The Drugstore Mascara That Outsold My High-End Favorites
Let’s talk about the quiet winners.
The products that don’t scream for attention but somehow become the thing you reach for day after day.
Essence’s Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara is that product for me. I picked it up out of curiosity. I kept it because it does exactly what I want—with almost zero effort.
Why It’s Worth Talking About
At under $10, it doesn’t look like much. But the moment I swiped it on, I saw a difference.
It lifts. It lengthens. It adds just the right amount of volume—without making my lashes feel heavy or crispy.
Most days, I use one coat for a natural, wide-eyed look. If I’m going for more impact, a second coat builds drama without clumping or smudging. It’s the kind of formula that somehow works across moods: effortless for everyday, bold when you want it.
The Brush Makes All the Difference
The tapered, hourglass-shaped wand gives a lot of control. I can get right to the roots, flick out the corners, and hit the tiny inner lashes without making a mess. The bristles grip well, creating that separated, lifted look I love without needing to comb through after.
If you’re someone who usually ends up with product on your lid or under-eye when applying mascara—this wand might be your new best friend.
Longevity & Removal
This mascara holds through workdays, errands, humidity, and accidental naps. It doesn’t flake, and it doesn’t transfer under my eyes.
But when it’s time to take it off? It melts away easily with a cleansing balm or micellar water. I’ve never had to rub or tug, and my lashes have stayed soft and full even with daily use.
Application Tips from My Routine
-
Curl your lashes first (optional, but the lift is real)
-
Wipe off excess from the wand—this formula loads up fast
-
Wiggle at the base, then pull upward for max separation
-
Let it dry fully before applying a second coat
I’m always curious about what makes a product stick in someone’s routine. For me, it’s a blend of consistency, comfort, and a little surprise.
Lash Princess brings all three. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do, but here we are: clean lashes, bold results, and a permanent place in my makeup drawer.
