Line n Grow Lash Lengthening Tinted Eyeliner in Eggplant

We are all dying to try the new Line n Grow Lash Lengthening Tinted Eyeliner. Line n Grow comes in a wide range of colors (Black, Brown, Eggplant, Midnight Blue, and Olive) and works on the lash follicle to keep the lash in longer. And if the lash is in longer, then it will grow longer. If you are putting on eyeliner anyways, why not make it work for you?

It has great ingredients, including Panthenol (the stuff in d.j.v. beautenizer’s mascaras that is keeping Courtney’s lashes super long right now), and Ph7-Polypeptide, which is found in many lash growth serums. I’m undecided between eggplant and olive myself…though I suppose I couldn’t go wrong with any of the shades!

What Beauty.com says about Peter Thomas Roth UnWrinkle Pads: “Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Peel Pads are a gentle yet effective daily peel with a PTR 20% proprietary complex of alpha, beta & gamma exfoliators (including glycolic, salicylic, lactic, linolenic acids) and amino acids, which are the building blocks of peptides. Helps to minimize pores, clarify the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Leaves skin soft, smooth, firm and revitalized. “

My PTR UnWrinkle Pads Experience:

Some Immediate perks:

· It did not sting, even on delicate skin areas.

· My skin IMMEDIATELY looked better and my skin GLOWED upon use.

· My between the eyebrow crinkle wrinkles vanished. I don’t have real forehead wrinkles but I do have a forehead line/crinkle between my eyebrows from squinting that shows mostly when my skin is very dry. It immediately looked better after application, and about 1/2 hour later forehead crinkle was really gone – no trace of it even up close. I have more crinkle lines than real wrinkles, so I didn’t expect much of a wrinkle based result, but I was surprised how much younger my skin looked without the fine expression lines around my eyebrows and lips.

· When I tried the PTR pads, I had not used moisturizer yet that day, and my skin had some dry flakey spots from mild sunburn. Normally when my face gets sunburn, I flake for at least a few days, and most products seem to make it worse or at least sting. But after the pads I was absolutely smooth after one use, no stinging involved.

After a week’s use:

· It removed dry skin without irritation and left my skin visibly more even and clear.

· It sacked the blackheads on my nose within a few days

· The pores on my cheeks were smaller and the pores on my chin seemed not visible at all.

· My skin did not get irritated with continued use.

· My skin was even and clear, so I did not feel a need to use it daily after the initial week because my skin was much more even and clear, so then I switched to using the pads about every three days or so for “upkeep”. Before an event that I want to look nice or if my skin seems kind of blah, I step it up to every other day.

Tip: The directions say to also use the pad on the tops of your hands. There is enough product per pad to do your face, neck, and hands. Some users says they cut a pad in half to make them last longer, but then there is probably only enough product to focus on face and neck. I really like how there is enough product on the pads to use on knuckles and it cleans up ragged cuticles completely.

I recently tried Tarte 4 Day Stay Lash Stain, which Sephora says is “A stain that keeps lashes looking naturally full for four days without reapplying.”

Putting mascara on just twice a week sounded like a great time saver.  Imagine waking up in the morning with full, thick, ready to go lashes?  So I gave it a try and found for me there were pros and cons to the Tarte mascara.  

I did LOVE the way it looked when I first applied the mascara, and thought it was likely to replace my trusty mascara standbys of Imju Fiberwig or Shu Uemura Basic Black. While Shu Uemura Basic Black is a light to medium dull black the Tarte mascara is very VERY black and glossy. The word “stain” made me expect more of a stain liquid consistency to the mascara (maybe like Liptini has for lips? Ooh that would be AMAZING) but the consistency of Tarte 4 Day Lash Stain is not like a regular mascara or a stain, it has more of a liquefied vinyl feel to it. Even when I applied it very gingerly, it did have a bit of a vinyl look when it dried, this is more noticeable from the side view of the lashes then the head-on . This mascara was not coming off no matter what and my lashes looked a mile long. My lashes held their post-Paula Dorf eyelash curler curl after the mascara application, which is a plus. I hate when mascara is so heavy that it droops a good lash curl immediately.

The problem was even though the Tarte mascara did not run, it did come to look plastic-y vinyl like on my lashes, making them look a little fake, especially where I was not careful to comb out any clumps. It is NOT a rush and go sort of mascara that you can quickly apply, it requires time.

My biggest problem though was it irritated my eyes as the day wore on, so wearing it for four days was just not going to happen. The vinyl-like feel is also so heavy that I was reluctant to wear it overnight for fear of damaging or pulling out my lashes due to the weight of the applied product.

I really wanted Tarte 4 Day Stay Lash Stain to work and it did look absolutely great when first applied, sort of in an anime girl doe eye way,so I tried the mascara a few times, but each time my eyes got irritated and I got asked if I had been crying or if I was sick. I have never had a problem with a mascara before and I can tolerate most eye makeup and products well (and I have no problem suffering for beauty’s sake!) but Tarte 4 Day Lash Stain just irritated my eyes too much. It did not flake or run and the actual mascara stayed absolutely intact, so I am not sure of the source of the irritation. The lashes looked perfect even though my eyes looked red and bloodshot and itchy.

As a second beauty idea, I had also hoped the Tarte mascara could double as a grey hair root touch up in a pinch as it says it would last for four days, so I thought I might be able to cover a few pesky gray hairs that refuse to submit to hair dye. Now bear in mind Tarte makes no promises of the sort, but if you had the same idea that I did, I found it too thick and vinyl-like to actually apply to hair. There are some good temporary hair color pens just for this purpose now, I think I am going to just give in and try one of those.

But Tarte mascara looks so good when first applied, that if Tarte came out with a sensitive eye version, I would try it again in a heartbeat.

Tarte 4 Day Lash Stain is $18 at is available at Sephora.com and Beauty.com.
