essence | Bye Bye Panda Eyes Tubing Mascara | Smudge-proof, Volumizing Definition | Vegan, Cruelty Free, Free From Parabens & Oils (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.

I live in a humid climate, so I've always preferred waterproof mascara. When this was a Prime Day deal a few years ago, I tried it based on the great reviews. It works! It is nearly as resistant to smudging as waterproof, and it does lengthen nicely without clumping too much. It's a great value price wise.

I bought this mascara because I thought it would finally be one that wouldn't transfer, but it does. By midday I still have raccoon eyes. Better than some other formulas and doesn't irritate my eyes or skin but transfers to my undereyes.

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.

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.

Loving this! I have short lashes and feel like this mascara holds them up.

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.

Looks good, easy to remove with cleanser, doesn’t leave a ring under your eyes!

Product arrived safely earlier than estimated, and honestly this mascara will save my lashes from the aggressive rubbing. Get y'all some tubing mascara asap!!!

Cumple! No mancha

Le meilleur mascara ! Enfin, je n’ai plus de taches noires sous les yeux. J’avais tout essayé : tous les mascaras, même les plus chers, et de la poudre sous les yeux. Mais j’avais toujours des yeux de panda. Pas avec ce mascara. Il est top.

I have no idea if this mascara flakes or runs, because when I apply it, it doesn’t look like I’m wearing mascara at all, so I am forced to use a different mascara over the top. I have very fair lashes, so it’s odd to me that a black mascara would barely show up on my lashes. Maybe the tube is actually empty? who knows?!

Compre este producto ya que uso extensiones de pestañas pero me gusta aplicarle un poco de mascara el problema que tenia es que las mascaras normales cuesta mucho de quitar y manchan, esta mascara promete no dejar manchas y lo cumple, la mascara sale con agua (si es tibia mejor) y se desprende como en tubitos negros, es una gozada, la volveré a comprar cuando se acabe.
