The reviewer, Kayla, tried the Bye Bye Panda Eye Mascara from Essence. She has been using Essence mascara since middle school and was excited to try this one. The mascara claims to be smudge-proof, long-lasting, volumizing, and defining. Kayla curled her lashes before applying the mascara and found that it still had some thickness after application. She mentioned that she wasn't too impressed but considering the affordable price of $4, it is a decent product. Overall, the mascara provides some volume and definition to the lashes, but it may not meet high expectations.
