"I like the Milani one. Milani has a tubing mascara that's really good. [...] It's really good. The longevity, like it does get a little flaky in comparison to the Tarte one, but it's hardly it, it's barely different. $12.99 for this one."

"I have to say this Milani highly rated tubing mascara is golden. I feel like the drugstore mascaras are where it's at overall. I don't feel compelled to buy either of those because there's so many great options from the drugstore."

"It's [...] not a complete replica of the Thrive formula, but it's a nice alternative, more accessible and convenient since you can pick it up at Target or Walmart, and it's thirteen ninety nine, less expensive, but drier, more fallout, and a bit clumpier than Thrive. I really really like it."

*Vlog* MILANI LASH EXTENSIONS MASCARA & HERO WORSHIP @DrDrayzday

"I later found the highly rated Milani Lash Extensions mascara and I love this one too. This is a tubing mascara, meaning it basically puts tubes of mascara onto your lashes, so when you use your cleansing oil or eye makeup remover to take it off at the end of the day, these tubes just nicely come off. This is like the Thrive Cosmetics mascara [...] but less expensive and easier to find. I love love love this. It gives more of an elongated lash."

"I tried out the new Milani tubing mascara I purchased this morning. [...] First impression, it does give a nice elongating and thick lash, but it's not as elongating [...] in my opinion as the Thrive Cosmetics one. It's pretty good and a lot more accessible, you can just walk into Walmart and get it. So yeah, I like this one."

"This is a tubing mascara and it's the only thing that can compare to another mascara I used to love. After using this one, there's no joy in testing any other mascara out there because nothing compares to this one. I typically buy mascara from this brand a couple times a year, and this is always one of them. It's usually on sale for 20% off, but the free shipping is the key. Regular price is 26 bucks, now 20 bucks, and the free shipping is very important."

"This one lash extensions can you see the what they were doing it was brilliant. Honestly if I put this one on or this one on I couldn't tell the difference. This stuff is half the price and it's absolutely amazing. I love my Thrive still, my go-to I still backups, but the Milani lash extensions just as amazing. A lot of days I layer them too because I just like to do that."

"The Milani got a two out of five score on the application. It applied very wet and it took a while to dry down. It would transfer when I blinked so I had to do quite a bit of cleanup. [...] The lashes are long, they're a little bit on the spiky side, not very natural looking, so a four out of five on the look. On the smudge ability, [...] I waited a few hours in between each kind of like a midday, like if you would just rub your eye. This only got a two out of five on the smudge factor."

"It does get better if you brush it out with a spare spoolie and as it dries out a bit. It's not the worst mascara I've ever tried but it's not the best either, and I ultimately think it's not easy to apply the way it advertises. I think the Hamish mascaras are far better than this."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
