e.l.f. Cosmetics Lash Extending Mascara

When purchasing, I assumed the difference between the mascaras was just the wand, and that all of the formulas were the same. I was wrong. What the description doesn't tell you is that this mascara has those little hair-like fibers in it that help you build your lash length. It didnt do much to give me volume or give the appearance that my lashes were thicker, but they really made them long, while still pretty natural-looking. The amount of product on the brush was good and I was able to control how much product I applied by the way I pulled the wand out of the tube. I will say that this mascara does leave a stamp on your eyelids if it gets wet, which I would assume means it is not waterproof, but it does take a little more time to remove than a regular mascara. It removes like a waterproof mascara. But for 3 dollars, this doesn't phase me. I personally loved the look I achieved with this mascara, but I knew that it would not be for everyone. A lot of people get frustrated with products like this, give up, and write an angry review just because its different from anything they've used before and don't exactly know how the proper way to use it. But the way you apply it is KEY. Anyone can have bomb lashes with this mascara, as long as you apply it the right way. It makes a difference if you use lash primer before the mascara, or if you use a different mascara to give them a base coat to help keep the fibers from clumping. Applying slowly and in back and forth motions will give you the lashes you're looking for with this mascara and the results are beautiful. I highly recommend giving this one a chance! You'd be missing out for this price.

I. Love. This. This is my 2nd ELF mascara and my first time using this particular one. The wand does exactly what it says - lengthens and my lashes come out thinly coated, separated, and not clumpy. I definitely recommend two coats for full effect. So happy with this product.
