I'm in love with mascaras. Even If i have a no makeup day (which is almost every day, since I have a new job), I will still put a bit of mascara on my eyelashes. My lashes are not very long and they are "curled" in a weird way that they seems almost invisible. I kinda wanted to try an Essence mascara, because I have not tried any of their new ones. In the past I had a great mascara experience with their Multi action mascara (the black tube with green "stripes") and a very bad one with their first waterproof mascaras (I really don't remember the name of it).
So I went to our drugstore called "Muller" to check for some mascaras. I always check Essence's and Catrice's stands first. As you may know, Essence has quite a wide selection of mascaras (http://essence.eu/en/products/eyes/mascara.html). I picked up the I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara. The price was around 3 EUR (2,99 or 3,19 EUR).
PACKAGING: Pink plastic tube, with black writing. It's kinda nice for the price. The brush is quite big with a lot of plastic/rubber bristels, even of the tip of the brush.
TEXTURE: Thick formula, not too wet. Doesn't clump. It's quite heavy after you apply 2-3 coats on your lashes. The colour is very black.
APPLICATION/REMOVAL/STAYING POWER: If you are used to bigger brushes is not a problem.
But I was used to smaller and skinnier brushes, because my eyes are small, so my first application was a mess. Now I'm used to it, and I'm fine with the brush. It curls my lashes and make them longer, without clumping them. It lasts on me the whole day, without smudging or flaking. At the end of the day I remove it with my L'oreal Micellar Solution in seconds.
