Which Mascara?

Hello all!
I have finally run out of Mascaras and need to buy a new one, my previous favourite was BadGal Lash by Benefit but at £16 a tube I don't think I can really justify it anymore!
Was wondering if anyone can recommend a good Mascara I can justify spending up to £10. I have quite long lashes but to me the fuller and longer they look the better!
Thanks

I used to love Benefits Badgal Lash - was my total favourite! But when I ran out I couldn't justify the price so tried Eyekos Big Beautiful Eyes macara instead (£8 from their website) and thats now my HG mascara.0

Theres another thread running on this
But to add my pennys worth, bought Loreal Million Lash mascara last month when I found Id forgotten mine during a few days away. Its absolutely brilliant, lengthens and thickens lashes and big plus for me, doesnt make my eyes smart or run. It doesnt say its hypo allergenic and all those that do say that have always made my eyes sore after half an hour or so but this one I have on all day no problem.0 -
I bought Maybelline Full and Soft for £3 in a TJ Hughes and love it! It doesn't go crispy on me and lengthens my lashes, not so much on volume though.
I heard Rimmel is good for mascaras as well, and none of them are above 100 -
I love anything by Maybelline, I use the new Falsies one for a bigger look on an evening!
Also bought a Natural Collection waterproof one from boots for £2 just for holidays but found it gives a nice natural look for daytime.0 -
I love Boots No7 Extravagant Lashes - £12, but £7 with the £5 off vouchers they throw at you all the time! People think I have lash extensions on permanently.******** Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity *******"Always be calm and polite, and have the materials to make a bomb"0

Thanks very much guys! I think I will give the Maybelline Falsies a go!
Its just so difficult to choose from the ads as they all either have "styled using inserts" or "enhanced in post production" as a disclaimer! Its great to get advice from actual people!
Thanks again! Bx"It would be so nice if something made sense for a change" ~ Alice in Wonderland0 -
I liked the effect of Maybelline Falsies much more than the current Max Factor False Lash Full Lashes, Natural Look mascara I'm using now. I feel rather cheated as I didn't notice the "natural look" bit when I grabbed it from a £3 off shelf!
However, as other Maybelline mascaras, Falsies shed bits during the day, so you end up with panda eyes at night - especially if you accidentally rub your eyes...Cogito, ergo sum.0 -
personally i like the clinique high impact one or the one with both brush and comb: high defintion (i usually get small ones in the bonus time and even those last me about 5 months. i also like the Rimmel one in the red tube - i think it called something like 'volume flash x10 bigger', i won this in the rimmel comp. (btw maybelline. Rimmel,, Loreal website are always doing competitions to win mascara so worth a try.) and boots have a No7 £5 voucher atm - looking forward to try the new one in green tube.0
