Today, I wanna talk about something that’s been on my mind lately: clean makeup. Specifically, I’ve been digging into Thrive Causemetics. Is it really as clean as they say? You know, with all the buzz around “vegan” and “cruelty-free” these days, it’s hard to know what’s legit and what’s just marketing, right?
So, I decided to do a little experiment. First, I went to their website and did some digging. I read all about their philosophy – how they’re all about empowering women, and how the founder, Karissa Bodner, started the company after losing her friend to cancer. Okay, that’s a touching story, but what about the products?
I learned that they’re known for their Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara, so that seemed like a good place to start. I ordered a tube and, while I was waiting for it to arrive, I checked out some reviews online. Mostly good stuff, people raving about how it made their lashes look amazing. Still, I wanted to see for myself.
When the mascara arrived, I gave it a try. I used it as a replacement for my usual mascara. The first thing I noticed was that it didn’t irritate my eyes, which is a big deal for me because I have pretty sensitive skin. I applied it just like any other mascara, and honestly, it did make my lashes look longer and fuller. I’d say it definitely lived up to the hype in that regard.
But I still wanted to know more about what was actually in this stuff. I spent some time looking at the ingredient list and trying to decipher all those complicated names. I also researched what “vegan” and “cruelty-free” actually mean in the cosmetics industry. Turns out, it’s not always straightforward.
Here’s what I found out about Thrive Causemetics:
- Vegan and Cruelty-Free: They claim to be 100% vegan and cruelty-free. This means they don’t use any animal products and they don’t test on animals. From what I could gather, that seems to be true.
- Ingredients: Their formulas are apparently free of a lot of the harsh chemicals you find in some other makeup brands, like parabens and sulfates. I cross-referenced a few of the ingredients with some online databases, and they seemed pretty clean.
- Supporting Women: I also discovered they have this whole thing about giving back to women’s causes, which I thought was pretty cool.
After using their mascara for a few weeks and doing all this research, I feel pretty good about Thrive Causemetics. They seem to be walking the walk when it comes to clean beauty. I mean, it’s not like I ran any scientific tests or anything, but based on my experience and what I learned, I’d say they’re a pretty good option if you’re looking for makeup that’s a little more conscious.
I’m definitely going to try out some of their other products. Maybe their brow gel next. Have any of you guys tried Thrive Causemetics? What did you think? Let me know in the comments!
