Very good value, easy to get in the US through Ulta and I'm told some Targets. About $5 USD. I got actual compliments on my eyelashes from coworkers while wearing this (AND I wear glasses) however,...

My favorite mascara right now. It is very wet, and lengthens more than any other mascara that I've tried. If you don't like wet mascaras, you won't like this. Inexpensive and super cute packaging.

First off let me say I love Essence makeup. They're easily one of my favourite makeup brands. I own almost the whole collection. This is one of the few products from Essence that didn't work for...

This mascara gives length and volume to my lashes but I can't say if I really like the look all that much. It's not downright clumpy but my lashes do look kind of like thick spider legs after the...

Wanted to like it, but it's too wet. No matter how long I leave my eyes open to let this mascara dry after application, it smears on my lower lids. Who wants to wipe their undereyes off after...

The packaging for this product was really cute and I got 1000 shoppers drug mart points for buying it so really that's the reason that I tried it out. I love Essence as a brand but this mascara...

Does not really work for me. Maybe I bought old one, or one which was already opened, because it dried so fast. It did not give false lash effect. I would say it did not give any effect. I guess...

This is great!!! After a viral eye infection (gruesome) I have decided to take eye hygiene much more seriously and threw out all my makeup. (To be fair, a lot of it was ancient). Replacing the lot...

Really surprised with the positive reviews - if you wear contacts or don't want your mascara to smear, stay away! If I touch my eyelashes it literally looks like I pressed it onto an ink stamp pad....

Oh my, this mascara really smudges and flakes a lot!!! I had high hopes for it and was so excited to try it. After a couple of hours, I was black under my eyes and had flakes all over. I have never...

Hm, I am not convinced. Bought this after I read the raves here. Pros: - does not sting in my eyes - blackens my lashes (but that's about it, either I am spoiled by my current go-to-mascara by...

I don't usually do reviews but felt compelled when it came to this mascara. It's a nice black black, doesn't smudge on me and makes my usual non-existent looking lashes simply gorgeous. That is...

One of my favourite mascaras! I don't really have a problem with the staying power as it doesn't flake off or smudge on my lower lash line (which is a problem for me and my oily skin). The only...

This is a cheap mascara that gives me long lashes with a fair amount of volume. It is comparable to more expensive mascaras imo. I didn't have any issues with clumping, it holds a bit of a curl but...
