- Today I'll be testing out the new ELF Lash Xtndr Mascara and comparing it to the Thrive Liquid Lash Extensions. Both are tubing mascara formulas and the brushes are almost identical! I'd love to hear from you down in the comments below!

💖 ABOUT ME:
Hi, my name is Jen I am 44 and live in Connecticut with my husband and 8 year old son. I am a stay-at-home Mom and full-time CZcamsr with a degree in business with a focus in marketing. Before leaving work when my son was born, I was a commercial lender at a bank. I also worked at Sephora and Macy's doing visual merchandising.
I have dry skin with some hyperpigmentation and fine lines. I love natural makeup looks but occasionally go outside my comfort zone a little bit. On my channel you'll find lots of videos about drugstore makeup and drugstore dupes (those are my favorites to film!) but I also review high-end makeup as well. I hope you enjoy my channel and if you do, please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE & leave me a comment! - Jak na to + styl
Just adding a comment to say that *the elf mascara removes like a true tubing formula, with just warm water* (exactly like the Thrive does). Also, it's made in Germany!
Thanks for this comment and for the wear test. It's amazing that a product that costs $7 looks and performs like a $25 product!
Thank you, Jen!! Can’t wait to try this!
This is just what I was wondering (since not all mascaras that make the tubing claim actually remove as tubes). Thank you! ❤
Great, I have an elf coupon, so I can get it in Brown, for 5.00 . I’m trying to find more brown mascaras , and you’ve done it again. ❤❤❤❤❤great hoodie , thanks for wearing it online 😢😢
Oh, I loooove that it’s made in Germany!! A lot of Elf products are made in china which is a big turn off for me. I will have to try this!! 💕💕
I love that we're in the era of tubing mascara! Recently all my mascaras have been smudging and gross but tubing formulas are always good for my lashes
And thankfully. I've been loathe to pay for the Thrive as I'm not an avid mascara wearer.
I couldn’t agree with you more. I gave up on mascara most of my life unless I’m at a situation where I can look in the mirror every 15 minutes and then near a restroom to fix potential problems. I found the Blinc mascara and only buy that one. Never had a chance to try the No 7. It was discontinued asap. Most people loved it. 🤷🏻♀️ Thrive was too clumpy for me and too expensive for something so messy. Never washed off clean as well. I think for the price I will try this one.
Fully agree. If it ever gets restocked anyone who loves tubing mascara should check out the Miss A Paw Paw Big Boss mascara, it's my favorite and less than $2! Their Shocking Length Mascara is not labeled as tubing but it literally comes off in tubes and it's incredible. Genuinely both look better than either in this video and they're dirt cheap. Made me wish I could un-purchase all the drugstore mascaras I bought recently 😢
Me too, I started out not liking how my mascara dissolved when washing my face, but it was ok, now I've finally tested methods on how to apply mascara to my bottom lashes so I can vary my looks, only to learn my holy grails smude mid wear. 😢
The Elf side looks more fluffy and defined to me! I'd say the Elf is better & I'm going to order it! Thank you for the review!❤❤
I thought so, too.
Fluffy and defined is the exact lash look I always want to achieve!❤
Agree...I think the Elf side looks better.
I think the elf looks nicer too!
I think the Elf side looks better & fluffy!
The elf side looks so much better then the thrive side! Thanks for sharing.
You've done great this week. Enjoy the weekend!
I appreciate you keeping us company !
I like both eyes but Elf seems to look even better than Thrive. I can’t seem to put on Thrive without clumping. But I do have much older eyes. I must try the Elf next for sure. Thanks Jen. 👍
It's definitely less prone to clumping than the Thrive!
That exactly what I thought as well, I thought the elf side looked better, I’m not sure if it was a lash thing, or if it was just a nicer mascara 😊
I like the ELF side better too !
You even coordinated your sweatshirt to match the mascara. Love that!
Thought the ELF eye looked slightly more curled right after applying. Thought they looked pretty much the same at the end of the day. Just bought 2 new tubes of THRIVE on BF, but will def give ELF a shot when those run out!😊
Maybe not an actual dupe by definition, the ELF eye looks a tiny bit better at the end of the day. I’ll definitely try it!
I love that you matched your shirt to the packaging ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I didn’t realize they were coming out with a new one to dupe the Thrive. I like the Milani one but I’m excited to see how the Elf compares. Thank you for your content 🤍
Edit… the Elf one is definitely intriguing as I prefer a dryer formula. The Milani one is very wet and heavy so I have to use a eyeshadow primer on my lashes to help hold the curl. Alexandra Anele has a tutorial on that hack, works well.
That would be the ones to compare- the Elf to the Milani!
Did you do anything special to get the Milani to work. The thrive mascara is my fav tubing mascara but bc I don’t wear makeup everyday, it goes bad before I use even half of it. And considering the price I can’t justify that. I bought the milani one but it literally gave me less lashes. And apparently I’m not the only one who had that issue. I’ve wondered if letting it dry out a bit or combing my lashes immediately after application might help. Anyways I’ve been curious to find out what ppl who have a good experience with the milani one have done bc I hate wasting money.
@@Comrade_mommy The Milani one is very wet...I usually wipe off the brush on a tissue to get rid of the excess and then apply it and that works much better. After it dries out in a few weeks, then I don't have to do that as much and can apply straight from the tube.
@@JenPhelps cool I appreciate the advice, I’ll def try that. Even if i only spent $14 I don’t want to have wasted the $. I just wish the Tarte tubing mascara didn’t flake on me bc it’s the best looking tubing mascara I’ve ever tried.
This is what I came to ask! So the elf is better. I got the Milani but IDK I don't reach for it a lot, I guess it's too sticky. It's not bad but I'll definitely try this.
I think the elf side looked better! I will definitely purchase.🎉
Frankly, the elf looks better than the Thrive. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays!
Random comment, but I love the fact that you matched your shirt to the color of the mascara tube. 😂😂 it made my OCD tendency happy.
Made mine happy too!
Mascara is something I'm always willing to try because I need to replace it routinely anyway. I'm excited to try this e.l.f formula. I hope they release it in a deep brown, too, like they did with the Lash 'n Roll.
I looked at e.l.f.’s website, to see if they have a brown version, and they do!
@@JeanieD Thanks for checking! I feel that black mascara is too harsh on me, so I prefer brown or black brown.
Not a huge mascara person but I like the look of the elf. I may give it a try. I didn’t understand what the tubing mascara was so thank you for explaining.
Happy when Thrive came out and was such a win for so many..so always fun to try an new drugstore version alternative..both eyes look great!
Thanks so much for the review! I'm definitely going to try the ELF as I liked the Milani one better as it dried out (and if nothing else, these tubing formulas are perfect for bottom lashes). I'm starting to wonder though if I like the idea of tubing mascaras more than the actual product. I love how they remove, but I'm not sure they do my lashes many favors. I keep searching for that perfect one that will look fluttery and voluminous *and* remove in tubes. 😆
I’ve only worn this once, so far so good! I like the drier formula. Normally tubing formulas weigh my lashes down, this didn’t. I also picked up a lip oil, love it!
Did it hold a curl well? My lashes are so thick but point straight down ten seconds after I apply mascara.😅
I ordered the ELF one a few days ago. Needed a new mascara. I've never had much success with their mascaras but this one is exciting. Thanks for the review!
Just bought the black and brown to try out because the thrive one is my holy grail! Excited to see if I can get the same look and feel from the elf one for cheaper! Thanks for the review! ❤
I can’t wait to try this!
Oh wow the comments seem to like the elf better also! Okie dokie, its veen in my cart and now purchasing! U are the best!
Thank you for showing us your decor! 😍🤩
I wear the Milani one; I haven't ever tried the Thrive version. However, I am really excited to try the new Elf "dupe", especially because I think the Milani one is too wet. I just like it because it doesn't smudge and it was more affordable than the high end ones.
Thanks for the thorough review!
The elf one is definitely less wet so I think you'll like it better for sure!
Where do I buy the ELF one?
@@catstang03 Jen has a link to ELF's website. I'm hoping it will pop up at my Walmart because I don't want to pay for shipping for one small thing.
I am excited!!! I will have to try it! 🎉🎉🎉
From further away, I notice the e.l.f. side first as looking longer and fluffier! I got so excited when I got an email from e.l.f. the other day about this mascara! I wanted so badly to love the Thrive, but it does flake on me. Also, I think e.l.f. really nailed the Lash ‘n’ Roll mascara, which I’ve fallen in love with. But I can’t wait to try this one - especially in brown!
Thanks for this review. I’m excited to try this out.
Jen you always teach me something! Great video!
This is one I will definitely try!
The ELF beautifies ur lashes hands down. I would buy it but I just purchased L’Oréal’s Telescopic Lift which I absolutely love :)
I was wondering if there was a dupe for the Thrive mascara, so glad you made this video! And I love the holiday opening of your videos!
Thank you Jen for making this video! I thought they looked really similar!
Your brows are looking amazing! ❤
Nice! I’ve been loving the daily videos for Vlogmas ❤❤❤ Thank you!
So helpful!!! Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for this video. I love tubing mascara.
Thanks Jen! I saw that they had this new mascara and I hoped you'd review it!
I like how ur hoodie matches the color tube mascaras. Keeping it with the theme 💙
I hope I can get my hands on the elf mascara! Thanks for the review!
I love all the variety of birdies in each intro. ♥️💚
I’m excited to try the elf. I only wear tubing mascaras and currently love Milani’s. I’m interested in seeing how the compare
Please let us know.
I've been waiting for this review since I heard about this mascara coming out!! I love a tubing mascara so I can't wait to try this!
I like the elf side. It’s definitely fluffier and more curled
I'm glad to finally find a drugstore tubing mascara that comes in brown and actually tubes properly! I've used the Clinique one on and off for years, but it's over $20 and the Elf one is $7.
I will definitely be trying out the elf mascara. It looks so nice!
Wow, that e.l.f. mascara looks gorgeous!
I always appreciate your thoughts on mascara, so thanks for the comparisons!
Edit: Your eye color is just soooo pretty! ❤
Love the Christmas season show and the adorable chickadee. Thanks for this review. Elf looks great to me.
definitely getting the elf mascara!!! thank you so much for the showdown!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hello Jen. I really like your new intro. Amazing video 😊. Love from Greece ❤️🙂.
I always wanted to try tubing formula, thanks Jen for your review and recommendations. As always 10/10
ill have to give this e.l.f. mascara a try! Thanks for the comparison!
I love that you match your hoodie with the color of the products packaging
Thanks Jen!
Your intro is like a movie opening and I just love it. Thanks for the amazing informative content as always!
Thank you for reviewing this, I was very curious about the quality because even with setting spray, I always get raccoon eyes
Definitely I'm trying the Elf one for sure. I like everything about a good tubing mascara. Thanks Jen ❤
Definitely gonna try elf
Thank you for this. And just wanted to say, that aqua colour top looks fabulous on you! Rx
The e.l.f one looks promising. Def will give it a try. Thanks for the review!
Yess! It looks like we're finally getting a good mascara from elf.. can't wait to try!! 🎉
I like the elf side. Thanks!
I had never even heard of tubing mascara before. I am going to try this out!
I have been on the hunt for a good drugstore tubing mascara. I will definitely give this a try. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the good news, Jen! Love that lip color on you.
I think I like the elf side more! Great job, Jen! ❤
Wow, it looks amazing! What a great dupe for an OG product.
I'm glad you managed to get the elf I'm interested to see what you think xx
Very excited to try this as I didn’t care for the Thrive formula. It was too wet and heavy, weighed my lashes down. Thanks for the comparison!
We see you Elf!! Definitely trying!!
Good morning from NJ! Last night I was shopping on the Elf website & decided to purchase this mascara. So glad you did a review & glad it was positive since I watched your video after purchase. Thank you, Jen, for all your reviews. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
Looks like I'll be giving this ELF mascara a try.
Amazing that this $6 mascara is doing such a good job, Jen! Thank you for showing these two side by side. I have never tried a tubing mascara but I might jump into this with the Elf.
Elf wins! Going to order it now! Thanks for the review ❤
I appreciate how you clarify what you mean by dupe and whether something is more of an alternative… I just find it helpful when I know I have the proper expectations in mind about a product!
I can’t wait to get the elf I love the Thrive but hate having to order it. Take care and stay safe. Love this video. ❤❤❤
Thanks for doing this review on the new elf mascara. I, like you, am always looking for a great tubing mascara to rival the Thrive. I ordered the ELF mascara as soon as I found out about it. It was just delivered to my community mailbox, and now I can’t wait to get off my butt and go get it. BTW, that hoodie color you are wearing today looks great on you! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
Hey Jen! I hope the new Elf mascara is in stores - My Lash & Roll is just about dead, and Im in tbe mood for something nrw. I want some "fluffy!" Thanks for the videos - so far, your Vlogmas is the best! Enjoy your weekend, but I'll miss you on Saturdays!
I bought the Elf lash xtendr mascara when it launched on the website. I absolutely love it. It my new favorite mascara. I have dexterity issues and the brush is the perfect size. It does not get everywhere on my lid but still give me very long well defined lashes that last Literally all day. No discomfort or anything negative to say. Usually most mascaras cause some sort of irritation or heaviness at the end of the day. But not this one. It’s a banger.
I just got the elf mascara in the mail yesterday and have always been a user of the Thrive, so I'm very excited to use the elf today when I go Christmas shopping! Elf has been killing it lately ❤❤
Have a safe and Blessed weekend Jen 🤗🙏🏼💯
I like your Christmas tree and those ornaments are adorable :) I've tried the Milani tubing mascara and I've repurchased it several times now - I'm pleased that this mascara doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes. It does apply wet at first but dries quite quickly , I haven't had any issues with clumping or flaking. Thanks for sharing this video Jen. Take care everyone 🌹
Wow !!!!🤩 the elf one mascara looks incredible, amazing !!!!! No more words, I’ll need it now !!!😊
The thrive is actually the mascara I use. Love it. Will definitely try this one. Wanted to share that my mother gave me a mascara that is a tubing one that gives dramatic volume and I love that more. It’s the wowcombo cosmetics. I love that mascara. Give it a try. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Oh wow I"ve never heard of that one before! I'll look it up...thanks! :)
@@JenPhelps please do and do a review or add it to a look one day. Let us know your thoughts.
I have never heard of it either and I refuse to wear any mascara that is not tubing!!!!!
@@JenPhelps I also vote for a review of the wowcombo product. If you can fit it in.
Jen...that color turquoise is everything on you!!!
Merry Merry
Godspeed
Dee
Aw thank you Dee! Merry Christmas to you! 🎄❤️
I’m definitely going to try it. I like to put a coat of tubing mascara over my regular mascara.
Ooo this is really good to know! The thrive one is my favorite as well and mine is coming near the end of its life, and it’s time for a repurchase so I might try this one! I liked the milani one but it definitely was very wet and you kind of have to “paint” it on and leave it or else I run into trouble!
I’d love to see you try some Korean tubing mascaras and do a showdown of those sometime!!!
This looks good!
I deliberately didn't look to see which eye was which when applying. The one I liked without knowing was the elf. Thanks Jen❤❤❤
I’ve been using the Thrive mascara for about 2 years. I was surprised how well the elf mascara looked in comparison. I think I’m going to have to try it. Thank you for the great review!
I agree with you that they look pretty much the same. Thanks for testing it out for us.
I’m sold! Going to go pick up the elf one the next time I put in an order.
Ohhh!! Great review!! I love Thrive but it is pricey for mascara, but it worked so well I didn’t mind. But I’m definitely going to try this Elf one!!
Oh 😳 excited to try. I have one or two thrive in mascara drawer. If I see in store I will grab it thank you. I bought the elf lip mask reminds me of my sigma lip mask but better I think.
I’ve never tried to find a product so fast. Hope it comes to stores!
Finally watching your review. I didn't want to watch until I filmed mine so it wouldn't influence my opinion. But I completely agree with you. While it's not a dupe in the strictest sense of the word, it for sure is an affordable alternative. Btw, love that your sweatshirt matches the mascara tubes😂.
Your video is a lifesaver anddd money saver ❤ essence waterproof mascara flakes and smudges on me ALL THE TIME, i will definitely get elf bc i trust youuuu❤❤❤
☕️❤️👍Going on my shopping list for the drugstore. Thanks Jen! I like the ELF side
The elf looks good tbh!! 👍
It really is! I was surprised!
Definitely 100% the ELF one is so much prettier and looks flawless. thanks for sharing. BTW, I love your VLOGMAS videos and look forward to watching them everyday. ❤
I'm going to have to try it
