Robyn compared the get BIG! LASHES volume CURL mascara by essence with the Thrive Cosmetics Liquid Lash Extension Mascara. While the Thrive mascara costs $25 and requires soap or makeup remover for removal, the essence mascara is only $3.99 and comes off easily in clumps. Robyn found the essence mascara to have a messier application but appreciated the fuller application brush, resulting in a more natural look. Overall, Robyn preferred the essence mascara due to its affordable price and minimal difference in coverage and length compared to the more expensive option. This mascara is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, making it a great choice for those who prioritize ethical beauty products.
