I love elf, but this was not a good product. It dried out and clumped pretty fast, and clumps and dries weird on the lashes. It doesnt lengthen or give volume to your lashes at all.

Eh, just hated it. Flakes, no lasting power, kills curls, doesn't go on smooth, packaging was okay, color was dark and it never set.

Not a worthy choice in E.L.F. or other lower-cost cosmetics. NYX, essence and Wet n Wild make better choices.

I'm not averse to 'wetter' formulations of mascara, but this seemed little more than black-coloured water. Zero volume, zero length. Too much of an au naturel look with one coat, but clumpy and unworkable when extra coats are added. Also, I found the applicator hard and uncomfortable when trying to work product into the lash roots, and the inevitable smudges on my lids that followed weren't the easiest to remove.

This great for everyday at school for a natural look, but if you want dramatic, look elsewhere.

Hmm, wanted to love this because I love ELF... but this just doesn't do it for me. It lengthens decently enough, but adds zero volume/thickness to my lashes. It's also a very watery mascara. Maybe I got a bad batch? If you want a very cheap mascara that adds an okay amount of length and doesn't clump, this is decent. Not amazing, not horrible..

PROS:
Lengthens
Stays put, doesn't smear
Not clumpy

CONS:
No volume/thickening (big problem for me)
Watery

Personally wouldn't buy again.

I bought this because elf does have a few good products like brushes and primer but this wasn't one of them. You definitely get what you pay for with this. This is something a parent would buy a child when they first want to wear makeup. That's what it reminded me of... Play makeup. All it did was make my lashes black and clumpy. Also was also really hard to remove. 👎 continued >>

I seem to get in a mascara rut from time to time. I find one I like, I use it up, and then even if it's great, I want something new. This was the case that lead me to purchase this mascara. I found it at Target for $3 - no loss, but a great gain. I love this mascara. (Fleeting or not, I'll use this one up and quite possibly repurchase!) It's from the Studio line, so the packaging is basic, black, and kinda strange for a mascara, as the wand is short but it's attached to a much longer, squared off "handle." That's the only reason this mascara isn't a five-for-five. The handle is difficult to rotate, but otherwise, it'll do. The brush is one of the old-school spiral bristle wands that I enjoy. After applying, I get just enough length, just enough volume to not be a spider-lash looking thing. It gives a gorgeous light doll-lash look that's great for day-time but with a second coat, I'm ready for a smokey eye. Wear is nice, too, no flaking through the humidity, no running. I don't know how well it stands up to water, but sweat and smoke are no match. I plan on enjoying the rest of the mascara and buying it again (lest I fall into another rut, hopefully not!) For the price, it's a killer mascara.

I love mascaras, I am always on the hunt for a better one. This ELF lengthening and volumizing mascara just wasn't it. The brush was too stiff for me and hurts my eyes when I apply it (I DO have sensitive eyes.) It also did not do much lengthening or volumizing to my lashes. It just basically coated them in black. I did not have trouble with this mascara clumping or flaking too much. For only $3 this mascara is very reasonable. Yet, I have tried better mascaras for less then $3 (NYC.) I do like the packaging. I think it is clean lined and I like that its not a neon color like other mascaras. This product is also very hard to take off, which annoys me because I don't like standing in front of my mirror for 10 minutes rubbing my mascara off with make up remover. I would most likely not repurchase this mascara.

I recently received this as part of a limited edition "Get the Look" - Day to Night collection.

I love the packaging it is very sleek, the handle is nice and long and fits nicely in your hand for ease of application.

The brush is great and gets into all the little lashes, lifts and separates each lash with no clumping.

The mascara is a little wet for my liking and takes a while to dry so be aware of that before you close your eyes and leave feathering all over your eye area. There was no clumping and my lashes remained soft and flexible as I like.

Its an OK mascara, I don't find that it lengthens or volumises any of my lashes as claimed. It didn't do anything for my lashes really.

It does stay put and I didn't notice any flaking.

I will use what I have as an everyday mascara but I would not repurchase.

I will clean and keep the brush though it is excellent.
