Purchased this in my birthday haul last year. The Essence brand is really affordable and cruelty free. I have purchased a few items now because of this and intend to continue to do so in the future.
This is the second mascara that I have used from the brand. Watermelon coloured packaging, was particularly drawn to this one as it is supposed to curl and lift lashes. I have learnt within the last month how to actually use curl type mascaras so I feel this aided the application process. The brush is tapered at the end with thicker bristles towards the outside. I have found that this particular brush style is very suitable for my eye shape. I hardly ever have inner eye smudging while using this compared to other mascara wand types.
It does dry down very fast so you if like to do multiple applications you will want to be fast. Except for the dry down, it looks very nice with 2 coats, lashes are curled, there is volume. I use this everyday for my work make up and for the price as well I really can't complain.
I like this a lot more now after having used it for the last month compared to when I first started using it. I would repurchase again in future.
I love Essence! However this mascara I found to be quiet hard to apply mascara. It's large brush is great! They product itself, came onto me quiet clumpy. Looks great on a night out, but not for a all day/ work look.
Me being a Flight Attendant, I just found that this product clumped in the wrong places and smudged everywhere. Was disappointed I couldn't use it for work. Might need to try the other mascara's next time.
