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 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.

I am not a morning person, but have to be at work at 7:00 am. I don't use a lot of makeup, but mascara is one of the two things I never go without. I have been having trouble even with some of my go-to brands this spring, with the mascara not staying put in the humidity. I read a review about this mascara and decided to give it a go. I love it! The "tubing" effect gives me noticeable, lovely lashes, and it stays put all day. However, it is by far the easiest I have used in years to get rid of when it's time. One swipe with a cleansing wipes seems to get all the little tubes off - I no longer wake up with residual raccoon eyes even after cleansing at night.

This product flakes a tiny bit shortly after you apply it. After that, it basically doesn't flake. It's the least flaky mascara I've ever tried (and I have tried several) and it does not smudge. If I'm in a rush I can even get away with not powdering my undereyes and it's still ok. With other mascaras, even the one I use daily and love, there is no way I can skip powder. I can even do bottom mascara with this no problem.BUT you have to apply it right to prevent flaking. This applies differently than a regular mascara. You have to work faster than fast because it dries very quickly. Finish one eye completely before moving on to the other because you can't touch it up later. It's not a good idea to try to do multiple coats, because the coat you're applying may start peeling up/removing the coat beneath it. It also tends to look more spidery the more you apply. Just apply one really good coat and be done. The thicker you try to build up the product, the more flaking you'll get on the undereyes later. It just wants to be a 1-coat, minimal mascara.This mascara doesn't make your lashes super thick and voluminous, partly because you can't build it up, as I mentioned. Just accept your lashes will look very natural. I'm a brunette and most brown mascaras still have a lot of "oomph" on me. I wish I had gotten the black shade of this instead of brown, because again-- it just doesn't have much impact.I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I get a lot of lashes falling off when I remove it. I'm concerned the alcohol is drying out my lashes too. So I only use it every now and then.Overall, this is my HG when I need a mascara that will not smudge no matter what. It also is a good choice if you're looking for very natural, gen Z, not clumpy/flaky lashes.

So glad I heard about this in a segment on the Today Show! It really is amazing! Regular conditioning mascara took several coats to look like I had it on. Starts going on well from the first time you take the flexible brush wand out of the tube and doesn’t clump! My lashes are so thin it looks like I don’t even have any without mascara. It doesn’t smudge easily and I just take it off with soap and water, but I’m sure a makeup wipe would be much better. It stays on all day, Don’t judge me by my before and after pics. I have puffy eyes in the morning, lol.

I love the mascara itself but the ring on the inside of the tube came off after a few weeks so it doesn't "skim" the mascara from the wand before applying. You're left trying to scrape off half the mascara on the rim and it leaves a mess. I loved the formula, though, and bought it again. The same thing happened again after a few weeks!!
