e.l.f Lengthening and Defining Mascara Review

Yikes. I usually am not one to write bad reviews, and I feel bad about doing so, but seriously don't bother with this product. I have never had a mascara clump more in my life, it made my eyelashes look cakey and blunt? Throughout the day it would flake off and leave black dots all under my eye. The wand it just an average and kind of spikey and though cheap, there are many other mascaras almost as cheap that are much better. I usually love e.l.f and its value for money, but this mascara is definitely a miss.

It's taken me a while to write this review because I prefer to write more positive reviews. Unfortunately this product didn't lend itself to positivity.

I got this from a well intentioned family member as part of a cosmetic gift hamper. However the product inside was clumpy and pretty much unusable. Out of interest I checked the date on it... and I think it had been sitting on the Kmart shelf for a while.

So I personally would not recommend as it definitely didn't live up to it's claims or even really perform as a mascara.

I love all elf products until i wasted my money on this. There was hardly any product. Its clumpy and barely makes my lashes any different. I took it back to kmart thinking i had brought a faulty one. Apparently not, do not buy :(

I picked this up from Kmart a while ago on holiday, after hearing good things about it from one of my favourite youtubers. It's average for the price, but I wouldn't really recommend it as it doesn't go above and beyond any of my mascaras at a similar price.

This comes in a black plastic tube, basic packaging and what I would expect at a price point of $5. The wand is a basic spiral bristly wand, which isn't my idea wand, however it doesn't do too much of a bad job separating and defining lashes. The formula is not thin or thick, rather average, and I found my mascara didn't dry up fast like a lot of reviews claim. However, I don't get why this is called a lengthening mascara - it only really lengthens my lashes when I layer it up and that causes my lashes to become thick and clumpy. This is a good mascara if you're going for a natural look though, and it lasts an average amount of time with minimal transferring on my oily eyelids.

Overall, I wouldn't really recommend picking this up, despite the cheap price tag you can easily find mascaras for two or three times the price that are miles better. I didn't find it too bad, but it's not impressive either.

I wasnt really a fan of this mascara, as i felt it did not lengthen or define my lashes. the formula was okay but i found that wen i tried to layer it it got quite clumpy and did not look good.

This mascara aren't a good mascara. It doesn't lengthen my eyelashes like it states it would. Though I love elf products this one was a huge miss.

So I bought from the make up sale and it was all gross clumped dry etc maybe mine was expired it was part of a gift pack with eye liner and a water proof felt thing I took it back and got a refund poor quality the packaging is okay but its very skinny not much would be in it the brush was nothing impressive eiher

This was part of an Iherb haul, on the basis that o had been thrilled with all the other elf products I had purchased so why would this be different?? WRONG! The mascara while cheap, is clumpy- difficult to apply and smudges almost instantly. I was disappointed on my first use so this went straight in the bin!

Which is not my idea of how mascara should be It was a small tube that contains very little product the product dispersed thinly so it didn't really seem like I had mascara on i guess I could say it was better than nothing but not something i want to buy again even for the cheap price tag that said i did like the feel of the tube it did not match its cheap price tag with appearance its simple packaging to me felt very classy
