I was fully expecting to pick a winner… but I couldn’t. I’ve been using Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara for years, so I was skeptical when Maybelline Sky High Tubing Mascara launched. Since it’s about half the price, I had to see if it could really compare. For this test, I used my favorite L’Oréal Voluminous Lash Primer with both mascaras to keep things as fair as possible. Here’s my verdict: Both gave me beautiful length and definition. Both stayed put throughout the day. Both removed easily without the mess of traditional mascara. The biggest difference I noticed? Thrive came off just a little easier, but honestly, both performed so well that I couldn’t choose a favorite. If you’ve been thinking about trying a tubing mascara, I don’t think you can go wrong with either one. Sometimes a lower price doesn’t mean sacrificing performance. tubing mascara • Thrive Causemetics mascara • Maybelline Sky High Tubing Mascara • L’Oréal Voluminous Lash Primer • tubing mascara comparison • drugstore mascara • mascara review • long-lasting mascara • smudge-proof mascara • beauty favorites • makeup review • Amazon beauty finds TubingMascara ThriveCausemetics MaybellineSkyHigh SkyHighMascara Loreal LashPrimer MascaraReview DrugstoreBeauty BeautyFinds LTKgrwm LTKBeauty LTKmomlife
