25 Days of Mascara: Day 9

Welcome to 25 Days of Mascara!  This series, if you haven't guessed already, will feature one mascara per day until Christmas.  I love trying out new mascara, so what better way to spend the most wonderful time of the year (and my birthday month) reviewing the one product I can't do without?

Day 9: Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume





Extreme, crazy volume is right! The Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume mascara (retail: $4.99) has one of those formulas that is pretty dry, but doesn't feel heavy or waxy.  It really separates and defines your lashes, so if you have long, thin lashes like I do, this will make 'em look pretty darn close to falsies! 


Like I said, this formula is pretty dry, so it won't layer as well as others (like The Rocket) but two coats works beautifully!  The applicator is perfect; it coats each and every lash so your lashes look light and feathery.  The only not-so-perfect thing about this mascara is that it smudges and flakes just a tiny bit.  It's nothing too noticeable, but it is the only flaw in this otherwise perfect product!

Likes:
 - adds volume to EVERY lash
 - clump-free
 - applies easily

Dislike:
 - (oh-so-slightly) smudges and flakes


Are you familiar with Essence's products?  What's your must-have?
