Essence Get Big! Lashes Mascara

If you read yesterday's post (here) you'll know that instead of spending money, I'm trying to shop my stash and review what I've already got!

Today I want to show you one of my sister's favourites, the Essence Get Big! Lashes mascara. She talked me into buying it after I was complaining that my lashes aren't as pretty as hers, and this was apparently her secret! 

This particular version of the mascara is made entirely for volume and curl! I'm not one for using an eyelash curler, as I'm extremely lazy and can never be bothered, so I love a good mascara that will curl your lashes for you and keep that curl! 

That's one big brush!

The brush is curved so that it can create a curl in your lashes, and it's a big brush so that it can get you big lashes!

Now, let's have a look at my lashes to see how it goes!

My lashes with no mascara! They haven't been curled either. 

My eyelashes after using Essence Get Big! Lashes mascara.
I used two layers.

I did find the consistency to be slightly clumpy, as you can probably see, but it's nothing that closing your eye over a tissue won't fix. (I will usually do that anyway, to avoid any mascara marks on my eyelids or under my eyes!)

Aside from the consistency though, I absolutely love this mascara and can see why it's one of my sister's favourites! It really does give you big, curled lashes that look fabulous! Almost like false lashes, in my opinion. If you're not looking close up, of course!

It's a very long lasting mascara, too, and I find that it doesn't smudge or come off too easily, although it is not waterproof. 

This is a fantastic mascara for under $10, and you can buy this from Target or Priceline. I would definitely recommend this!


Have you tried any Essence mascaras before? If so, what did you think?
