The Essence Bye Bye Panda Eyes mascara is a great backup option for Cj, who usually wears Essence's Lash Princess mascara. While Lash Princess gives her lashes an impressive length and volume, it tends to smudge and fall off by the end of her long 18-hour days. Bye Bye Panda Eyes, on the other hand, stays put throughout the day without smudging or irritating her eyes. However, it doesn't provide the same level of lengthening and intense black color that Cj prefers. Despite these drawbacks, Bye Bye Panda Eyes serves as a reliable alternative for Cj when she needs a long-lasting mascara.
