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

I've been a fan of tubing mascara for more years than I'd like to count. I used Blinc for years. I liked that it did not irritate my eyes, stayed on all day, didn't flake, smudge, or run with rain or tears, and removed easily with warm water. But it didn't give any volume or length, even with their primer, and was expensive. When it came out, I switched to L'Oreal Double Extend Tubing mascara. It was half the price of Blinc, performed the same way, and the primer gave a little more volume if I applied enough coats. I would not have looked for another mascara if the L'Oreal had come in brown.Recently, I tried several brown tubing mascaras—this e.l.f. Lash XTNDR Mascara is far superior. The color is a perfect chocolate brown; it lifts, separates, lengthens, curls, adds volume, and does not flake, smudge, or run. The look I get with only two coats is similar to the fluttery, false lash effect I got with essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara Waterproof, which I wished had worked. Still, it is not tubing, irritated my eyes, smudged, and was impossible to remove.The tubes with Lash XTNDR are smaller and thinner than the tubes with Blinc or L'Oreal mascaras. They don't slide off as easily with warm water but using a wet face cloth does the trick, no makeup remover required. I once went to sleep wearing it, it still looked perfect in the morning, even though I had applied eye cream before bed.Finally, the price of Lash XTNDR on subscription is awesome. Holy grail product for sure.

Oh my gosh! I've used every mascara there is, including the popular Thrive and Prime. After I read a review somewhere that someone compared them and that this mascara was just as good and what a great price....I decided to try it. I am blown away. It's still a tubular mascara. It still has clean ingredients. It still has the color brown that I use. My eyelashes look great! And the price! It is a winner for me. No caking, no smudging, no clumping,, no flaking. I'm sold!

I found that this mascara looked really nice and felt very light on my eye. And the price is great! Additionally, it's very true about how easy it is to take off - just water will do it! However, I started noticing that I had some eye irritation after a few days of use (of course with taking off the mascara at night and re-applying on a clean face/lashes in the morning). I feel like the formula is nice and lightweight and not clumpy, but about 6 hours into wearing will start flaking into and under my eyes. This isn't so bad when I'm just out and about doing things, but I found it was very prevalent and annoying while I would be performing or in rehearsals, since I can't be touching my face all the time whIle I'm playing my instrument.

I was using the 💙Elf tubing mascara in black, I'd just opened it, getting ready like I always do in the morning. 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 an greatlook. I think it also comes in blue but brown will be my color from now on. 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 does flake a little. Ladies, you have to try Elf Tubing or Xtnder- 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 a fat mascara. The applicator wand delivers the mascara to each lash & so good to layers. 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 I have to use a large safety pin 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." 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 $28 on a mascara when you can get 💙 Elf Tubing mascara is $7 & the best price here on Amazon. You can get both here & go ahead & try "Prime" just for yourself & you'll see that they're almost identical, the brush & mascara. I'm so glad I got this mascara, I've used this Elf Tubing mascara for a cpl months& love it 🌹 So now, I have both, Elf & Prime & I also love the Prime brand. 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 $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. 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.
