    Max Factor False Lash Effect. It's fantastic, even the waterproof one :D

    Tried it, no good for me.

    I can make anything smudge:mad:

    I don't know why that is:confused:

    Perscriptives here-to-stay is the best I've found so far.

    I believe next month's edition of Glamour magazine comes with Benefit Bad Gal waterproof mascara. I'm looking foward to seeing how long lasting it is, because I loved the effect of Bad Gal non-waterproof, it gave me fab long thick lashes, with no clumping, but because it wasn't waterproof left me with panda eyes after about 15 mins! :eek:

    It's definitely worth shelling out a couple of quid to try it, and if it's a stayer, I'll be buying.

    Oh, and I'm big Hypnose fan too. Keep meaning to try out the Max Factor false lash one as well, I've heard good things about it.

    Thats the next one I wanted to try, so I shall buy that:beer:

    It's not waterproof - yet - but I'm currently loving L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion which is the one in the red/black tube with the spiky little ball-shaped brush. It makes my lashes look amazing and stays on all day (so long as I don't get my eyes wet...). I think I bought it in Tescos for about £6 on a special £2 off promotion.

    The ball/brush really gets into the base of your lashes and the fiddly little ones in the inner eye corners. Vairy gut!

    I buy my mascara on Ebay. You can usually get the more expensive ones a lot cheaper than in the shops.

    it's the moisturiser I think, if I don't make sure it's really well soaked in before I put make up on it goes smudgy for me too

    Do you think.

    I don't put my moisturiser over my eyes, but some might drift as I
    smear it on, do you think that would be enough?

    I don't wear eyecream (occasionally at night, but never during the day).

    But do wear foundation ever day, but I use No7 intelliengent colour most days (for work) its very light though, almost moussey, I wouldn't have thought there was much moisturiser in that????

    it's not the moisturiser per se, but if there's something on the skin, like a sort of film, dunno how to explain it really but if I don't bother with anything, just a bit of pencil and mascara, it doesn't happen :confused:
