Amazon fans are raving about a budget £4 mascara that is said to make your lashes look “lovely and long” while “holding a curl.” Essence's £4.31 Lash Princess mascara, which is said to rival high-end makeup brands such as Lancome, Mac and Benefit, has more than 200,000 five-star reviews from Amazon shoppers, with many claiming it feels more like a luxury product than a budget one.
The £4.31 Amazon mascara features a special, conic shaped fibre brush that provides lashes with length, dramatic volume and gives a false-lash effect. It lengthens eyelashes and boosts volume by coating the lashes with an intense black colour while separating individual lashes with precision.
The budget £4 mascara has more than 200,000 five star reviews on Amazon's website, with thousands of glowing reviews left by beauty lovers. With that in mind, I tried the £4 Amazon mascara out for myself to see if it can really compare to versions from popular brands which can cost more than ten times the price.
