Q: I purchased this multiple times and it was completely sealed with a wrapper. This time there is no wrapper why are some wrapped and some unwrapped?

submitted by Lynn - 8 months ago
  • A: Me too! I came on here to try and figure out why this was the case, as both of my mascaras came without a seal. I think I will return them. I’m just not comfortable with it or convinced someone didn’t open it previously.

Q: Does it smudge on people who wear around eye moisturizer? Thanks.

submitted by sunshine - 5 years ago
  • A: Hi Summer! The essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara has a long lasting formula that leaves lashes free from flaking, fading or wear. Hope this helps :)

  • A: it is super clumpy for me and I never wear any other makeup just mascara and it smudges for no reason and I never touch my eyes so idk what it is but yea

    submitted byJordyn - 2 years ago
  • A: I've not had that issue and I'm wearing moisturizer plus sunscreen under my eyes. I don't think you'll have any issues with this. I would suggest keeping a lash comb near by as it can go on clumpy a bit. Overall, really good for a budget mascara!

Raccoon eyes = not a good look

Terrible. It looked great upon application but left dark circles around my eyes within a couple of hours of wearing. It wasn’t hot, humid or raining and I wasn’t rubbing my eyes. I’ve never had mascara just come off for no reason before.

Opened tube sold as new.

No safety seal indicating that the product is new and unused. The idea that I just bought someone's returned or used mascara is disgusting. It is going in the trash. I bought this brand before from Amazon and the top was sealed with shrink wrap. Order from Amazon for your own safety.

No plastic seal!

I have used this mascara before and it seemed to come with plastic wrapping over it so you know it had never been opened before but this tube I got didn’t come with any wrapping on it! It could have been used and returned! I hope it was just a fluke and they still wrap it in plastic wrapping.

Worth the hype

I have always heard that this $5 mascara was so great for the value, and it did not disappoint! My lashes aren’t clumpy and the formula wasn’t too wet where it gets all over my eyelids.

Goes on very cute, smudges and flakes quickly.

I love how my eyelashes look with this mascara when it is fresh, it curls my eyelashes and makes them look so nice. However it starts flaking and smudging very fast. It stinks because it’s my favorite with how it makes my eyelashes look, but I think I’ll have to go back to an old brand. I just can’t stand the flaking. :(

Love the coverage, not the raccoon eyes

I love the look of this mascara, but by the end of the day, it is all smudged under my eyes. Oddly, it’s hard to remove from my lashes. I also don’t feel safe using this brand anymore because they don’t use any packaging—anyone can open it in the store and I would never know.

Trendy but unimpressive when trying it on

I think its ok for young kids to use but for me it doesn’t align with my standards.

Racoon eyes

A good mascara, but it does not stay in place. Bummer ad the price is great and it layers well without clumping. Maybe I just have oily eyelids?

Used to love they changed formula

This used to be my go to mascara because of the great value and also it didn’t smudge or flake. Well now, although it still gives great length its smudges and flakes.

Just okay

It’s just okay- I heard rave reviews on Tik Tok so I picked this up and it didn’t impress me. I already have long lashes and it just acted as a basic mascara, I can’t imagine how it would have performed for short lashes, definitely not worth the hype. It also smudges like crazy and is difficult to remove…It’s not bad for $4.99 but I wouldn’t repurchase.

Not sealed

When I receive this in my order, the mascara was not sealed. Why would anyone put this in a box and ship it to a customer? Target, you’re better than this.
