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.

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.

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.
