My own interest in greening my beauty routine began about five years ago when I learned that there was so little regulation of what goes into our skin and beauty products. While I hated parting with old favorites, I’ve watched as companies worked to make cosmetics as eco-aware as they were luxurious -- like the team at tarte who’ve been in the green beauty business for years.
I’m a huge fan, and when they offered to give Beauty Banter readers a few products, I couldn’t wait to share. Whenever someone asks me where to begin making safer choices at the makeup counter, tarte is one of the first names I’ll mention.
I think their mascaras are some of the best eco-alternatives around. And while their lash hugger is my go-to mascara, I was curious to check out a brand new tube that arrived in the mail the other day. A new addition to their multiplEYE regimen, the natural lash enhacing waterproof mascara ($24) is a “waterproof, sweat-proof and budge-proof natural formula.” It’s a deep, black shade that creates incredible volume (in fact, their tests show a 526% increase in the appearance of lash length). Along with the mascara they also sent their picture perfect eyelash curler ($15) --- it’s ergonomically designed with a bit of a spring to it so there’s zero pinching. The silicone pads are pretty genius, too…no fear that I’m going to squeeze too hard and end up with crimped lashes. It is a really impressive duo: the curler and the mascara. And you can see for yourself here:
Without any other makeup on you can see the huge difference it makes when I curl the upper lashes of one eye and add two light coats of the mascara. I instantly look like I’ve had ten hours of beauty sleep (sadly, I did not). Not only does it look great, but it really lasts --- without parabens, petrochemicals and synthetics. Proof you can find great eco-alternatives without sacrificing quality.
You can find these tarte products online at tarte.com, beauty.com and dermstore.com, and both online and at Sephora stores nationwide.

Hi~~
I'd love to own this mascara! The fact that it gives a 526% increase in the appearance of lash length is just what I need. My lashes need help :) Also, my lash curler is several years old~~~I'd be happy to throw it away for sure :) Thanks!

I love tarte! I agree that the eco-friendly line has come a long way and surpassed a lot of the other big names b/c of their green-ness!

Oh my, such wonderful results! I naturally have nice lashes to begin with, so this would make my lashes outrageous! I'd surely love to try this!!! Can just imagine putting this on and walking into a room, batting those sky-high lashes and having everyone thinking they're fake, when all I have on is another amazing product from Tarte!! I've heard rave reviews about this and would love to try it out.

Thank you for showing us the difference (and explaining) their eye lash curler compared to others! It's always so dirty at my local Sephora (sadly some people use it with their mascaras and it's hard to wipe out) that I never got to try it on.
