This mascara gives great length and volume on its own it’s even better when paired with a lash primer. I’ve repurchased this multiple times.I used the L’Oréal Lash Paradise for years but hated how clumpy and messy the brush and wand would get. I do not have the problem with this mascara!

Found this mascara about little over a year ago and it has been my go to mascara ever since!I love how I can build huge volume with this mascara by coating lashes on one eye, then the other, going back and forth until I have the desired volume. I've found that going from eye to eye seems to give the mascara a few seconds to set or dry slightly and the volume builds well for me utilizing this process. I have also applied two coats for a less voluminous natural look occasionally.I haven't had the mascara flake or smudge while wearing it during the day, but it does flake or smudge a bit if I leave either on while sleeping - no big deal for me!I use this mascara every day and build large volume most days, yet this product lasts a good 4 months for me! I use the 0.4 Fl Oz tube until nearly completely empty.I feel the price for this item is very reasonable/fair.I find this mascara easy to wash off with soap or facial cleanser and water, going over my eye area twice.Love that this mascara is vegan and cruelty free - makes me feel good about using this product.

Want length but not clumpy lashes? Add this to your make up kit. My lashes are a bit long but you don't notice unless you add mascara. This is my favorite!

Overall, this is a good mascara! It's been my go-to for about a year because it gets the job done without breaking the bank. However, things have been a little bit hit-or-miss.Pros:Non-allergenic, so my skin/eyes didn't get irritatedEasily washed off with makeup remover, so no harsh or irritating scrubbing.Great price for the amount of product in the container.A forgiving mascara that's good for beginners.Layers wellCons:Doesn't hold a curl very well. I have thin, straight lashes, and this is not the most successful mascara for giving my curl. The volume tends to be good, but without curl, it flakes off very easily.Tends to flake---after exercise, or 2-3 hours of normal life, it smudges beneath my eyes and in my corners.Clumps kind of easily---like l said, might just be my lashes, but even after wiping extra product off the brush my lashes feel clumpy and not super separated/defined.Breakdown:While not the best mascara for short, stubby lashes, longer lashes would most likely hold this mascara better. Great for layering/distributing product, but not the best for definition or curl.

Easy to use. Love that its not too thick and clumpy. Also it doesn't dry too fast like other brands.

I love the brush on this, but I found it did nothing to help curl my lashes. I would curl my lashes and usually when I put mascara on, my lashes would remain a little curled, but this just made my lashes straighten out and I would have bad raccoon eyes. It would also only last a few hours before it would just wear off and look like I have nothing on.

This mascara is truly the best, I’ve used it for years and it is still my go to. Makes my lashes look thick and long, no complaints!

One coat on the left, 2 coats on the right. You can’t beat Essence mascara. You can’t find better.
