    I love bad gal by benefit, not so keen on the shedding, but it's something I'm willing to put up with :)

    Have you tried the new waterproof one yet?
    I was going to buy it yesterday in House of Frazer, but I thought I would wait till Boots (& get the points), the Boots in Lakeside doesn't sell benefit:mad:
    I was too tired to walk all the way back to HoF:o

    I won one of these from the comps board and it arrived this morning, of course I had to try it out straight away despite having just bought a new magnascopic mascara the other day:D

    It was great, I'm not a great fan of any mascara apart from magnascopic but this went on beautifully and gave me really full curly lashes:jI used three coats but two would have been fine and so far it has stayed put and no flakey bits, the original comp was for the waterproof version but it said in the letter that came with it they had run out them and instead they sent the normal version which was fine by me, I believe it retails for under £8 which is a bargain imo.
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    I won one too but mine came about 6weeks ago. I'm not that impressed to be honest! It's a nice mascara but I don't think it curls very well (still need the eyelash curlers) and I find it can flake towards the end of the day! I'm sticking with it for another 2months then will find a new one as I don't want to waste it!

    Which is the best mascara?

    I don't want waterproof, but other than that I'm open to suggestions. I just can't get one that really makes my lashes look thicker and longer as the ads promise, though I notice that most of the ads have "filmed with lash inserts" in tiny print at the bottom of the screen :rolleyes:
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Hello!

    The Lancome Hypnose mascara is amazing (and can sometimes be found cheaply on ebay) but I tend to use Max Factor Masterpiece as it's more affordable. They do a 'Masterpiece Max' as well, the ordinary ones give you bushier lashes and the 'max' version gives more definition.

    However, I've also heard good reports about the Urban Decay and Benefit mascaras too...

    Hope you find one you like!

    I find that YSL False Lash Effect can not be beaten. :) I have actually been asked if I'm wearing false eyelashes.

    DiorShow is decent, but the brush is huge so application is harder. Many people rave about Benefit's Bad Gal and the various Max Factor mascaras, but these just do not work for me - especially Badgal which was pretty poor IMO.

    There was a thread a few months ago, if you do a search will find it.

    Also check out Cargo- from boots, its ment to make your lashes longer ( im using it and can us it on its own as mascara too)
    Theres been a thread about that too if you wanted to take a look.
