Essence I love extreme volume mascara





I have long thin lashes so for the past few months I have been on a hunt for a good volumizing mascara. Since mascara has a very short shelf life I did not wanted to buy something too expensive.

 This mascara caught my eye when I stopped by the essence makeup stand so I purchased this cutie praying it would live up to all that it claims on the packaging

Price: pkr 590

Quantity: 12ml




Packaging:

It has such a fun purple color fat tube. I really like how it stands out in my makeup bag
The wand is long and has a fat brush with tiny rubber bristles
One thing which I disliked about the essence products is that they are not sealed which means anyone can just open it swatch it, well hello bacteria and dried out product!!!




About the product:

The formula is dry unlike the Maybelline mascara which is quite wet. This mascara is not waterproof and can be removed easily with soap and water it has a faint scent (which I can’t detect) which vanishes after application 
The short bristles grab each lash and dump decent  amount of product on them however too many coats of this mascara can make the eyelashes look clumpy

My opinion:

it adheres to the lashes well and gives them volume and dramatic length when I wore this to a family occasion everyone thought I was wearing false eyelashes lol. For the price this is a great volumizing and lengthening mascara



I did not experienced any smudging nor flaking for 8hrs while wearing this mascara

You might like it;

If you have short sparse eyelashes
You like dramatic eyelashes look
You are looking for cute and affordable mascara

You might not like it

If you are looking for a waterproof mascara

My ratings

4out 5

The products can be purchased from beauty arena, daraz.pk and also from essence counters nation wide
