Sadly, this is a huge disappointment to me seeing as how I’ve raved about every other essence mascara ! This mascara promises volume but in order to see that you have to layer and layer it on some more … even then it’s not as impressive as it should be ! I love my other essence mascaras but this one is barely likeable!


I had to layer it on so much in order to see volume that when I was washing it out my entire face was messed with mascara lol and urghhh !

I bought this out of curiosity (and the price was really cheap :), and was kinda disappointed. I love the big brush as it makes for better application and it really does thicken and lengthen lashes quite nicely. The let down here is that I don't like the quality of the formula. I felt that it clumped and was extremely flaky. I wear contacts so to keep getting bits of mascara in my eyes was beyond annoying, not to mention to have a constant trail of black dots on my face was irritating. Not a fan

Being the Super freeby bunny and fanatic that I am, could'nt wait to get my hands on the review goodies, so rushed off to the post office as soon as I received the tracking number. there I sit on my bed as excited as can be, trying out the NEW Mascara that was going to change my life for the better...Just kidding

Upon my findings:

-the BRUSH definitely did live up to it's name (BIG) and long, the consistency was not as wet as I would have thought, was a bit dry - not sure whether this was due to the packaging process though.
-It DID NOT add any volume to my lashes, however in my poinion it added length instead
-One has to keep re-applying if you want any volume at all as it dried quite quickly
-Gentle on the lashes / eyes ( I have quite sensitive eyes and did not tear up, no burning, etc.)
-Lives up to it's claim "Reaches the tiniest lashes" definitely true!!!

Would I re-purchase - No, it didn't quite do the job for me....
