Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara Review

royal sister! there’s a fabulous addition to the family of lash princess mascaras in black. the special, conic shape of the fiber brush provides lashes with length and dramatic volume as well as a false-lash effect. and just like her sister, the packaging of the drama queen is decorated with a gorgeous evening dress – this time in black-mint. princess(ence) deluxe!

A bit overhyped but still good for the price

I've seen so many YouTube videos and beauty bloggers rave about this mascara so I was excited to find it at Farmers one day (it's usually sold out).

While I do like it, I would not say it is my favourite mascara. I find it smudges underneath my eyes and I would not use it as a bottom lash mascara. I think it's very comparable to the Two Faced Better Than Sex mascara in its effect so if you like that, this could be a cheaper alternative.

I only ever need to apply one coat. It is quite a thick consistency so is prone to slight clumping. This mascara is best suited to people who want volume and thick lashes. If you like a natural, very separated look, you might want to skip this product.

Tips: Don't wear on bottom lashes!

Stings your eyes

I came across this brand and of course because of how cheap everything was, I wanted to try it out. I picked up this mascara for about $7. I really like the packaging of this mascara however that is all I like of it. I found that after a couple of hours of wearing this, it would sting my eyes and it was so painful that I only tried it a couple of times. Wouldn't buy it again.

My lashes look like falsies!

After hearing about this mascara online, I had to give it a go. It was so inexpensive and easy to find at my local farmers.

The packaging is adorable, mint green and black with 3D accents. The brush has an interesting shape, it is quite long but the end is still tapered enough to allow precise application.

When I apply this, I curl my lashes first, and I also make sure to wipe the brush off. Otherwise, you can easily apply too much product and end up with transfer on or below your eyelids and clumpy lashes. This is one downfall, but for the results of this mascara it is worthwhile.

My lashes look like falsies when I use this mascara, they are so long thanks to the fibers and the curl is held in place. Throughout the day, I get no transfer or flaking, which is ideal. This mascara is really difficult to remove though, micellar water doesn't quite cut it, so I don't like wearing it all the time.

For the price, and the results, this mascara is great. It is definitely worth giving a try, I would purchase it again despite it's downfalls.

Less is More

I think it's a decent mascara in a pinch because of the low price but it is a bit thick which makes my lashes clumpy if I'm not careful. The formula dries to quickly in the tube and that makes the 'clumpyness' harder to control especially with such a big brush. It does give my lashes more volume but I stick to one layer. Less is more with this mascara.

Tips: Wipe some of the mascara off the wand on a tissue before applying to avoid clumpy lashes.

My favourite Mascara!

I found this to be absolutely worth the hype. It's affordable but actually gives me the result that I'm looking for! The wand is really good on this product and one coat is all you need. I think it really does a great job at adding volume and making my lashes appear longer. I found that this did not smudge throughout the day and it didn't flake onto my face at all, which has happened with other drugstore mascaras. I will buy this again when I can, last time I checked it was sold out at Farmers as it's very popular! But worth it if you can find it!

You can’t beat the price

I tried this mascara after seeing a couple of recommendations on YouTube. I was so excited to see it available at my local Farmers and even more excited by the price. I paid about $8 on sale and it was worth every dollar. The best thing (apart from the price) is the wand, it’s slimmer than most affordable mascaras and really does coat even the smallest lashes. It definitely lengthens the lashes but doesn’t add much volume. I’ve bought this as a gift many times and all the feedback has been great. I have very watery eyes so do find it does smudge a little but if that’s not a problem for you then you won’t get a better mascara for the price. There are 2 other mascaras in the range so I am definitely keen to try them out.

Good and cheap option

this Mascara works really good with layering on top of a non-waterproof Mascara. it's not clumpy and stays all day. it comes off at the end of the day with a makeup wipe or oil. it also makes my lashes nice and black. it doesn't add much volume so if that's what you are looking for this one probably isn't the best option for you :) all and all, it's a nice daytime or casual Mascara that is a cheap option!

Great quality for price

This is hands down one of the best mascaras I’ve ever used, and so cheap! I found it gave me great length without clumping.

The best

This is the absolute best drugstore mascara I have ever tried. I've tried others from similar drugstore brands, but none of them come close. This one makes my eyelashes look amazing!! I have naturally long lashes anyway, but this just makes them look even better. It's black, doesn't smudge or flake like so many mascaras I've tried. It also doesn't give me spider lashes!! I'll forever purchase this mascara.

Panda eyes

I tried lash princess after i could not find miki cosmetics volume mascara anywhere in NZ. I'm always looking for affordable beauty products that work. But this is so overhyped, it melts so bad I avoid applying it to my bottom lashes.
