Gifted: having great special talent or ability
Well that about sums up Tarte’s Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara. The first and only “smart” mascara that claims to intuitively find and treat your unique lash concerns, delivering the benefits you need and volume you desire. The Amazonian clay instinctively lengthens, conditions, repairs and replenishes dry and brittle lashes to promote healthy, more voluminous lashes while preventing lash loss… and it works for me. It takes my itty bitty scrawny lashes and adds volume and a little length leaving me with fuller yet still natural looking lashes.
The mascara is made with natural Rice Wax to help lengthen lashes, does not contain parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, triclosan or gluten and is cruelty free. The brush is the perfect size to evenly coat every lash, even the ones on the bottom, without clumping or making a mess.
The wooden tube with the tribal print is super cute and unique. Now let’s see it in action, here are my lined eyes with bare lashes…
Now we’ll add one coat of Gifted…
and now a second coat…
My lashes are left visibly fuller and more defined. Although the mascara doesn’t lengthen as much the wax loosens my natural curl pattern making my lashes appear appear slightly longer. It does not clump, flake or smudge nor irritate my eyes. My lashes are not hard or crunchy nor falling out during the course of the day. Most importantly my lashes pop and that’s really all I want in an every day wear mascara. I’m impressed.
