essence | Lash Without Limits Extreme Lengthening & Volume Mascara (02 | Brown) | Volumizing & Lengthening | Vegan, Cruelty Free & Paraben Free

Mascara is easily my favorite makeup product. And I have many, many favorites, from high end to drugstore. I especially love Essence Lash Princess (green) so when I needed a new mascara and saw this, I had to try it, based off the brush shape alone. If you've ever used Bad Gal Bang, this is very reminiscent of that, but with a slightly curved brush. My 10 year old daughter uses it for special events here and there and has no trouble applying it to her shorter lashes on her smaller eyes. It lasts well without flaking, and is super easy to rremove. I LOVE the length and separation it gives. No clumps.

This mascara is such a great product. It adds a lot of volume without making my lashes look clumpy, and the brush separate really well, the only thing is that it can smudge a little after wearing for a few hours, especially in warmer weather. But for the price, it's very good.

I’ve always worn black mascara and thought there was no point to using brown, but recently I realized I might like a softer color that still gave my eyes definition and helped me look awake and put together. So I decided to try brown mascara for the first time ever. I picked this one after reading lots of reviews.I was so pleased when I put it on. It is so pretty and much more natural looking than the black mascara I’ve always worn. It’s really perfect when you are going for a more natural look but still want the definition.I was hoping for a tubing mascara that doesn’t come off until you wash it off, like my favorite Thrive brand mascara. This one flakes off faster and you might want to reapply later in the day. But for the price and for how very pretty it looks, it’s totally worth it.

I thought I had found my favorite mascara until I tried this! I absolutely LOVE it! It gives so much more length to my already long lashes! It doesn't clump and just a few coats is enough for that natural look!

I feel like I get panda eyes (or raccoon eyes, whatever you want to call it) about 50 percent of the time when I use this mascara. So it's definitely not long-wearing or long-lasting. ...Maybe I'm somehow just more prone to that happening (oily skin?) or maybe it's the Florida humidity (I'm certain it surely doesn't help), but who knows. Also the wand is crazy flimsy (like, why?)- it's next to useless. So I feel like I'm always having to go in with a spoolie or some other kind of tool to help me out when I'm trying to apply it. With allll that being said I do actually like the mascara itself. The color is lovely and it has a decent consistency/formula that I can work with. It looks pretty when I put it on. I love brown mascara because I like the natural 'my lashes but better' look (I swear black makes me look like an actual camel LOL) and it's sooo hard to find a nice, true brown out there. However the downside is that I go and look in the mirror after I've been wearing it all day and surprise(!) it's completely smudged itself and panda-eyed me. And I look stupid, not to mention. It doesn't do it every time, so maybe more for like "light wear" such as if you're sitting all day in a climate controlled environment then maybe there's no reason to worry. But unfortunately far from a winner though imo.

Holy mackerel! FINALLY!! After hunting, literally, for DECADES, I finally find a mascara that works for me!First of all, it is a true BROWN color!(Black/Brown…really? I think it’s masquerading as just a regular Black!) B/B doesn’t work at all for someone like me who is a very light, true blonde, with extremely fair skin.Second, it doesn’t clump.Third, it washed right off when I needed it to.Fourth, it went on easily. I have issues with my right hand shaking. I had no problem putting on this mascara. And since it doesn’t clump, I didn’t end up looking like Tammy Faye…!I don’t normally use caps when typing, but I did this time to reflect how I really feel about the product, how excited and pleased I am with it! I am 72 years old and have been searching everywhere for a true brown-colored mascara. This one looks perfect and natural with my complexion.When I was a young adult, Maybelline made a true brown, I think. At some point in time, brown mascara morphed into black/brown everywhere.With my coloring, it just never worked, regardless of high-end pricing.I am absolutely THRILLED with this product! I can’t say enough about it!

Works great! This stuff stays in place through weather and sweating! No bleeding or smudging.

Outstanding product for the price. Does wonders for my lashes! The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because it does smudge throughout the day but not a terrible amount. Other than the smudging, it's wonderful. Want to try the one in black as well.
