I have used them all (all price levels)only to be disappointed after the first tube. All my adult life, I have been in search of the "perfect" mascara. By perfect, I mean big, thick lashes with minimal effort. I found it in this one. I was nervous because it was so inexpensive. I always pay over $20. I ask the Ulta rep what she suggested and she suggested Benefit's They're Real. I went ahead and bought it also because I was just worried about a [$] mascara actually working. As soon as I got to my car, I did a lash in each of the mascaras. The Essence was far better because it give me fuller looking lashes with far less effort. There was a very noticable difference between the two lashes. The Benefit mascara is good but not great. I am writing this review for all the people like me that thought a perfect mascara has to cost more than [$]. It worth far more than that. An excellent value on a great product!
I wanted to love this, because it did make my eyelashes very thick and long, almost as if I were wearing false lashes. However, this product did not agree with my eyes at all. The first day wearing it, my right eye began to hurt. I got home and took off my makeup to see what the problem was--both top & bottom eyelids of my right eye were puffy, and there was a white bump on my lower lash line. Day 2 of using this, I figured I might try it one more time because I did really like the thick eyelash effect it gave. This was a horrible idea. My left eye began to hurt, and both eyes were puffy. It even hurt to blink. I tried warm compresses, natural baby soap, and saline solution to flush my eyes of any harmful flakes that may have gotten stuck in my eyes. If this whole eye situation doesn't improve within the next day or so, I'll probably end up making an appointment with my eye doctor.

If you don't like a jumbo applicator then you may want to pass on this. I however love how huge and "bushy" this wand is! And the formula is just as good as some of my favorite high-end mascaras! And I'd say better than some high-end mascaras I've used. I'm a nurse, I work 12 hour shifts and this stays put for my whole shift until I remove it! I feel foolish for even owning $20+ mascaras because this is all I need!

I love this mascara! It does what the more expensive ones do. Makes sense to pay less for the same product. I will stick with this one for as long as it's produced!

This mascara gives me the volume that I'm looking for with no clump and it also defines my length. I use it with another mascara and I absolutely love it. It gives me the sense of a false lash without all the work of applying false lashes. I love the princess brand.

Not my favorite due to the way application occurs.

I have used expensive mascaras before, and honestly, this mascara competes with those others. I will only buy this one now. I love it! It enhances my lashes, and comes off easily as well!

Made my eyes look flawless. Loved it.

One of the best mascara's I've ever used! My eyelashes look beautiful. No clumping, spreads on nice and even. My lashes look thick and long. Very highly recommend this mascara!

The formula is good but it's so hard to apply with such a large brush. If this brush was half the size it'd be soooo much better! You'd be able to get your bottom lashes and most inner parts way better !

My #1 mascara. Anytime I sway from it I always return. Keeps a great curl, lengthiness and voluminous. Doesn't flake (unless you touch your lashes). Also the easiest and quickest for me to apply. I've tried them all and this is the best.
Caity from illinois
this mascara is very average and normal. The wand is so big though and the consistency is very thick.

Ok I have tried multiple brands of mascara, different applications, wands, formulas, etc. I didn't know how this would work because I've never tried this brand, and it was fairly inexpensive. I have to say though, it gives length, not so much volume, but to be fair I haven't used it to build up volume yet. However, I do recommend this product. It actually feels really nice and isn't too thin but isn't overly thick either.

This is a great vegan mascara that is voluminous! The con with this mascara is the brush is large, but other than that it builds well and is a great vegan option. Their lash princess line is good but it's not vegan.

First, I just want to say-the wand is ENORMOUS-which makes application super messy! But the price is great, and it does really lengthen your lashes. I'm gonna finish the tube, but I think I'll try the Lash Princess next.
Carrie from Michigan City
This works great. The brush is nice and full. Works as good as the expensive brands.... Love it .

Just look at the pros and cons. Do not like waterproof anything so don t want to try.

When I first bought this I was very skeptical because of how affordable it was and how big the wand was, I also was not familiar with the brand at all. After I tried the waterproof version, I fell in love because it make my lashes look amazing! I was scared to use the original one because I thought it wouldn't of given me the same effect as the waterproof but I was completely wrong! I love this mascara and it has never failed me. I always recommend it to people who are looking for a affordable mascara.

Will never buy another mascara. The color, the brush, everything about it I love. Leaves your lashes looking fuller & longer!
Morgs from Omaha, NE
I use this as a base mascara before I apply a volumizing mascara. It lifts and separates so well!
caroline from louisiana
love the volume, but i do have to apply a layer of thinner mascara first and after or else it's very clumpy and very thick. but it def gives you volume and thickens your lashes just use it sparingly!! hope this helps y'all!
