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.

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.

Tiktok fail?

Got this because of the rave of it in Tiktok. I have straight asian eyelashes so without using eyelash primer prior to applying it leaves me with spider lashes that are heavy and leads my eyelashes to droop down. If you're gonna go for it with eyelashes like me def prep with eyelash curl and eyelash primer but to be honest, would be better off finding another mascara to do the job.

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.

Heard great things

People.wete buzzing about this so I brought it. What's all the buzz about exactly??? It was cheap enough but this is just a run of the mill 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.

Not worth the hype!

So I brought this mascara to see what all the fuss was about

Initially, it was awesome and made my lashes look amazing and long, but after literally 10 minutes I had full on panda eyes going on!

I brought another one (they’re so cheap) to see if I had just brought a bad batch, but no, it was the same too.

By all means, give it a go as it’s so cheap, but I absolutely don’t recommend it for all day wear, it flakes and smudges all under your eyes ):

Tips: Bring makeup wipes out with you if you’re using this!

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.

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!
