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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Value for money

I would compare this to the CoverGirl exhibitionist but I rate this slightly higher only due to price. It's very volumising. It can be slightly clumpy so if you hate then maybe not for you but I love it

Essence is a super affordable brand, which is also vegan and will forever amaze me! This mascara definitely gave me "false lash effect" that it said it would. The shape of the brush also allows precision of your application which is super helpful too. I cannot fault this one :)

Great Mascara

I have tried thousands of Mascaras, had lash extensions and worn false lashes and I was bought this for my birthday, I love it can’t believe the great price compared to some of the expensive brands that don’t do half the job.
