Essence - I Heart Extreme Mascara

Pro's: increase lashes
Con's: not waterproof therefore it does smudge.

I only use it on my upper lashes. I apply 1 or 2 coats.

I would not recommend for beginners

The product is dark black and has a creamy texture and has an extra-large plastic brush that provides volume. The mascara container is designed in a cool pink with black lettering which makes it look really girly which I love! It's really an attractive packaging with all the details printed on it

The wand provides an easy job to apply it on the lashes. The formula is not too thick or runny, with 1-2 coats you can have darker, lengthier and well separated lashes. However, if you put too much product on your lashes you might end up with clumps

The mascara is too heavy, it feels almost like nothing on lashes. It is not waterproof or smudge proof also it doesn’t really give extreme ‘crazy’ volume

I received this product in the Essence Advent Calendar and have been using it ever since! My previous mascara is just sitting on the shelf now...

I LOVE Essence and their products hardly ever disappoint. The 'Extreme' part of the title speaks for itself after application :) The lashes are curled, slightly lengthened, darkened and almost look like false lashes afterwards (But not as artificial looking, way more natural)*

The applicator is large and fatter than usual, but I do like how it applies onto my lashes :)

The tube is nice and large and so it should last you a very long time, and the price is super affordable for the quality :)

To avoid clumping I just lightly run a tissue over the applicator to remove any excess product :)

I really like this product and will definitely recommend and buy again :)

I've used a variety of the Essence Mascara's for years! All they're mascara's are amazing, very long lasting, very very effective and gives you the false lash look. This one specifically I love because of the application brush. With the bigger brushes, I often get mascara on my eyelids but with this one application is very neat. it is very affordable too ! Especially if you're a student like me.

This mascara is my ride or die item. I always have it with me, always have it on and always ready to share the item with ladies who want "look at me" lashes.

I've been using this mascara for about 4 years already. I get asked all the time if my lashes are false, and the next question would be which mascara I'm using. People cannot believe the price when I tell them.

I'm blonde, and my lashes are white. I battled for long to find a masacara that provided that extreme volume I was looking for, but since I've purchased this, nothing else even comes close.

The I Love Extreme is an extremely affordable product, which makes it even better. Do not expect this to last as long as high end mascaras. It tends to crumble off your lashes after a while (and gets stuck in your eyes), and if used a lot (as I do) it won't last you much longer than 1 and a half month BUT that being said, this is still the best mascara for those extreme volume lashes!!

Bought mines from takealot and absolute love love love! It worked for my skin and is a good drug store mascara, the result is good, doesnt leave my eyelashes dry like most mascaras do nor does it look artificial, it gives a natural look on my lashes

I am a die hard fan of this mascara, its name " I Love Extreme " speaks for itself. I love long lashes and i love a mascara that can do just that for me. for the Price it exceeds my expectations. Essence as a brand has mastered the art of delivering quality at the right price.

I am personally a fan of essence products, they are great quality and affordable.

I have naturally long thick lashes and I love to add extra volume and length for that false lash look. The "I heart extreme mascara" for me is a great buy. The products gives volume and extends lashes and they dry separately rather than clumpy. I found that the product goes on with ease and the brush is versatile and flexible for the shape of my eye.

I did a trial of applying 2 to 3 coats to see if the lashes would clump or if they'd feel heavy but they still felt light and full of volume. The colour is truly pitch black which is an added extra for me, as I love wearing a the essence gel black pencil liner and the mascara finishes off my look.

On the down side I found the mascara tends to clump and dry out in the bottle when its almost finished, I was unsure if it was because I pushed too much air into the bottle when i pumped the wand in or was it the make up itself that dries out towards it end.

But on the upside that was always a sign that I Needed to buy more before I ran completely dry and had to naked lashed out to work.

As a make up artist I tend to look for quality products and affordability for my clients with still achieving results and thus far essence has lived up to their brand.

I would definitely recommend this product to all and to try out other essence products too....


I heart extreme mascara .... Its a lash thing....


Xoxoxo

MISS WISS....

I use it every time and it has wonderful effect on my lashes. The brush work wonders on any lashes.
The price is affordable and it is a mascara for days

A must have when it comes to mascaras!!

Great lengthening, great volume and the best brush i have ever used!

Priced amazingly well, and just overall your moneys worth!

This isn't my favorite mascara honestly, but it's a decent one! I love that it's pitch pitch black, it also gives my lashes crazy volume and lengthens it. I do have to disclose that this mascara does dry out quickly and then it's just thick and clumpy on your lashes, so make sure to add some eyedrops to it to avoid that. Great price, very affordable.

I Love trying out different mascara's, and for a while now I've been using different types of Essence Mascara
This week I used the Heart extreme Mascara by Essence and like always I am very pleased! This is definitely one of my favorite essence mascara's, because I absolutely love this type of brush, my lashes look longer and fuller!! its affordable and its a long lasting product that is easy to use. Every women needs a good mascara, I love essence Mascara

I have short, thin, flat and straight eyelashes...basically the worst kind and this mascara does wonders for me. It is intensily black, makes my lashes look fuller and longer and the price tag is great of course. I do have 1 issue though. After the 1st initial use it started clumping up like crazy at the base of my lashes. The wand just takes out too much product from the tube. The wand cleaner in the tube needs to have a smaller opening so less product is removed with the wand.

It takes some work but once I have worked out all the clumps and excess product from my lashes, they look great, thick, long and kapowwww! Which I hardly ever get from my mascaras. This is a great product! I just wish it wasn't as messy to work with.

Heart extreme mascara by essence is a must have to every woman looking for budget saving mascara with mega lash benefits. I have natural eyelashes and with two coats of essence mascara my lashes have that London factor vavavoom!

If there is 1 makeup item that every girls needs in her bag, then for me it’s a good mascara. Now we all know that the best products out there are often times the most expensive, so as a struggling makeup artist and working mother of 2 teenage girls (meaning permanently broke) I’m always on the lookout for great products that are really effective and, well for lack of a better word, cheap!

I was so thrilled when I discovered the Essence I love Extreme Volume Mascara. As a makeup artist, this is probably the one makeup item that constantly needs to be replaced, so the awesome yet affordable mascara not only gives my lashes much needed volume, but even my pocket.
The smooth thick formula, really applies very well to my lashes and gives it much needed length and volume. My only criticism of this product is the bristles of the wand are a bit too long, which might make it a bit difficult to curl shorter lashes. Other than that, I really love that the bristles are plenty and spaced fairly close together, thereby not clumping the lashes together.

All in all, I give this mascara 2 thumbs up!

Don't believe me? Check out my before and after pics on my blog www.creatiffmakeup.blogspot.com

I have tried my fair share of mascaras, including ones by Clinique, Estee Lauder, Lancome, YSL etc. Yet I always ALWAYS come back to this one. Don't let the cheap price tag fool you - if you want false lash effect mascara, this is the one for you!

My own lashes look pretty sparse and short, and although the ends are very blonde, they really aren't anything to write home about. I've tried so many brands of mascaras that boast everything from volume to length to unicorn fibres that extend my lashes and nothing has worked but this. Two coats of this mascara and my lashes are long, thick and nicely defined, and people ask if I'm wearing extensions! It doesn't flake off or smudge during the day, and it wipes off easily with makeup remover or wipes!

Will always ALWAYS repurchase!

P.s. if your mascara is looking a little empty or too thick/dry, squirt a few drops of saline solution into it (saline eyedrops/contact lens solution). Swirl your wand around inside to mix but DON'T pump the tube as this will just draw air in and your whole action is pointless. Mascara is like new!

what an awesome product with no burning eyes but extreme big lashes :-)

What i like:
1 goes on smooth no clumps
2 immediate impact EXTREME length and volume
3 no running off during the day and no itchy eyes.... NONE!

A lengthening and voluminous mascara by essence that puts the expensive brands to shame. I love mascara and can't do without it ,I've tried many leading brands and decided to give essence a try since I've been reading positive reviews. I have not been disappointed, for such a low price this mascara lenghtens and adds volume to my lashes superbly. Definitely a keeper.

I bought this mascara after seeing it blogged about and I LOVE IT. It is so affordable at around R45 and gives you lashes that are full of volume and length. I usually wear this as an every day mascara because it is so affordable and it measures up to my more pricey mascaras. I have recommended it to friends before though who have not loved it so much so I would definitely say it is for someone looking for length and volume.
