Where Sells Essence Makeup... Or decent mascara

I knew of a few places that were carrying Essence cosmetics but seem to be getting discontinued. Hyper Panda replaced it with wet n wild which I just wasted a trip on to throw the mascara away, absolute rubbish, very dry. Specifically looking for a mascara "Lash Princess"... Alternatively if anyone can recommend a very very black, volumizing, semi-wet formula drugstore mascara?

I've tried Dior but very pricey here, although I do have a Sephora gift card I guess I could use, although I haven't been there in a while. Boots would be better for me. I just prefer less pricey ones cause I do toss them every 2-3 months. I've tried almost all of Rimmel ones as well but they don't seem to be any good on me either.

Thanks ladies

Pebbles you can buy benefit at sephora or get a sephora gift card. I don't tend to by much from them as they don't have a big range like other brands. I've tried mascara, eyeliner (no!), a few blushes which are very very good and popular, and a couple of their highlighters which are much too intense for me personally. They might have a gift set but at this time of year, I kind of doubt it. Eta they have the bene-kits? They're permanent, it's a set of mini sized products in a box...would be a good gift maybe? And I forgot I tried their cheek tints too but on me it was drying. <em>edited by Cherpie on 13/04/2015</em>

I need to buy someone a gift for about 300 - 350 dirhams and have been told that she likes Benefit as a brand. Does anyone know where I can buy any Benefit products and if they sell vouchers as I wouldn't know what to choose! Would she be able to buy something for this amount or is this not the right price range? TIA

Benefit Mascara's are good, try 'They're real' or 'Roller Lash'. I've been using both of these and they're great - Roller Lash layered with They're Real give a great 'false lash' effect. <em>edited by mrs13b on 13/04/2015</em>

Great, thank you! I was thinking of all those actually, but so many different ones! Any NYX one in particular that's nice? I used to love Bourjois mascaras, I hadn't tried a single one I didn't love so I might look if there's one I haven't tried yet. Has anyone tried (or even seen) maybelline "super film" or "hyper curl"? I used to use the Bourjois mascara that was in the all-black tube. At first it's great, but then it gets verrrrry goopy and messy in the tube. One of the mascaras I like to use now is the Maybelline volumizing mascara in a blue tube with pink writing. For 40-odd dirhams it's really good. It is not as black and dramatic as the YSL volumizer mascara I have, but it is usually my go-to because I can apply it without too much care or thought and it goes on great every time and curls my lashes upward.

NYX mascara. Very good! You can buy it at Centerpoint stores. Also Bourjois mascara (it is owned by Chanel and is considered their affordable option). I own both Chanel cosmetics and Bourjois and only difference is Chanel has fancier packaging but mascara is exact same product inside.
