For me, that is far too often the reality.

All I want is a mascara with staying power that can give me the lift and length I need.

So, I decided to put fivee.l.f.

cosmeticsmascaras to the test.

But which ones actually deliver?

Fast forward to 8:30 p.m., and the length and lift were still intact.

For a mascara that promises lengthening and definition, it was basically perfect.

The removal was quick and easy as well.

Off to a great start with e.l.f.

Lash ‘N Roll

Lash ‘N Roll’s curling and lifting claims immediately caught my attention.

By midday, my lashes still looked put together, although the curl was more pronounced than the lift.

Big Mood

I was genuinely excited to try the Big Mood Mascara.

One coat looked amazing, with no need for a second!

When it came time to take it off, I just used a makeup remover balm.

All in all, this has quickly become my favorite mascara!

Lash It Loud

Lash It Loud is specifically designed for volume and definition.

When I applied it I experienced a little smudging, but no clumping.

Still, Lash It Loud was easy to layer and provided impressive results that lasted for hours.

Similar to the original Lash It Loud mascara, the waterproof version provides major volume and definition.

To truly test its waterproof capabilities, I wore it to a HIIT class and watched a sad movie.

Overall, it held up well, and I didn’t look like a raccoon.

My lashes maintained some lift and volume throughout the workout and movie.

The removal process took a while, which is expected with a waterproof mascara.

For just $6, I can definitely see myself reaching for it, despite that minor smudge.
