Features

  • SAY BYE BYE TO PANDA EYES! No more smudging or flaking here with this new essence tubing mascara. Get volumized and defined lashes without the mess!
  • TUBING FORMULA: Unlike regular mascaras (which coat your lashes with pigment), tubing mascaras wrap each individual lash in water-resistant, tube-like enclosures. This means no smudging, flaking, or fading.
  • REMOVES WITH WARM WATER: No makeup remover necessary! Instead of flaking or smudging throughout the day, these "tubes" slide off with warm water and some gentle pressure.
  • CLAIMS: Vegan & Cruelty Free. Free from gluten, silicones, parabens, oil, fragrance, & microplastic particles. Made in Luxembourg.
  • CRUELTY FREE: essence cosmetics is certified and acknowledged by PETA as a cruelty-free brand. We do not test any of our products on animals.

  • Fantastic quality for the super low price!
Size: 1.23 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the best mascara I have used at any price point. I usually have trouble with mascara coming off beneath my eyes, but this one does not. Unlike waterproof mascara, this comes off easily when I intend for it to. And unlike most tubing mascaras, this one does not dry out my eyes. It is a more subtle mascara, leaving each individual lash visible rather than pulling them together and adding volume, so this is not a volumizing mascara. I liked it so much I bought extras for my purse, my travel bag, the office, and the car. Definitely worth every penny and more. ... show more

  • Love it
Size: 1.23 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I usually have five or six mascaras going at once because I like different ones for different looks. This has become my new go to when I want just a simple lightweight mascara. I have very sensitive eyes and they get irritated a lot especially if it's a mascara that flakes at all. This one does not flake and it does not smudge . I will continue to buy this. It was a perfect replacement for another mascara from another brand that I'm no longer supporting. ... show more

  • Great mascara
Size: 1.23 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This mascara works well. Most mascaras smudge on me but this did not. I apple it after my Tarte tubing mascara and it enhances my lashes even more.

  • Not what I was expecting…
Size: 1.23 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This mascara is not bad and may be better for people with thinner eyelashes, but I wouldn’t recommend over some other masacaras out there. I bought this because it doesn’t smudge, but it does have a little bit of a residue and it doesn’t give a large effect of lashes. I end up having to coat over it with another mascara. I usually really like the essence brand for mascaras, but this one wasn’t up to their typical standard. It also isn’t like tubing mascara and it still takes time to remove. Overall unsatisfied but I would still use it as a backup. ... show more

  • Long-lasting, smudge-proof, and volumizing mascara claims are true Long-lasting, smudge-proof, and volumizing mascara claims are true
Size: 1.23 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have tried several different brands of mascara. Most were the brands you could find at any grocery store or CVS, but I did invest in some more expensive brands as well like: Estée Lauder, Clinique, Lancóme, and Shiseido. I like this one more than any of those brands I’ve tried. I am half Korean and half Caucasian. My upper and lower eyelids are just shaped differently and it’s easy to smear. Even when I barely put any or use smudge-proof or water-proof ones. Usually the water-proof ones are hard to remove even with makeup remover. This Bye Bye Panda eyes somehow manages to be smudge-proof and long-lasting, yet easy to remove with regular Neutrogena face wash (it includes some makeup removing properties). I also notice my eyelashes look thicker as well. I’m most impressed with u bottom lashes. I can’t even put eyeliner on, which I love and looks so good on me, because it just smudges too easily. With this mascara, I’ve completely removed my lower eyeliner routine and just use this mascara on my top and bottom lashes and it gives it the definition around my eyes and doesn’t smudge. I waited about 2 weeks before writing this review to make sure it was accurate. I used it everyday for those two weeks and I’m just happy with it. I’m impressed with the price and that it actually does what it says it does. I haven’t been able to try it in the rain. It hasn’t rained much since I got it. There was some drizzle as well as snow. The snow feel on my top lashes and it didn’t smudge either. I didn’t rub it or anything either, but still I’m happy that it didn’t make the mascara run all over my eyes. The product doesn’t claim to be water-proof, to my knowledge, but so far the moist weather conditions hasn’t caused it to run all over. Everyone is different, but this product worked very well for me. Smudge-proof is the main reason to buy this. Very happy with it. Glad I randomly tried it. ... show more

  • Does the exact opposite for me
Size: 1.23 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I purchased this with high hopes. The skin surrounding my eyes tends to be on the oily side, which can spell disaster for many mascara formulas. Unfortunately, this product couldn't stand up to the combination of oily skin and my habit to rub my eyes (thanks to everything from allergies to general anxiety, headaches, or it being any given day of the week...). Ironically, I find that I have far *more* undereye residue, flaking, smudges, and the dreaded panda eye effect when using this product than when using my preferred mascara (I love the washable curling mascara from elf; it doesn't produce as dramatic an effect as some others, but is a reliable daily wear for me). Maybe this product would work better with a primer, but almost every primer I've used clumps like crazy, is hard to cover, takes forever to dry, or some combination of the three. It's possible that this mascara simply doesn't jive with my skin chemistry - I've tried the Princess mascara from this brand and, despite the rave reviews it has received from beauty editors to work colleagues alike, I always end up with a smeared mess and a flurry of expletives as I clean up for the hundredth time every time I wear it. Maybe your pH or oil level will work differently and you'll have a great experience (I hope you do! For the price, this would be an amazing find if it does for you what it doesnt for me!). As for me, I'll stick with my tried and true favorite and leave this product for the folks it works for. ... show more

  • Nice - but Not a True Tubing Mascara
Size: 1.23 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I like this mascara because it provides dramatic length and definition without making my eyelashes spidery. The brush is wide and pretty densely packed with bristles, so it does a good job of coating each individual lash for a dramatic but natural fringe. The effect is really pretty. However, this isn’t a true tubing mascara, from my perspective, because 1) it will smudge and 2) it doesn’t come off in discreet tubes. If you’ve used a true tubing mascara, you know that you can put you lashes between your thumb and forefinger and cleanly slide off the tubes encapsulating each lash - that’s the pinch test. This doesn’t pass the pinch test. It doesn’t come off in tubes. The pigment comes off as with any other mascara. A true tubing mascara will flake eventually, as the tubes degrade, but it won’t smudge. After a few hours of wearing this, I end up with mild smudging under my eyes. A true tubing mascara (think original Blinc) can apply spidery. That’s not a problem at all here, so I’m not surprised it isn’t truly tubing. I have hooded eyelids, tend to sweat/accumulate oil throughout the day, and have few opportunities to touch up my makeup, so I insist on genuine tubing mascaras. Sadly, this one didn’t fit the bill, but it is really nice. It doesn’t go all day, but I’ll continue to wear it for shorter Zoom meetings and quick trips to the store. ... show more
