e.l.f. Lash Extending Mascara – is it any good?

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?

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!
