essence | Volume Stylist 18Hr Curl & Hold Mascara with Micro Styling Waxes | Cruelty Free - Black

I usually wear Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara but it is super expensive. So I decided to take a chance and go with this, I figure with the price I couldn't go wrong. I was blown away by it. To me it is even better than Too Faced. If you love thick, full lashes that could pass for false lashes then this is the one for you.

This stuff is actually pretty amazing! I’m picky with my makeup and this made the cut! I wouldn’t say it curls my eyelashes, I use an eyelash curler but this does help to hold the curl. It lasts all day and when I sleep in it it’s still in place in the morning. It seems to be just as good as a high end mascara!

Pros: I look for fast thick one coat application and a curl that stays up - I have stiff lashes. This will hold a curl even without curling lashes first. No shrinking later.Cons: Harder to remove...I prefer just water and soap removal but this requires more...I have oily skin and it DOES smudge under eyes. :(

I tried this product after seeing some reviews or it working miracles. Lol. However, the formula is too wet for my straight lashes and causes them to become pin straight no matter how much time I spend curling them and carefully applying the product.If you don’t have stubborn, straight eyelashes like I do, then you will probably like this product.

Hands down my favorite mascara. I've tried far more expensive brands like benefit, tarte, eyeko, ect. None are nearly as great as this one. It's easy to apply and it keeps my stick straight lashes curled. It lasts all day. It does smudge a little but for $5 it's totally worth it. Also I just use water and my microfiber wash cloth to remove. Super easy!

My favorite mascara E V E R! I look like I have falsies on! Ppl ask me all of the time about my lashes... I combine this one over the top of the purple tube (volumizing).... this combo is amazing! I have tried MANY mascaras.... from $5-30.... this is my favorite. And ..... the best part is that’s its very INEXPENSIVE.... so I replace it monthly! Win win!

Mascara arrived with a broken seal. The wand has bent and missing bristles. This item is clearly USED. I suspect it might even be the exact same used item received by another customer who previously posted pictures. Disgusting. I'm going to throw it away. Hopefully that will break the cycle and the next person who orders will actually get a new mascara, though if I were you I would not risk it. Personally, I will be going to a brick-and-mortar to find unopened product.

I waited so long for this to be in stock so this was such a let down. The brush is awkward, it has a flat side on it for no reason so it's a waste of space. The mascara itself clumps as it goes on in globs and the only way to get it unclumped is to take it off. And it flakes. Terribly! It was in my eyes the whole time I had it on.. It does hold a curl and the handle on the wand is nice but other than that nothing about it is recommendable.
