Perfectly fits under mascara, without forming lumps, therefore, in general, the product pleases, especially considering the low price.

For a long time I tried to find a good tool for fixing eyelashes, until a friend recommended Essence gel. At first I was embarrassed by the low price, but he fulfilled his role. The effect is visible, the eyelashes do not stick together and look much more ordered. Of course, with a strong problem, it will not help, but to see a normal curvature of hairs in the normal one is quite real.

After eyelash extensions, my bones became very fragile, so I decided to treat them a little. My choice fell on Estel gel. I've been using it for a couple of weeks, and while the result is good. The hairs have become a little stronger in appearance and gradually become thicker. It is very easy to apply, because there is a dispenser, but it is best to do it at night, because it simply does not look like a base for mascara.

Recently, Estel gel was presented to me for a holiday, so I decided to treat my eyelashes a little. I used it for a couple of months, during which time the eyelashes became noticeably thicker and longer, but there were no particularly colossal changes. The composition of the drug is quite complicated, has many nutrients. The main disadvantage - when it hits the mucous membrane of the eye, it causes a slight unpleasant burning sensation, but if it blinks, it quickly disappears.
