blue moment, it's just so nice in the sun when it catches it. I'm going to use the brown today because I think it's going to show up on camera more than the blue."

"I love the Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. This is their tubing mascara. I have been using mascara for gosh, over 10 years, and I love it because it doesn't smudge, it doesn't wipe off on my upper lid because I have hooded lids, and it's important that it not wipe off on the top part of my lid. It does not irritate my eyes, it doesn't crumble or go into my eyes throughout the day, and it washes off with just water, so easy. If you've not used a tubing mascara, I challenge you to try one, this one's a good place to start. This one gives me good volume and good length, it's the perfect volume, length, smudge proof, no crumbs whatsoever type of tubing mascara for me. It also contains some nourishing ingredients to promote lash health over time, it has some castor oil in it, some shea butter, so it helps hydrate those lashes and keep them healthy."
"This is the best mascara from ORA. I was hesitant to try it because I'm such a diehard fan of the Thrive tubing mascara, but I really do like this, it's really really nice."

"I'm going to pop on some mascara today. I wanted to use my Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. I'm going to make sure to really get the roots of the lashes with this, especially since this eyeshadow look ended up being a little bit more pearly. I like to have a little more definition at the lash line with mascara, and then it kind of helps create the illusion of a bit of a thin eyeliner without actually applying eyeliner."
Trying The New 'Dupes-Only' Makeup Brand... THIS IS INSANE!
"Let's start by applying what I think is the original, which is the Thrive Causemetics. This is a great tubing mascara, one of my favorites if not my favorite. [...] The brush makes all the difference, you could have the same formula with five different brushes and you're going to get a completely different effect on the lashes. [...] There's something I like about how the Thrive Causemetics applies with that more grippy brush, the more silicone molded brush, versus a bristle brush."

10 Beauty Products I'm Using ALL SUMMER LONG 😍
"It's really important to pick a mascara that's going to hold up through the humidity, the heat, the water, whatever, so for me personally that's when I go into my tubing mascaras. My two favorites are the CI Ray one and then also the one from Thrive Causemetics. I love a tubing mascara because you literally just don't have to worry about it smudging or flaking, and then it comes off so easily at the end of the day, or for some reason like you end up going swimming, you have a tubing mascara on, you can just simply remove it and it's not going to create raccoon eyes all around your eyes. I love a good tubing mascara. For me it's essential for summer."

"I'm not sure Thrive Causemetics has ever won an Allure Best of Beauty award, but I feel like their mascara should definitely get one. It beefed up my lashes and I love a good volumizing mascara."
"The Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara is a cult classic for a reason. I did include it in my tubing mascara roundup this year and it kind of ranked in the middle somewhere. What I have found is that I need a lash comb with it. If I use the comb through and then remove the little bit of residual that I get, it doesn't transfer. I've also let it stand open for a little while, since I learned that tubing mascaras when they're very wet, if you leave them open for a little while and they have the opportunity to dry out just a touch, they apply so much better. [...] Along with picking up a lash comb, that's been the perfect combination. I'm getting less fallout, and I like the look a lot better because it's more of a natural look as opposed to the spidery look I was getting. The comb just helps comb out the additional clumps and smooth everything out."

Natural, Feathery, EveryDay Look! (Ranking YOUR 7 TUBING MASCARA FAVORITES - Over 50)
"Thrive is the tubing mascara that put tubing mascaras on the map on socials a few years ago, so this is the one that most tubing mascaras are compared to now. As far as application, I was really disappointed. It does give a long, separated look, but it's so wet and there's so much cleanup involved. I mean, I can't blink my eyes, I would have to sit there and let it dry forever, so this only got a two out of five for application. The look is really pretty, they're long, the lashes are separated, they're glossy, not as natural as The Hourglass but still kind of what you would expect from a tubing mascara, and because they were just a little bit too shiny and spiky for me personally, I gave this a four out of five for the look. Smudging, this thing doesn't budge, no smudging at all during my smudge test, I was very impressed. As far as wash off, it did take a little bit of work. I was thinking that it would only take about three swipes and then come off nicely in tubes, it only got a three out of five for wash off. It took me a while to get this off, similar to The Hourglass. [...] It did take me a while, like four to five swipes, to [...] kind of get this off. It didn't really come off as well as I'd hoped, I did have to do a little bit of effort to get this mascara off, so that was a four out of five."
"I still haven't tried it. I get asked constantly to try it and I just don't know why I haven't gotten around to [...] it. I like it, I don't know if I would continue to use it, but I understand why people love it. It's tubing, right, it's crazy. I think it looks too spidery, it's got that fibery texture, it thickens your lashes and stuff, but [...] it looks a little clumpy in my opinion. I could see that color, it's just not my look, but it definitely holds your lashes in place and makes them also look longer, and I think it holds a curl if you were to curl your lashes. I love a double cleanse, so I actually love the experience of rubbing the mascara with a cleansing balm or cleansing oil and it smears out, [...] little bits fall off. It's a really cool brand, and they're also cruelty free and vegan."
