Magic Mascara That Doesn't Flake or Smear

If Maya Base was THE Gee Thanks! product of 2022, then its met its 2023 match with Merit’s Clean Lash Lengthening Tubing Mascara — the answer to raccoon-eyed girlies everywhere (myself very much included).

You might be wondering, tubing mascara? Is that…mascara in a tube? I used to wonder the same thing. But actually, tubing mascara is made up of is a formula of polymers that wrap around each individual lash while regular mascara paints pigment over your lashes. Pigment smears. Tubes stay put. Remove with a gentle swipe using a cloth and warm water.

Merit’s Clean Lash got scooped up by the early adopters back on Black Friday after I tipped off my beloved #RaccoonCrew so the Geezer reviews are finally here.

And let me tell ya.

They are RAVE.

If you’re looking for my bonafide picks from Merit, these are the four I recommend wholeheartedly. I have tried the whole line of products and I liked it all, but LOVE these:

Signature Lip: The perfect lightweight lipstick for every day. Like your lips, but better. I have pinkish light skin and Baby is the color that looks most natural on me.
Flush Balm: The creamiest, most blendable blush. So luxe and lasts a long long time because a little goes a long way. They just released 4 new colors!
Great Skin: Dewy, plumped, and primed for makeup application. Sold out for THREE MONTHS and FINALLY back!
