Hi Darlings, today’s review is going to be on the Essence Get Big Lashes Mascara Curl Mascara.
At this point, we all know what I think about Essence mascaras: most of them are good, but they dry out super quickly which makes me wonder if they are really worth it but that being said, I love it when I find a good one!
In case you are new here, in a mascara I personally want it all: length, volume, and it has to hold a curl. So if you are like me, what I like might suit you. If you are not, you might find something you like, even if I don’t.
Get the Essence Get Big Lashes Mascara Curl Mascara from Ulta for $3.99.
PACKAGING
The packaging is classic of mascara but slightly bigger.
The wand has soft bristles and it’s slightly curved. I usually like this shape; I find it really easy to use on both top and bottom lashes.
FORMULA
The formula has quite a liquid consistency and very black. If you are not careful, it tends to transfer onto your lids when you apply it. Once it dries, it doesn’t smudge or flake off.
EFFECT & APPLICATION
I always do two coats of mascara to get the best results.
I think this mascara is very bland. It doesn’t do much for my lashes. It doesn’t really add volume to them, nor I find it particularly good at holding a curl – which according to its name, is what it is supposed to do.
As you can see from the pictures, the effect is simply not there. My lashes just look more black. If anything, it makes my lashes a little longer, but I simply don’t need that. They’re already long.
LASTING POWER
This mascara lasts all day on me without flaking or smudging.
I find it fairly easy to remove with micellar water. I don’t have the black halo around my eyes when I wake up.
RATING:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 10/10
- Application: 7/10
- Packaging: 6/10
- Effect: 6/10
- Formula: 6/10
GRADE: C-
Sadly, I don’t like this mascara. It does nothing to my lashes apart from making them black and very long, which I don’t need. Since the lasting power is okay, I would maybe recommend it if you like a more lengthening mascara. My mom likes it so I wouldn’t consider it a flop; it’s just personal preference.

I would totally agree with your rating! If I had one makeup to only use it would be maskara, this brand doesn’t look too promising though.
Too bad it doesn’t work well…! Your lashes are so long, I wish mine were as long ! ?
Thank you! Yeah they are long but I wish they had more volume x
This mascara is actually really cheap and I would probably give it a try if I would see it in a shop. Thanks to your review I will not get it, I have to say that it really doesn’t look very nice on the lashes. It makes them look quite heavy and unnatural. Great information, thanks!
Thank you so much for reading xx
it’s awesome you have courage to post things you didn’t like. Essence products do not work me too which is a little sad considering price and coloring. By the way, pretty photos
They are normally really nice, I just don’t like this particular one ?
It looks so cool and it looks like a nice make up collections. I will definitely share this with my friends thanks for sharing this product with us.
I’ve used this mascara before and found that some days I liked it and some days I didn’t. And even though I did like, I don’t think it’s one I’d repurchase over and over. It’s great value for money though 🙂

I feel you girl, you should try the green one I’ve reviewed last week, that one is GOOD!
I often shop Essence products, mainly because I do not do makeup often so I buy cheap brands only to avoid trowing out a lot of money when they expire. Usually like this wand shape as well, very easy to apply mascara with it. ☺️
I’m happy it works for you, I hope you’ll love this mascara more than I do xx
It’s a shame this didn’t quite hit the mark and didn’t have the impact you wanted but I really value honest reviews and found this super useful
