Best vegan mascara for thinning lashes

If you asked me what my 2 must-have makeup products would be, my answer would be a good tinted sunscreen and a mascara! These are two products that I cannot go out without ๐Ÿ™‚ I will be providing a review of the vegan sunscreen products later but today I am sharing my favourite vegan mascaras with you.

Please note, it is not a sponsored post but my honest opinion about the products. Not that I am saying the sponsored posts are not honest. Just confirming I was not paid to review these products.ย 

Thinning eyelashes – is it a genetic or an age issue

Because I have never in my life had long and thick eyelashes, I started using mascara when I was 15. I tried many natural remedies to try and grow more lashes, but let’s face it, it is what it is.

My sister has long and thick lashes. My brother has long and thick lashes. And I am the “white crow” in the family with very average and even thinning eyelashes.

 

Best vegan mascara for thinning lashes

My theory is that when I was a kid, I was prone to a stye (hordeolum) infection. If you had ever experienced that disease, you might remember how painful and uncomfortable it is.

Anyway, that was probably why I’d lost so many eyelashes and they hardly grew back.

If the length of my eyelashes has never been of huge concern for me, their thickness is what makes the eyes beautiful in my humble opinion.

If you have thick but short eyelashes, you can (if you want) use the extensions to make them look longer.

However, the extensions are not helpful in my case.

Thus, a good mascara is a must for me. Aaand, since I only want to use cruelty-free and vegan products, it has to be a vegan mascara ๐Ÿ™‚

Vegan Mascara Review

There are a few criteria I will be following to explain what I liked or didn’t like about each of these. The links to the products are my affiliate links meaning that if you click on any and make a purchase I mayย make a small commission. This won’t affect you in terms of the price you will be paying.

However, my favourite mascara is very good at making the eyelashes look longer as well!

I have 4 mascaras to compare.

Which one is a “no-thank-you” and which one is my favourite?

Keep on reading ๐Ÿ˜‰

Ciatรฉ London Wonderland

I must admit. I purchased this mascara after watching a Youtube review of Ciate vs Tarte. The vlogger noted that she liked the Ciate London mascara better for a few reasons: it was easier to apply, it stayed longer on the lashes without smudging under the eyes, and it looked more natural without the “spider-legs” effect.

I was so excited about it and could not wait to get my package!

When my order came in, I opened the mascara package and tried to put the mascara on. Aaaand… nothing happened…

It was so dry that no matter how many times I put it back into the tube, it came out absolutely dry.

๐Ÿ™

I took it back to the store and showed it to the salesperson, and she didn’t even ask me if I wanted to try another one…

I am not sure if it was just my bad luck getting an expired product or that is a common problem with the brand. I would be happy to find out what your experience with it was like if you had ever used it.

Smashbox

Best vegan mascara for thinning lashes

Luckily, my experience with Smashbox was much better than with Ciate London.

One of the benefits of Smashbox mascara is that even with the daily use it will last for a couple of months. Price-wise, it is just a little bit cheaper than Tarte and CL.

Smashbox is the right mascara for you if you like a natural look. It won’t make your lashes look extremely fuller or longer. It is just that right natural look you want during the day.

Tarte – Lights, Camera, Lashes – 4-in-1 Mascara

Best vegan mascara for thinning lashes

Tarte is by far my favourite mascara for those dramatic lashes for the date night out! Please note, that the waterproof mascara is not vegan but is still cruelty-free.

I only use the non-waterproof mascara, as I find it is tear-proof enough (in case you are like me – easy to cry when watching a good movie or even a heartwarming ad on TV) ๐Ÿ™‚

However, it is also the most expensive on my list. It lasts for at least 3 months even if you use it daily.

They have recently changed the package, but it looks like the formula has stayed the same.

Some users found it to be clumpy. It wasn’t a problem for me, as once again, I like the dramatic look of the lashes it creates.

Pacifica Stellar Gaze Mascara

Best vegan mascara for thinning lashes

Pacifica SG is the latest addition to my mascara collection, and it seems to have become one of my favourite ones (after Tarte).

By an accident, I have ordered a brown colour instead of the regular black. At first, I thought to return it but then decided to give it a try.

That was a good decision.

Once again, if you are after a more natural look, you can give it a try. If you are after a more dramatic look, you can still get it with the black one. I am going to order the black one as well next time.

It is also on a more affordable side, price-wise. I got a mini size, and I think it is a good size that will last you for a while before it dries out. That was one of the concerns posted by the users. So, if you don’t use it every day, then the mini size (both in Smashbox and Pacifica) is the size you may want to consider.

Have you used one of these vegan mascaras?

Please let me know in the comments below. Was there anything specific that you did or didn’t like about any of these?

If you haven’t tried them yet, do you think this review was helpful for you? Is there anything that I forgot to mention that you are looking for in a good mascara?

Remember to share this post with your friends if you find it helpful ๐Ÿ™‚

      Unfortunately Estee Lauder is not a cruelty-free brand, but Pretty Vulgar is! I haven’t tried it though ๐Ÿ™‚

    I did not know that the Tarte mascara was Vegan! I love this! I’ve never put much thought as to what goes into our mascara!

      Yes, Anna, it is unfortunate how many chemicals are added to the products we use! Tarte is not an all-vegan brand but they are claiming to be cruelty-free which is great! Thanks for stopping by ๐Ÿ™‚

Instagram post 2196917641764201836_8448079838 I know everyone is talking Christmas now. But we have only 20 days left until 2020, and I thought the numbers look kinda nice, so it is worth mentioning that fact!

Funny enough, I like numbers, but I hate math! I would always look at the carsโ€™ licence plates and notice if some have interesting numbers on them ๐Ÿ˜Š

Am I the only one weird that way? ๐Ÿ˜

Anyway, I have huge plans for the new year, and am looking forward to it!

With just 20 days left this year, there is a lot to reflect on and analyze.

What are your hopes for the NY? . .

For me, it is bananas (I am sure I was a monkey in my previous life), borscht (you will have to pronounce with the Russian accent without a โ€œtโ€ at the end ๐Ÿ˜‰); and noodles! Any variations of noodles will work for me!

The pictured bowl has all the awesome ingredients and is soooo delish!

South Africaโ€™s contestant, Zozibini Tunzi, took the crown to her home country.

I was listening to her answering the questions and hoping she wins the contest!

She is a great blend of the beauty and intelligence. I loved her last words on the stage before the announcement.

What a beautiful message to the girls around the world.

We need to dream big.

We Can make dreams come true!

And We Will.

I know I look tired there ๐Ÿ˜ It was a long day after the night out celebrating Christmas with my colleagues, and then cleaning the house and decorating the tree ๐Ÿ˜Š

But that red sweater dress is my fav for pre-holidays outfits! It is sleeveless, therefore, the gray sweater that keeps me warm ๐Ÿ˜Š

What are your favourite pre-holiday pieces?

It was pretty comfortable to dance in it, and it made me feel so feminine.

Btw, dancing was such a great cardio replacement ๐Ÿ˜ 
Back to the gym tomorrow, but today I am letting myself to slack ๐Ÿ˜Š

Skirt sounds more glamorous, but pants are more comfortable for dancing. And I will be dancing there ๐Ÿ’ƒ ๐Ÿ˜‰

Instagram post 2190475315944813672_8448079838 My Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping is over!

Here is what I got:

1) a new 11-cup food processor - as you can never have too much of homemade hummus and salsa ๐Ÿ˜

2) new set of dumbells! - as working out at home in winter is a better alternative than doing nothing ๐Ÿ˜‰

3) Monat Rejuveniqe Oil - as That Thing Is Sick! Oh My Gosh! My hair looks soooo healthy and I donโ€™t need any styling products after the wash!

Seriously, if you can afford only one skincare or hair care product for the rest of the year, let it be the Rejuveniqe Oil!

The link is in the profile, you can thank me later ๐Ÿ˜‰

Instagram post 2190103163487855008_8448079838 Did you have fun all last week? Did you buy what you were hoping to buy?

I finally got a bigger food processor! 11 cups! Now I can make hummus in just one batch ๐Ÿ˜

Did you count BF emails youโ€™ve got? I will need a year to clean my email box ๐Ÿ˜

Anyway, if you still were thinking about a few gift ideas for you or your family, the Cyber Monday is on ๐Ÿ˜‰

Monat is having a sale today, and if you havenโ€™t tried their vegan hair and skincare products, it is a perfect time to try them.

My personal favourite is Rejuveniqe oil! If you can only afford one thing, spoil yourself to it!

I use it for both my hair and skin, and it is amazing!

It makes my skin glow and my hair looks so healthy!

Have a wonderful day!
