I know singular product reviews are "sooo early 2010s", but I have come to realize that for my own personal organization purposes, I love having one post dedicated to a product that we can do a deep dive on. From an SEO perspective, of course the singular product review works best and that's actually how I personally still search for product reviews. If anything, I wish there were more product reviews that were written so that I don't have to contend with going on Instagram and having to watch a reel! Basically, I am doing these singular product reviews for people like me!

I was going to give the ELF Lash XTNDR Masacara away because I thought it was just another generic drugstore mascara, but then I saw the word "tubing". I have not used a tubing mascara since Blinc and though I have been loving my Louboutin mascara, it does take some effort to take off with makeup remover. I started reminiscing how it easy it was to wash off the Blinc mascara with just water and the satisfaction of seeing the little "tubes" come off. This led to me looking at reviews of this mascara, specifically for Asian lashes which led me to Mae Sitler's review which sold me on the mascara!
This is a "pitch black mascara that uses lightweight, buildable tubing technology to give the look of lash extensions". The formula contains 5% jojoba oil to nourish lashes while the flexible, tapered, silicone brush allows the formula to coat each lash individually. This promises to be a clump, smudge and flake-free mascara that is easily removed with warm water.
Starting with bare lashes, I don't have a lot going on so I do need to be careful as my concern is always a wet formula that weighs my lashes down or makes them clump together so that it looks like I have 3 three lashes!
And ta da! Here we are with Last XTNDR! No, this mascara will not replace me Falscara lashes, but I am actually kind of pleased with the blackness and the definition my lashes received!
I love that the brush is thin and easy to maneuver as I hate big conical brushes where I cannot see my eye! I was scared that this mascara would flake and smudge during my work day, but it did not! I don't even need to wear my Diorshow Lash Primer Serum for it to stay on all day!
Final verdict: Obviously the price is fantastic compared to other tubing mascaras which all start at $30 CDN vs this one which is $10! Maybe I'll try another "high end" tubing mascara like Tarte, Merit or Caliray for experimental purposes, but for now this one from E.L.F. will do!
You can find the E.L.F. Cosmetics Lash XTNDR Mascara at local drugstores across Canada.
