BATTLE OF THE MASCARAS, PART 2
I’ve got 2 more mascaras from the brand Essence and one of them has become my daily GO-TO.
In case you missed part 1, I’m going to be testing and reviewing mascaras all year for you and I’m starting with the viral mascara brand from Amazon.
One of the reasons I wanted to test this brand is because every one of their mascaras is UNDER $5. Their original mascara (the one that went viral) has over 200,000, 5-star reviews!
Today I’m comparing and reviewing the ESSENCE | Bye Bye Panda Eyes Tubing Mascara and the winner from Battle of the Mascaras, Part 1.
First up is the Essence | I Love Extreme Volume, Crazy Volume Mascara. When the mascara is called “crazy volume” you expect major lashes and you definitely get it with this mascara.
Pros:
The wand is silicone and the bristles are very short, which allows the bristles to get to every little lash.
It’s a nice, dark black mascara.
It was easy to remove at the end of the day.
There was no smudging or transfer throughout a full day of wear.
Cons:
To get my desired volume I had to apply multiple coats, but even with multiple coats, it didn’t look gunky.
Overall, this is a great everyday mascara. It wears really well, I had zero transfer or racoon eyes and it lived up to the name!
Since the winner from part 1, was such a great volumizing mascara I decided to compare it to ESSENCE | Bye Bye Panda Eyes Tubing Mascara. This mascara is interesting because it uses “tubing technology” to achieve it’s smudge proof promise.
Pros:
The wand is a dense bristle volumizing brush and it lives up to its name.
The mascara creates a tube that encapsulates your lash instead of just sitting on top of it, therefore there is no smudging or transfer.
It’s a nice, dark black mascara.
It was easy to remove at the end of the day.
You can achieve beautiful, long, lengthened, and voluminous lashes with just one coat or can amp up the volume big time with two coats!
For the past few years, I’ve rarely worn mascara on my bottom lashes because it smudges - I put this mascara to the test and after 14 hours of wearing it on the top and bottom lashes I had ZERO…..ZERO transfer, flaking or smudging.
Cons:
I have ZERO cons for this mascara!
Overall, this mascara has become my favorite of favorites. I like it better than even the bigger brand names. And at a $5 price point, you can’t beat it!
For this battle, ESSENCE | Bye Bye Panda Eyes Tubing Mascara was the clear winner!
