Overall a good mascara
I judge mascaras as I’m a mascara “whore,” and I bought this brand when it was on sale. I’m a fan except for that it doesn’t come off as easy as I would like it to.

Wonderful product
I have used many name brand mascaras in the past with minimal satisfaction. This one, however, is a wonderful product! My lashes aren’t terribly long but this mascara makes them look so much fuller without clumping. I’m sold on this particular mascara as being exactly what it is advertised to be.

Makes eyelashes look thicker
From day one, this mascara has been a lot clumpier than I’m used to but someone would have to be pretty close to see that vs just seeing thicker lashes. I guess that’s how it achieves the look of thicker eyelashes. I’m satisfied with it.

I wish it helped them curl some BUT…
this mascara helped my already long lashes look even longer and pop so well! There was VERY little clumping of the lashes and of the little product specks that occur so often for me which I LOVE! I don’t know why since other people don’t really notice them when not analyzing your make-up but I have a personal vendetta against those little balls of product. I will say like most products watch your hands and your eye positioning just after you first apply it as it will still transfer rather easily then, but this mascara lasted through a long, sweaty af Ashnikko concert at the Roxy in ATL (if you know the venue then boi you knowwww the heat). The few nights I’ve used this have been late ones so I’ve only taken a wipe or two to my face before passing out – I scrubbed hella hard and it removed a large majority of it leaving only that tiny little bit of racoon staining so common with black eyeliner and mascara pairing. Volume I wish I could give a 4.5 on, I was hoping for just a little bit more with it being a false lash effect and was also low key hoping it would help curl as my lashes like to stay flat as a board, but perhaps I’m just cursed to HAVE to use a curler. Anyway I definitely recommend this, it’s a great buy and quality especially for the price!

One of my favorite mascaras
It lasts me a while and the quality is nice. i like that the brush keeps my lashes from sticking together. i prefer to purchase makeup for everyday use through amazon because its more cost friendly than my local drug store. highly recommend.

Natural lift
This gives a lot of separation, and you can apply multiple coats without it looking like you’re wearing heavy mascara, almost a feathery look. It’s a nice, light feel. It doesn’t hold the curl as well as many others, but it doesn’t flake off into your eyes or onto your face.

Great everyday mascara
This is my everyday mascara; it is great for the price. I have learned an important “secret” – discard the brush that comes with it. I saved a brush from my favorite high-end mascara, and that elevates this mascara to the next level!

Genuine Max Value – Minimum Cost
I have been trying various brand $$, $$$ name mascaras for the past 50 years hoping to find a mascara that really worked for me. It wasn’t until on a whim I ordered and tried essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect that I found the one I have been searching for all this time.Wow! It is everything the advertising promises – voluminizing, long wearing, non-clumping or flaking, lengthening, . . . and non- irritating to my sensitive eyes! Started by ordering one, and have already ordered a couple more. I can’t say enough good things about this mascara, but will say, “try it.” It is genuinely maximum value for minimal cost!

A best seller for a reason
I came across this item browsing Amazon best seller list. This mascara exceeded my expectations. Its formula added impressive length and volume to my lashes without clumping. The wand’s design separated and coated each lash evenly, creating a defined and lifted look. I loved its long-lasting formula that resisted smudging and flaking throughout the day. Despite its effectiveness, it was surprisingly easy to remove at the end of the day. If you’re in search of a mascara that delivers both drama and ease of use, this one is a standout choice.

Not much better than other mascaras
Did a decent job of spreading out my puny lashes. Like every mascara I’ve ever tried, it clumped on my lashes in places.Q-Tips helped fix that somewhat. Came off easily using makeup remover wipe. Didn’t make my eyes itch or make me want to rub them.

Good budget mascara
I tried this after seeing all the hype and reviews. Good for the price and everyday use but not quite comparable to a luxury brand. A little clumpy and dry but okay overall.

Was overfilled or something
This is my go-to mascara, it is easy to take off and not too difficult to put on. My only complaint is that it must have been overfilled, because the first few uses it had big globs all over the wand and I couldn’t really use it I had to wipe it down.

Needed something hypoallergenic
A lot of mascaras hurt my eyes which are pretty sensitive. So I opted for this because of the reviews and marketing lol. I found it to clump pretty easily, though I will say it does make my lashes look thicker and stand out more.

Best mascara for the price I have found.
Over the years I have tried so many mascaras. I was a buyer for cosmetics as well. This is one of the best mascaras I have used in some time. This is my second tube. I will purchase more in the future. Coverage, water resistant, black. I would like to see a version in brown.

I have always used the better than sex mascara but had to make some cuts in my budget so I decided to try this one. It does not provide the length like I wish it did but the volume is amazing.

I purchased this after seeing a lot of social media hype.
I do like it a lot, particularly the price. It seems to thicken better than most I’ve tried. My only criticism would be that it does leave a lot of clumps. I don’t think I’ve tried a mascara that doesn’t, but this one seems to clump a little more.

Small price but mighty lashes with no irritation.
I like the price along with the awesome lashes it provides. I have tried very expensive mascaras only to find they irritate my eyes. However this doesn’t! So thankful I have finally found one of the best mascaras on the market. Try it, you will love it!!!

One of my favorites so far
This has been the best mascara I’ve used since L’Oréal voluminous. I will say a primer first might fix the problem of it drying out but it stay moist all day. I also think I might need a new tube. No flaking and does not look stiff or clumpy

Works better than some
I got this mascara because of the hype about it. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I’m sold 100% that I found the last mascara I’ll ever use in my life, but for the price,, it’s a great buy. My lashes looked a little darker and longer but not extreme or anything.

Love
Please keep in mind everyone is different and will be more sensitive to products. updated- After I wrote this review I believe I had an allergic reaction. my eyes started burning more and more thought the day and kind of getting hazy. Luckily I had pain and antibiotic drops from a previous injury. I really like this mascara lol, which is why I kept the good review and I may try again in a week before returning. highly recommend, but keep and eye out for those symptoms. original review- I really love this mascara. As long as I let it dry good, It doesn’t smudge. I don’t wear face powder, just blush and I put bagbalm on my face and that is greasy. Other mascaras would be all over the place because of that, but not this.

this makes my eyes itch.
Update on review;I am noticing that the mascara makes the eyelashes look longer now that I have used it more. And it only seems to irritate my eyes if I don’t take it off before bedtime. So I’m changing from three star to four-star.Putting on the mascara was easy enough. It did seem to flake a bit, but did not smudge that I noticed.However, both times I’ve used it so far, my eyes itch before the day is over. I don’t have that problem with regular Maybelline.I do like that it comes off with water, therefore not gummy in eyelashes.I’m giving it a 3 star because of eye irritation. It may not do that with some.I did not notice that it made lashes any longer than other brand I use. But perhaps it did.

It flakes
This specific bottle is my go to compared to the purple. I like the brush on this one better. The results are amazing with the right prep. You have to wipe the brush off and use a setting spray or it absolutely flakes off. The other day I didn’t use enough setting spray and had to keep wiping under my eyes. I won’t be repurchasing, will need to go back to my old falsies bottle or fine something new

Great, for the price!
I’m using this a low cost alternative to Clinique mascara, which is my absolute favorite and I’ve used for years, but is 4-5 times as expensive as this. This darkens my lashes nicely. It’s a bit dry, so I don’t know how long it will last. And it leaves little glops on the tips of my lashes that I have to remove. Other than that, I’m happy with it and will buy it again.

Love it but…
I love this mascara. It makes my eyes pop like no other. BUT if you are one of those people that cannot figure out how to de-clump. Do not do it. It’s very messy/goopy. I like to use an eyelash wand/brush after each use to straighten them out again

Great results, but flakes a lot
I love how this mascara makes my eyelashes look and it’s lightweight, so I don’t feel like my eyelashes have that stiff feeling when I wear it. However, I noticed after I started using it that I felt like I kept getting stuff in my eyes. I realized the mascara flaked a lot and would get into my eyes and I would have a lot of flakes on my cheeks after a couple hours of wear.

Can be clumpy, but I heard about a trick that helps
I like the volume and length I get from this mascara, but it can be clumpy at times. I read somewhere that if you warm up the tube by holding it in your hands or against you body, the formula becomes less thick and is easier to use without clumping. It seems to help! For the price, it’s a pretty good mascara!

Best mascara I’ve bought in a while!
I do like this product very much. You can use with a light, natural touch if you want to simply darken your lashes (mine are very blonde and hard to see). But if you want the glam, it will give it to you, almost looking like false lashes depending upon how you apply. Start with a powder brush with just the smallest amount of translucent powder on it and dust your lashes. Then come back with a light hand and get right down to the base of your lashes. You may find you don’t always have to follow with eyeliner if you do this. Then hit the 2nd coat and va va voom! Extra length and thickness and no false lashes required. I approve! Hope you like it.

Easy on-Easy off!
Tends to be a bit drier than others, but coverage is quick and easy-Does flake a bit occasionally-But the removal is super easy! I already have very long lashes so I cannot attest to it making them look longer! Will continue to purchase. Overall rating a four because you have to move quickly in application due to texture!

I tried this for the first time because it had good reviews and is so inexpensive. I was surprised with the product but I have to say that it was noticed the first time I wore it! Eyelashes look longer! For the price of this I am shocked at how great it is! I love the look of the container, too! I will continue to buy this.

Not Life Changing, But Works Well
I kept seeing this product all over the internet saying that it is the most amazing mascara you will ever use.I would say it is right on par with other brands of this price. I usually use Maybelline Colossal which is under $8 most places. I don’t know that this is better than that. The wand is very basic so it doesn’t help create any shape.So far it has not been very flaky, although it seems drier than most mascara I’ve used.All in all, I would say it is decent. I’m not totally sure if I will buy it again, but its not bad for the price. Actually, for the price it is pretty great.

Did what it says but smudged easily
Bought this after seeing all the TikTok’s about it. While I liked it and felt it was good for the price, it smudged more than my normal mascara and therefore I didn’t wear it as much.

Lots of length, no volume, good product overall
This is a good product, but I love the other mascara from Essence —Curl & Volume—much more. This mascara has excellent length to it, but adds zero volume. I am glad I tried this mascara but will continue to buy Essence Curl & Volume mascara instead due to my thin, long eyelashes. Not my preference but I recommend Essence mascara to friends, family, and coworkers all the time 🙂

It’s not that great
I really wanted to love this mascara, as I usually purchase Benefit BAD Gal Bang mascara and it is pretty pricey. But, it didn’t happen. It’s okay for the price, but I didn’t see anything near a falsie look like my normal mascara gives me. The brush was painful, very sharp bristles. I think I will stick with my Benefit unless something as good comes along.

Couldn’t Ask For More!
Better than L’Oreal Paris Original, which I’ve bought for years, but the last couple of tubes were disappointing – nothing in one, another was too thick. So I tried this. It’s not “fume-y”, removes easily with face wash and doesn’t drip or smudge during the day. The brush is fabulous – I can do as many coats as i want. This is my new favorite mascara.

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.

Really like this mascara and the price is great!
So far so good with this super affordable mascara! I was hesitant at first, I have other mascaras that I use, but the reviews were honest and good so I figured I’d give it a try. It’s excellent! No clumping, and I’m able to layer it on if I want a more dramatic effect. I have very fair light eye lashes and this highlights each lash, with a lot of length, too. A nice touch is the handle has a pretty raised silicone design on it, which not only looks cool but it makes for an easy grip on the handle when applying.Arrived very well sealed in shrink wrap that matches the product, so I felt safe using it – good quality and nothing mysterious about its source.These are so nice that I got some for stocking stuffers, makes a nice Easter basket addition for an older teen, too. I plan to order more for myself as well.

Best
I just received this product today and I thought I’ll just go ahead and try it out, I was shocked at how good the product was and I didn’t pay that much for it! My lashes are very light and they’re hard to see. I have bought a lot of mascara that claimed it would make your lashes look longer And paid more than what I did for this product, I thought I would just try it out and see if that was another tall tale, I was shocked at how well, and how long it made my lashes you could really see the difference using this. I hope That it last longer than it looks because the brush does look a little dry. But if it does, I will gladly buy this again.

Why pay more?
For years I spent a considerable amount of money on mascara by Lancome. Then I figured out it was only mascara, so why was I spending so much at Macy’s Department Store? I then purchased either Maybelline or Cover Girl mascara at my grocery store. They were just as good as Lancome. Then I found this product (quite by accident) on Amazon for much less. Hmmm. Seemed just like all my previous brands for significantly less money. Going forward, I will purchase this mascara again.

Fave mascara
This mascara is amazing! I used to use the better than s*x mascara religiously but with using mascara as much as I do, it was too expensive to keep buying it so I switched to this one because of the reviews, and I haven’t gone back. Its just as easy and smooth to apply as any other pricier mascara, I apply it a certain way so it doesn’t get clumpy and I don’t really ever have to deal with the spider lashes (iykyk). Try this mascara! It’s affordable and does its dang job, and well!

OK For The Price
Mascara is pretty much the only makeup I wear and I even stopped using that when I started having to use medicated eye drops twice a day. Then I just decided one day I wanted to try mascara again so was looking for something very budget-friendly and non-waterproof that would be easy to wash off and not irritate my eyes. This seemed like a good bid so I ordered the green label “false lash effect” tube. I’ve been using it about a month now and don’t have any strong feelings for or against it, it’s just kind of an “ok, it will do” situation because the price was right.Does it make my lashes more prominent in just one coat? Yes. But it seems kind of dry and doesn’t glide on as I’d expect. It’s not as easy as just wiping the wand across the lashes and getting coverage, I have to keep brushing here and there with the wand at different angles to get all the lashes. But I’m not a make-up maven so maybe this is how it is with all mascaras.As for washing it off, it takes more effort than I’d like as it needs more than just water to remove. Water alone just leads to raccoon eyes so I’ve taken to applying a tiny bit of moisturizing body lotion (I learned from experience a while back that oil takes off mascara) to a cotton ball and gently wiping my eyes with that after I’ve washed with just water.Overall, I don’t have any particularly strong love it / hate it feelings for this product so am giving it 4 stars because it’s an OK product for those who don’t want to spend a fortune on makeup.

Best cheap mascara ever
bought this mascara on Amazon after reading reviews of cheap yet effective mascara (because I had to cut corners on my cosmetic spending). This mascara has blown my mind and expectations out of the water. It’s super easy to apply, makes my lashes look thick and fanned out and super cute and sexy all at once. The fact that it costs less than 5usd is beyond me.

Nice product, but starts clumping quickly
I like this mascara quite a bit, especially at this price. Only issue is that it seems to dry out and start clumping after about a month. Most higher end products tend to last longer. So do I purchase this once a month or month in a half with the cost adding up, or spend a similar amount in three to four months for a higher end product I only have to purchase once. Hmmm …

Works really well for the price!
I have been seeing this recommended everywhere so I decided to try it..and I like it! It doesn’t clump (someone suggested warming it up before you use it, and that makes a ton of difference). It makes my skimpy lashes look good! I’ll be repurchasing this and not going back to high end mascaras-the only benefit with the more expensive ones that I notice is that they are a bit easier to remove, but this is absolutely worth the money!
