Tarte : Lights, Camera, Flashes Statement Mascara

+tarte cosmetics has been sneaking its way in to my makeup collection now for a while and their Lights, Camera, Flashes statement mascara holds no exception.  Now on my third tube let me let you in to a little story as to why this has now made it in to, dare I say, my holy grail stash, bold statement people, it's a bold statement kinda post.

Whilst some mascaras can be difficult to decipher between this will leave you instantly seeing a huge difference when applied to your lashes.  It both thickens and lengthens whilst coating your lashes in a jet black coat that stays put all day, doesn't go clumpy nor does it flake.  I know you're asking the same question as me at this point, did this actually get sent from heaven?

Equipped with two types of wand on the brush you'll find printed to the packaging 1 and 2 which thankfully makes wondering which side to start with a lot easier!  For me side 1 packs on the mascara adding length ...

Step 1

Step 1 bristles

Then step 2 swoops in finishing the job off packing in the volume by the dozen ...

Step 2

Step 2 bristles

Needless to say this Lights, Camera, Flashes statement mascara does exactly as the same suggests and leaves one heck of a lasting impression to your lashes.  Even to the point where this isn't the waterproof option and you are still left carefully holding the eye makeup remover pad over your eyes to gently ease it off!  It is a monster to remove but how it looks makes it more than worth it!  I call this my 'heavy duty' mascara for when I'm either at an event or out all day because ladies and gents, this won't budget or smudge anywhere on your facial area.  The product itself isn't gloopy, runny or too wet and the different length bristles allow you to easily wiggle on through coating every single lash without the spidery effect paying a visit.

It's safe to say that this wonderful mascara is now one of my ultimate favourites as it does everything I want a mascara to do!!

What's your absolute go-to mascara?
