Most Helpful Positive Review I'm Never Looking Back I grabbed this on an impulse (I needed one more thing for free shipping) and I will never look back!! I can't say enough good things about and I now reach for it everyday; it's able to give me a more natural look for a lowkey day, but it also layers up perfectly and quickly to create a "falsie" effect without clumping! I am a mascara FIEND and have tried all the cult-beauty holy grail mascaras, and this mascara makes me feel like I have found a true gem in the makeup world. I recommend it to everyone, and y'all should too!!
Most Helpful Critical Review Errr confused I saw this all over YouTube videos as the best drugstore mascara. I will say it does make it have volume and longer lashes. Dang though, is it a pure mess!!! The formula takes awhile to dry so if you happen to flinch or bat your lashes, you get smudges immediately. Also, it puts way too much onto my lashes as the brush bristles are so small. So I have to take my time to lightly put it on. Will use again but sparingly.

Miss Eve from Nashville, TN
I have used some of everything. Very high end to low end over the years and Essence wows me with how easy this was to apply. I like the brush on this one and I didn't get any on my eyelids which was a plus. It did not clump and I applied 3 coats and eyelash separation stayed in tact. My lashes look great. This will work as a daily mascara. Definitely a big win for such a low cost.
I LOVE 4
katherine from California
it's a really good mascara! not a fan of the brush but it just might be the brush mine came with but it's a great mascara! REMEMBER NEVER SEND TO MUCH ON MASCARA! CHEAP MASCARA ARE AMAZING!
I love this mascara! 5
Brennie from Denver, CO
It's taken me literally YEARS to find a mascara that agrees with my eyelashes since they're so picky! I've tried so many different brands and products over the years and I can say with confidence that I've found the perfect mascara for me. This mascara created volume and length for my lashes without being overbearing or clumping. It's smooth, bold, and my lashes look great!
Not as extreme as it sounds 2
Rae from North Attleboro
This product didn't wow me like the title did and it made me a little disappointed.
A repeat purchase for sure 5

Flakey Raccoon Eyes Inbound 3
Orlando from USA
I love the waterproof lash princess as a cheap and good mascara so I decided to try something new from Essance. This stuff gave me raccoon eyes and flaked like no one's business. I doubt I try a different
Essance mascara again
It's okay.. 3
Vsantana from Alaska
The mascara brush is weird. Did not work for me.
Good/Average 4
Rebecca from Washington
This is a good product.... however, it tends to smudge onto my lower eye. So I get racoon eyes as the day goes on. It doesn't look terrible but it is something to watch out for
best value! 5
butter from philly
this mascara gives me so much volume and thickness! I'm always surprised by how much it does! its my go to. it's definitely a steal for how low the price is for something so good!
Great mascara! High end feel with budget friendly price! 5
jennifer58x from Indiana
Great for every day use. Goes on smooth with a thick wet application. It is very buildable and works best when you start with minimal product and do multiple applications over it. I alternate eye to eye allowing it to briefly set and then go back and add more. It does not flake at all and is long wearing
Pleasantly surprised 5
Kay from Casper wy
I was so pleasantly suprised at how much I LOVE this product. How dark and long and clean and fuller it made my lashes!!! It's my go to and ALWAYS my 1st coat now!!
wonderful mascara 5
Deni from Gladstone, Missouri
I love, love, love this mascara!! It enhances what eyelashes I have, making them long and lush. This does a far better job than the other really pricey mascaras. Try this , you won't be disappointed.
I LOVE IT 5
:) from Hemet
made my lashes long and full
One of the best drugstore mascaras 4
Nicole from Miami, Fl
I was definitely pleasantly surprised with such an inexpensive mascara. The brush is awesome at separating and defining your lashes and the formula is easy to pack on layers for good volume. The only complaint is that if you have long lashes it will transfer onto your top lid near the brow bone, especially if you have oily skin or go without any eyeshadow or some kind of powder set on your eyelids. There is nearly no fall out throughout the day and it's incredibly easy to remove without tugging or rubbing the lashes.
Better than Lash Extensions 5
Hard Working and VERY Feminine from Long Island
I LOVE, LOVE this mascara it's like he I g extensions without the maintenance!
I did not like at all !! 2
Woman of age from Goodyear Az
I usually like Essence mascara
Extremely clumpy and goopy 3
NaNa Blanca from Twin Cities
It's too goopy to go on cleanly and the wand end is too thick to get to your inner lashes decently. After applying, it looks like your mascara after you've gotten caught in the rain - dried lashes that kind of stick together three lashes at a time leaving them kind of spiky. It isn't the worst by far but not even good enough for an everyday use.
Never again 1
Marileen from Williamsburg,VA
No extra volume showing
Clumpy/too wet 3
Ali from Richmond, VA
Formula is just a mess and the brush is way too big- not worth it.
Amazing 5
springgirl1 from minneapolis, mn
I love this product. Its sooo lengthening and buildable. For the price I am honestly obsessed!
Okaaay for the money you pay 3
Minecraft LOver 💜💋👁 from NY
I wouldn't purchase it again
Great mascara 4
Lynn from New York
Bought this and the green tube Lash Princess mascara, ended up only keeping this one. The brush has plastic bristles and is HUGE, a little hard to work with at first. But the mascara itself is great, not clumpy and gives me the volume I want. Will definitely be repurchasing!
I would buy this again 5
Mrs. Leeds from Galloway, nJ
I think it makes it lashes look very full. However, I would probably like it better if it were waterprooff. it fades away quickly as the day goes on.
Clumpy mess 1
BL1022 from Los Angeles
I thought I would try because of the great reviews and low price. Total waste as you get what you pay for with this one.
pretty good for the money 5
Tina from Wi
It's not amazing by any means but is good for the money. This version is WAAAAY better than their falsie mascara in the black & green bottle. The mascara wand is really fat so be aware of that.
