Volume / definition

Essence are a cosmetic brand that really pay attention to beauty trends and are geared to people of all ages but a lot of younger people will love the high tech packaging, the shimmery eyeshadows, nail paints and lip glosses and the fact everything Essence seems to be €5/£5/$5 or under making this brand Europe’s No1 budget friendly make-up brand. Essence have a huge stall in the Arndale Centre in Manchester if you ever happen to be up North in the UK.

Essence Cosmetics are also available online - www.essence.eu or at UK Wilko stores.

This Volumizing mascara enhances natural lashes and also delivers some lash definition with a very clever brush design that eliminates clumps. This volume adding mascara is also waterproof and gives a long lasting curl hold to lashes all day.

Flakes off

I thought I'd try it since it was only $5 but it did not work out for me. Although I do like how light the formula is, it flakes like no ones business and gives me such bad raccoon eyes!

Bargain eyes

I bought this on a whim looking for a quick cheap fix with the change I had at the bottom of my purse. I was sufficiently surprised but the effect this product provided while being so budget friendly. Although if you sneeze while applying it, it certainly smudges it gets the job done.

The only mascara you'll ever need

For a super-affordable $4.99 there's not much more you could ask for in a lash enhancer. Goes on evenly. If there's something beyond waterproof, this is it.

Great Mascara!

This is a great mascara. I love the essence brand. It's so affordable yet effective, great for everybody. This mascara works to volumize and lengthen your natural lashes. I like how it is a waterproof mascara which helps my lashes stay curled all day long. 10/10 would recommend this product.

Excellent!

I am always so weary of trying new mascaras. I have dry eyes and can only usually handle 4 or so hours of wear before my eyes become red and swollen feom mascara.
I was shopping for my regular mascara and noticed the price had hone up significantly, so I shopped around and found this one for $4. I was shocked, a waterproof volumizing mascara for $4! No way!!! I have been using it now for two weeks, daily, and I have had no issues whatsoever and manage to be able to wear it all day and still doesn't irritate my eyes. It stays on all day, barely rubs off when you rub your eyes, gives great volume and is a great price. I am very impressed with this mascara and believe it has become my new go to.

Very good for the price

This is one of the best mascara i got...for the price i was really suprised and it really is waterproof; no black leaks under my eyes after a long day at work! It comes with two mascara with different brushes to give it that long and fullness look. Will definetly buy again it's my favorite i've tried so far

Spent the extra few dollars.

Spent the additional $2-3 and get yourself a decent mascara.
Sure, this one is cheap, but you're also left with cheap looking eye lashes that clump together and look awful.
This mascara dried out on me within the first week. It did give me a lot of volume, but i'd rather no volume and clump free lashes. Gross.

Bang for your buck!

I picked this up on a whim while I was at Shoppers, they had it on sale for $2.99 for a pack of two mascaras. I've never used a waterproof mascara before because I heard they were hard to get off without damaging your lashes.

The formula is really smooth, with one of the best applicators I've ever used... Meaning it does not go on clumpy. It doesn't flake, and you only need one or two swipes to get the full effect.

Even if this had been full price when I bought it, I would still say it was worth your money.

This got clumpy so quickly, and dried out fairly fast.

The big brush makes it easy to get some volume on your lashes, but it also will clump them together. It is a messy formula, so be careful when you apply it or else you will end up with some on your eyelids as well.
