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

submitted by sunshine - 3 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!

    submitted byGTO Mama - 3 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

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

submitted by targetlover - 1 year 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!

Q: my mascara came completely unsealed - no plastic wrapper. I have never seen mascaras to be sold this way- this seems entirely unhygenic. Is this hwo it was meant to be sold?

Q: What is the best eye makeup remover to use with this (lotion, cream, etc.)? I have sensitive eyes and find this is still on after using my eye makeup remover. Thanks!

submitted by GTO Mama - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi GTO Mama! We would recommend trying a micellar water. Apply it first to a cotton pad or round, and then use to remove the mascara. They are typically very gentle and work well. hope this helps!

Q: is this waterproof?

submitted by Scorpius24 - 4 years ago
  • A: this one is not waterproof but we do have a waterproof version. the waterproof version has blue accents on the packaging instead of the green accents on this one and should say waterproof at the end of the product title. hope that helps!

I do not get the hype with this mascara, it clumps SO BAD. I have nice eyelashes and this makes me look like I have 4 clumped eyelashes and it’s impossible to brush out. Super disappointed

I don't like that it is not individually packaged. I think the mascara runs the risk of being tampered. I prefer my mascara to be fully sealed. With that said, it's a great mascara. Easy to use and build up. It isn't too wet or too dry. It's perfect for my persnickety lashes that don't always hold a curl. I greatly appreciate the price point.

Clumps! I’m trying mascara again after a year of false eyelashes. This mascara is so heavy, it weights my lashes down. Then flakes by evening. I had used this brand in the past, not sure if the formula changed.

I have tried so many different mascaras before, and this one takes the top. It is super affordable and greatly lengthens my lashes. No fall out during the day and easy to take off. Last all day. I love this more than many of the expensive brands I have used in the past

Hands down my absolute favorite drug store mascara! I’ve tried so many inexpensive and expensive brands, and always come back to this one. It doesn’t clump, it goes on smooth, and it doesn’t irritate my eyes. You can’t beat it for the price!

Clumps in a bottle ! I have decently full lashes and was just looking to add a little length. This mascara made them clump so badly that I couldn’t even comb it out with a spoolie. And it was a nightmare to remove.

Takes forever to dry, and gets all over your face while you wait. My least favorite part however is the extreme pain/melting feeling when you get anywhere near an oven/stove!

NA - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
These are my favorite everyday go-to mascara! The formula is not dry, and gives a huge difference in length, it can clump but it isn’t as bad as other mascaras creating a clumpy mess, be sure to shake before opening and scrape some product off the side of the bottle to prevent clumping because it picks up a lot of product. I’ve found this mascara to also hold curled lashes for most of my day which is huge for me! Also removes easily with soap and water or regular make-up remover. This is a STEAL for the price! The only con is that this DOES flake off throughout the day, especially in the winter! It can get frustrating when the little flakes get into your eyes AGH and it always happens when there isn’t a mirror around! This usually happens to me past the 8-hour mark! Other than that this is an AMAZING budget friendly mascara giving you that extra length, color, curl hold, and clump free! I’ve recieved compliments on my lashes with this mascara! Though sadly I’ve noticed a quality change lately, making it flake off more, I really hope they’re able to keep it the same product I love from 2017! Hope you found this review helpful! <3
