Best Mascara

WolfSong2000

In general I adore Givenchy's phenomeneyes (is that how it's spelled?), but it does smudge (mind you, I do rub my eyes a lot). The only mascara I've found that literally doesn't move is Blinc mascara. It's not cheap, but I've had mine for a year (yeah, I know you're meant to replace mascara's every few months, but I'm a girl on a budget!) and it's still going strong

Have so many that I like! I really loved the Chanel Immitable (or something like that!) they were doing samples a year or so ago and then my mum bought me a tube for Christmas and it lasted for a good 3 months twice daily use (I go to the gym, shower and reapply). Was sad to see this go! Used to love Maybelline but since using the Chanel, when going back to the Maybelline I was horrified at how dense and clumpy it was and how much of a b****r it was to get off again!

Rimmel Sexy Curves was OK but never seem to last more then a month before it became noticable I'd run out, felt harsh to apply, sort of scratchy and I never got used to that.

Clinique make one where half the brush is a comb and the other half is a brush, I think this is excellent and can't believe no other brand has thought to copy it! Its a good mascara.

Have yet to find a No.7 mascara I like.

Bojours are nice but they flake. This is hell in a small black tube if you wear rimless glasses as the flakes get everywhere and collect along the groves of the glasses. No amount of cleaning seems to rid the frames of this, not washing up liquid, not soaking overnight, not special cleaning fluids. My optition was clueless as to what to so also.

Max Factor are OK but the mega fat brush takes a while to get used to. This is the newer versions where the tube is rounded. Have no idea what the other types are like.

L'Oreal are terrible. Smudge, clumpy to apply and overpriced.

Benefit are OK, nothing special though, they don't lengthen nor add volume but they coat fairly well without too much clumping so long as you tissue-dab the brush first. Also comes off easily.

Lancome are great but again, very expensive.

I have tried a few but never the expensive ones as i cannot justify it when my lashes look good with high street ones.

I'm a Rimmel fan also but i recently tried the MUA from superdrug as a cheapie..its a £1 and i'm really impressed and the nail polish a £1 also has staying power you wouldn't believe, i did my toes in a gorgeous peacock green about 3 weeks ago and its still going strong :eek:

I used to use Revlon radiance range which was always cheap but discontinued i think that was a nice one too.

I usually shop at places like fragrance direct, cheap smells and beauty outlet where you can get really good deals at the cost of postage.

i've used loads of different brand, from cheap to expensive. but the ones i've stuck with for last few years is an Avon one. it is a black tube with a turquoise lid. i can't rememeber excatly which one but i think it one from their cheaper range. It is pump volvume or something.

My eye lashes are very long that so many mascaras i use i often get asked if my lashes are fake. so i need to use one which defines my lashes without being too over the top look. if i want a more dramtic look for night time i apply it about 2 or 3 times allowing to dry inbetween and it looks fantastic.

Lancome Hypnose is the best Ive found. The L'oreal Million lashes (sorry cant remember the exact name!) is quite good.

Definitely! Shame I can't always justify the expense though

I have long lashes, but little deep-set eyes, so have a real problem.

I have used Lancome Hypnose for years, but now I'm retired it's too expensive. Trying Estee Launder at present - that is impossible to remove to go to bed and I find flakes over the pillow.

Another vote for Lancome Hypnose, only thing I find is it dries out fast. I buy it always at duty free, think it's about £16, some l'oreal mascaras are £13, that's how I justify it.

There is one thing called raincoat for mascara from clarins, 13.50 if I don't remember wrong. It will add a shied of waterproof to your mascara but the feeling is a little bit tight. I don't like it but it really works.
