Love Island All Stars winner Samie Elishi has credited a £16 tubing mascara from UKLASH for her long, luscious lashes. The product, which went viral late last year, wraps each lash in polymers to create length and separation without smudging. It can be removed with warm water, eliminating the need for harsh rubbing. Samie favours the shade Mocha, describing it as her top choice for a natural look.
Samie said: “I am a natural lash girly so I am mascara obsessed and always on the hunt for new ones — UKLASH Tubing Mascara is top of my list! I love wearing the shade Mocha during the day. I also love it as it’s so easy to remove.” Fans have praised the mascara, with one reviewer calling it a “game changer” and noting the shade appears darker on lashes than in the tube.
For those seeking long-term lash enhancement, fellow Love Island winner Millie Court recommends UKLASH’s Eyelash Growth Serum, normally £38 but currently 20% off at Sephora (£30.40). Millie, who won the 2021 series, credits the serum with restoring her natural lashes after damage from extensions. She revealed: “I get asked all the time if these are my natural lashes. The only thing I can thank is UKLASH — it has been the biggest saviour after I damaged my lashes badly with lash extensions.”
Tubing mascaras, which first gained popularity in the 1990s, are now experiencing a renaissance. Unlike traditional formulas, they coat lashes in tiny polymer tubes that resist smudging, making them ideal for those with sensitive eyes or hay fever. Affordable alternatives include Elf Cosmetics Lash XTNDR at £10 and Revolution’s Wrap Lash, also £10.
