   It’s clumpy, sticky, and irritates my eyes. It doesn’t really last that great due to my oily eyes. The pluses are that it’s cheap and quite natural looking which I like. Another negative is that I can’t get it to fully close so I probably should throw it out soon.

   It is indeed waterproof, but does come off relatively easily with remover wipes. I have average length, sparse lashes. I could see where thicker lashes could become a bit clumpy, though.

   It comes with a straight wand a little on the short side with relatively wide gaps between bristle rows.

   HATED IT. It did nothing for me. It flaked like crazy. It made my lashes look spidery. I bought it out of desperation when I had no mascara. Would rather go without mascara *GASP* than use this.

   I’ve recently been trying out waterproof mascaras, as I had previously shunned them with no real reason for doing so. Nevertheless, I like to try high end products as well as the low end products to get a feel for what I can expect overall. So I recently tried ELF’s Waterproof Studio Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara and was thoroughly impressed. It’s usually hit or miss with ELF in my opinion.

   Here’s the Highlights:

   * Fluffy brush that grabs and coats my lashes from root to tip (that’s important when your lashes are naturally blonde!)
   * Viscous formula that evenly coats and doesn’t clump
   * Doesn’t require numerous coats to get good results
   * Waterproof
   * No fallout or flaking
   * Great price
   * Sleek, slender packaging
   * Removes easily with cold cream or eye makeup remover

   While they are few here are some of the downsides:
   * Doesn’t volumize very much
   * Doesn’t hold curl well

   For the price it’s worth a shot, and for me it was a good entry level waterproof mascara. I’ll definitely keep it around!

   1st off I must say cute unique packaging! It does not look like ur getting a lot of product (reminder: USD$3!!) but I never use up my mascaras within 3-4 mos. like when ur sup to toss them so this does not bother me. I love the long handle, it’s really easy to use but isn’t really travel friendly coz it takes up so much room like for a purse. Now to the stuff inside: Mine is Black. It’s semi-matte & gives awesome length & pretty darn good curl! I use a sephora travel eyelash curler after I’ve applied this mascara & let it dry somewhat. It dries fairly quickly. This may not give you Younique fiber lash results but this (and elf’s clear mascara/brow duo) are my HG mascaras! it’s very waterproof but easily removed with makeup wipes (I use Estée Lauder or elf ones). You won’t look like ur wearing falsies but this is a good every day work horse mascara u can depend on. It does not flake or give me pandas. It may be available at target or other stores but I got mine from elf’s website. It isn’t too wet but it’s not dried out neither. I can def see myself repurchasing this or else the dual ended waterproof/non waterproof from elf for a buck to compare $3 vs. $1 I mean if you save $2 bucks well $2 bucks is $2 bucks saved every little bit helps hey u can buy 2 other elf products w ur $2 bucks lol I am on a very tight beauty budget so I appreciate elf being a cruelty-free brand offering good quality makeup i can actually afford. This brand is esp good if your on pension/very tight budget/allowance, tween, or just starting out (seeing what works for u w/o spending a ton). I’m disabled so i don’t have a lot of money esp to waste on products that won’t work for me, plus they got a gr8 (as in very addictive!) website shipping is free over $35 sometimes u can get a code for $25 free shipping but on that site I can do a lot with $35 just watch me! Also they take paypal which is super kewlies. My old HG mascara used to be LA Colors HD Waterproof mascara but move over LA for elf!! This mascara is the bomb & evthing I want in a mascara n I’ve tried HE mascara (Better Than Sex; benefit; clinique; Estée Lauder; all kinda DS brands as well ur run of the mill Maybelline et al.). I’ve had a lot of experiences w diff products to compare coz I am a product junkie always on to the next latest greatest thing (I rarely rebuy unless it’s back ups of something I adore!), I would rebuy this & highly recommend it. Idk if it comes in any other colors but Black is available. I would not buy a bunch of backups thou of this coz I would be concerned of it drying out b4 I got around to using it just a word of caution. 🙂 u need this!!! 🙂

   This is my new HG mascara! I am glad I gave this $3.00 cheapie a try. My lashes are stubby and only moderately full. With this mascara I can actually see my lashes after I apply eye-shadow and liner. It really gave me some length and volume. It apples nicely without clumping and there was no streaking, flaking or transfer. The consistency of the mascara is just right, not too wet or too dry. The color is a nice black, but not too harsh. One coat works well but for me two coats is better. It leaves my lashes natural feeling and not stiff like so many mascaras. The brush is small and slightly curved allowing it to catch all the shorter and finer lashes. I love the fact that the applicator has a long handle. I always wear waterproof as it holds the curl better for me. Removes easily with makeup remover designed for waterproof products. I will definitely continue to use and purchase again.

   They stopped making the mascara I liked so I used all different kinds trying to find another HG product. I like waterproof and black. Some of the newer mascaras either don’t give me any length or clump… so I figured for the price I’d throw it in the cart at the grocery store. I have to say.. I love it.. I like that it makes my lashes look longer and holds nicely all day long. I wear contacts so I need that waterproof factor as I often need to put drops in my eyes or remove a lens and put it back in my eye. I may pick up another tube just to be sure I don’t run out. I also like the brush itself.. not too big or a weird shape.. Just a nice brush.

   I have a few other products from E.L.F. and for the most part like them , but this one I LOVE!

   I have not found any mascara that works as well for me. I need something waterproof, since I have to use drops for dry eye during the day and take my kids swimming often. It really does not move, other brands that have gotten rave reviews give me big black rings in no time.
   I have very pale lashes, it lengthens and defines very well. I am definitely looking for length over volume but I feel this gives both. The effect is natural but dramatic on me, of course I am super fair so it might be different on someone else.
   The only downside is that it is so hard to remove-but that is a small trade off for not having smudges all over my face. I have tried other stuff and always end up coming back to this.

   I wear waterproof eye makeup on a daily basis, as it lasts better, and I don’t have to worry about panda eyes -especially handy when cycling in all weather.
   This fantastic little bargain buy suits me perfectly for work – a nice non- clumping product which gives my eyelashes colour and definition, without looking like I have overdone the slap. I quickly curl my lashes first, and one quick coat is enough, top lashes only with a little extra to fill out the edges.
   No flakes or gloopiness. Perfect!

    I like the packaging of this mascara, but when I used it for the first time I wasn’t very impressed. It doesn’t lengthen or volumize at all, my lashes were just black and droopy after I applied it. Fortunately I got this in a cheap set, on sale, with an eyeliner pen and a lash curler (both of which I love) so I am not too upset about it.

    I don’t recommend this product at all.
