I’m not going to lie, I was HOPING hourglass would be very similar to thrive. There is value to me with something like mascara in being able to get it easily at sephora or Nordstrom. That being said, I find the hourglass to be lighter and easier to build. I am one who has struggled with building thrive so it is a little easier for me
Marie Stopa yes so far wearing for a week I think it’s lighter and seems all around to be an airier effect. Give it a try! Like you said, easy enough to return when it’s from sephora if it just doesn’t suit you.
I was SO close to purchasing the Hourglass mascara the other day, purely curious as to how it compares to Thrive. Here you did that little experiment for me!
The Thrive was always too heavy for my lashes unfortunately because I love the company! I use the glossier and love it for everyday and you can’t beat the price for quality and a beautiful mascara! Thanks kackie for this video!
I’ve started using the Thrive mascara from your recommendation and I LOVE it! I really enjoy not having to deal with raccoon eyes and the constant rubbing to get of other mascaras. Thanks Kackie!
I would like to see a comparison of the Thrive to the drugstore tubing mascaras, i.e. Hard Candy Dare to Extend, No7 Stay Perfect and L'Oreal Million Lashes Excess, to name 3. Thanks
This is so interesting. I didn’t notice how similar they are until you pointed it out. I kinda wish hourglass would have done an hourglass or curved wand. I love the thrive mascara but I prefer a curved wand. I cleaned off one of my old favorite wands and sometimes use that in the thrive mascara. My favorite mascara wand is actually from a mascara from germany. I’ve never seen another wand like it. It’s the Astor big and beautiful bfly. And as the name suggests it’s sort of shaped like a butterfly wing. It has the perfect curves for scooping and pushing lashes up.
I’m old now, and tubing mascara has been around a long time. Not tried these. Most recently I used the Kevin Aucoin. Love finding out if there’s something amazing!
I've been using tubing mascaras for over 12 years and they are definitely my favourites! The first one was L'Oréal Double Extend, then tried Blinc, Too Faced lash injection, Clinique Lash Power, Estée Lauder Double Wear Zéro Smudge, Mac extended Play Gigalash, Lise Watier 24 hr glam, Revlon Mega Multiplier, and more recently, Thrive. There are many more out there that I haven't tried, but because I'm in Canada, I might try the Hourglass to replace the Thrive since with shipping and currency exchange, it ends up costing me too much. I do agree that Thrive is a heavier formula and since I have trouble keeping my eyelashes curled, I curl my lashes, then apply, then dry my lashes with my hairdryer on cool setting and it seems to help keep the curl!
Good call! Also, the Too Faced is the first one I ever tried, like 2010 or something, that claimed to be tubing, and it WASN'T! Did you have any luck with that one?
@@kackie It was okay, but not the best! I only bought it once. I hated the Blinc, which felt like an empty tube of dry mascara... Clinique was super wet and provided no volume or length, same with Revlon. L'Oréal was pretty good for the price! So is Mac! For many years, my go to was Estée Lauder, but I really try not to buy anything from companies that test on animals, so I moved away from that one and have only been using Thrive - thanks to a promotion they had and their gigantic tube that lasts me 6 months! I just opened the second tube yesterday, so I'm good for another 6 months!! 😉
I never saw your original Thrive mascara review but after this you’ll be glad to know I took the plunge and bought the brown Thrive mascara! Can’t wait to finally try after hearing you rave about it in your videos
I just got the hourglass yesterday and immediately put it on. I am in LOVE with it!! I am happy that it is similar to Thrive in that it has the same brush, but behaves differently. Hourglass has a creamier formula which that won't dry up on you when trying to build it up. It doesn't flake and easily removes with soap and water. My complaints with Thrive is that it leaves black specs under my eyes, the fibers get in my eyes and removing it for me is a nightmare. I don't tug, pull or rub my lashes so removing it would take 3 face washes and I still had little black specs all over.
Very interesting comparison. I have the new black/brown color in the thrive mascara. I’m so excited to have a brown tubing mascara as I’m a little too pale to have black look completely natural on me.
We have so many of the same thoughts on this! Thrive has been a favorite of mine for the past year and I think the applicators are a tiny bit different, my Hourglass "spikes" are a little longer and my lashes appear more whispy. I was so glad to hear you say that about the shine because I noticed that too! Great review and comparison! I added your video to my description box!
I love Thrive mascara and currently using it but needing a new one asap but they’re shipping takes forever!! So while on Ulta I came across Hourglass mascara so looked on yt for a video on how well it works! Nice to see both in one vid!! Ty!
The first time I used Thrive mascara back in 2018, the wash-off terrified me, I felt like I was pulling glue from my lashes! But that initial shock turned into love REAL quick and it’s probably the main reason I’ve been so loyal to this brand! I will never use anything that makes me rub my eyeballs after seeing how gently and effortlessly Thrive departs from my lashes! Oh and also, if you set up an auto-order subscription the shipping free! 😁
I agree on the shape and flexibility of the brushes but I happen to be wearing my glasses thank god cuz I’m otherwise BLIND lol but the thrive ones’ bristles have a slight variation in bristle length as to where the hourglass one looked like the bristles were all the same length. The thrive side also looks more lifted and curled slightly but noticeable to me. I wasn’t impressed with HG caution mascara too dry for me but I’ve yet to try thrive. Love black noir by Marc Jacob and the mascara that pairs with it and the primer but Too faced better then sex has the best brush and formula also Benefit they’re REAL I got so many compliments. Ally Glines is a big Thrive mascara user. Her lashes are insane but she never talked about the technology behind why the mascara is so good. This is really making me want to try it although I’m not sure about the removal thing. Sounds weird . I use oil to remove my makeup since I ran out of my giant green clean balm🥴 and if that won’t work idk 🤷🏻♀️ how I’ll take to that
I know we agree they're worth the money, but honestly I wore the thrive one and the maybelline snapscara and they're kind've exactly the same. I prefer the maybelline one even because it's such a similar formula but I think the brush is nicer to use. it's like 7$. it doesn't dry out as fast as the thrive one did. I do want to try the hourglass one though!
No 7 Stay Perfect in the gold tube is a pretty good $9 tubing mascara. Glossier Lash Slick actually isn’t a pure tubing mascara. It smudges on oily skin.
Wild. My initial thought was that at least Hourglass is easier to access for people (in the US at least), but then I remember that Thrive is available in most Ultas now. I have the thrive on the only thing I don't love is the wand style-- there's something about those narrow, short bristled brushes that irritate my eyes. Buxom's Lash Mascara has my all time favorite wand shape and I don't know why it's just now occuring to me to try it with the thrive mascara.
I’m the odd person out that gets a 30% discount with Hourglass thanks to my husband working for Unilever. So for me it’s actually cheaper to get the hourglass. I’ve been wanting to try the thrive for soooo long and if this is the same then I’m excited. I think it is a tad bit shady of hourglass tho, I will agree. 😬
Kackie Reviews Beauty it is and it isn’t. It’s in stores only and unfortunately never in any of the dozens of ultas within a 30 miles radius. Definitely would be a plus if thrive got a more permanent spot in Ulta
I was momentarily excited because I can’t get Thrive in Europe and the only tubing mascara I’ve ever tried is by Kiss me Heroine (not cruelty free, don’t bother) and I thought I was going to loose every single lash. But once the initial excitement died down it has me feeling some kind of way ngl. Just who thought it was a good idea to do this I’ll never know. I think most if not all of Eyeko mascaras are tubing, on the website it talks about fibres an polymers and removing with warm water in the Rock Out & Lash Out and the Black Magic mascaras (have the black magic, but still haven’t tried it) and last time I looked they were cruelty free if you want to check them out. Btw Random question but do you or anyone else in here know how warm the Kosas tinted oil runs? I’m maybe a shade darker than you, with same undertone, so if I try to go for shade 04 which is the first labelled as “warm” I’m gonna end up looking interesting. I was thinking of getting one of the “neutral” shades if they run golden enough but I’ve never seen the shade range in person so I’m a bit lost. No worries if you have no idea, I know this is super random.
The Hourglass mascara is ok but it can’t compete with Thrive. I really love Thrive mascara. Thrive makes my lashes crazy long and it does volumize. ☺️❤️
Try curling your lashes, then applying, then drying your lashes with your hairdryer on cool setting from underneath (to push the curl up and dry the mascara quickly). I find it works for me!
I love Thrive (and the newer brown color), but I always have to comb through my lashes after application. Maybe worth it for me to give Hourglass a shot.
I’ve tried to have a look at formulas of mascara and loads of the main ingredients seem to be the same, although I get what you mean about it being in exactly the same order. But still, I feel like most mascaras are similar anyway. I also think there’s loads of mascaras with similar names - hasn’t maybelline done a lash extensions mascara for years? I’m also quite selfishly happy as I live in the UK so ordering from thrive is not also expensive for shipping but I feel bad ordering long distance parcels delivered by air because of the environmental impact. I understand your outrage since it’s a product and brand you love, but as long as thrive continues to thrive 😂 hopefully it’s all ok!
I like this mascara because it’s very pigmented but hate taking it off. I always have black flakes all over my face and I don’t like to have to rub my eyes
Have you ever tried Sensai (previously Kanebo) tubing mascaras? I’m not sure if they are sold in the US coz I’ve never seen any videos about them, but they have been my holy grail for over 15 years so i highly recommend! I would also love to hear how they compare to thrive for example since thrive doesn’t deliver to Finland 😊 if you decide to test them do not get the original one (the brush sucks on that one) other three are all nice depending on what you want from your mascara 😊
Isn't that common to eventually copy , it's like fashion Rip offs. I'm not sure, I do know that no other brand that claimed to be tubing has been as good. They had to have a absolutely copied to get it to work . To those saying it will be good for people that DoNt WaNT to ORdeR onLIne, I'm pretty sure Thrive is available at Ulta now. At least before Christmas , she had a contract with them ..Maybe it was temporary.
Love thrive . I'd like to find one similar. So far no luck. I have a hard time with makeup remover not really working. Love that thri e leaves no black on my washcloths or face.
I found Thrive cosmetics after you recommended the eye primer to me during a live chat (is that what its called? 🤣) Ever since then the Mascara and eye primer are my favorite 😍.
Oh! I didn’t know Thrive had a tubing mascara so I need to check that out. I have a really hard time finding mascaras that don’t irritate my eyes and/or rub off after 5 minutes which is just so sexy 😂
Fun COVID fact: tubing mascara+mask+hot breath+sunglasses= so many little black tubes entering your eyes while trying to hurry through a grocery shopping experience and not touch your eyes at all.
I have to add another comment. The Hourglass mascara is a different formula than Thrive, it's creamier and not as pigmented. Also, it comes off much easier, if Hourglass ripped them off, I'm glad because I love this one.
I was kind of intrigued by this because Thrive is not accessible to me and you've really been selling me on that mascara, but I'm sure that the sephora here is gonna charge a good 50 bucks for the hourglass 😂
My sister used to work for Hourglass, when they wanted to come out with an eyebrow pencil they went out and got all the Anastasia brow whiz’s and duped the colors. This is not to say they don’t have original thinking-outside-the-box products. My point is, I think most companies do this to a certain extent 🤷🏻♀️. I think I will eventually try this, maybe they will come out with a travel size (I’m in the UK, so this is attainable!)
@@helenalovelock1030 U can order it off Thrive, but the shipping is going to bring the total to nearly double (I would check, because I checked this more then a year ago). The Hourglass is extremely good though!
I recently discovered the No7 Stay Perfect tubing mascara (purchased through Amazon for around $14) and would love to know if you've tried it and how this drugstore formula compares to other tubing mascaras you've tried. My research indicates the No7 brand is cruelty free.
I like what Thrive stands for and that they donate to help women in need so... I’m gonna stick with Thrive’s mascara 😊 it’s cheaper, more product, and the packaging is prettier than Hourglass 💁🏻♀️
Claiming that the name is a ripoff is such a reach. They both use the word “extensions”. So what? 🙄 lots of mascaras compare their payout to extensions.
Speaking of similarities, did anyone else notice RMS’s Ethereal Lip & Cheek Set at Sephora has a blush/highlight duo packaged very similar to Kosas Color & Light duo AND even looks like their shade 8th Muse? 🤔
Hi Kackie! Do you have a recommendation (or someone I can watch) for lashes that need a dryer formula for hard to keep curled lashes? I use Diorshow waterproof mascara right now, and am looking for a cruelty free brand.
I wish I had seen this before buying hourglass unlocked, the most overhyped mascara of my lifetime. My lashes are neither straight nor curly (just average/normal). The hourglass mascara makes my lashes fall - presumably due to the weight of the product. I hate it but I ordered it online from the company so it would be very annoying to return. Thrive is amazing. No contest. 😁
Thrive CAUSEmetics... A beauty brand actually contributing to help women thrive in difficult situations... Think before you buy. Make your purchase from companies who are making great products and doing good things for our world. Be Kind. Stay Kind. Do Kind Works.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but will a tubing mascara not come off of, say, you have watery eyes or are caught in the rain? I guess the whole “only removes with water” confuses me a little, lol
It'll come off with sustained steaminess. So like, you stand face up in the rain on a hot day for a while, yeah. It'll come off. It'll come off in the pool. My mom wore it to the US Open of Tennis in mid August a couple of years ago and no other makeup and she sweated it off. So like, a waterproof would be best in those conditions probably.
Kackie Reviews Beauty ah okay - I live in FL so it’s super hot and humid in the summer. Will probably wait to try it till winter 🤗 thanks for letting me know!!
Kackie if I may ask your professional opinion on tubing mascara in general... Even though it may seem you are pulling off only fibers... Is it possible your are also pulling out eyelash hairs? How could you tell? I'm very curious on tubing mascara but haven't pulled the trigger.
They are soft and floppy when they come off. They don’t even require tugging or coaxing. If you’re concerned definitely just hop in the shower with your makeup on instead of washing your face and you’ll see how the hot water removal works.
Hourglass jeez!! I use their caution mascara and really enjoy it for everyday it’s not waterproof but pretty water resistant but this new product kinda rubs me the wrong way!
Is that even legal for Hourglass to copy Thrive? I did purchase Thrive mascara on your recommendation. I have oily eyelids & it doesn't smear or flake. You have to apply additional coats while it's still wet on lashes. Once it's dried, you can't build it up or you'll pull your lashes out
I’m honestly kinda offended that hourglass couldn’t come up with there own formula and had to rip off a company that gives back to women in need. I’ve been using thrive for years and i love it I keep buying other mascaras to try to top it and nothing comes close..
I honestly feel the thrive side looked better more curled lifted. So mad at HG. I hate that I love there baked powder formulas and loose powder so much otherwise I’d throw them out of my collection. I really lost a lot of respect for them.
Hourglass is not hypoallergenic as Thrive is. Hourglass burned my eyes. I assumed it was hypoallergenic stupid me. So I am going to get my refund from Ulta. I can only wear hypoallergenic cosmetics. Thrive is hypoallergenic so right there it’s better!
Will you try out Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez when it launches? I don't know much about it, but I'm pretty sure it'll be cruelty free and it sounds intriguing.
I think it’s interesting that hourglass is knowingly charging more than thrive when it is widely known that thrive donates a part of the proceeds to charity 🤔
Fu$k hourglass. I just got mine from Sephora-was SO excited for s new tubing mascara-and it looks exactly the same as thrive. It went on a tiny bit lighter but my thrive is a few months old. I’m going to return the hourglass and get the thrive in brown.
This is such a valuable information and it looks like you're the only one who has done this kind of review. Thrive all the way!
I’m not going to lie, I was HOPING hourglass would be very similar to thrive. There is value to me with something like mascara in being able to get it easily at sephora or Nordstrom. That being said, I find the hourglass to be lighter and easier to build. I am one who has struggled with building thrive so it is a little easier for me
Elizabeth S you found it lighter . I had the thrive and found the formula to heavy and clumsy to me .
Elizabeth S I buy For where I can easily return like Sephora or Nordstrom’s. That’s just me
Marie Stopa yes so far wearing for a week I think it’s lighter and seems all around to be an airier effect. Give it a try! Like you said, easy enough to return when it’s from sephora if it just doesn’t suit you.
Elizabeth S exactly especially during the extra points .
Thrive got a contract with Ulta recently.
I was SO close to purchasing the Hourglass mascara the other day, purely curious as to how it compares to Thrive.

Totally - Loreal did tubing way before either of these, so not something any of these can claim to own as an idea.
i hated the Thrive one b/c it clumps so bad and loved the Hourglass one. Personally these two are not similar on my eyelashes.
I need a stiff brush not floppy. Makes it easier for me personally to coat every lash. Those glasses are everything!
I have been wondering about the likeness! You hit all the marks! I heart thrive and love the new Crystal color as well!
I was wondering about this! Great timing. Thanks for the video!

No 7 Stay Perfect in the gold tube is a pretty good $9 tubing mascara.

You can get the Thrive mascara at Ulta - so no shipping costs :)
Is it still there? I thought it was a temporary thing! That's great.
Kackie Reviews Beauty it is and it isn’t. It’s in stores only and unfortunately never in any of the dozens of ultas within a 30 miles radius. Definitely would be a plus if thrive got a more permanent spot in Ulta

I was momentarily excited because I can’t get Thrive in Europe and the only tubing mascara I’ve ever tried is by Kiss me Heroine (not cruelty free, don’t bother) and I thought I was going to loose every single lash.

I’m maybe a shade darker than you, with same undertone, so if I try to go for shade 04 which is the first labelled as “warm” I’m gonna end up looking interesting. I was thinking of getting one of the “neutral” shades if they run golden enough but I’ve never seen the shade range in person so I’m a bit lost. No worries if you have no idea, I know this is super random.
The Hourglass mascara is ok but it can’t compete with Thrive. I really love Thrive mascara. Thrive makes my lashes crazy long and it does volumize. ☺️❤️
Are the “tubes” dangerous for wildlife? Not to give you more to consider, but I heard (I don’t remember where) that it is a hazard.
I’ve been wondering too if they are essentially the same as microplastic, or do they biodegrade.
The L’Oréal has a tubing mascara . It’s ok . The thrive seems to way down my lashes. I wish I could get it work . It went on heavy .
Try curling your lashes, then applying, then drying your lashes with your hairdryer on cool setting from underneath (to push the curl up and dry the mascara quickly). I find it works for me!

How does this mascara perform on lashes that usually straighten and droop with no waterproof mascara?
Oh! I didn’t know Thrive had a tubing mascara so I need to check that out. I have a really hard time finding mascaras that don’t irritate my eyes and/or rub off after 5 minutes which is just so sexy 😂
so interesting !!! thank you!!!!!
I’ve seen Thrive mascara at Ulta. Unfortunately they tend to run out of it or at least did pre-COVID.
Fun COVID fact: tubing mascara+mask+hot breath+sunglasses= so many little black tubes entering your eyes while trying to hurry through a grocery shopping experience and not touch your eyes at all.
I have to add another comment. The Hourglass mascara is a different formula than Thrive, it's creamier and not as pigmented. Also, it comes off much easier, if Hourglass ripped them off, I'm glad because I love this one.
I was kind of intrigued by this because Thrive is not accessible to me and you've really been selling me on that mascara, but I'm sure that the sephora here is gonna charge a good 50 bucks for the hourglass 😂
My sister used to work for Hourglass, when they wanted to come out with an eyebrow pencil they went out and got all the Anastasia brow whiz’s and duped the colors. This is not to say they don’t have original thinking-outside-the-box products. My point is, I think most companies do this to a certain extent 🤷🏻♀️. I think I will eventually try this, maybe they will come out with a travel size (I’m in the UK, so this is attainable!)
We can’t get the Thrive one in the uk can we ? Is that right ?
@@helenalovelock1030 U can order it off Thrive, but the shipping is going to bring the total to nearly double (I would check, because I checked this more then a year ago). The Hourglass is extremely good though!
I recently discovered the No7 Stay Perfect tubing mascara (purchased through Amazon for around $14) and would love to know if you've tried it and how this drugstore formula compares to other tubing mascaras you've tried. My research indicates the No7 brand is cruelty free.
I like what Thrive stands for and that they donate to help women in need so... I’m gonna stick with Thrive’s mascara 😊 it’s cheaper, more product, and the packaging is prettier than Hourglass 💁🏻♀️
TravellinJack this is very true!
I feel like I’m going a little crazy, but I think the hourglass one looks better 😅 I see a difference 🤷🏻♀️
Claiming that the name is a ripoff is such a reach. They both use the word “extensions”. So what? 🙄 lots of mascaras compare their payout to extensions.
Would love to know the brand name of your glasses. Très Chic!
I’m really happy Hourglass is virtually a dupe. Living in Europe I can’t get hold of Thrive without paying loads to get it here.
Speaking of similarities, did anyone else notice RMS’s Ethereal Lip & Cheek Set at Sephora has a blush/highlight duo packaged very similar to Kosas Color & Light duo AND even looks like their shade 8th Muse? 🤔
It's much smaller.
Hi Kackie! Do you have a recommendation (or someone I can watch) for lashes that need a dryer formula for hard to keep curled lashes? I use Diorshow waterproof mascara right now, and am looking for a cruelty free brand.
Omg thrive is my holy grail product! I don’t even mean mascara, I mean make up period! I will never try anything else.
I wish I had seen this before buying hourglass unlocked, the most overhyped mascara of my lifetime. My lashes are neither straight nor curly (just average/normal). The hourglass mascara makes my lashes fall - presumably due to the weight of the product. I hate it but I ordered it online from the company so it would be very annoying to return. Thrive is amazing. No contest. 😁
Thrive CAUSEmetics... A beauty brand actually contributing to help women thrive in difficult situations... Think before you buy. Make your purchase from companies who are making great products and doing good things for our world. Be Kind. Stay Kind. Do Kind Works.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but will a tubing mascara not come off of, say, you have watery eyes or are caught in the rain? I guess the whole “only removes with water” confuses me a little, lol
It'll come off with sustained steaminess. So like, you stand face up in the rain on a hot day for a while, yeah. It'll come off. It'll come off in the pool. My mom wore it to the US Open of Tennis in mid August a couple of years ago and no other makeup and she sweated it off. So like, a waterproof would be best in those conditions probably.
Kackie Reviews Beauty ah okay - I live in FL so it’s super hot and humid in the summer. Will probably wait to try it till winter 🤗 thanks for letting me know!!
Ok,Before I watch Im going to guess thay Hourglass didnt stand a chance compared to thrive Causemetics because Thrive is my holy grail mascara!
Kackie if I may ask your professional opinion on tubing mascara in general... Even though it may seem you are pulling off only fibers... Is it possible your are also pulling out eyelash hairs? How could you tell? I'm very curious on tubing mascara but haven't pulled the trigger.
They are soft and floppy when they come off. They don’t even require tugging or coaxing. If you’re concerned definitely just hop in the shower with your makeup on instead of washing your face and you’ll see how the hot water removal works.
@@kackie thanks girl! Will try it for sure! Hope you the hubby and your little potatoe are enjoying the holidays 🥰🥔😇
Semi-related: is it crucial to throw away mascara after 6 months? Or even less than that?
I think mascara gives you warning signs. It’ll start to itch a little and I toss it at that point.
Hourglass jeez!! I use their caution mascara and really enjoy it for everyday it’s not waterproof but pretty water resistant but this new product kinda rubs me the wrong way!
I tried to use your thrive discount link, but it's not working :/
Is that even legal for Hourglass to copy Thrive? I did purchase Thrive mascara on your recommendation. I have oily eyelids & it doesn't smear or flake. You have to apply additional coats while it's still wet on lashes. Once it's dried, you can't build it up or you'll pull your lashes out
I have no idea on the legality!
I’m honestly kinda offended that hourglass couldn’t come up with there own formula and had to rip off a company that gives back to women in need. I’ve been using thrive for years and i love it I keep buying other mascaras to try to top it and nothing comes close..
I honestly feel the thrive side looked better more curled lifted. So mad at HG. I hate that I love there baked powder formulas and loose powder so much otherwise I’d throw them out of my collection. I really lost a lot of respect for them.
I'm sure thrive compensates you for favoring their products...
Love this & thrive!!! I buy my thrive mascara in store at Ulta! Check your local stores for availability
Wait the Glossier Lash Slick is a tubing mascara??
“Film forming” 🤷🏼♀️ it’s not quite the same
Kackie Reviews Beauty does it come off the same magical way as the Thrive? Or rubbing and raccoon eyes?
Is Thrive at Ulta now?
Apparently! I knew they did a test, but I didn't know if it was still happening.
Kackie Reviews Beauty cool! I was looking for an Ordinary product on the Ulta website and saw Thrive - I was surprised. Thank you!
Hourglass is not hypoallergenic as Thrive is. Hourglass burned my eyes. I assumed it was hypoallergenic stupid me. So I am going to get my refund from Ulta. I can only wear hypoallergenic cosmetics. Thrive is hypoallergenic so right there it’s better!
Will you try out Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez when it launches? I don't know much about it, but I'm pretty sure it'll be cruelty free and it sounds intriguing.
I think it’s interesting that hourglass is knowingly charging more than thrive when it is widely known that thrive donates a part of the proceeds to charity 🤔
tbh i’m always here to support thrive instead 😬 what a weird thing for hourglass to do
Fu$k hourglass. I just got mine from Sephora-was SO excited for s new tubing mascara-and it looks exactly the same as thrive. It went on a tiny bit lighter but my thrive is a few months old. I’m going to return the hourglass and get the thrive in brown.
Too much mascara on? Not possible... lol
