The buildable formula is a real winner when it comes to ingredients — it's alcohol-, oil-, fragrance-, cruelty- and paraben-free, so users don't have to worry about irritants or ethical issues. And while the jet black color is key to making your lashes stand out, the wand is beneficial as well. The conic shape ensures it's able to hit each lash, while a fiber brush helps with precise application, giving you volume, definition and curl without globs of extra product.
Unlike other mascaras on the market, there's no need to worry about flaking or fading. This Lash Princess pick is designed to last all day, so you can swipe it on in the morning before work and still look just as fresh for happy hour drinks or an evening dinner.
Over 200,000 shoppers have left five-star ratings for the mascara on Amazon, alongside positive reviews. One fan wrote that the product 'did not disappoint' and gives them "great length and volume' with a 'nice, thin consistency.' Another called it a 'game-changer' and added that it creates a 'dramatic look with just a single coat.'
One shopper even chimed in to say that while they're 'obsessed' with the mascara, it's especially great 'when you use the primer with it.' Since it stays put, they no longer deal with dreaded 'raccoon eyes," making this $5 purchase well worth it. A few other fans labeled the product as a 'hidden gem" and the 'holy grail of mascaras."
Head over to Amazon to snag this tried-and-true pick, ASAP. And should you be curious, scoop up the shopper-loved primer for an additional $5, too!

Perry had a slate of four Lifetimes Tour concerts in Adelaide, Australia, during Bezos and Sánchez's wedding weekend.
