Summary

Thrive Causemetics was founded in 2013 by Karissa Bodnar after a very close friend of hers passed away from cancer. Karissa has worked as a makeup artist for over a decade and formulated and designed many beauty products. The ingredient lists include a combination of natural ingredients including Orchid Stem Cell Complex, castor oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, and shea butter. For every product that is purchased, Thrive Causemetics donates one to a woman going through cancer treatment. This company believes in “Beauty with a Purpose” and that women who are going through cancer treatment shouldn’t just survive, they should thrive.

The Good

  • Unique Mission and Products 
  • Bestselling Thrive Mascara
  • Makeup Tutorials
  • Free Shipping on Orders Over $35

Unique Mission and Products 

Thrive Causemetics has a very clear purpose: To make sure all women feel confident and beautiful, no matter their circumstances. This company was founded to help women who have lost their hair, do just that. With every purchase that is made, one beauty product will be donated to a woman who is undergoing cancer treatment. Most faux eyelashes or lash extensions are made to adhere to eyelashes that are already there, but Thrive Causemetics lashes are specially designed for women who no longer have any. Bodnar has developed a variety of other beauty products that include: Infinity Waterproof Eyeliner, Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara, lash adhesive, eye shadow, eye brightener, liquid lipstick, lip gloss, and brow liner to make sure women have everything they need to feel beautiful. While Thrive Causemetics products are designed to help women who have lost their hair, the products work for any woman, lashes, and eyebrows or not. Thrive Causemetics uses only cruelty-free, vegan ingredients. 

Bestselling Thrive Mascara 

Thrive's bestselling mascara is a lash growing mascara that promotes long-term growth and moisture for your natural lashes. It is a tubing mascara, which means the mascara covers each individual lash with a tube-like layer. This product is a more affordable option than eyelash extensions, works well for those with watery or sensitive eyes and is more effective in creating a long lashes look than traditional volumizing mascara alone. The formula can be removed easily with makeup remover and a washcloth or cotton ball. Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara is not advertised as a waterproof mascara but the tube-like fiber layer is water resistant. 

Makeup Tutorials 

There are tutorials offered to help women get the look they want. They are step-by-step instructions for different looks and practices directly from a Thrive makeup artist. These tutorials are helpful to those women who are unsure about how to achieve the look they are hoping for. Thrive Causemetics also offers videos on how to care for the false lashes that are purchased. From fine lines, skin tone, and lip colors Thrive can help you create the look you want. 

Free Shipping on Orders Over $35

Free shipping is offered on all orders over $35. Because their products are high end, most of the orders made qualify for free shipping. Plus the more customers spend, the more products are donated to help those women in need. Thrive also offers free shipping on any returned product, including a postage-paid U.S. return label in each order. They are also willing to fully refund makeup the customer is unsatisfied with, within reasonable circumstances.

The Bad

  • Limited Product Offering

Limited Product Offering

Thrive Causemetics has a limited product range. They provide customers with eyelashes, eyeliner, brow liner, lash adhesive, Glossy Lip Mark, Lip Mate, Bronzer, Blush, Triple Threat Color Stick, Brilliant Eye Brightener, and eyeshadow. But if customers are looking for any other makeup products such as foundation, perfumes, or other skincare products, they won't find it here. Thrive was founded to provide women with the things they have lost (eyelashes and eyebrows), but foundation and skincare may be provided in the future.

The Bottom Line

This company may not have as much variety in terms of product selection, but its bestselling mascara promoting lash growth sets it apart, and Thrive has a purpose and cause. Thrive Causemetics offers great products while also donating to women in need because every woman deserves to feel beautiful in their own skin.

These are the best makeup products I have ever used. The eyeshadow pens are amazing! The mascara is a miracle! It looks amazing without applying hardly any at all! It washes off so easy that I can use it on my eyelash extensions and it doesn’t ruin them at all or get gunked up at all! It is such high quality and it last forever without drying out and getting dry or flaky! It is such a great brand. Also the customer service is amazing! I had an issue with one of my products and told them about it and they went out of their way to send me a new one right away! So nice! Wonderful company and brand all together!!! Totally worth the money!!!!

My husband was arrested last year which made me a domestic violence victim/survivor. I was assigned a social worker who suggested I take a one hour x 3 Money 101 course via Zoom to receive $50. I took the offer, because why not, enjoyed the breezy 3 hours and received a $50 Amazon gift card immediately after the end of my last course session. Now here's where it gets good... just a few short days later I opened my front door to find a package with my name on it. I didn't remember ordering anything so this was kind of exciting!... When I opened it - and this must be mentioned... I am a BIG name brand ONLY kinda gal! I'd invest in a quality self care over food if it came down to it for real - so in the package I found a VARIETY of Thrive cosmetics!!! Ladies... THIS MEANT SO MUCH TO ME because it was a surprise that felt live a bear hug and like so much love... the love I needed. I was alone and feeling undesirable, isolated, sad... you know how that self-loathing spiral goes. So this just meant so smooch to me because they didn't have to, but they cared for me personally. Please note- the reason why I actually spent the time to find this platform and give a thoughtful review is because the products work BEAUTIFULLY. I got two lip stains (I recommend color "Pamela"!) and girl, no! color! transfer!!! they last allllll day even after gym / eating. I take Accutane so trust me, these keep my lips hydrated longer than any chapstick out there ... its literally NARS POWERMATTE LIP PIGMENT in a different bottle (sorry not sorry- legit dupe) I got an eyebrow pencil (legit Anastasia dupe!) + a semi-permanent eyeliner dual ended with perfect smudger + a gorgeous light nude shimmery, creamy eye / highlight pointed crayon that glides, stays put and is the perfect shade no matter what color scheme I have going on. I am so! so grateful! I try and play it off like I'm fine but truth is when times are really rough, a gift like this feels life saving. I forgot to mention I have near daily suicidal ideation and the thought of this gift has brought me up so many times I'm just smiling thinking about it. BUY THRIVE PRODUCTS!!! I've seen packages that mention something like 'if you buy one we give one to someone in need' and I always wondered who verifies that / what that looks like. WELL, its true! LOVE YOUR PURCHASES because to buy one for yourself means your ALSO buying a generous gift for a woman in utter need. & we are sooo, so grateful!!! <3

I didn’t believe these ads I’ve been seeing on this mascara so I ordered and oh em gee! I received the mascara and brow pencil today (came in two business day btdubs) with my free lip topper and bag. I took half of my makeup off and applied it!! I was shooketh. -went on like a champ. One coat of thrive mascara would have been suffice to match up to my other eye that I had to apply 3 coats of one lengthening and two coats of my dior volume to. I put a second coat of thrive and it was even better -my eyes didn’t water and there was zero black thingys gathering in my tear duct and my other eye had. -my husband played a sweet song and I started to cry, no mascara was running down my face! It’s not waterproof but it didn’t budge. AMAZING! -other mascaras wear off throughout the day but this one did not. It looked just as I had just applied it and my lashes were bold and long -took a shower tonight and I didn’t have to scrub or constantly wash over my eyes to get it off. It like slid off my lashes. No breakage! -the eyebrow pencil was a perfect color and stayed through a hefty Walmart trip in GA heat. I have eyebrows so I can’t vouched for it as if I didn’t have them. I used it to shape them. - the lip topper wasn’t sticky and wasn’t too glittery or shiny. It was a perfect accent. All in all. I’ve definitely found my new mascara and brow pencil!

First of all, for those saying this stuff is made in China? I bought the Liquid Lash Extension Mascara, WHICH IS MADE IN THE USA, and the Eye Brightener, WHICH IS MADE IN GERMANY. So at least those two products are NOT MADE IN CHINA. Second, the mascara is the best mascara I have ever used. I have tried the cheap stuff (Cover Girl, Maybelline) and the good stuff (Lancome, MAC, Bare Minerals) and this is the best mascara I've ever used. No clumping, no flaking, and it made my lashes much longer. Came off easily w my normal makeup remover. The Eye Brightener is great too. It brightens quite a bit, and is nice to use as a pale eye shadow when I don't want to do "full" makeup. I am very pleased with both products, and I like what the company does for women.

I have really bad blepharitis - to the point my lashes fall out. Mascaras aggravate it. Haven’t really worn mascara (only on Sundays - and not every Sunday) for the past 2 years. I have nice lashes now, but they are blonde, unruly (go in all directions instead of the nice upward curl), and not visible when you look at me. I ordered the Thrive Liquid Lash Extension Mascara, I have only used it one day - but absolutely love it!! The brush is amazing. The texture of the mascara was perfect, for me. I just needed one coat and my lashes looked terrific!! I received compliments all day on how nice my lashes looked!!

Once Thrive helped me to get the right product for my needs, I was hooked! Their mascara is magic on my fine lashes--truly magic the way it opens up my eyes, and so much easier to remove than many of the other mascaras I tried. When I first decided to switch from chemically based unhealthy products to healthy, non-toxic make-up products, I was leery about their ability to work. Thrive mascara works sooo much better than the toxic mascaras! The three in one color stick is brilliant! Dewey on my cheeks and lips--so clever! Love the moisture and the blending brush on the bottom end. Finally, their Infinity Waterproof eyeliner goes on under my eyes so very smoothly, and it's easy to soften with the soft end tip. Best of all, it lasts all day which is miraculous for me! Thrive Causemetics is an incredible company with quality products and customer service.

I absolutely love the mascara and eyeliner. I am 59 years old and my eyelashes have been thinning over the years and are very light. From day one I could tell I would love this product -the mascara works great and my lashes look blasted, there is no flaking whatsoever and it lasts all day. It comes off so easy and is the best product I have found so far. It is definitely worth the price and I will definitely be purchasing it again. I don't understand the negative reviews - their customer service was excellent and the product was delivered within two days. Please try for yourself - it works great!!!

I am 50+ years old and enjoy looking my best - which is ageless. I have spent a lot (lot) of money over the years on make-up hopes. . .This is without a doubt the best make-up I have purchased in my life. So far, I have purchased the amazing mascara, the eyebrow liner, and the eyeliner. These products are bar none in my experience! I have passed on the wonderful products to my 2 twenty-something daughters too. This is the only product which has met the expectations of the cosmetic industry! It not only provides hope- it delivers!! Stop throwing your money away on products that promise in their advertising. Buy something that actually "delivers" the results - plus a women in need get a product! Wow - great company, great products, changing the world! Thank you very much! Thanks for making me and the world a more beautiful place!

I can't believe I have finally found a mascara that is "hot flash proof" and 'sweat proof," and does not have funky chemicals. I didn't think it was possible! I don't ever get raccoon eyes with this mascara. It stays put until I take it off at night and manages to come off quite easily with my normal cleansing milk and gentle rubbing with my washrag. One does have to apply it carefully because once it's on your lashes it stays there and it's difficult to try and separate the lashes after the fact. Totally worth it though! I only buy products from companies who don't test on animals. I feel really fortunate to have found this company!

I honestly don’t understand how anyone could give these products, or this company, a poor review. Each time I use a Thrive product I’m in love with them all over again! The quality and staying power of the eyeliner, mascara and lipsticks/liner are unsurpassed by any of my previous Lancôme, Clarins, Chanel, Bobby Brown...all now in the trash. At 69 years old I am more interested in makeup that hydrates and doesn’t flake, while looking natural. But there are times when I want a little extra glamour too. Before Thrive I used to have burning, itchy eyes before my evening was over. No more of that for me! This stuff is so compatible with my sensitive eyes that I have to remember to remove it before bed. And yes, removing it does take a few extra minutes because it STAYS ON ALL DAY! Last word - Regarding their customer service. I submitted an order and afterward realized I didn’t check the option for a free trial of their color stick. I emailed them and, though it was too late to add to my order, they sent a full size color stick separately at absolutely no cost including shipping! Seriously, great products, great service and incredible mission to help women in need. What’s not too love?

I am surprised at all the negative reviews. I have been using the mascara and eyebrow pencil. I LOVE the mascara...the best I have used so far. It goes on easy and you can build the length and/or thickness of your lashes. It removes easily when I wash may face with my regular face wash. I do not have to scrub it off. It removes much like a tubing mascara. It stays put all day without smudging or creating raccoon eyes. I like the eyebrow pencil too. Stays all day. I can't review the customer service because I have not had any issues to contact them. I always receive my order within a few days and now have changed to auto-ship for the mascara.

I'm a 61 yr old who's purchased, the mascara, eyeliner pencils, lipgloss, highlight pencils and the blush. I LOVE the mascara. It's weird that several others found it clumpy.. like most mascaras, you need to wipe the brush in the tube when you first get it, otherwise, there is too much on the brush.. The reason I love it is that it doesn't smear, stays on all day and washes off with water. I've given the mascara as gifts to two girlfriends and one to my 26 yr old daughter, all three really like it. The highlighter pens, are nice, but a bit light once they are on. The blush is also becoming a favorite, just the right amount of color.. The pencils are super easy to apply and also easy to remove. I just got the lip gloss last week and haven't used it enough to review. Basically I bought one product and liked it so much that I tried another..... then another.... so far, I haven't been disappointed..

I'm a skeptical 59 year old woman who has used very expensive to drug store products, often with drug store products working as well or better than expensive. I will start with the mascara. I've never had full or long lashes and they slant downward. First try, wasn't a fan. Was clumpy. Thought so many 5*reviews couldn't all be relatives(lol) so I tried the next day. HUGE FAN NOW. Not sure why first time didn't work well but one light coat and I have long and thicker lashes, they curl with curler now and I think more of my natural lashes are growing. Next I tried 3 shades of lipstick. I'm usually very subtle but wanted a bit of oomph. It took a bit to get used to seeing so much color(true to shades on internet) but I really like them. Color lasts several hours even eating and drinking, not exactly as applied but still present. When it wears off there is a lighter" stain" on the lips so it's not pale. I will be ordering the gloss to use as topper for the times I don't want Matt finish. Not sure if it dries my lips, I use an Image lip product at night which keeps them smooth. Then I tried the Triple Threat. I've never been able to use cream blush. Big pores, looked clownish, etc, so I was nervous to try. I think I love it. More color for my fair skin, lasts, even laying face down for an hour getting a massage(Wore it to test it that way). Then I tried the Eye Brightener and jury is out on that one. I might think it's ok, husband says it looks cakey. I've bought the eyeliner but have not tried yet. So there you have it, 59 year old honest review as the products work for me.

I have finally found the perfect shade of lipstick! I have the Headliner Lipstick in Emii and can't believe how many compliments I have received. I am a Registered Nurse working 12 hour shifts and I don't have time for multiple reapplications. I found the lipstick to go on a little dry, but a swipe of Eos Lip Balm perfor application makes the lipstick glide on effortlessly. I reapply at lunchtime and don't have to give my lips another thought. And so many compliments! The Emii color really compliments my very fair skin and light gray eyes. I am totally sold on this product and the fantastic company!

LD GAUTIER Killeen, TX

Best mascara that I have ever used and I have used LOTS. Does not flake or smear. Easily removed. Lasts all day. Eyeliner...color stays on all day w/o smearing. I wish there were more colors available. Lip mate high shine is terrific. I use it alone for every day and with lipstick for 'dress up' times. It goes on a bit sticky but less than sticky than other lip gloss brands that I have used . It does not last all day but I have a tendency to lick and bite my lips so that is probably a factor. It does stay on for a long time, tho. Instant eye brightener really does brighten my eyes. Very effective and stays on. I plan to try the Headliner lipsticks and Glowing Goddess color sticks next. So far, I am VERY happy with all of my Thrive purchases. The online assistant is great for advice, suggestions and answering questions.

I am very picky! I don't know how anyone could not like their products! The eyeliner stays put!!! I have really struggled with my eyeliner and even my mascara running at times. I tried various products to help. None come close to Thrive eyeliner and mascara! I can't believe the negative reviews!! I put the eyeliner on upper and lower as they instruct and it has never, ever, ever run! It stays put! I am thrillllled! Same with the mascara! It stays put! Yesssss I also have several of the lipstains. I put it on and let it dry. I dont put lip gloss over and that lipstick is, again, going nowhere! Yes, by the 8-10th hour it needs some freshening up but far better than muliti-step lipsense with condtant gloss application! This is the longest stay lipstain I have found. For those reviewers that are not happy they must not be doing something right or maybe just not good with their skin because I have tried a TON and this is by far the best! I just wish they had more make-up!

Thrive is one of my favorite makeup brands! They are coming out with new products all the time, and they are all amazing quality! My favorites are the Brilliant Eye Brightener, the Infinity Waterproof Brow Liner (best brow pencil ever - I switched after using powder for years), and their brand new Liquid Extensions mascara. In my experience, the products do as they promise. I had to return something once only because I accidentally bought the wrong color, and their customer service was great and the return process was painless. It doesn't hurt that your purchase goes to a great cause, too!

I am so surprised to see so many negative reviews on here! I absolutely love Thrive Causemetics! I love their products, delivery speed, customer service and most of all what they stand for as a company with a cause. Their customer service has always been fast and so helpful when I ask about picking the right products and shades for me. Every order I have placed was shipped and delivered very quickly. It makes me happy to buy beautiful makeup for myself while knowing the company is giving to women who want and need safe, comfortable products. I have never had a problem with the eyeliner smudging -I think it has great color and sticking power! I also love their Triple Threat Color stick in the color Joy for a silky smooth, long-wear highlighter. Both colors of the Brilliant Eye Brightener stick are so stunning; I wear it every day to make my eyes and brows look awake and bright. Lastly... their false lashes are the most comfortable I have ever worn and their glue is so easy and effective. The flexible soft band is easy to apply and never stabs the corners of my eyes. The lashes themselves look so beautiful. The styles range so I can wear them for any occasion day to night and I DO. I can't speak highly enough of this company. Their makeup is comfortable and effective, plus they are constantly coming out with new products. I always recommend this company to my friends and family and will continue to do so! Thanks Thrive!

I can't say enough how much I like the Thrive products I have ordered AND the customer service to boot! Currently, I am using their eyebrow pencil, eye liner, highlighter, mascara, blushes and lip glosses. LOVE everything! Stays on all day, glosses are moist and long-lasting, eye make-up lasts. Totally impressed with their customer service when asking about their products online. Very helpful and friendly. I especially love their mission statement, "beauty with a purpose". Every product purchased, a like product is donated to a woman going through cancer treatment. Plus their products are named after inspiring women. Top notch! I highly recommend Thrive Causemetics to everyone.

I've been using Thrive for years now and I won't go back to traditional mascara. I can't afford regular eyelash extensions, which end up falling out and need to be replaced regularly, and all other mascara (even the designer brand stuff) clumps, flakes, and doesn't elongate my lashes like Thrive. I also really love their eye brightening sticks. Perfect for a natural, daily look go-to.

What a great company! I had purchased the brow gel and the eyeliner pencil, which I love both of them by the ease of use and the lasting color. I had missed the 10% off for my first purchase by something around 65 cents and mentioned that in my first review, that I was disappointed. The next day I had a credit on my account giving me the 10%! It was just there. Not many, if any, companies would do that. I not only highly recommend their products, but their excellent customer service.

At 54, I have bought every mascara on the market. Thrive brown is the best - hands down. The black, not so much + idk why. I have short, sparse lashes and with one coat, I can leave the house happy. No more 2-3 coats and looks natural. In the shower, it comes off easily, but - and this might be why it’s good - it comes off in tiny rubbery flakes. I LOVE this mascara. Eye and face cream moisturizes all day, though took me a minute to figure out the dispensers. The reason for 4 stars is that the primer is just ok, as in it’s silicone. I would like more anti-aging products, maybe a foundation, but the CC creams is good, and I’d really like to do away with foundation. They are adding products, so I’ll be buying from them for the foreseeable future. Serums though? PCA Exlinea to prevent/soften lines. If I could only have one thing, it would be that. Two? That and Thrive mascara.

I started using Thrive Causemetics a couple of months ago and I’m happy with it. I am using the mascara, foundation (CC cream), eyebrow gel, eyeliner, eye brightening stick, and eye shadow. Very happy with everything! The mascara really brings out my eyelashes. I like the free shipping option and the products come quickly. Everything is made without parabens or sulphates, which is extremely important to me. For comparison, I’m also using some Lawless and Tarte products. Thrive Causemetics is my new go-to for makeup.

I can visibly see my long eye lashes in pictures! The mascara comes off with water!!! :) I no longer have to tug and pull on my lashes and use 2 different forms of makeup remover to remove my mascara! Absolutely no fall down and dark circles left under my eyes. Love Thrive Causmetics mascara and eye highlighter!

I've purchased the Liquid Lash Extensions mascara, eye palette #2, and FOUR shades of lipstick. All items were received within 2-3 days. My take: Mascara - No clumps, no flakes, no smudges, no eye irritation and easily removed with my usual "oil free" liquid eye makeup remover. Don't "pump" the wand as it pushes air into the tube & makes it dry out. Also, tap the wand tip on a tissue to remove the glob that may end up on your lashes. Eye Palette #3 - Love it. The medium shade is a purple/grey/brown which sounds odd but it is beautiful & versatile. Lipsticks - Like them a LOT. I have fair skin, very dark eyes, and dark blonde hair. I ordered Aquila (Warm Rose Mauve), Ilene (Pink Taupe), Bizzy (Dusty Rose) and Emii (Plum Mauve). The only one I don't like & will have to return is Ilene as it is too light for me. These are not the creamiest lipsticks nor the most long lasting but I LOVE the other colors. I tend to snack a lot & find the color lasts longer if I line my lips first, blend the liner onto my lip, and finish with the lipstick.

I decided to make a purchase and I love my makeup collection. Amazing cosmetics- CC Cream, Bronzer, loose power, beauty sponge, lip gloss and mascara...etc...they are insanely beautiful. I can’t stress that enough. In addition, the company donates their beauty products to charities, what more can you ask for this amazing and oh so giving company.

This is the best mascara I have ever used. My top eyelashes aren’t as long as my bottom and this mascara lengthens , thickens and curls my top eyelashes. I use to have to cut my bottom eyelashes as they were so long I would have mascara all under my eyes and I love this mascara because it does not smudge at all anywhere . I hope this product is around as long as I am .

I got the mascara in my ipsy glam bag I immediately ordered it! I absolutely positively love it, my all-time favorite I'm about to get put on the monthly deliver option! The people that give it one star, are trying to do it the way that people show you in the video. Do it your own way try different things, I use this mascara the same way I use any of my mascaras I never allow it to dry, I do one coat dip it back in there and do another until I'm satisfied with my look! Received my order with in like nine days.

Whoever the negative reviewers are- shame on them! Faceless cowards with nothing better to do I suppose... I am 60 yrs old and have a sensitive eye area and cannot use anything from a dept store or drug store without getting styes on my eyelids. Up to this point I could only tolerate Aveda products. I tried the lengthening mascara and it performed beautifully. Made my lashes look like I had expensive extensions applied. Terrific product, you will be as delighted as I am, I am sure. I am going to try the lipstick next. Fills in age lines? Bring it on I say! Go Thrive!

So far, the only Thrive causemetics I have used have been the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and the Infinity Waterproof Eyeliner. I love them both! They performed exactly as the company said they would! I do not understand the negative (though albeit few) reviews on these two products. I am planning on purchasing both as a gift. I WILL be ordering other products from this VEGAN and parabens / sulfates free company.

I am very satisfied with the mascara, eyeliner, brow liner, eye brightened and lipstick I have purchased. I plan to get other items. I do not know where the poor reviews are coming from. Incorrect application may be the issue. The eyeliner stays on. The mascara requires a little bit of care when removed...I use a formulation for waterproof mascara and a minute or two more and that is it. The lipstick is very emollient and it stays on. I LOVE this brand. I am a 61 year old make up addict...and I love this stuff...the secret is in the correct application of the product. I am giving 4 stars and not 5 because of the limited product range.

I love the way the mascara makes my eyes look, however, when it is time to remove, the mascara feels like the rubber from tires that you can find on a hot roadway - Not good! In addition, if I don't get all the little pieces at off my eyelash at night, sometimes it can get in my eye and cause irritation, I wish I could post the picture of my eye this morning. Today is the worst it has ever been. Protecting my eyes is more important than them looking good. I will not buy the mascara ever again. The eyeliner is amazing and I will continue to purchase.

Love the mascara - makes my lashes super thick and long. Also love the eyeliner - lasts throughout my work day and doesn't smudge down my eyes. I have the blush stick - color Maggie. Perfect color for cheeks, very soft and super easy to apply. Just ordered the CC cream and hoping it has good coverage and matte finish. I'm also very surprised at the negative comments - its that for real??

I was more than a little doubtful that any mascara could be as good as Thrive liquid extensions claimed to be. No need for any doubt whatsoever! This is the best mascara I have ever used! My lashes look longer and more beautiful than ever. They last better than waterproof mascara because they don’t clump, and they wash off like a dream with warm water.

I started with the mascara and I was hooked! This is the only mascara I can wear that doesn’t give me raccoon eyes... AT ALL! I have purchased the CC cream recently and I am just in love! I throw it on with my fingers and blend it in... a little blush and my mascara and I am out the door! My orders are always right! Arrive quick with a cute large make up bag that I used to store other makeup items!

Too bad there isn't a zero stars. The eyebrow product I received (after a two-month wait) was dried up and completely unusable. I contacted the company within two days of receipt and told them about the issue. They requested a video, which I gladly sent (still within the 10 days), showing the dried up applicator and that it could not possible be used. I requested a refund and was told they had a 10-day window for returns--they are in China! I asked if they expected me to get on a plane and fly the product to them! After multiple attempts to get my money refunded, with the same response about 10 days, I decided I would attempt to warn potential customers not to count on any customer service from these people. It is horrible, and apparently, so are their products. Save your money.

OMG!!! If I could rate 10 stars I would. I am totally AMAZED and shocked with this mascara. I do have good lashes but as I am 58 you need a little more help on things as you age. My lashes are so long and thick with this mascara. It separates my lashes so pretty. It’s CRAZY how it works so perfect. No mascara all over my eyes no smears, no dots at all. I’m AMAZED!! I don’t understand the negative words on this..... I guess I just got lucky🤗

I guess to each his own, I purchase the lash extension mascara, I absolutely love it. It does not clump or flake. I do notice when I wash it off there are some fibers, but I never have issues with them while I’m wearing it throughout the day. It’s one of the first mascaras that doesn’t bleed and leave black marks under My Eye. It’s crazy how different each of these reviews are? I’ve tried their brow pencil and I loved that as well. I want to try the cc cream, but I’m a little concerned after all these negative reviews

Reading through some of these reviews, I was quite shocked. Had I read these first, I never would have purchased from them. As it is, I did purchase the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and the Lip Mate High Shine Topper. I really like the mascara. I have naturally short stubby very blond lashes. While the effect wasn't dramatic like typical extensions would be, it was quite an improvement from other mascaras. It goes on a little thick so you don't need multiple coats. It separates and lengthens nicely. I have not experienced any of the flaking issues or the fibers getting in my eyes some users describe. Nor have I had any difficulty washing it right off with an eye makeup remover or even just plain soap & water. I have had it for about a month now and it works just as well as it did when I used it the first time. If my experience changes, I will update my review, however I am currently quite pleased. The lip gloss is a very natural (if slightly sparkly) warm rose gold color. I generally use it by itself and like the effect, however it can be used over lip liner or lip stain, just haven't tried that yet. The texture and feel of it is a little sticky as most glosses are. Otherwise, I feel like both of the products I have tried were good buys. I have no negative experiences with customer service (have not needed to work with them) and currently I have no issues with the products I have. If they hold up for another month or two, I would definitely purchase from them again. The only reason I chose not to give a 5 star review is because I reserve that ranking for those products that are beyond exceptional and far exceed my expectations. I rarely use 5 star ratings. That being said, this was a good product and I am very happy with my purchase.

The mascara is the best I have ever used (and I am a 54 yr Clinique user). The applicator is wonderful. I think it is unfair of critics to compare Thrive Cosmetic products to companies with larger product lines. The critics should be comparing the available products to equal products of other companies.... not give low rate because of limited products. The quality is superb in my experience. I also have lip liner and love it, too. I will be a repeat customer.

Shipping is fast, and the products are fantastic. I ordered the waterproof eyeliner in slate, the mascara, and the eyelash curler. I have never had eye makeup that would stay put and be so long-lasting. I do not have long luscious lashes and with this mascara, my lashes are long and full. So love these products! I just ordered another eyeliner and the highlighting powder. I also love that for every product I order, one is given to a woman in need!

I purchased the mascara and eyeliner! I love them both. After around a week of using the mascara, my 17yo daughter looked at me and said “wow, I’ve noticed your eyelashes have been looking amazing.” I have very sensitive eyes and tolerate the mascara and eyeliner really well. Being a cancer survivor it took forever for my eyelashes to grow back in and am grateful how this mascara makes them look longer. I will continue to use these products.

I ordered the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and Infinity Waterproof Eyebrow Liner™ - Audrey (Dark Blonde - Medium Brunette). they got here in a few days and I love them. I am actually going to order some m ore products from them. I know they are limited but so what. They have also been very helpful in choosing colors of other things I am looking to order. Best mascara I have ever bought and so far I like the brow pencil. I do not know what the people are complaining about but remember you are never going to make everyone happy.

I purchased the mascara and LOVE IT more then any other I've ever used. Originally a Lancome user so I'm very selective, I found Thrives mascara to out perform any mascara on the market. I suggest you take time to learn how to use it (for the reviewers who rated it low). Once I had a faulty product, I contacted Thrive and it was replaced within a couple days free of charge.

I was hesitant to order because, as we all know, a company promises certain reviews, and they rarely live up to them. However, I am amazed in a positive way! I ordered the eyeliner and the mascara and it is everything it said it would be! Not only that, strangers gave complimented me on my eyes!! Both go on very smoothly. And last! I just love these items and plan to try their lip product soon. I am also very impressed that the donate with every order! Two thumbs up!!
