Like many of you, I've been on the endless quest for the perfect mascara, trying everything from high-end to drugstore brands. For a long time, Too Faced's Better Than Sex mascara was my go-to, and I really thought nothing could top it. It gave great volume, but sometimes I felt it could get a bit clumpy or flake after a long day.
Then I stumbled upon a sample of what the OCR identifies as the 'tarte lights, LASHES platinum' Volumizing Mascara. And let me tell you, it was an absolute revelation! From the moment I first applied it, I knew this was different. The packaging itself, that sleek silver, ornate tube, instantly caught my eye – it feels luxurious and sturdy, a small detail but it adds to the experience. When I saw the image of the silver tube labeled 'tarte lights, LASHES platinum' for a Volumizing Mascara in the OCR, it instantly clicked, this is *the one*.
What makes this mascara a 10/10 for me? It delivers incredible volume and length without any of the downsides I experienced with others. My lashes look lifted, separated, and dramatically fuller, yet they still feel soft and flexible, not brittle or stiff. The formula is just perfect – it doesn't clump easily, even when I go for multiple coats, and I haven't noticed any flaking throughout the day, which is a huge win for me. It holds a curl beautifully, making my eyes look more open and awake. Seriously, it’s like my natural lashes but amplified by about a hundred!
My secret for truly dramatic results is applying at least three coats. I start with a wiggle at the base of my lashes and then pull straight through to the tips. For the second and third coats, I focus on building up volume and definition, especially on the outer corners to create a fanned-out effect. For those asking about 'tarte white mascara' – while this isn't a white primer, the distinctive silver tube might be what you're thinking of, or perhaps you're looking for a specific Tarte primer! This particular one is definitely a black volumizing mascara.
It's also great that it comes in different size options, as the OCR indicates, with a larger 0.31 oz and a smaller 0.16 oz. This means you can try out the smaller size for $15 before committing to the full $28 tube, which is perfect for testing the waters. I found mine at high-end beauty stores, so it's quite accessible. If you're searching for a 'tarte mascara silver tube' that gives you mind-blowing volume and length, without the hassle of clumping or flaking, you absolutely need to try this. It's become my new holy grail mascara, and I genuinely believe it lives up to the hype!
No cons at all? That's wild! Usually, there's always something, even if it's just the price. What makes it so good?
