Hi there! I’m Isabella and I spent $24 on Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara only to have it go on sale this month during Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty Sale. Oh, woe is freaking me. I happen to be a die-hard fan of Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes. I’ve tried other Tarte mascara but none of them are as good as Lights, Camera, Lashes. This past Summer I had this moment of really relishing new beauty releases. I was really getting into anything and everything makeup the past few months. I dunno where it came from but suddenly I was all, “I wanna buy makeup!” That feeling hasn’t hit me in quite a while so I embraced it and just enjoyed experiencing new makeup or even purchasing a few older items that were on my wish list for a while.

One item I went into a weird frenzy over was Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara. It was featured on Tiktok and of course, I feel into the dumbass trap of believing what this person was telling me about it giving her the longest lashes of her life. Sigh. I purchased it for $24 bucks (and of course, it was $12 dollars this week during Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty Sale) and eagerly awaited the UPS man to drop it off. I was convinced it would be as amazing as my beloved Lights, Camera, Lashes.

Dior, Chanel, and other high-end luxury brands don’t want you to know they likely paid $3 bucks to produce that lipstick you just paid $42 for. Ouch! It’s a common fact you’re paying for the brand’s name and the packaging but not so much the actual product inside which is fairly cheap to produce.

I watched a very interesting Tiktok yesterday on how “brands are ripping you off”. I’d link it here but I don’t want the person who made it to think I’m trashing them nor do I want you to think I’m doing so either. The reason I say this is because I actually disagree a bit with what she was saying in her Tiktok! That’s my opinion obviously but I didn’t want it to come across as hey, I know stuff and I disagree because of that. Keep in mind, I know nothing 🙂 I’m just expressing how I feel based on products I’ve tried and just fitting that into what she was saying.
