Hey everyone!
Today, I am back with another review from Essence. I love most of the products that I’ve picked up from this brand. Most of the products have been a hit for me while some are a miss. Today’s review is about a waterproof mascara from Essence and this is the best mascara I’ve ever came across. To see how, read the review.
Price: AED 15
Product Description:
Extreme volume now in waterproof! The large fiber brush coats every lash for splash-proof volume. Opthalmologically tested.
My Experience With Essence I Love Extreme Volume Waterproof Mascara:
Packaging:
Essence has a wide range of mascaras and their packaging kind of gives a very funky appeal. It comes in an ink blue color bottle and the name and other details have been embossed in pink. The front hole or the opening of the bottle is quite narrow and it’s easy to kind of dip the wand in and pulls it out easily without any fuss. I’ve used few types of mascara with thin holes where the wand always got stuck and I had to apply little pressure to pull it out. Overall the packaging is good, sturdy and functional.
The Wand:
I absolutely love its wand, as the bristles of it are very thick. This wand has been specially designed to deliver the voluminous effect to the lashes. I am going to secure this wand for my other mascaras, as I quiet loved its bristles and the way it functions. But you would have to be a little careful while applying the mascara as the size of the wand is big and it may mistakenly interfere or spoil your other eye makeup.
How it Functions:
It’s a gel-based intense black color formula that claims to be waterproof but doesn’t live up to its claim. When I tried to wash my face with the mascara on it smudged badly onto my face. So this definitely fails the “waterproof” test. This mascara is a big no for summers, as it would smudge easily in hot dry weather. When I first applied this to my eyes it curled my lashes and added a nice volume to the lashes making it look voluminous.
It does lengthen the lashes and gives you a false lash effect. It takes few minutes to dry but by the time it dries it transfers beneath my eyes in case I blink. It made my eyes look pretty but then again I closely looked in the mirror and noticed that the formula is a bit sticky.
It got stuck to my eyelashes and joined the lashes together. It felt wet and started to flake afterwards. It also pulled down my lashes after a while and that looked pretty bad. I feel for this particular mascara it is important to curl the lashes and move ahead with the application otherwise it will weigh your lashes down.
I had high expectations from this mascara as two of my family members already use this and I got one for myself after hearing from them. It does make your lashes look pretty but I am going to skip this one for the cons mentioned below.
