Review: Essence Multi Action Blackest Black Mascara & Waterproof Mascara

Today I will be reviewing the latest addition to Essence Cosmetics' Multi Action Mascaras range, namely Blackest Black and the Waterproof versions.

The packaging is identical for both mascaras except for the outside colours.  The brushes, however, are different from each other and I don't really get why because both mascaras are designed to give extra volume, length and curl. If I had to pick my favourite, I'd go for the  Blackest Black's wand because it is more dense. Both mascaras are intensely black and the waterproof one is really waterproof and thus they hold true to their respective names.  The only thing here is that they only come in black; I think if Essence included more colours such as brown and blue, that would be fun too!

I cannot really choose one over the other because they both give a volumised, fanned out look to the lashes and I am also a big fan of the intensity and long lastingess of these mascaras.  Both mascaras are guaranteed not to clump lashes.

I recommend these mascaras to budget queens and splurgers alike just because they are a very good alternative to the more expensive mascaras out there.

Retail price is €2 - €3 each for 9ml (as opposed to the 8.5ml of the older versions).  Essence Cosmetics is available in pharmacies and beauty shops all around Malta and Gozo.
