Q: Hey i wanna know if this Mascara is worth it and actually waterproof? Like if you go swimming will it wear off and leave marks?

submitted by Madison - 3 years ago
  • A: I've been using this mascara for a while and it's so waterproof that it's almost hard to wash off! it's my favorite mascara and is worth more than its low price. 10/10 would recommend its AMAZING!!!

    submitted bymakeupguru74 - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi - all of the feedback we receive about this product is that it actually stays on almost too well - even when trying to wash it off. We're already working on a special remover for it based on that feedback. Hope that helps!

Q: Do these come with any kind of saftey seal only asking because mine did not!

submitted by Kay - 3 years ago
  • A: I just picked up an order today with this item and was concerned there was no safety seal. Individuals sometimes "test" products in-store - these should be sealed to ensure no contamination.

    It smudged anyway so it wasn't totally waterproof in the pool. And it's hard to remove from the skin below my eyes. I'm old, I don't need drama around my eyes.

    Amazing mascara!

    I have short, blonde tipped eyelashes, and hooded eyes, so that's basically three strikes against me going in. I've tried so many mascaras, and they either don't really lengthen, they smudge, etc. I do prefer waterproof mascara, just cause. So, I found this- waterproof, vegan, cruelty free, and decent price- and decided to try it. WELL. This mascara is amazing!!! My eyelashes are actually visible, they're super long, and there's little to no smudging at all! This has definitely become a go-to product for me. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it's hard to get off. I use makeup remover cloths (not wipes) and while they remove other waterproof makeup, they don't do anything for this stuff, so I do need to use an extra waterproof makeup remover. Otherwise, definitely 5 stars!

    As a non waterproof mascara I would probably rank this higher, however, the fact that it's marketed as waterproof and doesn't meet up to the claims is highly disappointing. Flakes off and smudges on the bottom. Irritating to eyes

    Like This mascara quickly replaced my favorite drugstore brand. Definitely waterproof and I’ve never had an issue with it not lasting or making me look raccoon like on my top lashes. Dislike- for some reason I can’t use it on my lower lashes though! Not sure if it’s the wand but I’m ok with it because I have a mascara that works on my lower lashes but not as good on my uppers. I know that’s odd 🤣

    Ordered online and it arrived without a shrinkwrap safety seal. Now I looked at the Q & As and it seems that's common and the company rep says it's safe. Ew, how do I know it hasn't been tampered with. Adding a shrinkwrap band around it literally costs like .0001 cents. Get it together, to sell cosmetics without safety seals is gross. I returned it.

    I've been pretty happy about Essence products thus far but I was disappointed by this mascara. It looks great for the first couple of hours but I could clearly see it was starting to smudge after that, especially on my lower lashes, and was not flattering. It didn't look terrible but I went with a different brand that cost about the same after using this a couple of times and not liking the results.

    Hi there! We are sorry to hear this. If you find this product has been smudging for you, we recommend trying our Bye Bye Panda Eyes mascara instead to focus on anti-smudging!
