Recently, I've been testing out both the Essence False Lash Mascara and the L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black. While I have tried high end mascara's, I haven't found one that made my lashes look amazing, and for that reason I stick to drugstore mascara's. I don't see the reason why I should spend so much on mascara if my lashes will still look the same. As a Jaclyn Hill Fan, I hear her rave about the Voluminous Black often and decided to give it a try. Spoiler, I prefer the Essence False Lash mascara.
   
I don't wear false lashes every day, but I normally do wear mascara. I don't have high expectations for mascara because I have short lashes. Realistically, mascara can only do so much. I do like some length, volume and separation when it comes to mascara. The False Lash has a very nice wand, it's not too big and I like the tapered end. I can also get my lower lashes without making a mess. It does give me length and separation as well. The Voluminous Black gives me volume but not much length. It does separate my lashes and doesn't get clumpy. I think it's an okay mascara but I probably wouldn't purchase it again. The False Lash Mascara is a current favorite. If you're familiar with the green Lash Princess, I get similar results. Both are very black, and wash away nicely. Both do not give me any flaking or smudging.


Essence has some really great mascara's and I tend to enjoy them quite a bit. I haven't tried many L'Oreal mascara's but I will continue to try them. Mascara is very personal and it really depends on your lashes. If you want to wear false lashes and are looking to darken your natural lashes, both would work great.

Have you tried either of these?
