Hello beauties!
I am here today with a review on a product that I have been using for a long time, the "I love extreme" mascara from Essence. I will also talk about the entire cosmetic brand, because in my opinion it is really underrated although it shouldn't.
As I have mentioned in an older post, my lashes are long, but they grow straight and they are not really thick. This mascara was actually a recommendation from my sister. At that time I was using another mascara from Essence, and I was really happy with it, but she insisted that this one would give me false lashes. Who doesn't want that? So I used hers to try it out. Guess what, the next day I went and bought a tube for myself :P Yeah it's really that great.
The tube is quite big, contains 12ml which is a lot for a mascara. And the big surprise is, it costs only 3,45E (~5$). I know a lot of people get paranoid when they hear about the price and they think that this is gonna give them allergies because it's cheap. I'll give you a tip girls, when you pay a lot, you actually pay for the company's logo and reputation sometimes. I do not say that more expensive products aren't superior in many factors, but I cannot stand hearing things like "it's cheaper, so it's worse". Of cource, it won't work for anyone the same, we are all different after all.
Now back to my point: Its concistency is thick and it definitelly worths the name of "volume mascara" which is written on the tube. It makes your lashes big and flirty. They definitely look like falsies. I found that it holds the curve I give my lashes with the curler quite good (for a non waterproof mascara at least). I really love this product and I would definitelly recommend it to everyone!! The only downside is that the wand is HUGE. I mean, really huge. My eyes are big, but damn this wand is really big so you definitelly need to be careful when you apply mascara, otherwise you are gonna get smuged all over :D
I suggest you give it a shot and see for yourself, I do not tend to rave about products often, but this one worths every euro. And even if you happen not to like it, c'mon, it's only 3,45E you won't have wasted a fortune.
Essence is a cosmetic brand based in Germany. It makes quality cosmetics and face/body care products and it provides a really big range of options and products. It has branches in 63 countries (if I am not mistaken) and it doesn't test on animals. It provides quality cosmetics in really low prices, and that's mainly cause of the lack of advertisments.
So far I have hit pan on many blushers from this line,I have been using its setting powder till now and it's amazing, I have bought countless mascaras and eyeliners as well as eye pencils. Not even once did I have a reaction, and I have a lot of friends and relatives who are really happy with Essence both because of the quality and the affordable prices.
In the picture are the products I use currently from Essence. I used to have many more, but you know, I like to experiment with new brands and discover new products. So far the blusher and the mascara are my holy grail products. I am pretty sure you can find an Essence stand at your local cosmetic mall or something like that. In Greece you can find Essence in Hondos Center and some random local shops here and there.
I hope I have covered anything, for ideas, questions and recommendations do not hesitate to leave a comment below ^_^
