Most Helpful Positive Review Best mascara I've ever used!!!!! I tried this product simply because I was on vacation and forgot to pack my makeup and this was cheap. I was completely shocked when I put it on my lashes! I had fake lashes for years and loved them, but they left my natural lashes looking horrible! I have been using products to repair my lashes and just accepting that they will always look like short stubby things, but then I put this on and OMG I was ecstatic! It looked almost as good as when I was getting them done! It not only lengthens and adds so much volume, but it also gives them a nice curl! The only negative I have agaist this product is that it is a bit difficult to remove.
Most Helpful Critical Review So disappointed I saw great reviews about this new mascara and wanted to love it. I liked the volume it gave my lashes (which is why I gave it 2 stars) but I couldn't remove it at night. I tried my regular make up remover (Neutrogena), Micellar water (Garnier), and a waterproof remover that I use only for stubborn make up residue. However, not one of these products could remove the remaining mascara and I ended up loosing some lashes in the process..very upsetting!

This product goes on smooth and not clumpy. It also makes my lashes look long and thick!

Sharleen from St. Louis
I love this mascara. I have super short lashes and this really helps. I'm not a fan of putting on falsies so this is awesome.
Fabulous mascara 5
Jani from Canada

Returned immediately 1
Heatherb1131 from Wilmington NC
This makes big claims, but it barely coated lashes. Not a super black formula, didnt give length or volume. Princess lash is amazing! - exchanged
It no good at all 1
Rizz from Los Angeles
Didn't do anything for my eyelashes like at all. Dry product will return.
Nothing like it's big sister 1
mimzy from Bristol pa
My expectations to be better than lash princess and be the lash queen since no racoon eyes. Such a HUGE disappointment when it didn't work AT ALL as in two coats and tossed it in the trash...
Great for the price! 5
Cindy from Chicago
I've bought different brands of mascara around this price range and so far this is one of the best! Def will be trying out more
My New Favorite Mascara 5
Candygrl Shelley from Colorado Springs, CO
Man oh man... for only about 5 bucks, I am so glad I got this mascara! My natural eyelashes are not really lacking or anything, but with this Essence "what the fake" mascara, I feel like my lashes can do anything! My lashes can just go to work for me, I'll just chill at home!
For real tho buy it, it's kinda a big deal. I la-la-Love it!!
Honestly I often buy Essence makeup at Ulta ... great value and I'm never disappointed.

I would not purchase again. 1
Tara from Pocatello, idaho
This didnt give my lashes very much volume. It was very hard to wash off. I was not happy with this mascara.
BEST MASCARA 5
Tay from Eugene
This mascara surprised me! I picked it up because I had never tried it and it was only like 3-4 bucks which is INSANE. I love trying new mascaras because I hadn't found one I truly loved yet and I've tried so many high end brands like Too Faced, Benefit, and Urban Decay. This mascara is my new favorite. Made my lashes look the best they have looked in a long time!
Good for volumizing! 4
jackie from Chicago
This is good for volumizing, not so much for lengthening. I use it over a washable lengthening mascara and it gives me amazing lashes that last all day. Despite being waterproof, it comes off easy with makeup remover. The wand also helps get the lashes in the corners of my eyes.
Good for the price 4
tgcoop from VA
Good for daily use. A little hard to remove but I use micellar water for waterproof mascara and it comes off. The price cannot be beat.
Great Product- Great Price 5
Shelly from Lexington, KY
I absolutely love this product. Applies smoothly with no clumping. Lasts a long time!
Not Really Impressed 2
Tooz from Omaha, NE
I was really excited about trying this mascara. Unfortunately, compared to other Essence mascaras, this one is not as nearly impressive. Fortunately, I also picked up the tried and true Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara. It's the greatest ever.
So great for the price! 4

Would re-buy For sure! 5
Lilliland from Erie, PA
I meant to buy Lash Princess and instead grabbed What the Fake. I like it!! It was a great bargain at BOGO. Doesn't smudge and is deep black.
Surprisingly great mascara for the price 5

I gave this mascara try seeing it was by the checkout. It was affordable and does the job if you don't wanna spend too much.
Flakes and irritates eyes 1
