In July I shared my first impressions of e.l.f. Lash Extending Mascara. You might remember that at that point I wasn´t very impressed by this mascara, because it only added some length to my lashes. I usually never give up on mascaras after first uses and so I used this one for weeks hoping I´ll achieve the promised result ….. So did I? Read on …
Juulis jagasin ühes meigipostituses teiega enda esmamuljeid e.l.f.´i Lash Extenging ripsmetušist. Ehk mäletate, et tol hetkel ma sellest ripsmekast eriti vaimustuses ei olnud, kuna see lisas mu ripsmtele vaid veidi pikkust ja sellega ma rahul ei olnud. Tavaliselt ma ripsmekate puhul peale paari esimest kasutuskorda siiski alla ei anna, sest tihti tulevad nende õiged omadused välja alles nädal-kaks hiljem. Nii siis kasutasin ka seda ripsmekat nädalaid lootuses lõpuks saavutada pakendil lubatud tulemus ….. Kas see õnnestus? Loe edasi …
e.l.f. Lash Extending Mascara is promised to instantly give longer and fuller lashes with a rich curl for ultimate definition. This mascara is infused with fiber that help to give lashes maximum extension for a lengthened look, while the ingredient rich formula with Vitamin B & E, Wheat Protein and Panthenol condition and enhance lashes. Sounds great?
e.l.f. Lash Extending ripsmetušš peaks lubaduste kohaselt koheselt andma pikemad ja paksemad kaardus ripsmed. Seda ripsmekat on rikastatud kiududega, et anda ripsmetele maksimaalne pikkus. Samas sisaldab e.l.f. Lash Extending ripsmetušš B ja E vitamiini, nisu proteiini ning pantenooli, et ripsmeid toita. Kõlab hästi?
On my lashes it looks like this / Minu ripsmetel näeb see välja selline
My opinion
I had high hopes on this mascara because on e.l.f. UK website it had 5-star rating and raving comments. When I first opened this mascara than my hopes got even higher because its flexible rubber wand with longer bristles on one side and shorter ones on the other looked really promising. And I really liked how it nicely separated my lashes. And well that´s about all I like about this mascara.
As you can see it does add some length to my lashes and that´s pretty much it! There is no fulness or thickness. Yeah it adds some color too my lashes, but that´s just not enough! I usually have to apply at least 3 coats of mascara to get any result and then my lashes start become hard to comb through and it´s just a big mess. Plus this mascara takes quite a long time to dry on lashes and if the weather is humid then it will start smearing.
Overall I´m not loving this mascara, because in my opinion it just doesn´t live up to its promises. Would I purchase it again? NO NO NOOOOO!
Minu arvamus
Minu ootused selle ripsmetušile olid kõrged, sest e.l.f.´i UK lehel oli sellel 5 tärni hinne ning kiitvad kommentaarid. Kui ma selle ripsmeka esimest korda avasin, siis ausalt öeldes mu lootused kasvasid veelgi, sest selle painduv harjake, mille ühel küljel pikad ja teisel lühikesed harjased lihtsalt nägi palju lubav välja ning sellega tušši ripsmetele kandes see tõesti eraldas ripsmeid kenasti. Ja kahjuks sellega ka lõpevad selle ripsmeka positiivsed küljed.
Nagu isegi näete, siis pikkust see veidi küll lisab mu ripsmetele, ent mingit volüümi küll näha pole. OK värvi lisab ka, aga see pole kahjuks piisav! Tavaliselt pean ma vähemalt 3 kihti ripsmetušši ripsmetele kandma, et mingitki mind rahuldavat tulemust saada, ent siis hakkavad ripsed kokku kleepuma ja isegi see harjake ei suuda neid lahutada ning tulemuseks on suur jama. Lisaks kuivab see ripsmetušš ripsmetel kaua ning niiske ilmaga hakkabb tagatipuks ka määrima.
Kokkuvõttes olen selle ripsmetušis pettunud, sest minu arvates ta lubatut teha ei suuda. Kas ma ostaks seda veel? EI EI EIIIIIII!

e.l.f. ripsmekad on kõik jamad olnud (nagu ka huulepulgad – huulepalsamid on ok).
head on Studio pintslid 🙂
Leelo says
Tore teada, et ma ainus pole kes arvab, et nende ripsmekad jamad on. Huulepulkadest üks niisutav on küll päris hea, aga ma muidugi ei kasuta teda ka igapäevaselt. Huulepalsamid on üldiselt tõesti ok.
spontaneouschick says
I like that it lengthens nut I like mascaras that thicken too.3 coats is too much work for me.
Leelo says
I also want that mascara would lenghten and thicken and this one just ain´t no good.
Brooke Pakulski says
It looks good for an every day mascara at least!
Leelo says
Yes it is ok for everyday mascara.
litfromwithin9 says
3 coats for just a regular look? Ain’t nobody got time for dat! Lol. At least if an ELF product doesn’t work out for you, it’s not a huge investment.
Leelo says
Yeah 3 coats and yes I really don´t have time for that :S
Noelle says
What a bummer!
Phyrra (@Phyrra) says
I’d say it’s still not a bad mascara for the price. I’ve had some $20 mascaras not perform as nicely.
Norah Salazar says
For what it costs, it isn’t bad. And mascaras have such a short shelf life anyway!
Erika says
Think I’ll pass on this one. Thanks for the review.
Jess S. (@loveforlacquer) says
Will pass on this one – Great review!
Kimberly (@libbyspinkvanit) says
Bummer that this one disappointed you.
Miranda says
Sad you didn’t like it!
justina says
That sucks that it smeared on you!
Cindy (Prime Beauty) says
Sometimes paying a little more is worth it!
Kimberly Nissen (@PlasticDiaries) says
I still think you had nice results but at least it wasn’t a huge investment for you to get disappointed over.
makeupbylaurag says
It has been quite some time since I tried an ELF mascara!
fabulouskath says
The results are okay, not outstanding as you said. But I’m more forgiving to cheap products than over-priced under-perfoming brands.
honeygirlsworld says
I really need volume with my mascaras, as well as length, so I know this will not work as well for me… but it’s still a good alternative if you really need mascara I guess.
glamorable says
I almost like it better with just one coat.
Sheila says
Thanks for your honest review – sometimes elf has winners, and sometimes their products just don’t live up to expectations.
Leelo says
Unfortunately yes that´s the way it is. Some of their products are really good and some are just really bad :S
Betzy Carmona (@BetzysMakeup) says
I have tried elf mascaras before but haven’t been impressed.
Stephanie Louise says
Yep! I’d want more thickening!
