It's time for another vegan and cruelty-free mascara review! So far in this series I have reviewed Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, Pacifica's Aquarian Gaze Mascara and Lily Lolo's Creamy Lash Alert Pure Natural Vegan Mascara.
Let's get to the review of this instalment's pick... Tarte's Tarteist Mascara!
What Tarte has to say about its Tarteist Mascara...
'Jet-black lengthening mascara for 2700% more lash volume.
Product performance: Paint on dramatic lashes powered by good-for-you ingredients with this vegan natural artistry™ mascara. Infused with triple-black painted mineral pigments that strengthen and condition lashes while delivering bold black definition, you’ll get flirty length and volume without any icky, bad ingredients. The patented mascara wand features molded, multi-length bristles that grab-and-lock onto even the tiniest lashes, saturating them in 360° root-to-tip pigment. In a simple stroke, you can sculpt, separate and curl your lashes without any messy flaking or clumping.' - tartecosmetics.com

What I have to say about it...
The Good
- Crazy lengthening with the very first coat;
- Adds a good amount of volume;
- Holds curl well throughout the day;
- Doesn't smudge;
- Doesn't flake,
- Can easily replace natural false lashes with two or three coats;
- Doesn't tend to clump;
- Separates the lashes;
- Leaves the lashes very soft;
- Applies very easily and smoothly;
- Is very easily removed with oil (like castor or almond).
The Bad
- None. This mascara is awesome!
How does it compare to Too Faced Better Than Sex, Pacifica Aquarian Gaze, and Lily Lolo's Creamy Lash Alert Pure Natural Vegan Mascara?
Final thoughts: This mascara is like the Pacifica Aquarian Gaze and Lily Lolo mascara had a super baby. This mascara is even easier to remove than Lily Lolo AND gives more length and volume! The biggest bonus? It holds the curl in my lashes basically all day! I am mildly obsessed with this mascara and had to give it a perfect 5/5. Highly recommend!
RATING: 5/5

Coined by Elizabeth Jean @xparmesanprincessx, the personal curriculum trend is about creating a self-directed learning plan focused on areas of personal interest, loosely based on a school curriculum structure, including things like assigned reading, goals, assignments, and final projects.
At its core, the personal curriculum movement is about celebrating lifelong learning and intellectual curiosity. It's about being more intentional about how we spend our time when we're not sleeping, or at work, or doing the basic maintenance or admin or chores to keep our lives going. It's about using our free time to enrich our lives in a way that is purposeful and intentional and joyful, indulging our curiosity as adults, even once we're outside of structured school environments, getting excited about learning and allowing ourselves the freedom to go down those rabbit holes in our special interests, to challenge our brains in ways that we maybe don't get the chance to in our day-to-day lives.
