    I was at a christening yesterday and one of the other guests had really lovely seperated long lashes they were so good they looked fake, I asked her what mascara she used and she pulled out Max Factor Masterpiece Max, just thought I would pop it on here, I'll be buying some on my next shopping trip:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    My favourites are Dior Blackout, HR Lash Queen and YSL EFC. I love the WOW effect all the time and these do exactly that. :D

    I've tried loads and I really think Max Factor Masterpiece is pretty unbeatable. In fact most of their mascaras are good (apart from the false lash effect one which is cr*p). They are also fairly reasonable price wise at £8 ish and often on offer. I find they lats about three months and you shouldn't keep a mascara much longer than that anyway.

    Maybelline are good if you want a cheap one and lancome for the more designer end.

    Clinique and No7 mascaras smudge and run really badly though.

    My fave mascara is loreal volumious its only £6.99 and it's the best one I have ever used :D It makes your lashes thicker and longer.

    I like diorshow as well, but it's expensive at £20 ish and I feel it only lasts for a few weeks, I've felt like there is a plug that comes away in the bottle and doesn't work as well as it used to, so I stopped buying it.

    l'oreal voluminous
    I endorse that one.

    Yesterday I was looking at mascara reviews and found one site where the only mascara with 100% 5-star ratings was Prescriptives False Eyelashes, so I'm trying to find it cheap ;)

    I use this site http://www.makeupalley.com/product/ to review any product that catches my eye, it is brill! :)
  • I've tried loads of mascara's over the years, expensive and cheap but my favourite is still Rimmel Extra Super Lash at under a fiver its great for my lashes. I usually buy them on ebay nowadays and buy 3 at a time.

    Not a "review site" as such - it was QVC the shopping channel. And yes, believe it or not they do post negative comments on their products! However, the mascara is out of stock :(

    I buy loads of mascara and never leave the house without it. The best mascara (including premium brands) is Rimmels sexy curves. Makes your lashes curly and really volumising plus the tube lasts and doesn't dry out unlike some which look great the first 2 times you put them on but then look rubbish. Also cheap and Rimmel always seems to be on 3for 2 at either boots, tesco or superdrug. Hope that helps.
