Surprisingly good. Wasn’t expecting much from this mascara since it was so cheap and cutesy looking. But the formula is absolutely perfect for me! I tend to avoid mascara because I put on too much too fast and end up with clumpy lashes, which drives me nuts. Within the first brush, I saw zero clumps. I brushed in the product 3-4 more times and I was so happy with the results!! My lashes looked like they were naturally long! Almost zero clumps, there were literally just tiny bits here and there. Best part, zero flaking. I was shocked. Gave it 4 stars bc it still smeared a tiny bit after a long summer night (although, I do tend to sweat a lot in the face, so….).Also, it’s easily removable, which could be a con for some folks, but not for meeee!!
Best inexpensive mascara out there. For decades I have only used mascara from Estée Lauder, Lancôme, Benefit, Anastasia Beverly Hills, etc. A friend uses this mascara and suggested I try it. The cost was nominal compared to my other mascara, so I decided to try it. What a fantastic product! I don’t think there is a mascara out there that can beat this due to the price point. It goes on smoothly and I like the shape of the applicator brush. I do have to apply 2-3 coats to get the coverage I like. This causes me to go through the tubes much faster than my more expensive brands; but because the price is so cheap, I still save a lot of money, even though I go through more tubes. I still use my more expensive brands; but for my “casual day use” I always grab my this product! My only issue is that some of my really thick undereye concealers can cause the mascara to smudge slightly. (Minimally, and not always) If I avoid really “dewy” or thick undereye concealer, I have zero issues with this mascara smudging. I rarely like inexpensive makeup… but this little guy makes me want to try to find other ways to save money in other areas of my makeup routine!
Amazing Product at an Amazing Price. As a woman with a maturing face, I am always in search of “mature face friendly” products. This brand is on point. However, not only did I buy it for myself. I also bought it for my 20-year-old “young, fresh-faced” daughter and she loves it too! It is easy to apply. It doesn’t make your lashes as long as advertised but it does make them look long and full and it doesn’t clump. A few swipes and I am good to go. I also find it very easy to remove with my cold cream cleanser. Nothing special is needed for removal. The price makes this product the best!
My daughter loves this mascara. I recently tried the Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara and it has quickly become a favorite in my makeup bag. Not only did I find it at an amazing price, but my daughters also love it! They were right about how easy it is to remove with makeup wipes. I haven’t noticed any smudging, and my daughters have been careful not to rub their eyes, which is always a good thing. The mascara really lives up to its name – it makes their lashes look long and full as if they were wearing false lashes. Overall, I highly recommend giving this mascara a try!
Dry formula but it still gives. At first I hated this. It was clumpy, dry, cakey, and flaky. After using it several times I feel like I broke it in and it started to create full, dramatic, fanned lashes with a gothic doll or glam rock appeal. It’s a great product if you can get it to work for you. There is still a decent amount of fall out however.
Get this mascara. I love this mascara! I’m so glad it randomly popped up on my Amazon search. The price is so reasonable it’s ridiculous, and the mascara goes on so well. I have been doing makeup for 20 years plus, and use everything from drug store brands to the expensive stuff. It is true that you get what you pay for in many ways, but this is a gem. $4.99 for amazing mascara. It does not clump, and it makes my lashes visibly longer and adds volume. If I’m low on time, which is always lol, I throw this mascara on, with some lip gloss and moisturizer and I’m good to go. This mascara really does the job…. I’m on a break from false lashes as they took my real ones with them and now they need time to grow and come back. I am liking the natural look and how these give me full lashes with nothing fake there. Lately it seems like being plastic is in style, and I don’t like it. I like to see women’s real beauty; their authentically, different, beautiful selves. Everyone trying to look the same is just weird. False lashes is a part of this trend. But I digress… good makeup gives you the results you want and this does the job!!! Definitely will be ordering more, this is my new go to mascara.
Definitely looks like I have longer, thicker lashes. This mascara is great. I have shorter, thinner lashes and I’ve been thinking about getting extentions but don’t want to spend the time or money on the upkeep so I gave this a shot. I’m so glad I did. I can actually see my lashes after I put mascara on. Plus it’s a super dark black so I can use even less.One pic is one eye with mascara and the other without so you can see how hard it is to see my lashes. The other one is with both lashes done with only one coat of mascara. The more coats I add seems to make them look longer… after like 3 coats they don’t seem to “get longer” tho.I didn’t do my bottom lashes because I end up with smudges under my eyes by the afternoon but it’s not just this mascara that does it so its not brand specific.But it does come off easily and I haven’t noticed any damage to my lashes or any lashes falling out when cleaning the mascara off. I’ll continue to buy…Just need to learn how to prevent the under-eye smudge.
I love this mascara. This isn’t waterproof, (the green one) idk how many types of Essence Princess mascara but quite a few to choose from. I usually get waterproof but decided to go without waterproof this time & see how it holds up. I love this mascara! I’ve been looking for a good mascara for abt 8 yrs, have pd over $20 a tube for high end name brands. This mascara goes on so nice, it doesn’t burn my eyes & it doesn’t flake, it washes off w/ soap & water but not super easy, so you might need a makeup remover or a little micellar water. So far in my search for mascara, I’m satisfied w/this one, it has a great brush & isn’t clumpy & it really does make your lashes long!
Never using another mascara ever. After seeing a ton of articles saying that this was the best mascara that anyone has ever used, and it is really, really affordable, I decided to just give it a try and see what the hype was about.Well, I will happily say that I am on my 2nd tube of this mascara!! I could not believe how fabulous this works!! I wear makeup everyday and use a makeup remover cloth using just water to clean it off, so I figured if it could come off easily with just water, I would be a lifetime customer. I will be purchasing my 3rd tube of this in the next month or so, so yeah it really is that damn good!!It doesn’t clump, stays on all day and looks great, comes off really easy, and does exactly what it says. Your lashes will be longer, fuller, and quite possibly the best they’ve ever looked! Once you use it the first time, you will understand what I’m talking about. Next thing you know, you’ll be getting your 3rd tube soon too.
I like it. I was a little skeptical because of how cheap this is compared to other mascaras out there, but it had so many good reviews that for the price I thought might as well give it a try. I’ll say its not my favorite one to this day, but it does a pretty good job, upside is it makes my lashes look super long and pretty, the downsides are, if I don’t wipe out the excess mascara several times before, I usually get some unwanted lumps but its easily fixed, and it miiiight get a little smudged if rub my eyes after a while. Other than that i love that its super easy to remove and for the daily use I’ll continue to use it!
Royal Treatment for Lashes: Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara Review. Review:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara has quickly become my go-to for achieving luscious, voluminous lashes that rival the look of false lashes. Not only does it deliver on its promise of a “false lash effect,” but it also boasts a cruelty-free and gluten-free formula, making it a win-win for beauty enthusiasts who care about both the performance and ethics of their makeup products.The first thing that impressed me about this mascara is its sleek and regal packaging. The black and green color scheme gives it a sophisticated look, and the wand itself is designed to coat every lash from root to tip. The conical shape of the brush allows for precise application, ensuring that even the tiniest lashes get attention.The formula of the Lash Princess mascara is nothing short of magical. It provides incredible volume without clumping, giving my lashes a dramatic lift and curl. The mascara creates a full and fluttery effect that lasts throughout the day without smudging or flaking. I appreciate that it doesn’t feel heavy on the lashes, providing a comfortable wear from morning to night.Being gluten-free and cruelty-free is a significant plus for me. As someone with sensitivities, it’s reassuring to know that I can enhance my lashes without worrying about gluten irritations. Additionally, supporting a cruelty-free product aligns with my values, and I’m glad to see a brand like Essence offering high-quality options without compromising on ethics.The mascara is also incredibly easy to remove at the end of the day, which is a big plus for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of time and effort on their nighttime skincare routine. A gentle makeup remover or micellar water is all it takes to wipe away the day’s glam.In summary, Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara is a true gem in the world of cruelty-free beauty. Its performance is outstanding, providing a false lash look that is both glamorous and effortless. If you’re in search of a mascara that delivers on volume, curl, and ethical standards, look no further – the Lash Princess has earned its royal place in my makeup routine.
Pretty Good Mascara for the price, easy to remove, lot of product on wand-Good Color. I’ve only used it for a few days but it doesn’t irritate my eyes or skin so far and doesn’t bleed/run down into my eyes. It will come mostly off with water so it is Not waterproof. I have not been using mascara for about 2 years due to dry eye and how most flake/run off etc.TIP:: This does have a LOT of mascara on the wand so I found that if I use a napkin and rub off some of it before I apply it that is clumps less or leaves less of those bigger round gobs at the tip of some eyelashes. I also curl my lashes before I put it on and still have to use toothpick a little to space out some lashes.I did wear it overnight twice to test it and it did not smear all over and didn’t flake into my eyes, but I mostly am a back sleeper.
Thee BEST mascara I have ever found. If you’re looking for fairy lashes, or the innocent look, this is not your mascara. But if you’re searching for bold and ‘look at me’ lashes, it’s definitely for you!Be prepared, you’re going to be accused of wearing falsies.Just a few swipes is all it will take for standout eyes.I highly suggest maybe two coats maximum, otherwise if you wear glasses, your lashes will be swiping against them.Honestly, at the price point for this formulation, I feel like I’m stealing it.GOD, PLEASE DON’T LET THIS BE DISCONTINUED, EVER!
Perhaps the best mascara ever. I’d seen this mentioned on the internet as an amazing product. Then I saw the NY Times recommending it in their Wirecutter column. I’d been switching back and forth between Maybelline and L’Oréal. It was time to try this. I’m so happy I did. It gives nice color, length and curl to my lashes. Smudging and flaking are minimal. It comes off easily. I have dry eyes and this left my eyes feeling less dry at the end of the day, which is a nice bonus.
Love. Love this mascara. Makes me look like I have lashes for sure. I’m just upset I didn’t realize there was a waterproof one as well. This is also pretty much smudge proof as well. I don’t see any problems. I just like to always have a waterproof one. Easy to wash off as well. Super glad it’s gluten free because now my eyes don’t get red anymore or itchy. I wish I took photos so you could see the difference but I’m too lazy. Trust though there is a definite difference. This product doesn’t disappoint.
#1 Mascara. Okay this mascara is absolutely bonkers!!! I remember using it as a teenager, but I’ve used so many mascaras from then to now that I don’t remember which ones gave what results. (If that makes any sense!) Fast forward many years, I’ve used ALL the mascaras trying to find my holy grails again. Only a few (((OUT OF HUNDREDS!))) have truly made my lashes POP. Who knows why I ever wanted to try new ones, but now so many years later I don’t remember which those few bangers were anymore. I seriously should have wrote them down. So as of lately, I have been on the hunt to find those mascaras again!! I saw that this mascara has gone viral and I remembered “hey, I used to use that a long time ago!” I had forgotten how I liked it, or if I even did. No harm in trying it out again though!Let me tell you, I was already in disbelief about the price. And the moment of clarity and instant recollection I felt when I realized that THIS was one of my long lost holy grails; I felt like I had been reconnected to a lost love.This mascara is unbelievable. For like $5 you get the most amazing lashes you have ever seen on yourself! I always like to coat and coat and coat my mascara, and usually have to with most mascaras anyways to get the results I like, but honestly you can already see a mega difference after just one coat with this mascara. The image I provided is definitely not only one coat, because I got carried away adding more coats and feeling straight ecstasy while I did. But you can see the volume and length power that this mascara holds. I used the essence false lash effect mascara in combination with the essence mascara primer. I am completely blown away, and obssesed, and won’t use another brand again. Also worthy to mention that I just dropped $30 on Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara, and I seriously prefer this $5 Lash Princess by a longshot.Ladies, this Lash Princess mascara will have you actually looking, and feeling, like a freaking lash princess.
So glad I found this. I am so happy with this mascara, it does exactly as promised.I’ve used a different brand of mascara with the false fibers in the past, but it went way way up in price. I did not want to spend all that money on mascara. So I’ve been doing without for a long time now. Most mascaras do not do anything for my lashes at all. They are very short and sparse. which is why I liked the false fiber mascara I had always used.I saw all of the thousands of great reviews for this mascara, so I figured I’d give it a shot. And let me tell you…I am glad I did! This mascara makes my lashes look long, thick, and full, without looking clumpy or cake-y. The length it gives to my lashes make my eyes look more open, and thus make me more “awake” looking, which I love. The first time I wore this mascara out to work, I had so many compliments on how pretty my eyes looked that day.I am super duper happy with this mascara, and this will definitely be my “go-to” from now on. I highly recommend you give it a try if you are on the fence!
Really good for the price. I’ve been on a natural high since 2020. Natural hair, Natural Nails and Natural lashes. Since I’ve stopped wearing false lashes I’ve been in search or a good mascara. I wanted one that didn’t cost $30 plus and this one is currently doing the trick. I like the fullness and the length it gives my lashes. It clumped a little but here’s a trick I learned. Put a couple of drops of clear eyes or visine or your eye drop of choice. Heck, you can drip some contact solution in it too. Any liquid that’s safe for eyes. This thins it out a bit and then it’s perfect. You can even use this trick if you’re running out and your in a pinch but still need those lashes on point. Bottom line, TRY IT! It’ so cheap, why not?
My new go to mascara. I’m never without mascara. That’s the one make-up I NEVER go without. I’m incredibly picky about how it looks and applies as well. I’ve tried several others over many years and never quite found the “perfect” one for me. I stumbled upon this one while browsing for mascara on Amazon and noticed the reviews so I decided to give it a chance. Especially since it was just $4.99!I’m impressed actually. It applies easily. If you use the thicker part of the wand it creates lots of volume along with length. It doesn’t smudge or flake either. I’ve been wearing it ALL day for several days now without any of those problems. It’s buildable. I give it a few seconds to dry some before I apply again. It gives hella length! I don’t have issues with clumping either. But, I always use an old dry mascara wand to go over my lashes after each application (for any mascara I wear) and that always takes any clumping away if there is any. But, if you apply mascara the way it’s intended (wiggle the wand back and forth as you apply) clumping shouldn’t be a problem.This brand is very similar to L’Oreal telescopic lift in the way that it looks when finished just much easier to apply.My new go to mascara for sure!
Better than Better than Sex mascara. I was always a huge stickler on my mascara, as I always use false lashes so if I don’t have the time to put on falsely’s I need a good mascara. I usually swear by the Better than Sex mascara by Too Faced, and after reading the reviews I decided I’d give this very affordable mascara a try, and so glad I did. If you’re on the edge buy it and I’m sure you’ll fall in love too. I know I can just have false lashes installed, but I don’t want to damage my real lashes or have to refill and so on, but now I don’t have to. This mascara alone or with false lashes does amazing work for my makeup looks. I’m officially sold on a new mascara, after years of buying my old mascara.
Nice but. I really wanted to love this mascara. Seriously. And I did when I first put it on. The brush separated my lashes beautifully, applied just the right amount of mascara. Only needed a second coat on the outside edge lashes (they tend to curl down). Loved how it looked.Until the late afternoon when I looked in the mirror and GASP! I saw raccoon eyes. What is this? Maybe too much time staring at the computer? Too much blinking because I was staring at the computer too much? User error maybe?Second day tried again, made sure to use a bit more powder under my eyes. Did it help? Sadly no. By the late afternoon I had mascara under my eyes.Ok, one last try…. Saturday, no computer work, just errands and lunch. The disappointment I felt could not be described when I got home and saw the mascara under my eyes again.Sad to say but will not buy again. Back to the more expensive mascara.
Surprised. I wasn’t expecting much with how cheap this is but it’s good for the price! I am a mascara junkie, meaning I buy mascara just because I want it or it looks pretty. I have literally tried every mascara you can possibly think of and this one is probably in one of my top 10 for sure. I have only used it one time (16 hours of wear) and it didn’t cause ANY irritation whatsoever. Which is huge for me because of how long I wear my makeup. I can usually tell within the first 30 seconds of application if the mascara is going to be decent or not so take it from me when I say this stuff is great. I have naturally long lashes and this stuff made them look like I had fake lashes on for sure! I only left 4 stars because I thought this was waterproof. But that’s my own personal preference so I just put a coat of my favorite waterproof mascara over top of this and it lasted all day long! So if you’re hesitant on whether or not to buy it, just do it! I bought the black one first and now I’m going to try the brown one because I have issues. Also ladies, don’t forget to use that eyelash curler 😉
bought this on a lark. So I read this review, ( cant remember where right now), but it was some gorgeous actress that was saying this mascara makes you look like your wearing false eyelashes and I thought to myself, uh huh, sure. We’ll see about that. Anyway, the price was so good, in fact I think it was a 2 for 1 thing. Anyway, darned if it isn’t true. This mascara does make your eyelashes the longest ever. It makes you feel a lot prettier and your eyes really stand out alot!
Thick and Gorgeous. Ladies, this mascara makes your lashes look thick and beautiful with just a few strokes. One thing to remember: if it starts to stop doing its job, open a new tube. It lasts nice and long but eventually you do have to open another tube. It’s only $4.99 so no big deal. I buy this stuff on a regular basis, so I always have a spare tube. Try it before you spend $20.00 on some other stuff that isn’t half as good.
The only brand of mascara I will buy now. I always bought maybelline mascara, and it was always at least twice the price of this. Once I switched to this, I’ve never gone back and have repurchased multiple times. If it is very cold, this mascara can come out a little clumpy- all I do is run the tube under warm water if this happens and the clumps disappear. This mascara doesn’t flake off like others I’ve tried and really makes my lashes look so long. This washes off super easy. Sometimes I buy the waterproof version in the summer- it is very difficult to remove, but holds up well to rain, swimming, and sweat.
Good for the price. I’ve tried many different mascaras over the years and just feel like they are all basically the same. All promise to make your lashes longer, fuller, curlier. And in my opinion, that’s basically what all mascaras do. Its very hard to tell if one is any better than the other. But what I like about this one, is that it is affordable. I’ve purchased mascara from department stores that have cost way more and this one, and I feel this one works just as good as those high end brands. So, I wouldn’t say that this one is any better or worse than just going to the drug store and picking up a mascara there, but the price can’t be beat. I will also say that the wand is very nice. I like that it is tapered at the tip. That helps to get all the tiny lashes on the inside corner of your eye and the lower lash line and your lashes do appear to look longer. Again, nothing spectacular except for the price!
My new go-to mascara for life. After trying several different mascara brands, including Maybelline, I finally found my holy grail mascara—Essence! I’ve been on the hunt for something that gives me intense volume and bold coverage without needing to layer on tons of product, and this mascara delivers just that.✅ One Swipe Wonder – The coverage is incredible with just one swipe, leaving my lashes looking full and voluminous. It provides that fanned-out, fluttery effect that I love without clumping.💫 Thick and Defined Lashes – My lashes look thick, separated, and natural—all without the need for multiple coats. It’s the perfect balance between dramatic yet natural.✨ Long-Lasting & Smudge-Proof – I love that this mascara stays in place all day without smudging or flaking. My lashes stay lifted and curled from morning to night, even through long hours or a busy day.Overall, I’m absolutely in love with this mascara! It’s everything I’ve been searching for—voluminous, smudge-proof, and gives me that long, dramatic lash look without the effort. Highly recommend to anyone looking for game-changing mascara that works with just one swipe!
BEST MASCARA HANDS DOWN 👏👍. for somebody who doesn’t like having eyelashes messed with, this is the best mascara I’ve ever bought. I used to purchase the too faced “better than sex” mascara, but in comparison to quality and price, essence is hands down better in the long run.I had a period of using fake eyelashes bc my own wouldn’t have as much volume, and I was never really satisfied with results of other mascaras. I was stuck in a loop because I’d wear the eyelashes, but then I’d lose my eyelashes so I’d continue to wear them. I was weary on this mascara and I thought “this is too good to be true”, and I’m so glad that I made my first purchase because it’s exactly what I need to have the “false eyelash”. it’s not clumpy, it’s not tedious to remove, it gives me volume without going over the top, and it gives a very natural look. now if you’re somebody who tends to go to bed without washing it off first, the next day it will look different because of the mascara staying on overnight, even after washing your face. so my advice is to make sure you clean your face and eyes as much as you can, and then the next day, it’ll be easy to apply and just as you’d like it.I don’t tend to write reviews as often as I should, but this is the truest review you’ll ever read about the product. I’m not sure who discovered this brand of mascara and helped it grow to be so popular, but THANK YOU, YOU ARE A HERO!
Great surprise. I had no idea if I’d like this mascara and I don’t remember why I decided to give it a try, maybe the price. I’ve worn mascara every day of my life, except a handful of times, for 47 years!!!! I’ve tried many kinds of mascaras. Many! This one is amazing! It lengthened my lashes with 1-3 swipes of the wand! It even made my lower lashes more visible, much more than the other mascaras I use. It usually takes me several more swipes of different mascaras to get my lashes looking longer and fuller, so when I accomplished that in record (almost no) time, I stopped and realized this is different! It also leaves my lashes soft. I can swipe up with my fingers and it doesn’t feel like I have mascara on! I am ordering more today in case people spread the word and it sells out! Thank you to whoever makes this!!
Fabulous mascara but not smudge proof for me :(. Based on a copious amount of research and the many reviews of this mascara, I had high hopes that it would be the holy grail for me – someone who has yet to find one that doesn’t leave me with raccoon eyes – a problem I can’t seem to escape from no matter what I try. Not sure if it’s due to the fact that I have very straight lashes and/or the way my eyes are set, but every waterproof, smudge proof product I’ve tried has failed me.Given the price point on this and the fact that many reviewers said the waterproof version was hard to remove, I decided to first trythe standard voluminous and lengthening version since it is listed as smudge proof. I got the black/brown which was perfect for my hazel eyes. I was 100% amazed at how my lashes looked after applying it — have never, ever seen them look so fabulously long, lush and full in all my years of wearing makeup and I’m in my sixties. All I can say is WOW!I was able to go for about 6-8 hours with no smudging but after that it was all over. At the end of the day I took a look in the mirror and saw a raccoon (or maybe panda) looking back at me. Ugh I was so disappointed! I use a light, translucent setting powder on my under eyes to help prevent concealer creases (a challenge for older women) and mascara from smudging but even so had no luck. Now I’ll try the waterproof version and see how that goes. I took one star off for the smudging problem but would otherwise give this product five stars.
