While on the search for that perfect-does-it-all mascara to replace my beloved and discontinued Lash Stylist, I’ve decided to give the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara a try. Why did I chose this one? The Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara claims to be a 4-in-1 product that will lengthen, curl, volumize, and condition your lashes and increase the volume of your lashes up to 424%.

Not only that but it is also formulated without mineral oil, paraben, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, synthetic fragrance, and is cruelty free which is perfect for those of you with sensitive eyes.

Now… on to the testing!

Behold my poor, wimpy, sparse, almost non existent bare lashes.

And after using Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara. While I found that it did lengthen and manage to hold a curl to my wimpy lashes, I didn’t see a 424% change of volume… I’d say 200% volume increase at the most. I liked that it dried quite quickly which makes for better holding of the curl, but I found it a little bit clumpy because of the fact that it dries perhaps a little bit too fast.

Overall, I think this is among the better mascaras I have tried and would definitely consider using it again, but I think that for its price of $19 I would prefer to stock up on a few drugstore Mascaras for that same amount of money and will do just the same job.
