Reading the reviews on this I'm really shocked because people mention flaking. All mascaras will flake to some extent whether it's obvious or not. Not a fair judgment call. This mascara I brought on a whim since I never tried the original Lash Princess I got this since I have curly lashes and I love volume. I did a comparison with my bad gal bang by benefit which I keep buying and I will continue to buy , this really is a dupe for it. I got the exact same result. Essence's mascara don't dry down hard on the lashes which may contribute to flaking but also it's a pro in my book. Cheap mascaras tend to dry down too hard and irritate the lash follicle for me which is why I keep buying benefit's mascara. This really shocked me I got the same effect and look from it and ask my coworkers to tell me which side had the benefit. They pointed to the lash princess side. So if you are lash junkie who understands that flaking is usual especially in non water resistant formulas, run to the store don't walk to purchase it!!! It's only $5 which if you can't buy your usual expensive mascara this will suffice as a backup!!!!
I am a huge fan of the green tube, and that formula works very well on my lashes. However, this new version is a fail for me. I have short straight lashes that are very difficult to curl. I normally have to curl, apply a waterproof mascara, then layer with a non- waterproof. However, because the green false lash effect works on its own, I had high hopes for an Essence version of princess lash that is formulated to curl. The curvy wand did nothing, and the formula made my lashes fall immediately. It's strange, because the formula is lightweight and not very wet, so I think maybe there was not enough wax in this formula for hard to curl lashes. I'll stick with the green tube from here on out. That brush and formula is so much better.

Love this mascara! I haven't had any problems with flaking or running down my face. I got tired paying $20-$25 for mascara. I decided to try this, it is great! Will continue to use.

This mascara is a great dupe for the Mabelline Lash Paradise without being dry and hard to work with!

I wanted to love it so bad. But literally not long after applying, it starts smudging. And by the end of the day there is so much black underneath my eyes. Won't risk it for a cheap mascara again

Hello! I think I may have got a bad batch from ulta, I have tried this mascara and I LOVED IT! I got one from ulta the other day, and it was DRY DRY DRY. I don't think it was the correct formula, I dont know what happened. Usually I would recommend it, but maybe not from ulta.

Do not waste your money on high priced mascara when Essence mascara does better! This mascara thickens my lashes without clumping or weighing them down.

I am the more natural look when it comes to make up the most important part of my routine is my mascara and I've spent a lot of money on high-end mascaras to drugstore mascaras. I decided to get this one a try after seeing the reviews on the website and it's well worth it in for the price.

When I put it on it was good, it had a smell that wasn't the best. But it looked good for about and hour then after that you couldn't tell I was even wearing it.

Ali from Houma la
It gives off a false lash look but also natural at the same time. It works well and I love it.

I have never had a mascara that flaked as much as this one. All the essence mascaras flake on me for some reason. The formula also made my lashes feel "crispy" after it dried- did not like the feel at all. Would not recommend.
Kat from Atlanta, Georgia
It smudges and it's flaky. Awful. Makes my eyes itch so much which is so weird. Never had a mascara like this one and I would never buy it again. I wanted to love it but it just was not for me
Kimmie from Tucson, Arizona
This massacre is one of the best that I ever tried being a non waterproof. I love it so much, that I am going to purchase more!!!

dori from north carolina
Buyer beware... this product flakes awfully and i have tried it multiple times with different amounts of layers. even the smallest amount on the lashes flakes. it drove me insane with how many flakes of the mascara got in my eyes.

I love this mascara. My lashes are light and feathery, and hold their volume all day!!! I always try to curl my lashes before applying this, and when I do, they literally look flawless all day. I will say that there is a little bit of flaking, however.
