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!

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.

A dud, sadly.

On my search for an amazing drugstore mascara I decided to pick this up. The price is what enticed me, as well as the cute packaging. I really like the green design on the black. The brush looked like the type of brush that I like as well.

I am quite picky with mascara. I like my mascara to separate my lashes, I am not a fan of my lashes looking clumpy. I thought that the brush looked as though it would do a good job at separating my lashes. Unfortunately I was wrong.

This is scentless and very, very black - which I like. It also doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes which is awesome. However, I really dislike this mascara.

Firstly it is a super thick formula. It almost feels like tar being coated on my lashes :( Also this is a really wet formula - so you have to be careful when applying it and you must let it dry before doing anything in case you blink and it smears everywhere.

This does tend to flake just a tiny little bit when I wear it - though this isn't as bad as some other mascaras. It isn't the easiest thing to remove, either.

Overall I would skip this. It makes my lashes look like a few giant clumps - which is something I don't like. I won't be repurchasing this.

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!

Clumpy thick lashes

I would have to say this was probably one of my least favourite products of 2017. I watched rave reviews and thought this would be my go-to affordable mascara but alas it's just another overhyped product.

My sister picked this up for me for AUD$6-7. It came completely sealed in plastic so you know it hasn't been tampered with. It's not the prettiest packaging, it reminds me of children's makeup - tacky and cheap but if it performs fantastic then I could care less.

Unfortunately this was a dud for me. I was rather disheartened when I saw the conical wand; it was saturated with product. I could easily wipe off the excess but there was still product inbetween which I felt affected how it applies. Despite being quite a wet formula I found that additional coats just created clumpy lashes and it gave me that dreaded "did-not-take-my-2-days-old-mascara-off" lash look.

It definitely added thickness to my lashes but I wouldn't call that dramatic. I didn't notice too much added length either. In terms of longevity the mascara held up well and I didnt notice any flaking or smudging. But this is not enough for me to repurchase or recommend to others.

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!

Disappointed

I like to watch YouTube reviews before I go out and buy something and I researched the 'Essence lash princess false lash effect mascara a lot before I ventured out to get it. I heard nothing but glowing reviews and so I was excited to purchase it. I purchased it at an affordable price as essence is a very affordable brand. I am not impressed with this mascara, it just clumps on my lashes and has major fall out. There are mascaras around the same price range that I would rather purchase to be honest. So overall wouldn't recommend.

Insane volume and length

The mascara comes packaged in a thick black tube with cute designs in mint green rubber on the lid. I was impressed with the feel of the packaging given this is such a cheap product, as a lot of detail went into its presentation.The mascara wand is nice and large, which makes it easy to achieve super long lashes with just one quick swipe on the lashes. However, I don't use this for my bottom lashes due to the large wand side as its too awkward and the product is too thick and dramatic for bottom lashes. The formula is quite thick, so just one coat is enough; any more and it starts to clump together. This provides impressive results; super long lashes that look false, and really good volume. This is a bit slow to dry so can be easy to smudge if you blink too much. This lasts really well throughout the day, and isn't too difficult to remove with makeup remover. I'm really impressed with how well this performs for the price, it performs better than far more expensive mascaras. It truly delivers lashes that look like you've applied falsies. I've had many compliments on my lashes when wearing this mascara, and have had friends think I'm wearing falsies. As it is a cheap mascara, more care needs to be taken it application to get it to work for you, but this is a great gem and I'd happily buy this again.

Tips: Apply just one coat to prevent clumps. Avoid use on bottom lashes for a more natural effect.

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.

A great buy

For the last month I've been using the false lash mascara and I was shocked that it stayed on in this heat, I also went swimming and thought I would have panda eyes but I didn't. It can actually be hard to get off. Con.. The wand is big and everytime I try to put it on my bottom lashes I end up with it on my under eye area. Other than that I really like it. It was only $7.45.

Tips: Only do one layer to avoid clumping and be careful doing the lower lashes as the was is a bit too big.
