Disappointed in the mascara and brilliant eye brightener. This mascara is definitely not better than the best mascara, Lancome, except that Thrive is cruelty free. But it doesn't make your lashes look great. The eye brightener doesn't go on easy and if you're putting it under your eyes, you have to drag it hard on your sensitive undereye skin. I'll keep the lipstick because it's a pretty shade. But will return the mascara and eye brightener.

what can i say good about the product.....natta! my eye lashes look worse not wearing now. its so glue like hard to get off and makes my eye lashes weak. i am waiting to see if I will get a refund....if so i will revise and at least they may have customer service down....but remaiins to be seen. I am irate that my eyes itch and hidden words in product disguise "SOY" and others unless you spend time breaking down ingredients you wouldnt know! basically it is expensive. I guess IF they do indeed donate the dollar to cancer then barvo...however i am sceptical and even still...the product is too over priced but thought i would try. I am giving it a horrible rating for the fact that I have broke down my once very nice eyes lashes that i wanted to make even nicer. oh yeah it clumps alot in inner part so its hard to seperate without m aking a mess. i think there 5 stars is fluff from company pin heads and it isnt real from people who actually use it.

Had the exact same problem as Anne Levis. Bought eyeliner and it broke every time I used it. I had bought it with other things I had other eyeliners from a previous sale. It should have been ok for a few weeks. But I was told I waited too long to complain. Bad customer service. Should have replaced a cheap eyeliner to keep customer happy so I would continue buying other products. In absolutely love the mascara and the lipsticks are so pretty, but I will not buy because of the way I was treated because I didn't immediately get in touch with you over a rather cheap eyeliner. I even tried it today and it broke off under the. Plastic holder. So irritating. And customer service blames me because of the date the product was bought. It broke the 1st time and every other time I tried to use it. Never experienced it breaking every time with any other brand. I am sure it was old when shipped.

I purchased the waterproof eyebrow 2 pencils 1 in Christina and 1 in Audrey. Colors are not truly as shown. I really liked the one in Audrey but it did not last very long for the price they want for it. By not lasting long I mean the pencil was used up in no time. Won't buy again. I keep looking for a water proof brow product.

I bought three different colors of eyeliners. Each had two sides, a pencil on one side and a kind of fuzzy brush on the other. I bought them because I can't use the pencil eyeliners. But when I tried the brush (or soft) side, NO COLOR CAME OUT. I tried all three, and no color came out even when I swiped it on my hand. I let the company know how dissatisfied I was, and they suggested perhaps I did not know what end to use. I explained that I know that, and asked for a refund. They refused, even after I told them it would build better customer relations if they would stand behind their product!

I got their mascara and was very excited because of all the good reviews. I was very disappointed, clumpy and frankly my drugstore mascara was much better. I figured it just wasn’t for me and the return process was fine. However, I left my honest review (basically just saying that shipping was fast and great but the product didn’t work for me), but they NEVER POSTED the review. Reviews with later dates have been posted, but not mine, likely because it wasn’t a 5 star praising the product like crazy. That’s VERY shady and dishonest, which is really what irks me. I bought the product based on so many good reviews and now I know how they skew these things.

I ordered the waterproof mascara, brown eyeliner and lipstick. 5 stars for the mascara and 0 stars for the eyeliner and lipstick. Waterproof eyeliner is too soft and didn't last at all. The lipstick, though it was the same color name that the one I ordered, didn't look like in the picture and leaves your lips very dry. I left a review on their web site and doesn't show there. I think they deleted it. Very very desapointed!

When I first received the products I really liked them. However, I ordered a number of eye liner pencils ALL of which broke off with just a tiny amount of the lead exposed. They are too soft to allow application without breaking. I purchased about 4 or 5 of them and they all did the same thing. Because I had passed the 60 day return policy, the only thing they offered was a 20% discount if I purchased more. Why would I purchase more of such a low quality product ? There is a huge profit in cosmetics and I believe their policy a way beyond "stingy" and unreasonable and their customer service is the worst I've ever encountered. I will never purchase another thrive product and will tell everyone I know what an inferior company they are.

I would give this company 0 stars if I could. I ordered their mascara... once I received it I found out it was a very mediocre product (especially seeing the $30 price tag). I reached out via the company Instagram page (seeing that’s where I first learned of the product) and expressed I was not happy with the product and not only did I not get a response from the company, they deleted my comment. When I noticed they deleted my comment I made another... then again, my comment was deleted and they blocked me!!!! Unbelievable non-customer servicecabd very shady. Now I know why all their reviews in IG are positive!

I used a coupon code to order 2 infinity waterproof eyeliners. The order provided the 15% off and showed the discounted price. However, after I entered my payment info and hit submit, the discount disappeared and it was back to the original price. The customer service responded by saying that the coupon was only for first-timers (nothing like that was written on the coupon, while there was another $10 off coupon posted for first-timers. ) The woman helping me, Kate sounded like a robot and was completely unempathetic. I canceled my order and took my $44 elsewhere. If you're going to charge that much for an eyeliner, please honor the coupons. Fortunately, the eyeliner is similar to the Loreal Infallible ($8-9) , for almost a third of the price. Great job Kate at turning away a 2nd-time customer.

I ordered the new Headliner Trio lipsticks. Received yesterday and extremely disappointed. They are advertised as long wearing color, BUT just like the cheapest lipstick you can buy, the color was completely gone in about an hour. This lipstick costs more than 3 times as much, for nothing better than drugstore. Also, be careful because all 3 colors I received are darker than shown on website. I ordered Emil, Bizzy and Aquila. This is definitely false advertising as being all day color-doesn't last over an hour. I'm out over $70 for something I could have bought for around $20-25 for all 3 lipsticks. Be very careful when ordering these products.

Wish I could say amazing things since the "Cause" is worthwhile, but what horrid products, such a sad waste of my money. I can't believe this is so hyped up. The only pro was the eyebrow liner but even that is too much for $23 and little product. Can find better cosmetics without cheap quality products and misleading customer service. Cons: Eyeliner - Fades after a few minutes of applying. Definitely not waterproof, misleading info. Cosmo blush - dry and patchy on face, too shimmery. Too expensive for the quality. Sculpt Bronzer - Limited shade range, doesn't last long on face. Perfect eye palette - Not every shadow is pigmented as advertised. Color fades after a few hours. Price is not worth the quality. Lip mate high shine topper - sticky and horrible, not hydrating.

Wow. My next "review" will go to the Better Business Bureau. First, I ordered two eyeliners at $22 apiece, which were listed as "semi-permanent" and waterproof. They are neither. Even worse, the normal, gentle pressure used to apply the eyeliner caused the liner itself to crumble and break off! And no, I didn't have a lot of it exposed - the normal amount. You could frankly get a comparable product for a fraction of the price at any drugstore or discount store anywhere in America. BUT HERE;S THE WORST PART. I posted to their Facebook page. It was never included. I posted a 1-star review on their web page. They never posted it. So, I took a different tack and posted the review as a comment to a post on their Facebook page. Within five minutes, the comment was removed and I was blocked from posting. Seriously folks - every company is bound to have haters. If the products are really good, those companies tolerate the haters and strive to address quality and value concerns. Thrive does not. Moreover - they advertise falsely by only allowing 5-star reviews on their web page and blocking any negative comments on social media. I will be reporting them to the FTC and the BBB. But save your money, and your frustration on this overpriced, sham company.

I'm disappointed in the Thrive " waterproof " liner. I was SO excited to receive it due to all the enthusiastic reviews. Well.. BOOO.. it's NO BETTER than any other waterproof liner.. you might as well use NYX, wet and wild NYC or any other drugstore brand.. the reason the Thrive FB has such great reviews is because they BLOCK anyone with anything that is even slightly negative .. even questions.. so buyer beware...

I love their mascara. It is so easy to apply and washes off easily. I have purchased the mascara several times and once it wasn't the same. It flaked and seemed to dry out super fast. That is why I only gave it 4 stars. Just wondering if I got a bad batch that time.

I purchased the Thrive lip liner on their website, haven't received my order. Emailed to complain about not getting it yet, it's been a few weeks, and they emailed back it was delivered. It wasn't waited a few more days, no delivery, again they say it was delivered by DHL. Still don't have my lipliner, Thrive won't accept the fact I don't have it. I am a business owner and get deliveries often so this upsets me as I have been a Thrive customer for a few years. Thrive needs to address this in a professional manner.

I ordered $210 worth of product over three weeks ago and have yet to receive it. The tracking number doesn’t work (hasn’t updated in a week) and I have messaged the company (and gotten responses) blaming Covid and weather. I really liked the idea of the company and their purpose as a cancer survivor myself, and wanted to support it, but it makes it difficult when it seems like it’s a scam?

I like what the company is trying to do. However, I must report that I get some sort of reaction to the mascara. It makes my lids feel odd, not pain but irritated. More importantly, my eyeballs hurt from wearing the mascara. I tried it for about 5 days with same to worsening results. Eyeliner does not seem to create an issue. Oh well buy and learn

I purchased the Skin Essentials Regime and after a couple of months of usage, my aesthetician had to work harder during my facial than any other time. This is a true testament of how the product worked for me. I have more blackheads than I have had in years--the facial was a bit painful correcting the wrong of Thrive. Don't recommend and definitely wouldn't use again even if free. My window of return has closed so I'm just gonna toss all remaining products in the trash. Not worth paying for the extra work during the facials--in pain and in money!!

I needed an eyeliner for the water line (should’ve got the urban decay one) but I went with the 24 hr waterproof black liner that claims to be for the waterline. I’m not rich, but I bought it. It doesn’t do anything but smear in about 5-10 minutes. I wouldn’t Recommend this product as a product regardless of where the proceeds are going. Also I would’ve given a higher review just not to be mean but I couldn’t find anywhere to write a review. Clearly they have their reviews customized. How convenient.

I really wanted to like the Thrive Liquid Eyelash Extensions mascara. My eyes constantly watered throughout the day. Upon taking off the product, my eyelids had an allergic rash reaction - red, puffy, and itchy. It took a few days to clear up. I tried using the product three times over the course of a month with the same outcome. I am not overly sensitive to makeup products and have never had a reaction like this one to mascara. Please do more testing with your product and correct the formula.

I bought this after seeing a ton of instagram ads for it and finally gave in. At first I loved the length but then after 30 mins it started to flake. I’ve only worn it twice and each time have gotten a bad reaction which I think it because of the mascara. my eyelids are red, puffy, dry, and my eyes hurt!! I’ll stick to my L’oréal for cheaper and better quality mascara from now on.

Don't fall for the click and bait! The mascara they heavily advertise is utter crap! Their customer service is not that great, had to as Sinead the same question multiple times. They also charge a $5 return fee if you want to return an item and not exchange. While they may be willing to waive the free if you complain, they still expect you to spend your own money to send them back the used makeup (which clearly is not as advertised)! Ultimately, don't waste your money. Go to an actual in person make up company, that isn't click bait!

To say that I was disappointed with mascara would be an understatemen. It clumps , it flakes, and literally looks like I shook pepper on my face, it's nearly impossible to remove, and I think that my lashes are actually thinner due to coming out in the clumps of mascara upon removal. The good news is that I can throw it away...and achieve the look with Clarins mascara. Sorry, to sound so harsh.....but this was not what I thought it would be based on Thrive's claims.

I recently purchased Thrice Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and I am very disappointed in the product. The Loreal Telescopic Mascara I have been buying for $11.00 in drug stores is much better. Liquid Lash Extensions does not lengthen effectively and is extremely clumpy and flakey. This mascara looks NOTHING like what it does in the professional stock photos on models when you see it on humans in real life. I would highly recommend not wasting your money - you will be disappointed!

be careful, I used this for weeks with great results until my eyelashes started falling out. You’ll see when you wash your face, it coats the entire lash and when you wash it comes off in black plastic strands, taking your natural lash too. They begin to fall out over time. I noticed my lashes stuck all over my lash curler as well, something that had never happened in my life. I have no pre-exhausting allergies/sensitivities.

I would give the Thrive mascara zero starts if it were an option. I had beautiful black eyelashes before I started using it and just wanted to accentuate them a bit, now I have half the eyelashes I had before and have used nothing different on my eyes. This stuff is garbage and made the existing eyelashes break and fall out. I'll never purchase from this company again.

I tried the mascara for ONE day and noticed I immediately got a headache and slight burning near the base of my lashes. The mascara is clumpy and looked awful on. I was going to try it one more day to see if there was a better technique but when I CAREFULLY removed my makeup at night I noticed a clump of my lashes had fallen out AND the lashes that remained were actually shorter.

I really liked the Thrive eye liner and I purchased it several times over a years time. I noticed while using the product that I kept developing small white bumps on my eye lids know as Milia. I've never had Milia before and I decided to stop using thrive to see if the adverse reaction would stop. After a year of not using thrive products I have not had anymore small white bumps develop. I am not sure what is in these products but it might not be the safest. I've never had a reaction from a cosmetic before.

I purchased the glossy lip hydrating serum. It said in addition to moisturizing, it was an all day lip stain. That is a ridiculous claim as there seems to be little if no pigment in it. I ordered the pink, which online looks like a good solid cover up pink like I’m used to wearing but instead there is no visible color whatsoever. I should have saved my money and used Vaseline!

Terrible experience. I purchased Glossy Lip Mark and Lip Liner Kit (along with several other items). The Glossy Lip Mark came out cakey and gross. I asked to exchange the items but was told I could only exchange for same item but in different color. Why, if their Glossy Lip Mark is cakey would I want to exchange it for another cakey color? I asked for a refund. Yep, got one...sort of. Cost of the two items $40.00. My refund after they took out money for their "restocking fee" and deducted other fees was $29.00.

Be very careful when ordering from this company. The return policy ensures that they still profit off of your purchase, you actually lose money if you try to return the inferior mascara. I purchased the mascara and it was terrible. It barely showed up, did not thicken nor elongate. If you want to donate to cancer patients and survivors - do so yourself. You don't need a makeup company to do it on your behalf. They have a bunch of company zombies it seems that high five every post they make online so be careful - I have to suspect that some of the reviews are not authentic.

I had high hopes for the liquid lash extensions mascara after reading reviews and watching YouTube reviews. It did not deliver or even come close to what the product advertised. Even with just a single coat, it left my lashes horrendously clumpy and sticky. A second coat made it look like spider lashes minus the length. Drug store brands have worked better and are much less expensive. Returning it meant losing out on the shipping cost but keeping a useless product that you paid $32.23 for didn’t make sense either.

I spent over $26 (with S/H or tax, whatever made it over the $24 selling price) on the Thrive Cosmetics Mascara. It promised fuller, thicker , and curling lashes. This product is not any better than what I usually use, which is Maybelline the falsies Push Up. As a matter of fact I think the Maybelline product makes them much longer, and I could buy almost four of them at that price!
