I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...

Thoughts:

- Has a bit of fall out, or smudging, but this was more fall out than just getting messy.  On a scale from 1(none-very little) to 5(panda eyes) the smudging is maybe about 2, so manageable but annoying.

- Layering a lot doesn't seem to make the mascara more effective

- The results are quite modest considering the name "lash lift" - still, nice natural lash look

- I'm surprised how quickly the mascara dried to be unusable, right at 6 month mark, when some mascara formulas stay good for a year or more

- Didn't notice any difference in my lashes condition despite the peptides. But I do not have problems with my lashes, usually. 

- Not waterproof, didn't really test the mascara in rain though so no comment



+ The smudging lessened when the mascara dried a little, it was the worst right after opening it

+ Easy to wash off and didn't seem to damage my lashes

+ Didn't make lashes look crunchy

+ Didn't weight down lashes (didn't keep them curled up either)

+ Easy to layer, doesn't dry too fast

+ I liked the plastic brush! Precise to use.

 

* Makethemake Tripeptide-1 Lash Lift Mascara has a weird name, because I definitely wouldn't consider it belonging into any great lash lift category!

* Got this from Skincity Advent Calendar. Makethemake is apparently their own brand?

* Btw, Skincity just released the advent calendar for this year. I might not go for it this time. It looked alright though, but I think Bangerhead's calendar is more versatile so I will consider that. All other calendars have looked quite bleh.

Buy again? 

No.

Worth the money? 

No, not to me. But Makethemake Tripeptide-1 Lash Lift Mascara is an ok mascara however, for a cheaper price I could repurchase it, maybe around 8-12 €! For someone who doesn't have skin prone to oiliness and likes natural lashes this could be a great choice.
