My verdict

Essence Lash Princess is the internet's favorite mascara dupe for a reason. It delivers comparable volume and drama at a fraction of the price. The original has slightly better staying power and less tendency to flake, but for $5 vs $29, the Lash Princess is the clear winner for everyday wear. If you need all-day hold for a special event, the original earns its price tag—but for daily use, save your money.
