Does it make my lashes more prominent in just one coat? Yes. But it seems kind of dry and doesn't glide on as I'd expect. It's not as easy as just wiping the wand across the lashes and getting coverage, I have to keep brushing here and there with the wand at different angles to get all the lashes. But I'm not a make-up maven so maybe this is how it is with all mascaras. SCOVOLINO – Lo scovolino ha una forma conica piuttosto classica e a mio avviso resta sempre uno dei migliori in assoluto, sia per la definizione che per l’allungamento. Ottimo e funzionale.

Another reviewer brought up an additional (and often underlooked) reason why I ~also~ love this mascara so much—the wand. The original formula has a conic-shaped fiber brush, which allows you to build and extend multiple layers without it flaking, while the Sculpted Volume comes with a tapered brush that coats each individual lash for a more defined and separated effect. Finally, the regular Volume version features a curved applicator which allows you to easily get from root to tip for major fullness, all without losing precision and control. This one happens to my favorite of all the Lash Princess varieties, though I do love and use each of them on the reg. After wearing the Essence Lash Princess False Lash Mascara for a week while lounging around the house, running errands, and traveling to a state with a high pollen count, I can confidently say I put this cult-favorite mascara through the ultimate wear test.INGREDIENTS: AQUA (WATER), CERA ALBA (BEESWAX), PARAFFIN, GLYCERYL STEARATE, ORYZA SATIVA (RICE) BRAN WAX, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, PALMITIC ACID, ACACIA SENEGAL GUM, POLYBUTENE, COPERNICIA CERIFERA (CARNAUBA) WAX, AMINOMETHYL PROPANOL, STEARIC ACID, VP/EICOSENE COPOLYMER, TOCOPHEROL, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, DIMETHICONE, POLYESTER-4, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, SODIUM NITRATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, POTASSIUM SORBATE, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES). The thing that I didn't love about both of these mascaras, was that you had to apply several coats for it to appear. One coat just doesn't look like you put anything on. I am very blonde so my eyelashes need something or you can not even see them. Some other mascaras do the job in one coat, this one took 3, or 4 coats. But, for the price, it was good, which is why it got 4 stars. I would probably just buy the typical drug store one for a couple of dollars more and apply one coat (using less product) and leave it at that, but I decided to give something else a try!

Does the Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara live up to the hype? For my short eyelashes and personal mascara requirements, no. But if you have naturally long eyelashes or even medium-length ones, this could be a good option for you. I use waterproof mascara when I go out and distant run, if I have somewhere to be afterward or before I actually go running, I will have that on. It did not flake or smear when doing that and it is summer and I sweated a lot. In fact, it didn't come off in the shower afterward either. I had to use micellar water for mascara removal to get it off. So it stayed on well. As you can see in the images of me above, I’m using the original Lash Princess False Effect Mascara in waterproofCONCLUSIONI – In conclusione si tratta di un mascara sicuramente soddisfacente per colore, stesura, tenuta, effetto allungamento, scovolino e prezzo) e quindi sicuramente consigliato. TENUTA – Ottima direi, senza alcun dubbio, perchè riesce sempre ad arrivare a fine giornata senza perdere volume e colore e senza macchiare. Qualche grumo lo rilascia ma nulla che valga la pena di essere sottolineato. Ottimo davvero.
