Essence has an amazing variety of mascaras at very affordable prices. I previously used the volumising mascara and the curl mascara. These mascaras were great but I wanted a mascara with a smaller wand so it could get to my lower lashes and my smaller lashes.

The wand on this mascara is great. It's small and gets to every lash. It does not make the lashes stick together and coats them individually, creating longer, thicker and defined lashes. Sometimes, I use another mascara over it just to make my lashes seem longer and more voluminous.

However, it is quite drying. After a couple of hours, the mascara is quite dry and sort of 'flakes' off. Other than this, it's a good mascara for the price and it is great for lower lashes.
