Next week, our friends from Red Apple Lipstick launch THE LASH PROJECT: a gluten-free lash conditioning mascara. Basically the product I’ve been waiting for my whole mascara wearing life!
My lash envy has gone on for years — I have girlfriends whose eye lashes look long and full BEFORE they even put on their mascara.
Here are my sad little lashes without mascara.
I have spent years asking which mascara they are using, running out to buy it at Target, Sephora, or a department store only to end up with clumpy lashes that leave me with raccoon eyes by afternoon. I toss them into the “rejects” drawer in hopes of trying them again someday to pull off the look I saw on a friend. (never happens) I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on mascaras that don’t work for me. I pull out lashes trying to get the gunky mascaras off — they make my eyes itchy, watery, yet I keep buying new ones in hopes of finding the one that works.
For my wedding I let someone talk me into a tube of mascara that was over $30. Big mistake. Spidery lashes. Smudging. Another reject. (into the drawer)
See the pattern here?
The Lash Project mascara is unlike any other mascara I have tried. Sometimes when you hear claims like that, they sound fake or overused, but I honestly feel that way about this product. (and you guys know I’m 100% honest about products I try, if I don’t like them, believe me, you’ll know!)
Full disclosure: I was gifted a tube of The Lash Project mascara to try out, share with all of you, and even give away a gift set that also includes a Red Apple Lipstick color. Jay and Andrea are super generous in that way and I have never seen anyone stand behind their product (or get as excited about it) like they do. Knowing how much I have loved all of their other products, I will tell you I still had doubts about this one at first.
It’s $42, my friends. And for some, that may seem like a deal breaker at first thought.
But my lashes want you to know….it is worth every single penny and I will be continuing to use it for the rest of my mascara wearing life!
It’s that good.
Here are just some of the highlights…
The Lash Project 2-in-1 (conditions and brings beautiful color) formula is: Gluten Free, Paraben Free, Corn Free, Soy Free, Vegan (synthetic beeswax, not the stuff from real bees), Cruelty Free, Dairy Free, Plasticizer Free, GMO free, Glycol Free, Nut Free, & SLS free
They have solved:
• Clumping (my biggest mascara pet peeve)
• Spidering (gross)
• Smudging (hello humid Wisconsin problems!)
• Flaking
• Eye Irritations: itchy, scratchy watery eyes (then I rub them and it gets worse!)
• Puffy and red eyelids (ouch!)
• Short, stubby lashes (totally me, notice the first photo)
• Lashes that grow in weird directions
• Lashes that fall out (all.the.time)
• Mascara that’s hard to remove (now you can just use coconut oil or soap and water)
And if you try it out and aren’t as impressed as I have been? They will give you up to SIX months to get your money back or exchange it — that never happens with cosmetics!
One coat would give me the look I would wear to work each day. And if we want to go with a few coats, we’re ready for a night out!
I have been using it for about a week now and my lashes are stronger already! This shot is from this morning, no mascara.
But don’t just take my word for it, try it out for yourself!
I’m giving away a little prize pack: 1 Lash Project conditioning mascara AND a lipstick color of your choice. (I’m currently loving Vogue and New York)
