e.l.f. Lash XTNDR is a tubing mascara designed to mimic the look of lash extensions without the commitment. The formula uses tubing technology, which wraps around each lash rather than coating it, delivering lengthening and defining effects. The brush is optimized for separation and extension. Clump- and flake-free by design, it's washable (rinses cleanly with warm water) and appeals to lash-extension enthusiasts seeking a vegan, cruelty-free alternative. Best for everyday wear and those with sensitive eyes or a preference for clean removal. Wear time is solid through a standard day; not waterproof.
