Let’s talk about the formula first. Its consistency is thin just like a glue mixed with water. It says gel mascara but the consistency is nowhere close to a gel one. It smells weird.

When I apply it to my eyelashes it almost drips due to its thin formula. For few seconds it gives my lashes a lengthening effect but as soon as it dries up my lashes get back to normal. It separates the lashes. It doesn’t look like I’ve applied something. This was a major disappointment for me.
I also used it on my brows and it effectively tamed them. I’m not sure if this mascara is like that or I’ve got the defective product!

Pros:
Affordable price
Tames eyebrows well
Has a wand that separates and lengthens lashes

Cons:
Consistency is thin and nowhere close to the gel
Smell isn’t pleasant
Doesn’t give any curling, lengthening effect to eyelashes.

Final Word: This gel mascara didn’t work for me. Don’t expect any volume from this mascara since it’s thin but it tames eyebrows well and makes a good brow gel but not a mascara. I think someone with thick lashes can only make it work so it’s not really recommended from my side!

This product was in the range of good but not the best. I felt like after spending some time on my make up, it wears down a bit throughout the day which doesn't make sense since I rarely touch my face. So to the back of my make up drawer it goes, where it has not been touched after a while.

So if you're going to go out for a short while, I would suggest this product but other than that, I would highly recommend their (essence's) new tinted brow gels.

I remember purchasing it for R20+ from Dischem, and if you could put a little more money, you could get a better product.

This product did not do much for me.

I didn't notice any difference while using it besides my eyebrows feeling wet.
For some people this product is amazing, for me it just did not work.

i would still recommend it to people for its rave reviews and if it does not work, at least it didn't break the bank.

I think this is very well priced. Perhaps my brows are just too unruly, but I find that they do not gel my stray hairs down at all. They are however good for the corner hair above your ears. I love to just gel those hairs with the Essence brush and gel and they seem to stay put.

So I bought this product a few months ago, possibly out of curiosity, and because I'm a big Essence fan... Unfortunately it does little to nothing for my lashes. My lashes are really short, this mascara doesn't really make a difference in their appearance. I tried using my eyelash curler with them two days ago, and then I could see a slight difference, but only after apply 3-4 coats of the stuff. I haven't tried it on my brows yet, but I'm assuming it would work better there. Give this a miss unless you have really long lashes that don't need definition or added length. Otherwise stick to the regular black mascara.
