5.0 out of 5 stars This is awesome 👌

I bought the 💙Elf Tubing mascara from a store & saw it on Bolo & 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 Bolo, 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 Bolo 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 Bolo 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 Bolo. 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 Bolo 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.

love this so much, found out my maybelline one had horrific ingredient that are super poisonous or something insane. found this from yuka app suggesting something saferi have short lashes, like i wear faux lashes daily type of short. but this is the longest my lashes have ever looked!!! very build able without getting clumpy.i used to lose lashes sometimes when removing mascara but this fixed it, so easy to remove just with water!my new staple go to mascara, and its under $10??? amazing for the price. can't believe this works better than my other one, costs less, is more easily removed, and is made with safer ingredients? i've been trying to put all my friends onto this10/10 this is the one. you don't need to keep trying expensive mascaras

4.0 out of 5 stars A little flaky

A. · May 8, 2025

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Applies easily with a great brush

K.C. · June 16, 2025

I usually don't write reviews but I felt compelled to do it this time. I'm 73 years old and have bought a lot of mascara in my lifetime and this has to be the best that I have found. So far there is no clumps or chunks on my lashes. It goes on so easy. It also has the best brush that I have ever used. There is no reason to spend a lot of money on a mascara when you can get the look you want with this wonderful product!

3.0 out of 5 stars Lengthens, but irritated my eyes

B.A. · March 6, 2025

I wanted to love this mascara--I usually love ELF products, and I'd always wanted to use a tubing mascara, so this seemed like it was going to be the perfect entry, so to speak.The mascara itself is really nice--a soft, rich black color, not too harsh or stark, and the tubing effect made my straight, average length lashes look so pretty!It was on the second(? Third maybe?) wear that I connected the constant eye irritation and feelings of "there's something in my eyes!" with, "oh yeah, I'm using a new mascara..."! I really *really* didn't want it to be the makeup though--so I took a couple days off ("maybe it's seasonal allergies!"), was fine, then wore it again--and had the irritation and weird, little-bits-of-stuff-in-my-eyes feeling again. So sad!!!I also had a little bit of an issue removing this--I bet it would have been easier/better had I, you know, used an actual makeup remover, or even micellar water!, but I didn't have great success with just a little Castile soap and water. And I highly suggest *not* trying to pick this off like you would regular mascara--you *will* lose eyelashes, but that's not the makeup's fault!Overall a good product, just not a good fit for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty lashes.

C.G. · May 28, 2025

So far so good. I found this brand when I looked up a cheaper alternative to Thrive mascara, which is over 3x the price. I am pleased so far! I don't wear heavy make up at all - in fact, I prefer it look as natural as possible, so I wasn't sure if this would be too much for me. But it's good. It makes my lashes look less clumpy compared to maybeline, etc. and more separated. The only thing that hasn't quite met my expectations is the removal process. Supposedly you don't need eye makeup remover, just warm water with a rag, but I'm not finding it to be quite that simple. It seems to take more effort on my part and more rubbing which irritates my eye area. Not terrible, but not just a clean wipe-off. So for the price, I recommend.

Phenomenal - best mascara I've ever bought

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I've bought so many mascaras over the years - both 'drug store' and designer brands - but this mascara is honestly the best I've ever tried. I cannot believe how inexpensive it is for the quality! Although the design of the packaging/the container is fairly cheap looking and mediocre, the design of the brush and the actual mascara is first-rate. The brush is long and thin. Every single lash is separated and coated, allowing both (extreme) lengthening and gentle curling. It doesn't clump and it looks very natural. Then there is the fact it's a tubing mascara, so it doesn't run or smudge - I'm not sure why, but the moment I turned 40 my mascara started to run and smudge, but this stays put and is easy to remove with a cleansing cloth and water. Finally, and most importantly to me, elf products are all vegan - so completely cruelty-free (and that includes not using ingredients from, or trading with, countries that mandate animal testing). Many beauty brands may be cruelty-free in your own country, but engage in cruel animal testing practices in other countries (such as China), so going for a product labelled as 'vegan' is the only way to be sure. You can rest easy with elf products that you will not be funding animal cruelty. This is the holy grail of mascaras - buy it, you won't regret it.

Ottimo mascara lowcost

M. · May 21, 2025

Sono già al secondo acquisto di questo mascara, mi piace molto perchè allunga ma non appesantisce troppo le ciglia.Non si scioglie come un normale mascare (quindi non sbava) ma si sgretola a contatto con i detergenti e struccanti (io faccio doppia detersione).

Einfach klasse

T.M. · June 18, 2025

Ich habe lange nach einer wimperntusche gesucht, die im Laufe des Tages weder bröckelt noch verwischt und Panda Augen macht. Bei dieser Mascara bin ich nun endlich fündig geworden und bestelle diese regelmäßig.

Very difficult to remove.

Very difficult to remove even with good eye makeup remover.

Great

Finally a mascara that doesn’t smudge
