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

submitted by sunshine - 4 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!

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 - 7 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: Is this mascara longwearing? I have oily skin and dont want it to rub off under my eyes.

submitted by targetlover - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi there! This is a great mascara for length and volume but does not specifically have a long wear claim. I would suggest the waterproof version of this as it does not budge!

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.

So smudgy!

Smudgiest mascara I’ve ever used. I’ve been trying it for a month, hoping it was user error but it continues to smudge badly all day. Every time I look in the mirror it’s worse!

Great for the price!

It gives both volume and length, if you are on a budget it gives you all that you need. I probably will purchase the waterproof one because it does melt off onto you eyelids.

Absolutely Amazing for the Price Point

Works surprisingly well for the price point! I was a little bit worried about how well it work work, but my lashes were the longest and most clump free they'd been in a long time! If you are looking to save money, and want your lashes to be on point, you should definitely try this!!

Bone Dry

Mine was bone dry upon arrival. It was brand new and had not expired yet so it doesn't make sense. I didn't want to risk buying yet another one to run into the same problem, because this was my first time trying it.

Not into it

I really wanted to like this mascara because it’s clean and highly rated but it literally slides off my eyelashes and leaves me with eyes that look like I just finished crying.

I fully understand why this went viral.

i saw this product go viral and was immediately interested because i’m CRAZY about big, thick lashes and i needed something for the days i didn’t want to do a full face. this mascara did that and so much more. I also started using the lash serum by grande lash MD and it’s been absolutely incredible so that compared to this mascara has changed my eyes like permanently (in a good way lol!)
