Best cheap mascara?

I am looking to buy a good cheap mascara. I have quite long lashes but whatever I do they don't seem to curl - even with heated curlers etc.
I recently bought boots natural collection curling mascara which kind of worked but I'm looking for something a bit better.

Any recommendations? Preferably under a tenner.

Thanks.

    I use Collection 2000 Collagen Curl Waterproof. Its under £5. Doesn't clump or flake and dries quickly (unlike some cheap mascaras).

  • One of my favourite subjects, this. I love Boots natural collection mascaras for everyday (think I'm using Lash Length at the mo). Also Max Factor Masterpiece. I've also has some good experiences of Miss Sporty mascaras and they are vvv cheap. My all time favourite is Chanel Inimitable Intense, but that certainly isn't under a tenner, sadly.

    I have been fully paid up member of the designer mascaras but my current favourite is Maybelline XXL I think it's called. It's the one that's in a yellow (I think the yellow is waterproof) or pink bulbous tube. It's better than my previous Lancome favourite!

    You can't go wrong with Collection 2000. I've had quite a few of theirs and they have all been excellent. I like Magi-Length and Collagen Curl, both are about £4-5 but Superdrug often has 3-for-2 on C2000 stuff.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
