New $5.00 Mascara Obsession (!!!!!!)

Okay so- last week one of my best friends told me about this Reddit thread surrounding the Essence Lash Princess mascara:

Can’t believe this mascara was only £3.30! Sorry for the shocking picture quality but this is the Essence Lash Princess mascara and I HIGHLY recommend it. from MakeupAddiction

Obviously, as you can guess, we FREAKED out and decided we needed it immediately. Except it seemed as though every single person had also been alerted of this thread because everywhere we went it was sold out. I’m not kidding. We both went to multiple drugstores around Toronto and it was nowhere to be found. Panic set in fast and heavy.

Luckily, I found two left and bought them both for us. And guys, this mascara is AMAZING. It literally makes your eyelashes look like the girl’s above. It gives you length, volume and thickness all for $5.00 (insert praying hands/crying face emoji here).

This mascara can also look really natural with just one or two coats. I found that three coats immediately elevates it to a more dramatic look and four coats looks like the above picture. You have to be careful though because it can go from gorgeous, full and dramatic to spidery, thin and clumpy within a coat so apply accordingly 😀

Overall, you NEED this mascara in your life. It is so affordable and works so so so well. Every time I wear this bad boy I got so many compliments and questions about what mascara I’m using or if these are actually my lashes. It has easily become one of my top mascaras and I will definitely be repurchasing it. Good luck hunting! ❤
