I think that Thrive Mascara is absolutely hands down the best mascara I have ever used and I have tried a ton. I have extremely sensitive eyes and this one never bothers them. I actually think it comes off pretty easily. I also think from the video the Thrive side actually looks blacker and definitely more curled on you. I agree about only using one coat - adding another doesn't make that much of a difference. It's a bit pricier but I like the idea that the company gives back. Great review!
If you're going to do 2, you've got to do it right away and not wait. Tubing mascara tends to be that way. Sometimes I just brush the tips of the lashes either before doing a full coat or after finishing. You get some extra length but without extra clumps. I do that with Tubing and regular mascara. It comes in handy.
I agree. Hands down the best mascara. I have short, fine lashes. Just crappy lashes, but this mascara helps my lashes out so much. Makes me actually look like I have lashes. The best. Nothing compares. I recommend it to everyone.
Agreed!! I have tried tons of mascaras and thrive is by far the best. No eye irritation and lashes look long and no smearing .. the eyelid waterproof primer is amazing!!!
Thrive is hands-down the best mascara I have ever tried. Just be aware that you do not let it dry in between coats if you choose to put on the second one. But for me it’s one coat and done… And no primer!
Eye twitch fix from a nurse!!!!! Try a magnesium supplement once a day in the morning! Should help with tension headaches as well. Magnesium controls the regulation of electrical impulses in the muscles.
Wow! I am shocked at how popular this mascara is! I ordered a tube, tried it twice and returned it. I have fine short lashes and I found it clumped with no separation and the more I tried to work through it the worse it got and ended up on my eyelids. It’s the only mascara I have ever returned. For my old lashes, it just didn’t work. ☹️ I use Lancôme Lash Idole and it works very well for me but is expensive.
I got some thrive mascara for Christmas. And I am in love with this mascara. I used great lash all of my life because I have natural ly long lashes. But now that faux lashes are in and I'm horrible with glue the thrive gave me the length I was looking for with out fake lashes or glue. Love it!!
Mandy, your bare lashes are twice as long as mine with mascara..but..for me, Thrive mascara is fantastic for me..it doesn’t smudge even in the Texas sun....
I was in love with the Telescopic mascara until recently they changed the formula seems like, and it now smudges on me. Now I’m on the search for a new one unfortunately.
I just received my new Thrive mascara. I really hope it works just like this ad says. I’ve never had a lot of lashes but since I’m taking chemo, I hardly have any lashes left. I really hope it works. Thanks
Maybe your two coats of primer is making it difficult to remove the Thrive, because mine just comes off with warm water. I don't use a primer underneath.
I think the Thrive side looks better. It looks even better with the primer; makes your lashes look longer. I have been using the Thrive mascara for about two weeks now and am really impressed. It may be my new favorite mascara. I have short lashes and it does a great job. As for removal, I use organic coconut oil (Now Foods) and removal is a breeze.
I read this on Thrive’s website: “If you like to apply more than one coat, we recommend applying the second coat immediately after while the formula is still wet. Doing this will ensure that you don’t experience any clumping or flaking and your mascara wand will be able to effortlessly comb through your lashes to create definition. If your mascara has started to dry before applying a second coat, this step becomes a bit more difficult.” Maybe why it’s clumping some with 2nd coat? Hope your eye has stopped twitching!🙂
Call me contrary but I was ready to buy the Thrive until I saw you in the Bare Minerals. I think the Bare Minerals looks much more natural, not as spikey and 'spider-leggy' and chunky as the Thrive; and I just think it looks prettier. So I'm buying the Bare Minerals, lol. Thank you so much. :)
I love my Thrive mascara! I received a sample from my ipsy bag and now it's the only mascara I use. I'm on my second tube. I usually do a heavy first coat. It took me a minute to get use the removal. I was so excited that my local Ulta carries Thrive but it sells out quick
I have used two tubes of Thrive mascara, and it works well for me. I don't get the length you do, but you already have great, long lashes. I just use warm water, and my mascara comes off with no problem.
They both look very good on your lashes...not much noticeable difference. Only drawback would be the 5.00 difference in price and the way that it washes off. My go to has been Tarte lights, camera, lashes but maybe time to try your Lashtopia. Great video Mandy
I have been using it for months and I love it! I really havent noticed fibers in the formula nor has it improved my lash condition. Lashes are the same length without mascara as always.
I got a thrive cosmetics mascara for a present (two actually )from the Program Dress For Success . I LOVE IT . It is the first mascara I have ever used that did not flake , did not dry my eyelashes or break them ...did not smear under my eyes , even using it on bottom lashes in 100 degree summer weather . CAME OFF EASILY ....its really good .
I got a Thrive sample size from Ipsy and I'm in love with it. I wanted to let you know that I find it as the easiest mascara to take off WHEN I'm in the shower. I find that I have to let myself be in the shower for at least 5 minutes before I can take it off the easiest. I just use my fingers and pull it right off my eyelashes. I find it to be the consistency of peel-off nail polish from the 90s and it's so fun! The best part about the removal process is that I don't look like a raccoon when I get out of the shower and I don't have to rub my eyes to get it off...just simply and gently pull it right off my eyelashes. I do have to say that if I'm using a makeup remover wipe to get it off, then it's not as easy because of the peeling effect and it gets a little messy, but then again...the wipe is cold if I use it. Shower is the best removal method that I've tried.
I have used thrive mascara for the past 2 years everyday. Its the best mascara I've used and I love buying and trying makeup. I first heard about it on tatis channel and decided to try it because how long it made her lashes look and how easy it came off and it definitely comes off easy and with just warm water. I take mine off in the shower . With nothing to help it come off besides pulling at it with my fingers a little and it comes off in long strands. I personally Love it and keep using it because it's so easy to take off and looks great 😉
I’ve used the Thrive mascara for 6 months now and have never had an issue removing it! It’s actually one of the reasons I love it so much, it removes so easy and mess free! I shower every night so I just let the warm water hit my face and it’s completely gone when I get out of the shower.
I have to say thrive is one of the best mascaras I’ve ever used. I love how easily it clumps off when washing face or in the shower. The other mascaras smear & leave me with ratcoon eyes but not this one Plus it doesn’t irritate & leaves a nice gloss look. Bcuz of this, thrive is worth the $$.
Your left eye is noticeably longer, thicker and opens your eye much more than your right after both products are applied. I just got mine and I have extremely short lashes and I found it pretty darn good. Thanks for the video!
I love the thrive mascara also. It never leaves me with black smudges under my eyes like the others seem to do. It also stays on when swimming but comes off easily when I cleanse my face. The only problem I have is that living in Australia makes it really pricey when you factor in the exchange rate & shipping. Would be great if we could purchase here! 😁
My favorite fiber mascara is KUSH. After trying so many mascara's I fell in love. Recently my girlfreind had me to try her Thrive. It looked nice, almost the same but I wasn't impressed enough to give up Kush. Like you said, that brush is so thin and it takes several applications, where Kush doesn't take but two at the most. Just for my friend I will try Thrive to give it a fair shot. Glad you made this video because you have introduced me to Bare Minerals. I will also check that one out. Thank you.
Mandy, the eye twitching is most likely due to stress and lack of sleep. I didn’t notice it in the video but have the same problem once in a while and that’s what my doctors have said. I still don’t have a favorite mascara and I’m bummed because my lumi lash lift got cancelled today due to the 14 inches of snow we got in NC! Love you❤️!
Lydia Kilby Eye twitching is also a symptom of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium strengthens nerve communication with the brain. Works for leg cramps that occur at night as well.
Palladio 747 - that’s so true, thanks for reminding me of that. I take magnesium whenever I have cramps - it mostly happens in my feet and abdomen. What’s interesting is that I’ve never linked the eye twitching to the cramps! I need to pay attention to see if they occur at the same time- I’m almost certain that they do.
Lydia Kilby -For me eye twitching is strongly triggered by inadequate sleep and stress, especially when they occur together over several days. I do mind my magnesium carefully.
Oh man....what a snow storm!! I hope you stayed safe!! I think it is lack of sleep for sure. I am making myself go to bed earlier and so far no more twitching. :) xoxo
I agree that the two coats of Thrive looks chunkier and the Bare Minerals looks much more natural. I only like the Thrive when it’s used as one coat. I saw the same thing with other UA-cam videos for this mascara.
I have all the lash primers you use based on your previous video on how you do your lashes. And I also have the thrive and bare minerals mascaras. Thrive is hands down the winner for me. BUT - it’s biggest flaw is that it does get clumpy. Love this video!!
Thrive is hands down THE. BEST. MASCARA. EVERRRRR! It’s also soooo easy to remove. Just use warm water and swipe with your fingers a few times and BAM.. no smudging and it’s all off. I can’t live without thrive mascara!
Thrive is amazing...they now carry brown/black and it is perfect. The waterproof eyeliner is great with this mascara. I have blonde long lashes and this mascara totally extends them to the light, ❤😷
Thank you for your review. I have used both mascaras and like both. I don't have any trouble taking off the thrive. I take mine off in the shower with just warm water and gently push downward on my lashes with eyes closed....comes right off! I also just find 1 coat of both mascara's is great for me...you have beautiful lashes!!
Interesting. Thrive is my holy grail mascara and I use the Jane Iredale primer with it. It comes off with my first cleanse day eraser oil and warm water for me without any difficulty. I wonder if it is your second primer making it difficult to remove. I have never tried the Bare Minerals so can't compare there. Enjoyed the video!!
Thank so much for the review. I'm going to try the thrive as well as bare minerals, since I use that for makeup already. As for the twitch, take magnesium :)
I love the thrive mascara!!! Been using it for at least a year and a half… 3 tubes so far and about to order some more. They do sometimes have it for buy one get one free…so that’s what I did last go around. Ps you have amazing eyelashes!!! Both mascaras looked great on you!! Thanks for doing this review!!
I can’t wait to try the thrive ✨ your lashes are pretty to begin with tho . Yes the Thrive looked longer the Bare minerals look thicker. Thank you for this review beautiful . I need a smaller brush my lashes are naturals curly and I need that small brush to get in there really good.
Tubing mascaras must not be allowed to dry between coats and thrive is the bomb. Love everything about it. Costly yes....still amazing and never ever flakes. Thanks thrive for tip taking off....
Primers “uncurl” my eyelashes, as does too much mascara. So far, I am loving the Thrive mascara. Easy removal, too! Thrive is the first mascara that doesn’t irritate my eyes. That alone is priceless.
I do one coat of the Thrive on both sides of the lashes, then use a L'Oreal or Tarte to make them a tad bit more voluminous. Makes your lashes look amazing! Something to think about. And I love the Thirve! I will purchase again.
OMG! I cracked up when I saw you separating your lashes with a barrette because that's what I used to use way back in the '60's to separate mine. For the past 20 or 30 years I have used a straight pin because it is much easier to get between the lashes (but don't poke your eye out!) I didn't care for the Thrive and gave it to my daughter. However I know several people who only use it on their bottom lashes because it doesn't smudge under the eyes. I have been looking for an HG mascara for a long time and feel I have tried most of them out there. I have not, however, tried the Bare Minerals and will go to Ulta tomorrow and get some of it. I used to love the Illegal Lengths by Maybelline (as did a lot of other people) and then they changed the formula of it and it stunk after that. I have never found a mascara I liked as well as the old formula of that.
I got thrive yesterday and it just reminded me why I never buy mascara with plastic brussel. It hurts when applying it close to my roots and it's too wet for me and created spider lashes on me. And when I tried to separate it with a lash comb the tubes were coming off and it was dry. I'll probably keep it another week or two to see of I can find a better way to apply it or if it drys out some but so far I hate it and will probably be going back
Thanks Mandy, but, I agree with you regarding the Bare Minerals mascara looking more natural. Thanks for taking the time out to share your review with us. Best of luck!!
Hi Regina! It is actually just a gloss. It's from Beautycounter and it's a holiday launch that they don't sell anymore. Bare Shimmer is my fave from them though!
Just bought the bare minerals lashtopia, haven’t tried it yet but looking forward to it. Using lash paradise and I really don’t like it, it gets all over my eyes...😜
I finally remembered to buy the Lashtopia Mascara and WOW! This is a great mascara. Big beautiful lashes and no flaking or smudging. I don't know why this never got on my radar to try. Maybe because I don't really care for the other Bare minerals mascara. But this mascara is a winner for me.
You probably already figured out your cause by now, but my eye had been twitching for a year before I finally mentioned it to my doctor. He had me start taking a calcium supplement and it stopped within a week. Also I liked the Thrive on you!
Both of the mascaras looked very pretty on you. Personally I use the Thrive, mainly because it’s the only one I’ve found (other than Red Apple Cosmetics ) that doesn’t irritate my very sensitive eyes. It lengthens my lashes the best, although it does take me a minute to remove. I’m always on the hunt for less expensive vegan mascaras that lengthen & don’t clump or flake, but so far Thrive works the best for me. Loved your comparison. Also, fluttering can be caused from anxiety, low electrolytes or not enough sleep. My daughter & I get it often and even on other areas such as the face, thigh, fingers, etc. It’s so annoying; hope yours goes away soon Mandy 😘
So glad you love it too Susan!! I think my twitch must have been from lack of sleep. There was a stretch there that I was lucky to get 6 hours a night. I am making myself go to bed earlier lately and it seems to have stopped. Thanks!!
Two different primers, I don't even use one and I don't use an eyelash curler either. *OMG* I'm lazy. My fave mascara is Telescopic-Carbon Black. 😉 Ithink I need to try out this *Thrive*
Comes in brown now!!! Warm water works for me. I just let the warm wash rag sit on my eyes for a few seconds. ..then wipe. Then I use my hands to splash my face.
I love wearing lash primers. The L’Oréal one is great, so is a Milani one I have in a purple tube….but my favorite is the Urban Decay Perversion primer. Would love to see more Jane Iredale reviews, I see the line in Blue Mercury all the time, but don’t know anything about it….
I only use thrive mascara I love that it melts off in the shower. Does bare minerals mascara do the same thing? I hate when mascara sticks to my skin ugh! I don't want to have to use make up remover. Thanks!
Hi Mandy, I have tried Thrive mascara and loved the way it looked. I am currently using Hourglass Caution mascara and that is also a top contender for me.
Thank you for the review I can feel your pain about the bald spot. I have had one for a few months, and although it is growing back, it sure is slow! Guess old age! This was a result from waterproof mascara!
Hi mandy.. eye twitch.. i had it for months... try running warm water in the shower under it & then use a face wash to circular motion rub your eyelid & wash.. (my eye doc told me its ur glands that can be blocked up) use hot compressions too.. that worked for me & has been my savior!! Hope this helps!
hmm...I'd be tempted to try the thrive mascara, but I am in LOVE with Bare Minerals Lashtopia. I even like the Lash Domination on my lower lashes or if I go to crazy with the Lashtopia and make it too think on the ends, I use the Lash Domination to dial it back a little. Great video! I've missed you. I've not been in youtube much lately. Lots going on in my world. Hope you and yours are well and enjoying to a blessed Christmas season.
Nice to see you Mandy!! My eyes twitch, stress & lack of sleep. Mary, Glitzy Fritzy, reviewed some thrive products & rated the mascara high. I thought your thrive eyelashes looked a smidge better. Have you ever tried the Mirenesse mascara, I'm researching this product. Have a blessed week.
The removal was an issue for me as well, until I figured out the method. I use Olay facial cleaning cloths, which foam up nicely for slip. Also, using a downward motion when washing makes the tubes slide right off. Now it's really quick and easy to remove. No pulling, no rubbing.
The thrive looked better with just the one coat. It was long and they were separated and nice. The second coat made them a little clumpy and they didn't even need the second coat anyway. Most do, but this one was better with one coat.
I actually found it to be flaky myself. I don’t pick my lashes. However, sometimes I will touch my lashes and when I touched it it literally came off and then when I cleaned it off my lashes, it came off almost in tubes. So it felt not apart of my lashes. It felt like it was just sitting on top of my lashes???Maybe I got an old one? I’ll give it another try bc it has been a while since I’ve used it.
I came to your channel to get information about the mascara but I love the fact that you mention psalms in your videos as well as taking the time to show us how the product works, You have a new subscriber 😃 God bless you 🌻 I will get my mascara
I love Thrive Cosmetics (their lip liner and lip gloss are amazing!). I'm a big fan of their mascara, and do find that I need to hold a warm, wet washcloth against my lashes for 30 seconds to remove the mascara easily and without risk of damaging my lashes. The other mascara I'm loving is Hourglass Caution Extreme - it's really fabulous!
Any tips on mascara that comes off on my eyelids during the day!!!!😩 I have eczema skin but my skin produces lots of oil and on m eyelids,So when im putting on mascara during the day because off my lashes touching my eyelids and the oilyness the mascara is coming off on my lids and makes my lids all black.And i did try every beauty hack there is ,i even tried different primers,concealers,setting sprays,powder hacks,waterproof mascaras ,you name it.....!and nothing is working😔It feels like when im doing my makeup I don’t want to put mascara anymore, and thats gonna look “stupid “.So instead I don’t makeup anymore!🙁And i really want to beacause i like it ,makes me feel confident.So if you can help🙏🏻please!
Silly question but how do you know when you have used all your mascara? How long should a “tube” of mascara last? I have always bought cheap stuff so just get a fresh one each month.
Stella Torgy Good question and not silly at all. I’ve had the same question. I tend to know I need a new one once it’s starts to dry out or I feel I’m not getting as much product on lashes anymore.
I have been wanting to try this mascara for a long time. But I have to read ingredient lists as I have so many allergies, and alcohol denatured is #4. I just use CG Lashblast Volume. It works well without bothering my eyes and comes off easily. Also wanted to let you know that PremierLook does sell samples of the Osmosis foundation (thanks for that heads up), and I’m looking forward to trying it. Great review!
For the EYe twitching... warm up water with chamomile tea 🍵 let it cool off a little and with a cloth or cotton ball clean your eye 👁. (The tea should be warm not hot) hope this helps. Natural remedy always work.
Obviously, because Thrive only needs one coat, it's more cost effective. That's a winner for me 😊😊😊. I'm using, and liking, Loreal Paradise mascara. You're probably in need of a good sleep (twitchy eye thing) and some relaxing days. Thanks for sharing this with us xxx 🎄🎄🎄 xxx
Love Bare inerals but I think the Thrive looked better almost like you had lash extensions or false eye lashes. Both beautiful & I think I’m going to try theThrive. Love your videos you are so natural & I feel like you are talking to your girlfriends 😍
I wonder how much better both would have worked if you hadn’t held the wands out drying while talking? You should dip and apply promptly so it doesn’t dry and therefore clump on the wand and then be clumpy on your lashes. Did you wipe the wands before applying and just edit that out?
I don't think that was it since I used both many many times before and after this video without talking in between, fresh out of the tube and the results are the same.
While I love the Thrive color stick, the mascara is the worst I have ever used. It immediately clumps your eyelashes together and it is too thick. When you remove it at night it literally comes off in pieces.
The absolute BEST mascara I have ever worn, AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, is L’Oreal Voluminous Super Star mascara. It has a primer that volumizes and the mascara that lengthens. I pay $3.99 for this at a discount cosmetic store near me and I wouldn’t use anything else. Those expensive mascaras give me panda eyes by the end of the day.
Oh I have heard really good things about that one. Loreal volumunious lash primer is my fave, so I need to check that one out! I heard it was another tubing mascara like the thrive, so that is also great for smudging. :)
Who needs mascara with eyelashes like hers ❤️❤️❤️?
I think that Thrive Mascara is absolutely hands down the best mascara I have ever used and I have tried a ton. I have extremely sensitive eyes and this one never bothers them. I actually think it comes off pretty easily. I also think from the video the Thrive side actually looks blacker and definitely more curled on you.

Thanks Azra! I take magnesium every day...who knows what caused this one. It didn't last too much longer after this video luckily. :)
Tara Tooman me too or if I’m overly stressed
I take vit B 12 for eye twitching.
Wow! I am shocked at how popular this mascara is! I ordered a tube, tried it twice and returned it. I have fine short lashes and I found it clumped with no separation and the more I tried to work through it the worse it got and ended up on my eyelids. It’s the only mascara I have ever returned.

Mandy, your bare lashes are twice as long as mine with mascara..but..for me, Thrive mascara is fantastic for me..it doesn’t smudge even in the Texas sun....
The absolute best mascara I have found and is CONSISTENT...L’Oréal Telescopic mascara in blackest black! Best ever and straight from the drug store!!!
I was in love with the Telescopic mascara until recently they changed the formula seems like, and it now smudges on me. Now I’m on the search for a new one unfortunately.
I just received my new Thrive mascara. I really hope it works just like this ad says. I’ve never had a lot of lashes but since I’m taking chemo, I hardly have any lashes left. I really hope it works. Thanks
You sold me on BOTH mascaras :)
Maybe your two coats of primer is making it difficult to remove the Thrive, because mine just comes off with warm water. I don't use a primer underneath.
I've had trouble getting the thrive mascara off until I used witch hazel wipes, it comes right off
Honestly your eyelashes are so amazing any drugstore, dollar store, high end mascara would look amazing
I think the Thrive side looks better. It looks even better with the primer; makes your lashes look longer. I have been using the Thrive mascara for about two weeks now and am really impressed. It may be my new favorite mascara. I have short lashes and it does a great job. As for removal, I use organic coconut oil (Now Foods) and removal is a breeze.
I'm or I am not *am.
i had the same thing happen. I lost a chunk of lashes on one eye and they take forever to grow back!
I read this on Thrive’s website: “If you like to apply more than one coat, we recommend applying the second coat immediately after while the formula is still wet. Doing this will ensure that you don’t experience any clumping or flaking and your mascara wand will be able to effortlessly comb through your lashes to create definition. If your mascara has started to dry before applying a second coat, this step becomes a bit more difficult.”
Maybe why it’s clumping some with 2nd coat? Hope your eye has stopped twitching!🙂
I have been using thrive for about a month, and love it because it doesn't smudge off. Thanks for
the video :)
Thrive is my holy grail! I purchase 2 at a time every few months to save on shipping. Hands down the best ever! (IMHO)❤️
I actually love the Thrive and love how it comes off.
Call me contrary but I was ready to buy the Thrive until I saw you in the Bare Minerals. I think the Bare Minerals looks much more natural, not as spikey and 'spider-leggy' and chunky as the Thrive; and I just think it looks prettier. So I'm buying the Bare Minerals, lol. Thank you so much. :)

One of my friends started getting eye twitches after using a lash growth serum and it went away when she stopped using it. :)
Just posted about this myself since that's exactly what happened to me.
I have used two tubes of Thrive mascara, and it works well for me. I don't get the length you do, but you already have great, long lashes. I just use warm water, and my mascara comes off with no problem.
They both look very good on your lashes...not much noticeable difference. Only drawback would be the 5.00 difference in price and the way that it washes off. My go to has been Tarte lights, camera, lashes but maybe time to try your Lashtopia. Great video Mandy
Thanks so much!!! I used to love the Tarte one...I used it a long time ago and it is a good one for sure!
Love, love, love Tart mascara
One thing that really helps with the Thrive mascara is to not wait between coats. Go in immediately and give the lashes their second coat. 💕
I have been using it for months and I love it! I really havent noticed fibers in the formula nor has it improved my lash condition. Lashes are the same length without mascara as always.

Coconut oil really helps to get off the Thrive mascara. I actually use make up remover or cleanser from hello Bello
I can't use coconut oil on my eyes unfortunately. It leaves a film that ends up irritating.
I’m ordering this mascara right now! I love how it holds the curl and dries fast because every mascara just melts down and makes my eyelashes straight
Your left eye is noticeably longer, thicker and opens your eye much more than your right after both products are applied. I just got mine and I have extremely short lashes and I found it pretty darn good. Thanks for the video!

Just for my friend I will try Thrive to give it a fair shot. Glad you made this video because you have introduced me to Bare Minerals. I will also check that one out. Thank you.
OMG, I'm loving your eye makeup!. Do you have a tutorial with this look?
Mandy, the eye twitching is most likely due to stress and lack of sleep. I didn’t notice it in the video but have the same problem once in a while and that’s what my doctors have said. I still don’t have a favorite mascara and I’m bummed because my lumi lash lift got cancelled today due to the 14 inches of snow we got in NC! Love you❤️!
Lydia Kilby Eye twitching is also a symptom of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium strengthens nerve communication with the brain. Works for leg cramps that occur at night as well.
Palladio 747 - that’s so true, thanks for reminding me of that. I take magnesium whenever I have cramps - it mostly happens in my feet and abdomen. What’s interesting is that I’ve never linked the eye twitching to the cramps! I need to pay attention to see if they occur at the same time- I’m almost certain that they do.
Lydia Kilby -For me eye twitching is strongly triggered by inadequate sleep and stress, especially when they occur together over several days. I do mind my magnesium carefully.
Lydia Kilby 14 inches! Wow! Which part of NC are you in? Are you snowed in? Schools canceled?
Oh man....what a snow storm!! I hope you stayed safe!! I think it is lack of sleep for sure. I am making myself go to bed earlier and so far no more twitching. :) xoxo
I agree that the two coats of Thrive looks chunkier and the Bare Minerals looks much more natural. I only like the Thrive when it’s used as one coat. I saw the same thing with other UA-cam videos for this mascara.
I have all the lash primers you use based on your previous video on how you do your lashes. And I also have the thrive and bare minerals mascaras. Thrive is hands down the winner for me. BUT - it’s biggest flaw is that it does get clumpy. Love this video!!
Yes...it can be a bit harder to work with especially on the second coat. So glad you like it now!
Thrive is hands down THE. BEST. MASCARA. EVERRRRR! It’s also soooo easy to remove. Just use warm water and swipe with your fingers a few times and BAM.. no smudging and it’s all off. I can’t live without thrive mascara!
Thrive is amazing...they now carry brown/black and it is perfect. The waterproof eyeliner is great with this mascara. I have blonde long lashes and this mascara totally extends them to the light, ❤😷
Thank you for your review. I have used both mascaras and like both. I don't have any trouble taking off the thrive. I take mine off in the shower with just warm water and gently push downward on my lashes with eyes closed....comes right off! I also just find 1 coat of both mascara's is great for me...you have beautiful lashes!!
Interesting. Thrive is my holy grail mascara and I use the Jane Iredale primer with it. It comes off with my first cleanse day eraser oil and warm water for me without any difficulty. I wonder if it is your second primer making it difficult to remove. I have never tried the Bare Minerals so can't compare there. Enjoyed the video!!
Maybe it just comes off better with water. @@MandyDavisMUA
Thank so much for the review. I'm going to try the thrive as well as bare minerals, since I use that for makeup already. As for the twitch, take magnesium :)
I love the thrive mascara!!! Been using it for at least a year and a half… 3 tubes so far and about to order some more. They do sometimes have it for buy one get one free…so that’s what I did last go around.
Ps you have amazing eyelashes!!! Both mascaras looked great on you!!
Thanks for doing this review!!
Thanks so much!
I can’t wait to try the thrive ✨ your lashes are pretty to begin with tho . Yes the Thrive looked longer the Bare minerals look thicker. Thank you for this review beautiful . I need a smaller brush my lashes are naturals curly and I need that small brush to get in there really good.
Oh I think you will love the size of the brush!! xoxo
🌸💕🌸💕🌸
I had a bald spot on my lashes and after using Thrive I no longer do. It's the only thing I will use now.
Me too! Sold. Will try some today👍
Tubing mascaras must not be allowed to dry between coats and thrive is the bomb. Love everything about it. Costly yes....still amazing and never ever flakes. Thanks thrive for tip taking off....
I came for the thrive review. Thanks. I’d love to know what brow product and color you use. I can not find the right shade.
Primers “uncurl” my eyelashes, as does too much mascara. So far, I am loving the Thrive mascara. Easy removal, too! Thrive is the first mascara that doesn’t irritate my eyes. That alone is priceless.
Glad you love it!
I do one coat of the Thrive on both sides of the lashes, then use a L'Oreal or Tarte to make them a tad bit more voluminous. Makes your lashes look amazing! Something to think about. And I love the Thirve! I will purchase again.
OMG! I cracked up when I saw you separating your lashes with a barrette because that's what I used to use way back in the '60's to separate mine. For the past 20 or 30 years I have used a straight pin because it is much easier to get between the lashes (but don't poke your eye out!) I didn't care for the Thrive and gave it to my daughter. However I know several people who only use it on their bottom lashes because it doesn't smudge under the eyes. I have been looking for an HG mascara for a long time and feel I have tried most of them out there. I have not, however, tried the Bare Minerals and will go to Ulta tomorrow and get some of it. I used to love the Illegal Lengths by Maybelline (as did a lot of other people) and then they changed the formula of it and it stunk after that. I have never found a mascara I liked as well as the old formula of that.
LOL!! I have used a straight pin too! Ha! I can't wait to hear what you think of the Bare Minerals mascara. I hope you love it!
I got thrive yesterday and it just reminded me why I never buy mascara with plastic brussel. It hurts when applying it close to my roots and it's too wet for me and created spider lashes on me. And when I tried to separate it with a lash comb the tubes were coming off and it was dry.
I'll probably keep it another week or two to see of I can find a better way to apply it or if it drys out some but so far I hate it and will probably be going back
Thrive mascara is bomb! My eyelashes reach the heavens when I use it. I love it!
Your lashes are so long and full! Beautiful 😍 I thought you had mascara on before even using any! Looks good with and without 😍😍
Thank you so much!!
Thrive Mascara is my Favorite by Far! I have used it for about 8 months now! Thank You for your opinion and review!
Tonya LaVigne Have you noticed lash grow?
You are so welcome! So glad you love it too!
No I have not
Thanks Mandy, but, I agree with you regarding the Bare Minerals mascara looking more natural. Thanks for taking the time out to share your review with us. Best of luck!!
Hi Mandy
I will be trying Thrive products. I’m also interested in knowing the color and company of your lipstick and lipliner.
Hi Regina! It is actually just a gloss. It's from Beautycounter and it's a holiday launch that they don't sell anymore. Bare Shimmer is my fave from them though!
Just bought the bare minerals lashtopia, haven’t tried it yet but looking forward to it. Using lash paradise and I really don’t like it, it gets all over my eyes...😜
I didn't mind the Lash Paradise except that it dried out in less than two weeks. :( I think you will LOVE Bare Minerals.
Jennifer Maher I tried the lash paradise and didn’t like it. Too clumpy and messy.
I finally remembered to buy the Lashtopia Mascara and WOW! This is a great mascara. Big beautiful lashes and no flaking or smudging. I don't know why this never got on my radar to try. Maybe because I don't really care for the other Bare minerals mascara. But this mascara is a winner for me.
Yay!! I am so glad you love it too! I still find myself reaching for that the most.
You probably already figured out your cause by now, but my eye had been twitching for a year before I finally mentioned it to my doctor. He had me start taking a calcium supplement and it stopped within a week. Also I liked the Thrive on you!
Thank you!!
You could tell with the first coat that thrive gave fuller, longer lashes.
Can't stop staring at the Thrive side! 😍 I'm currently using the By Terry but i will try the Thrive when i run out. Great comparison Mandy.
Thanks Lynn. Can't wait to hear what you think of the Thrive once you try it out!
I like the Thrive on you but your lashes are already gorgeous, I am envious.
Both of the mascaras looked very pretty on you. Personally I use the Thrive, mainly because it’s the only one I’ve found (other than Red Apple Cosmetics ) that doesn’t irritate my very sensitive eyes. It lengthens my lashes the best, although it does take me a minute to remove. I’m always on the hunt for less expensive vegan mascaras that lengthen & don’t clump or flake, but so far Thrive works the best for me. Loved your comparison. Also, fluttering can be caused from anxiety, low electrolytes or not enough sleep. My daughter & I get it often and even on other areas such as the face, thigh, fingers, etc. It’s so annoying; hope yours goes away soon Mandy 😘
So glad you love it too Susan!! I think my twitch must have been from lack of sleep. There was a stretch there that I was lucky to get 6 hours a night. I am making myself go to bed earlier lately and it seems to have stopped. Thanks!!
Mandy Davis MUA Good to hear :)
Two different primers, I don't even use one and I don't use an eyelash curler either. *OMG* I'm lazy.
My fave mascara is Telescopic-Carbon Black. 😉 Ithink I need to try out this *Thrive*
YEP!!!SHE'S GOT AWSOME LASHES...I'M KINDA WANTING TO USE FALSE LASHES BUT I CAN'T SEE WELL ENOUGH TO TRY THEM ON...
Comes in brown now!!! Warm water works for me. I just let the warm wash rag sit on my eyes for a few seconds. ..then wipe. Then I use my hands to splash my face.
I love wearing lash primers. The L’Oréal one is great, so is a Milani one I have in a purple tube….but my favorite is the Urban Decay Perversion primer.
Would love to see more Jane Iredale reviews, I see the line in Blue Mercury all the time, but don’t know anything about it….
Hi there! I have many videos on my channel for jane iredale. Hope they are helpful!
I only use thrive mascara I love that it melts off in the shower. Does bare minerals mascara do the same thing? I hate when mascara sticks to my skin ugh! I don't want to have to use make up remover. Thanks!
Hi there! I don't wash my face in the shower so I can't say for sure! So sorry.
Hi Mandy, I have tried Thrive mascara and loved the way it looked. I am currently using Hourglass Caution mascara and that is also a top contender for me.
I couldn't get the Hourglass to work for me for some reason. :(
Good Lord girl! Where did you get those lashes? They are fabulous. You are one lucky lady.
LOL...I use a lash serum which helps!
You know that you can use your brush from you favorite mascara and use in the place of the thrive or any others one.
Thank you for the review I can feel your pain about the bald spot. I have had one for a few months, and although it is growing back, it sure is slow! Guess old age! This was a result from waterproof mascara!
Yes! It happens a couple times a year for me and the waiting lasts FOREVER!
Hi mandy.. eye twitch.. i had it for months... try running warm water in the shower under it & then use a face wash to circular motion rub your eyelid & wash.. (my eye doc told me its ur glands that can be blocked up) use hot compressions too.. that worked for me & has been my savior!! Hope this helps!
Oh I haven't heard that before. I will try it the next time it happens...thanks!
hmm...I'd be tempted to try the thrive mascara, but I am in LOVE with Bare Minerals Lashtopia. I even like the Lash Domination on my lower lashes or if I go to crazy with the Lashtopia and make it too think on the ends, I use the Lash Domination to dial it back a little. Great video! I've missed you. I've not been in youtube much lately. Lots going on in my world. Hope you and yours are well and enjoying to a blessed Christmas season.
Nice to see you Mandy!! My eyes twitch, stress & lack of sleep. Mary, Glitzy Fritzy, reviewed some thrive products & rated the mascara high. I thought your thrive eyelashes looked a smidge better. Have you ever tried the Mirenesse mascara, I'm researching this product. Have a blessed week.
Thanks Sherie! I think mine must have been from lack of sleep. I haven't tried that mascara. I need to look into it! Thanks!
The removal was an issue for me as well, until I figured out the method. I use Olay facial cleaning cloths, which foam up nicely for slip. Also, using a downward motion when washing makes the tubes slide right off. Now it's really quick and easy to remove. No pulling, no rubbing.
The thrive looked better with just the one coat. It was long and they were separated and nice. The second coat made them a little clumpy and they didn't even need the second coat anyway. Most do, but this one was better with one coat.
I actually found it to be flaky myself. I don’t pick my lashes. However, sometimes I will touch my lashes and when I touched it it literally came off and then when I cleaned it off my lashes, it came off almost in tubes. So it felt not apart of my lashes. It felt like it was just sitting on top of my lashes???Maybe I got an old one? I’ll give it another try bc it has been a while since I’ve used it.
@ 2:40… are they your lashes without anything on them?! How did you get them to be so full and beautiful 😍
Yes, they are. I use a lash serum and have for years. :) Revitalash.
I came to your channel to get information about the mascara but I love the fact that you mention psalms in your videos as well as taking the time to show us how the product works, You have a new subscriber 😃 God bless you 🌻 I will get my mascara
Thank you so much Nelsy....welcome to my channel!
I love Thrive Cosmetics (their lip liner and lip gloss are amazing!). I'm a big fan of their mascara, and do find that I need to hold a warm, wet washcloth against my lashes for 30 seconds to remove the mascara easily and without risk of damaging my lashes. The other mascara I'm loving is Hourglass Caution Extreme - it's really fabulous!
Any tips on mascara that comes off on my eyelids during the day!!!!😩
I have eczema skin but my skin produces lots of oil and on m eyelids,So when im putting on mascara during the day because off my lashes touching my eyelids and the oilyness the mascara is coming off on my lids and makes my lids all black.And i did try every beauty hack there is ,i even tried different primers,concealers,setting sprays,powder hacks,waterproof mascaras ,you name it.....!and nothing is working😔It feels like when im doing my makeup I don’t want to put mascara anymore, and thats gonna look “stupid “.So instead I don’t makeup anymore!🙁And i really want to beacause i like it ,makes me feel confident.So if you can help🙏🏻please!
What eyeshadow and lipstick are you wearing??? It's freaking beautiful 😍
Thanks Ruth! I have everything I am wearing listed in the description box. 😀
Thank you very much 😊 I'm afraid to use eyeshadow lol but it's so pretty I gotta try!! 😳😁
Silly question but how do you know when you have used all your mascara? How long should a “tube” of mascara last? I have always bought cheap stuff so just get a fresh one each month.
Stella Torgy Good question and not silly at all. I’ve had the same question. I tend to know I need a new one once it’s starts to dry out or I feel I’m not getting as much product on lashes anymore.
Thrive lasts me a year but I don't use it every day, maybe 3-4 times a week.
I have been wanting to try this mascara for a long time. But I have to read ingredient lists as I have so many allergies, and alcohol denatured is #4. I just use CG Lashblast Volume. It works well without bothering my eyes and comes off easily. Also wanted to let you know that PremierLook does sell samples of the Osmosis foundation (thanks for that heads up), and I’m looking forward to trying it. Great review!
Oh that stinks! I don't understand why they need that ingredient in mascaras. :(
Have you tried or reviewed the bad gal mascara ?? It’s my favorite, just wondering your thoughts
I haven't ever tried that one. I will have to check it out!
For the EYe twitching... warm up water with chamomile tea 🍵 let it cool off a little and with a cloth or cotton ball clean your eye 👁. (The tea should be warm not hot) hope this helps. Natural remedy always work.
Thanks!
Obviously, because Thrive only needs one coat, it's more cost effective. That's a winner for me 😊😊😊. I'm using, and liking, Loreal Paradise mascara.
You're probably in need of a good sleep (twitchy eye thing) and some relaxing days. Thanks for sharing this with us xxx 🎄🎄🎄 xxx
Love Bare inerals but I think the Thrive looked better almost like you had lash extensions or false eye lashes. Both beautiful & I think I’m going to try theThrive. Love your videos you are so natural & I feel like you are talking to your girlfriends 😍
Awww...thank you Judi. That means so much!
I love how it just melts off your lashes when I clean them. It works very good
I wonder how much better both would have worked if you hadn’t held the wands out drying while talking? You should dip and apply promptly so it doesn’t dry and therefore clump on the wand and then be clumpy on your lashes. Did you wipe the wands before applying and just edit that out?
I don't think that was it since I used both many many times before and after this video without talking in between, fresh out of the tube and the results are the same.
While I love the Thrive color stick, the mascara is the worst I have ever used. It immediately clumps your eyelashes together and it is too thick. When you remove it at night it literally comes off in pieces.
Hooray, I just looked it up and Bare Minerals is cruelty free. Looks like I'm trying a new mascara!
The absolute BEST mascara I have ever worn, AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, is L’Oreal Voluminous Super Star mascara. It has a primer that volumizes and the mascara that lengthens. I pay $3.99 for this at a discount cosmetic store near me and I wouldn’t use anything else. Those expensive mascaras give me panda eyes by the end of the day.
Oh I have heard really good things about that one. Loreal volumunious lash primer is my fave, so I need to check that one out! I heard it was another tubing mascara like the thrive, so that is also great for smudging. :)
Dehydration or lack of sleep can cause eye twitching as well
So true, mine happens when I’m really stressed though
Agree, also stress and caffeine. 🥴
Love your makeup! Thanks for posting what you use! Love it! How about the 3D vs thrive fiber mascara?
What i love from this mascara is that is very black, i like it a lot but i also have eyelash lift so my eyelashes looks perfect .
