Rating: 3 Stars – Good but Flawed
The e.l.f. Big Mood Mascara promises bold, lifted lashes with mega volume, curl, and separation. Its hourglass-shaped brush is designed to evenly distribute product, while the smudge-proof, jojoba wax–infused formula claims long-lasting results.
What Worked:
✔ Inexpensive – Very budget-friendly compared to most mascaras.
✔ Good Initial Performance – Delivers nice volume and lift in the first few uses.
✔ Rich Pigment – Provides bold, dark lashes.
What Didn’t Work:
✖ Dries Out Quickly – Formula becomes clumpy after only a few uses.
✖ Oversized Brush – Difficult to maneuver for precision, especially on smaller lashes.
✖ Inconsistent Results – Great at first, but quality drops off quickly.
Final Thoughts:
e.l.f.’s Big Mood Mascara starts strong with bold pigment and affordable pricing, but its oversized brush and tendency to dry out too fast keep it from being a reliable staple. A decent drugstore mascara for short-term use, but not one that lasts.
