e.l.f Lengthening and Defining Mascara Review

As seems usual with me when doing an iherb order I always have a quick look around the elf section. The makeup is just so cheap! I love trying new things so a couple of dollars here and there for the chance to find an awesome product isn't that bad! It is like the makeup lovers gambling.

The packaging of this mascara is lovely. Super nice for travelling as it is long and thin. The tube is just round and shiny black plastic. The name is in silver on the side but I'm sure that will rub off with a few uses, but that is no big deal for me.

The wand is fibres in a swirl. Not great for adding volume, but this doesn't advertise itself on that. The formula is incredibly thick and dry. This does what it says in the defining feature. It separated my lashes nicely, but the formula isn't particularly black so they just look extremely natural. As for lengthening... not really. This mascara creates incredibly natural lashes, to the degree where you wonder why you are wearing mascara at all. This wears all day and does smudge a wee bit by the end of the day, but is easy to remove.

Really this mascara doesn't do much for me at all. It may be cheap, but it doesn't do much for even the little amount of money you spend on it.

This was cheap at the warehouse ($3) so I thought it was worth a try, Unfortunately I'm not in love. It didnt stick to my lashes at all, and within an hour or so was on my face. It was also a bit clumpy to apply. I will not be using it again

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 :)

I purchased this product along with many other e.l.f products from iherb.com. It was only $3 which is the standard price on that website.

I found the mascara bottle to be slightly smaller than most mascaras but that's okay considering the low price. It has a typical size applicator wand.

I am a huge fan of e.l.f products and own many but sadly this particular product is not going to get the same raving review from me. I found the consistency to be very dry and hard to apply, even after attempting to reapplying numerous times, I found it to not 'stick' to my lashes due to it being too dry to apply. Needless to say that I gave up and have not brought this again.

I personally wouldn't recommend the mascara but if you go through my other e.l.f reviews, I defiantly would recommend their other products.

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.

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!

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.
