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.

When I first started using this product I absolutely loved using it - first of all, most mascaras start irritating my skin about half way through the day and the inner corner of my eye gets really itchy - so this was the first mascara to not irritate my skin one bit. I was thrilled to finally find one that didn't irritate.

I also found that it did last all day and did lengthen my eyelashes.

But I was so disappointed after using it for just over a week it was sooo clumpy, it was unwearable. The end piece of the wand formed into a big clump of mascara and I needed to scrape it against the edge of the mascara tube.

Wouldn't buy again due to the clumpiness.

I thought this mascara was good for the price i have paid for. This mascara definitely does lengthen your lashes and it does make it look fuller. I must say this mascara is a real pain to remove though. Overall this product was okay. I didn't love it but the i didn't hate it.

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.

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 got this mascara in an e.l.f eye pack, so it was very cheap and I was pleased to have an extra mascara just as my main one ran out. In terms of lengthening and defining, it definitely did lengthen my eyelashes, and defined them really well as the colour is very dark, unfortunately the other features of this product let it down. If you apply more than one or two layers, it starts clumping very badly, and tends to make my outer lashes stick to eachother. It's not waterproof either, so you have to be careful to let it dry otherwise it does bleed quite badly. I wouldn't buy it again, but in terms of having an extra mascara as backup, its not too bad, and I definitely use it still, even though its not as reliable as others brands. If you're looking for something cheap, that will do the trick however, go for it! You just need to be careful with application :)

This mascara does exactly what it says: define and lengthens. It defiantly makes your lashes look longer. For me personally it doesn't give my lashes enough volume or depth, but that isn't what this mascara is designed to do. I would definitely wear this mascara for a more natural look during the day or on weekends.

I like the how the size of the brush is not too big and oversized, as it allows you to coat every single lash and get right into the inner corner of your lash line without smudging mascara on your eyelid.

The formula is nice and smooth, doesn't clump. I like how it separates your lashes so you can see almost every individual lash. The mascara tube is pretty standard, nothing special. The tube is plain black, a slim cylinder shape, which is a little bit smaller than my usual falsies mascara tube so is easier to carry around in your bag.

Overall this mascara is pretty good, it really does lengthen your lashes. Fr the price it s very good value.

This mascara creates a really natural look and doesn't make my eyelashes clumpy or anything. I also like the fact that the mascara tube itself it quite thin making it easier to carry around etc It is also really easy to apply and comes off easily too. Im really happy that i purchased this item!
