This week (May 28 – June 4), we’ve rounded up the most popular Essence products available across multiple stores in Iraq, comparing prices to help you snag the best deals. Whether you need a waterproof mascara for summer sports, a glossy lip treatment, or a long-lasting eyeliner, these picks have you covered. Let’s dive into the top choices.
**Mascaras**
Mascaras are Essence’s claim to fame, and several versions are flying off shelves. For extreme volume that survives swimming or sweat, try 
Essence I Love Extreme Volume Waterproof Mascara - Black – priced between 4,750 and 5,500 IQD across 7 stores, with a best price of 4,750 IQD. Its ultra-black pigments and extra-large brush create dramatic lashes that stay put. If you want even more crazy volume, 
Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Waterproof Mascara - Black offers a waterproof formula at 4,500 IQD (range 4,500–5,500 IQD) and is available in 6 stores. The non-waterproof version, 
Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara - Black, costs the same best price of 4,750 IQD but with a slightly narrower spread of 15.8%.
For a more elegant look, 
Essence Call Me Queen Mascara - 11.5ml (11.5 ml) delivers volumizing lashes at 5,750 IQD, found in 6 stores with a range up to 6,750 IQD. The iconic 
Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara - Black features a cobra brush for thick lashes, also at 5,750 IQD (5,750–6,750 IQD). Need curl and volume? 
Essence Lash Princess Curl and Volume Mascara - Black has a peanut-shaped brush that targets outer and inner corners, same price and availability. For a false-lash effect that withstands sports and tears, 
Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara - Black is your best bet at 6,500 IQD (6,500–6,750 IQD, spread just 3.8%).
**Eyeliners & Brow/Lash Gels**
Precise, long-lasting liner? 
Essence Dip Waterproof 24H Long Lasting Eyeliner - 01 Black gives you 24-hour wear with a deep black, waterproof formula. Best price is 6,250 IQD (range 6,250–6,500 IQD, tight 4% spread) across 6 stores. For taming brows and lashes, 
Essence Lash and Brow Gel Mascara - Clear is a clear gel that sets everything in place naturally. It’s available at 5 stores for 4,250 IQD (range 4,250–4,750 IQD, 11.8% spread).
**Lip Gloss**
Don’t miss 
Essence Juicy Bomb Shiny Lipgloss – an ultra-glossy, non-sticky lip gloss with a fruity scent. It’s Clean Beauty and comes in a mono-material tube. Best price is just 2,500 IQD (2,500–3,000 IQD) and can be found in 5 stores. A perfect affordable treat.
**Price Comparison Tips** Most of these products have a price spread under 20%, but shopping around can still save you a few hundred IQD. For example, the Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Waterproof Mascara has a 22.2% spread – grab it at 4,500 IQD if you can. The False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara has the tightest spread (3.8%), so any store near 6,500 IQD is a fair deal.
Whether you’re building a full makeup kit or just need a new staple, Essence offers unbeatable value. Check availability across stores and grab your favorites before they sell out!
