For the past 5 years, Thrive Causemetics has been known above all as having the Best Tubing Mascara on the market with their Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. After they dominated the market, they listened to their community, many of whom needed a mascara just as transformative, but that focuses on VOLUME instead of LENGTH. Their requests have been heard and on May 17th, Thrive Causemetics launched their Liquid Lash Volumizer Mascara! One that instantly creates the look of faux lashes with our peptide-packed, lash-loving mascara. This mascara’s custom-designed Lift + Curl Dual-Bristle Brush™ individually coats lashes evenly for bold volume without clumping, flaking, or smudging. Their Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara will give you that faux-lash look without the glue or salon appointment with ultra-volumizing mascara that formula coats each lash to create a full-lash look in seconds. Keep your lashes looking full and lifted for up to 16 hours. Their lightweight, yet high-impact formula applies just how you like it with their custom Lift + Curl Dual-Bristle Brush™, designed to boost and hold a curl all day without weighing lashes down. What makes this mascara so special is the Power Peptide Lash Booster™ and nourishing ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and organic pea sprout extract, this mascara conditions to promote the appearance of thicker, healthier lashes both instantly and over time. Sodium Hyaluronate holds 1,000 times its weight in water to hydrate and replenish moisture on the skin and eyelashes, while Organic Pea Sprout Extract helps the eyelashes to keep their density and thickness by helping to improve hair’s vitality. Peptides condition the eyelashes to provide visibly healthier, longer, fuller, and stronger lashes.
