tarte lights, camera, LASHES Mascara Review

tarte light,camera, lashes mascara
I've tried this mascara on and off over the years but have never done an official review. Ulta frequently has it as a deal and steal during their 21 Days of Beauty events which are held in March and September which, by the way, get me every time! Be on the look out for that great beauty event. 

Let me start by saying my mascara preference is a lengthening mascara that defines each lash, goes on smooth with no clumping and no lashes sticking together. Some people like volume and a thick, spiky, Twiggy lash look that just so happens to be hot for fall 2017. But, that's not for me.

Tarte lights, camera, lashes is a vegan, 4 in 1 mascara meaning it's supposed to:
1. lengthen
2. curl
3. volumize
4. condition

This black mascara has a purple leather looking sleeve with a snake skin print that is made from man made materials (in China). It's vegan, not tested on animals and has nice ingredients like olive oil and rice bran wax. Tarte recommends a wiggle of the brush as you apply for the best application results. The brush is a classic looking mascara brush.

I see that lots of people love this mascara and give it high reviews. I want to love this mascara but it doesn't live up to the hype for me.

1. lengthen- it doesn't do much lengthening for me.
2. curl- it doesn't curl my difficult to curl lashes.
3. volumize- it does volumize but it is clumpy and the lashes stick together.
4. condition- it feels okay on my lashes but I can't say that I noticed my lashes are in better condition. Maybe I have to use it for a longer period of time.

For me, it doesn't go on smooth. You can see the small clumps of mascara. If I apply another coat after it has dried to freshen it up, it flakes. It is a messy removal but that isn't a 'don't buy it' factor for me. Many mascaras have a messy removal.

I have purchased this mascara more than once as I already mentioned, so I don't hate it. Perhaps I would get better application results using a different brush.

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out.

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j

Dermatofibroma on Leg

A Dermatofibroma is an unsightly brown or red bump that is very common on the legs. They are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas and are more common in women than men. They can hurt, itch and become inflamed easily. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  I have tried lots of home remedies on my dermatofibroma. Some help it look better than others but the ugly thing is still there! Read more about dermatofibroma remedies. There is only one way to remove it for good...surgery. It must be surgically excised out. A dermatofibroma goes deep into the skin. It will only grow back if it is cut off of the skin at surface level. The problem with the removal is it leaves a long scar that is about 2 inches or so long. It has to be done that way to be able to sew the skin back together so it is smooth and not puckery. Here is a picture of a scar from the removal of a dermatofibroma. This scar was also treated with a laser to imp
