There’s a new brown shade of Lash Princess that will totally give you Bambi Eyes!). Trying this out reminded me how much I used to adore Lash Princess Mascara and I ended up purchasing some along with the new brown version!
Essence Lash Princess Mascara Primer Extra Length & Volume is well worth the purchase. It comes housed in the small princess-y corset barrel as the original Lash Princess Mascaras but in a white barrel with mint accents to set it apart and make it easy to tell apart from your mascara. The mascara is actually a light green shade like the barrel but it sets clear.
