I have wanted to try out coloured mascara for a while, and was so excited to see that Essence had come out with a range of 5 different colours!

They have:
Green - 01 miss early-greenbirdy
Dark Blue - 02 miss sue blue
Dark Pink - 03 miss mary berry
Turquoise - 04 miss louise turquoise
Purple - 05 miss lila deleila

I finally decided on green and went home to try it out.

The colour is quite intense and shows up well with just one coat. I didn't notice great volume, but I bought it for the colour not for volumising so that didn't bother me.

The colour lasts well and I did not have any fall-out or smudging under my eyes.

I see that you can use it in your hair, but I haven't tried that yet. Maybe when I buy another colour I will, but for now I don't really fancy green hair!

One of the things that I noticed that I really liked is that although I used black liquid liner, when my eyes were open the lashes gave it a greenish hue so it blended in and looked like it belonged.

Pros:
- great range of colours
- lasts well with no smudging
- low price
- bright colour

Cons:
- none that I can think of

I will be buying this in all the colours and definitely recommend it if you want to play around with colour!
