Amazon’s Affordable £6 Mascara with 200,000 Five-Star Reviews Outperforms Pricier MAC and Benefit Options

A budget-friendly mascara available on Amazon is creating quite a buzz in the beauty community, with some claiming it outshines premium brands like MAC, Lancome, and Benefit, which can cost as much as £30 or more. With over 200,000 five-star reviews from Amazon customers, Essence’s ‘no clump’ mascara, dubbed Lash Princess, is redefining expectations for quality in a wallet-friendly product.

This mascara is designed to deliver “lovely and long” lashes that maintain a perfect curl. Its unique conical-shaped fiber brush provides length, dramatic volume, and a false-lash effect. It accomplishes this by expertly coating your lashes with an intense black hue while meticulously separating each individual lash. What’s even more impressive is that this product has been favorably compared to high-end mascaras, despite its modest price tag.

Having tried this affordable gem myself, I can attest to its impressive performance. It effortlessly added length to my lashes, which are naturally of average length, and the curl it created lasted all day. Moreover, it provides a dramatic eye look, making it appear as though I’m wearing individual falsies.

Before giving Lash Princess a shot, my top three go-to mascaras were Too Faced’s Better Than Sex, Benefit’s They’re Real, and MAC’s MacStack Mascara, all of which belong to the £30 price range.

I’m not alone in my appreciation for this mascara; many online reviews echo my sentiments. One enthusiastic customer mentioned, “I am a long-time Lancôme Hypnose mascara user. I tried a few different mascaras, but they never came close to making my thin lashes look fuller. However, this very affordable mascara did exactly that!”

Another reviewer raved, “This really is a great mascara, one of the best I’ve ever tried, and I’ve tried many. It gives lovely length and volume while still separating the lashes, allowing you to apply coat after coat until you achieve the desired effect without any clumping.”

A reviewer named Kelly couldn’t contain her excitement: “IF YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A NEW MASCARA TO TRY THEN THIS IS IT!” She praised how it made her lashes look “lovely and long” and how it didn’t clump like her old mascara. Kelly also appreciated that it stayed on all day but was easy to wash off.

Additionally, there are countless other reviews that sing praises for this mascara, with customers calling it “amazing,” “one of the best on the market,” and “great value for the price.” The consensus is clear: Essence’s Lash Princess is a true gem.

In a similar vein, Boots customers have discovered an “amazing” budget mascara priced at just £4 that rivals more expensive brands, lasting all day without flaking. The Extreme Extension Lengthening Mascara is becoming a favorite among beauty enthusiasts, drawing comparisons to premium brands such as Benefit and Boots No7.
