Have you used the brand "Essence" ?

Does anyone use Essence makeup - a drug store brand? My current favorite mascara is Essence Princess False Lash mascara (4.99). Plenty of great reviews. If you try it, make sure you get the correct version as they make different mascaras. CVS carries their products.

I've used their lash primer and just ordered their hydrating foundation (6.99). Their website has 20% off and free shipping on 20.00 orders.

Amazon has quite a number of Essence products available...

I have used their mascaras and lash primer for years. They have a great highlighter and then an excellent banana powder for undereye setting and brightening. As with many drugstore brands, the packaging leaves lots to be desired! They fall apart pretty quickly! But the price is great!

I've found them to be hit or miss, but the hits are really good, especially for the price. Their Pure Nude Highlighter is fantastic. Gives a nice bit of glow with being glittery or accentuating any texture on your skin.

I know I tried one of their mascaras and liked it, but can't remember which one. Can't beat their prices!

Yes!
I'm a big fan of their lash primer and the false lash waterproof mascara - have them on subscription through Amazon.

I also have a few of their small palettes; I Like to Mauve It, Taupe It Up, and Ice, Ice Baby.

I have 3 of their eyeshadow palettes - the small ones. Also I use their highlighter. The mascara didn't impress me so went back to the L'Oreal mascara. Did pick up their eyelash primer recently based on posts I'd read here. When I switch out mascara/primer next time, I will try it out then.

I just bought their last primer and Lash Princess mascara a couple of days ago. Waiting on delivery. I'm hoping I love them because the price is certainly right!

Those 6 pan eye shadow palettes are fantastic. I like the mascara a lot. If I didn’t have a stock pile of IT, it would probably be my every day mascara.

@San Antonio Gal I love the Lash Princess mascara (the one you have pictured) and have repurchased it more than once. I recently bought the one with the curved brush that's supposed to help curl your lashes (with the purple lettering) on the recommendation of a YouTuber i follow, but I haven't opened that tube yet. You can't beat the price!

Yes, actually I'm using that mascara for the first time right now. I read about it from an email blog I get, and I ordered it from Amazon. I just recently saw it's sold at Ulta and I did not know it was sold in the drug store. I've never seen it.

I'm really happy with the mascara.

I use the Lash Princess mascara with the green lettering. I have tried others and didn't like them.

I also love the newer Essence 6 pan eyeshadow palettes. I have the Taupe It Up and it is a favorite of mine. I've already hit pan on one of the colors.

They are supposed to have a really good bronzer and highlighter although I've never tried it and their clear lip gloss is supposed to be one of the best.
