REVIEW: ESSENCE LASH MANIA RELOADED mascara

I recently HAULED some ESSENCE cosmetics . A NEW item from that haul is the ESSENCE LASH MANIA RELOADED MASCARA. I hauled this from the NEW IN TOWN collection from Essence. 

• It IS NOT a waterproof mascara. It has PLASTIC SPIKY bristles (DOES NOT HURT).

• As you can see from the picture, it has 6 SEPARATE columns of bristles.

• The bristles TAPER DOWN (shorter on the ENDS), which ALLOWS you to get the shorter lashes.

HERE is a picture of my lashes BEFORE the mascara/ or curling 

My lashes POINT DOWN, and WILL NOT HOLD a curl on their own. They are quit SHORT as well.

HERE are my LASHES AFTER ONE COAT of the mascara (I CURLED my lashes BEFORE applying the MASCARA)

• The FORMULA is VERY WET (I PREFER THIS over DRY)

• I wore it for about 6 HOURS and there were NO SMUDGING UNDERNEATH my eyes

• IF you do NOT wait for it to dry and CURL your lashes, it MAY transfer a TINY bit on your eyelids

• KEPT my CURLS- DID NOT use eyelash curler throughout the day

PROS:

• DOES NOT smudge

• KEEPS eye lashes CURLED - I was VERY IMPRESSED- MOST mascara that ARE NOT waterproof DO NOT KEEP my lashes curled. SOME WATERPROOF mascaras WEIGH my lashes down. THIS DID NEITHER. 

• Easy to take off

• Provided adequate LENGTH and VOLUME (I would say MORE LENGTH than volume)

• ONLY $4.99 CAD

CONS:

• Has a VERY WET formula

OVERALL: I would STRONGLY recommend this MASCARA, even if you do not like the wet formula, you could wait for it to dry up a bit. The price is GREAT at $4.99 CAD, AND it LENGTHENS AND VOLUMES as well as HOLDS CURLS. 

I HOPE they decide to keep this in the permanent collection as I would REPURCHASE this product in a heart beat!
