Sephora Natural Mascara
Thickens and Lengthens Lashes

With the help of things like rice bran wax and olive esters, Sephora claims their Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 natural mascara by Tarte will not only lengthen and thicken your lashes but it will also condition them while you work. We took their challenge.

Lights, Camera Lashes! is called a 4-in-1 mascara because it is claimed to “1. lengthen, 2. curl, 3. volumize and 4. condition” your lashes while you are partying, working or just making your way out in this big old world. The “new” ingredients are supposedly what makes the difference. Rice bran wax helps lengthen lashes, carnauba wax extends and coats lashes; provitamin B is added to thicken and nourish the lashes; olive esters condition the lashes and finally mineral pigments are what give it its color. The mascara was given Sephora’s Natural Seal, meaning that it passes an internal set of standards and doesn’t contain any items on their “bad” list.

 

Here’s what the mascara doesn’t have: “paraben-free; petro-chemical free; phthalate free; sulfate free; synthetic fragrance free; oil free; gluten free; triclosan free; dye free; talc free; MEA/DEA/TEA free; Formaldehyde donor free; cruelty free; GMO free; PPG free; clinically and dermatologist tested.” That certainly makes you do a double take and wonder what a “conventional” mascara is made from. The packaging, while “cute” as purple, shiny faux alligator skin, is a bit on the over-packaging side. For a “natural” mascara, it would have been nice to see some sort of biodegradable or reusable container.
