e.l.f. Lash XTNDR Mascara, Soft Black

I have spent hundreds of dollars in recent years trying to find a good mascara. In desperation I tried this one. I figured for such a low price it's probably no good, but it can't hurt to try. Being completely honest, it does flake, slightly, but nowhere nearly as much as the more expensive brands I've tried. Otherwise it is perfect. It lengthens nicely, separates lashes, doesn't clump, not one little clump and stays looking nice all day. It washes off with warm water and a wash cloth. And it is a price that I am more than happy to pay!

This tubing mascara is really nice, especially for the price. I've used Thrive before, and this may be a bit of a knock-off for Thrive, but I actually seem to like the e.l.f. one better. It applies with the right amount of wetness and washes off with ease. No smell, no running, smearing, flaking...a great mascara for me!

I’ve tried so many mascaras, and this one is easily my favorite. It gives my lashes great length and definition without making them look super clumpy or heavy. I love that it gives that longer, more separated lash look while still looking natural.It also wears really well throughout the day, and I don’t feel like I’m constantly checking for smudging or flakes.I honestly keep coming back to this one because it just works. Definitely 5 stars from me and one of my favorite mascaras I’ve used!

I’m in the process of testing out multiple mascaras to find one that fits my face and a natural look. I ended up getting soft black and I think it turned out pretty well. It dries slower than most tubing mascara which I liked because I was able to use my comb and separate a few lashes. It was easy to apply and the brush was great, I didn’t find it messy. The pic is at the end of the day. It stayed on well but if you get any sort of water, Delaware, or tears, you will get little pieces of black polymer under your eyes. I found it really easy to remove by rinsing gently with warm water only. I’d probably do a brown in the future for a more natural look, but this one would be night time for me. It’s a good deal! Comparable to high end and did not irritate my eyes. Before and after pic for reference

GREAT mascara. I couldn’t wear regular mascara without looking like a raccoon at the end of the day, no mater what I did. Tried at least 20 brands/references, sealing, powdering; all of it.I decided I needed to move to tube mascara but wasn’t sure which. Based on the reviews I bought this one and the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Tubing Mascara and to keep it short BUY this ELF one. The other one did smudge while the ELF lasted ALL DAY without running. Love it and will forever stick to this one.PS: I’ve also learned from these two that tubing mascara doesn’t elongate lashes like regular mascaras, I believe in part because of the brush they use. So if you seek show stopping length and fullness, tube mascara is not for you. Id go for it more for the smudge resistance.

This mascara formula is great, it’s workable and buildable while wet and then sets with a rubbery finish when dry. I’ve found it’s best to layer it while it is still wet to avoid my lashes clumping together. Definitely a bit of a learning curve avoiding clumps, you have to work quickly if you want to use more than one coat. Once it’s dry you cannot brush it out and apply another coat, it actually just peels off. Still, very long lasting with no fallout or transferring. However, I *HATE* the brush/wand that it comes with. The bristles are very short and it’s perfectly straight so it’s a pain to get even coverage on all of my lashes. I’ve actually abandoned the wand it came with and replaced it with a wand from a lash paradise mascara that happens to fit perfectly in this tube. I highly recommend keeping your favorite mascara wands, washing them and using those with this mascara.

Surprisingly good. It lengthens my lashes and the best part is that it’s easy to remove. It doesn’t smear under my eyes, which are somewhat oily. Great find for an inexpensive mascara.

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.

I can't rate this mascara more highly. :)I have a tendency toward extreme smudging with mascara so when I saw that this is a 'tubing' formula, I was excited to give it a try. I have zero regrets!With the tubing formula, the mascara coats your lashes in tiny tubes rather than actual pigment as regular mascaras would do. As a result, if I have hayfever and my eyes water (or it's a sad occasion), I can simply dab away away tubing that flakes off, no smudging at all.I'd also like to comment on just how long my lashes look when using this. While my lashes are naturally long, this mascara looks far better than false lashes for the sheer amount of intensity, volume and length it creates. I can't recommend this highly enough. :)

Ik vond het erg mooi, ik ben er erg van onder de indruk.

No ha habido mascara que me sirva, siempre terminaba como oso panda después de algunas horas de haberme maquillado, pero este tipo de máscara me funcionó increíble.

This has quickly become one of my favorite mascaras—I’ll definitely be repurchasing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great lashes at a budget-friendly price! 💖

Erfüllt genau die Versprechungen, die der vielgehypte Maybelline Sky High Mascara verspricht, aber nicht hält. Beide Mascaras funktionieren mit der Tubing-Technologie, während dieser hier im Vergleich zum Sky High ein festes Bürstchen hat, mit dem man die Wimpern schön gezielt modellieren kann. So einen reinen marketing-wirksamen Quatsch wie dieses flexible Bürstchen vom Sky High hat dieser Mascara hier überhaupt gar nicht nötig, denn das Ergebnis überzeugt ganz einfach! In knapp 5 min. morgens in 2 - 3 Schichten Wimpern, die WIRKLICH wie Lash Extensions aussehen! Die 3. Schicht brauche ich auch eigentlich nur, um manche der Spitzen noch mal gezielt nachzumodellieren, um dem ganzen noch mal eine Schippe draufzuhauen. Das Ergebnis sieht laaaang, geschwungen, aufgeräumt und gepflegt aus und es übersteht auch mal ein längeres Nickerchen sehr gut! Kein Bröckeln und Verschmieren und abends sieht's noch aus wie frisch getuscht. Dazu das leichte und wimpernschonende Entfernen mit nur etwas warmem Wasser! Perfekt!Als weiteren Vergleich habe ich noch die Catrice Glam & Doll Easy Wash Off probiert. Das Auftragen ist ebenso leicht und schnell gemacht, allerdings reicht mir persönlich das Ergebnis nicht aus. Im Vergleich zur Elf Lash Xtndtr ist es deutlich weniger intensiv - die Wimpern sehen extrem natürlich aus, so als wären sie gar nicht getuscht - selbst nach mehreren Schichten. Man kann einfach keine Intensität damit aufbauen! Mag ich persönlich nicht so. Deshalb: Elf Lash Xtndtr rules 😁
