e.l.f. Lash XTNDR Mascara, Soft Black | Made With Tubing Technology For The Look Of Lash Extensions, Clump & Flake Free, Vegan & Cruelty-Free

This mascara makes my lashes look long and full, without making them stiff and flakey. It does not bother my contact lenses. It washes off easily, and added bonus is it's budget friendly. After trying many brands/products and being disappointed, I finally found the one I will buy on repeat.

I am completely amazed at this tubing mascara. I have purchased the BIG name brands in the past that claim their tubing mascara is the BEST, so I tried several. One worked really well, but at $28. - $32.00 for me, I cannot justify the price for the small amount of time before it runs out. I tried e.l.f because of reviews and the PRICE point. I didn't expect much. It arrived yesterday and I applied it this morning. It not only extends my lashes just as the $28.00 tubing mascara I bought last year, but the brown color I bought (and is hard to find) looks great. No clumping, no smearing, each lash looks like it's protected and looks fuller. You have a new customer with me.

EDIT: It's been almost a yr & half - 2 yrs & still using ELF XTNDR TUBING mascara. I was using the 💙Elf tubing mascara in black, I'd just opened it, getting ready like I always do. I bought the 💙Elf Tubing mascara from a store & saw it on Amazon & got 2 more. Now I have a brown one which I love. I have both brown & black, if you've never used the brown, it's awesome & will give you a great look. I think it also comes in blue. While I was putting the 💙Elf Tubing mascara on, mascara almost acts like a water proof mascara, how it was explained to me is that the 💙 Elf mascara wraps around each lash creating a tube, it washes off easily, it doesn't flake or smear & I just found my new mascara. I'd been using princess mascara for abt 2 yrs & always got it on Amazon, made in Germany & I thought good quality, at least as good as I could get for the price but it flakes. Ladies, you have to try Elf Tubing Xtnder mascara, either way, whatever it's called, it will pop up in your search. I love it & have no complaints. What I really like is the brush. I've never used a brush like this one, it's got short rubber like bristles, not really bristles but little nubs & not like the big bushy bristles on big fat mascaras. The applicator wand delivers the mascara to each lash & so good & great layering. That's been one of my issues with different mascaras is not knowing what kind of brush I'll get & end up throwing away many mascaras bc I'd use it a cpl times & quit using it bc of the big fat brushes that hold onto so much mascara that it dries & have to separate my eyelashes. This 💙ELF TUBING layers so nicely, I usually put abt 3 layers & that's why I've come back to Amazon to get a cpl more of what I got from the store. Another thing that you need to know is that this 💙ELF TUBING MASCARA is really similar to "PRIME" mascara made by "PROMETICS." It cost almost $30! I love that one, too. The Prime is supposedly for women over 40 or 50. I bought a tube of Prime from their site, it's the same price here on Amazon as it is on their site. I thought that Prime had so many great reviews I have to try it. This "Prime" mascara made by "Prometics" is ALMOST EXACTLY like the Elf Tubing mascara & the brush is also the same. It's $28 & its also a tubing mascara, as it states on the pkg. I don't usually read the mascara pkg but they were so similar I had to read it & trying it I found that "Prime" is also said it was a tubing mascara. For 4 times as much as 💙ELF TUBING mascara, don't waste your money & spend almost $30 on a mascara when you can get 💙 Elf Tubing mascara is $7 & the same price here on Amazon & in stores. You can get both here & go ahead & try "Prime" just for yourself & you'll see that they're ALMOST EXACTLY the same, the brush & mascara. I'm so glad I got this mascara, I've used this Elf Tubing mascara for over a year & half -- 2 yrs 🌹 So now, I have both, Elf & Prime & I also love the Prime brand. I use store brand makeup remover & it's not oily, similar to Neutrogena, but also cost less. They're almost identical only 1 costs $28 & the Elf costs $7. I had been using different mascaras that cost under $10 bc for the last few yrs & trying to find something, anything that worked like I wanted but settled for Princess 👸 I'm really tired of spending $20 - $30 for mascara & it not being what I wanted or needed. ( there are other mascaras called Prime but they're not made by "Prometics") If you see "PRIME" Mascara on Amazon you'll notice that there are several, similar pkg & color but, look at the company that makes it & also the price! The REAL PRIME mascara is made by PROMETICS & cost $28 there are other Prime for alot less made by different companies. Both Elf & Prime are awesome mascaras & almost exactly the same. They both have the Tubing effect & the same exact wand applicator. They both are great but why pay 4 × as much bc it says for women over 40 or 50. I had to see for myself & I love both of them. If you were to put them both in an unmarked tube, same applicator & tried them side by side, you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference, maybe by the smell. I got both, the Prime for $28 & Elf Tubing for $7. I love both of them. Read my review of "Prime" by "Prometics." You'll love both if you like tubing mascara.

It's a little liquidy so be careful when first applying but once it sets my lashes look double the length. If you have an eyelash curler then do what I do and really press in the curl by pressing down and doing it a few times almost pumping it in a motion of 3 times for each press. Then I apply this mascara and no joke they almost touch my eyebrows mind you I have very short blonde lashes that stick straight out. This definitely has to be the best or atleast one of the best mascaras for the bottom lashes, usually whatever I use on my top lashes doesn't Apply that good to the bottom but this gives those tiny bottom hairs great coverage and does it so quick. I wouldn't say it's much in the volume department but just having longer lashes that are nicely separated makes them look so much better for such a great price. Also keep in mind this week isn't one that really looks great for applying multiple costs but if you cover then nicely the first time you'll be golden and it's definitely not hard to do with this this formula. Sorry I didn't have a close up of when I first did them but one last note is if you have a small fan then just hold them with your finger to really dry that coat on after first applying. This isn't exactly necessary because it works great on it's own but sometimes they can fall slightly due to using the lash curler.

This mascara formula is great, it’s workable and buildable while wet and then sets with a rubbery finish when dry. I’ve found it’s best to layer it while it is still wet to avoid my lashes clumping together. Definitely a bit of a learning curve avoiding clumps, you have to work quickly if you want to use more than one coat. Once it’s dry you cannot brush it out and apply another coat, it actually just peels off. Still, very long lasting with no fallout or transferring. However, I *HATE* the brush/wand that it comes with. The bristles are very short and it’s perfectly straight so it’s a pain to get even coverage on all of my lashes. I’ve actually abandoned the wand it came with and replaced it with a wand from a lash paradise mascara that happens to fit perfectly in this tube. I highly recommend keeping your favorite mascara wands, washing them and using those with this mascara.

I have very sensitive eyes. I have been looking for a mascara that doesn't make my eyes burn. Someone suggested this elf rubbing mascara. I used it twice. So far I really like it. I washes off easily. It doesnt make my eyes burn. At first I was nervous to ise it because it has a strong smell. It goes on smooth, doesnt take a whole lot to get my desired look. It doesnt clump. The wand is a little sharp it feels a bit rough when putting on the mascara. I wore it yesterday & forgot to wash off last night. My eyes are a little itchy, nothing like i experienced with other mascara even the one I tried for sensitive eyes, & its not smeared all over my eyes either. I will be more diligent about washing it off at night. That being said I am very happy with this product. Also the price is great for the quality.

This is my favorite mascara. It’s a great value. I’ve never had an issue with it flaking or smudging. It makes my lashes look noticeably longer and more full. At the end of the day it removes easily with a make up remover wipe. This is a product I order regularly. I’ve tried over the counter mascara, department store and MLM mascara. This is the best so far, especially considering how inexpensive it is.

I really like this mascara and honestly think it’s an amazing value for the price. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t clump, and makes my lashes look soft and natural while still adding noticeable length. I’ve purchased it twice now in two different colors, and I’ve been very happy with both. In the past, I’ve bought much more expensive mascaras like MAC Cosmetics and Thrive Causemetics, and this one performs just as well for a fraction of the cost. It lasts all day without smudging or flaking, and I never end up with the “raccoon eyes” that can happen with some cheaper mascaras. For the quality, wear time, and price, I really can’t ask for more. I highly recommend this mascara and will definitely continue purchasing it again in the future.
