  • I love Rimmel Flash mascara ( I use the waterproof one in the blue tube) My lashes look thicker and it goes on really well :)
    Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend...

    I recently bought the new Boots No.17 mascara, its in a squared off sort of tube and has pink writing (and I'm too lazy to go scrambling around my bag for it!) Its a really good masacara! I only bought it as I was on the way out, normally apply makeup on the go (too little time too little light, too much SPF to dry in). The first 2 or 3 times I used it I didn't think much of it but as I'd paid for it I was going to see it through. It gets better with use.

    Its not a dense pack-your-lash type, its a bit like the benefit bad-gal mascara but not as gloopy, I have fine and short lashes, it legnthens really well and seems to give me the impression I have more lashes then I thought, always thinking I had sparce lashes and not many of them, I'm imagining other mascaras were sticking a few together making my lashes look thicker but resulting in me thinking I had less of them. I used the No.17 version and didn't realise I had so many!

    I am a huge fan of Avon's supershock mascara. I have tried loads of more expensive mascaras and i dont rate any of them as much as Avon!

    The Maybelline one in the bright green tube - sorry can't remember the name of it. Think it's about £6 or so, I've tried lots of others (including the horrendously expensive Faux Cils!) and always come back to this one. I have sensitive eyes too and it's never irritated them.
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

    Ah someone else who uses it:D I agree it lasts beautifully but I find it difficult to remove as I dont like oily eye make up remover, do you have any suggestions?

    No, I use oil.
  • I use Chanel Sublime mascara, it is amazing. No clumping of my lashes and it really lengthens them. Bought it after receiving a sample from the Chanel counter in Boots. I haven't even opened the full size one yet though as the sample seems to be lasting ages! I find the L'oreal demaq make-up remover to be the best one for removing it (was lucky enough to find it in Poundland. I would suggest using google images to find photos of 'real people' using the mascara. Or look at this blog:

  • I have been super impressed by Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara (£4.99)

    I have really sensitive skin and my eyes are worse!!

    I wear glasses, have insomnia so always tired and rub my eyes all the time, and over the past few days cried buckets.


    It lengthens, thickens, curls, is very very black and nothing shifts it :j................. unless you want it to come off then it disappears with my normal cleanser which, as someone whose eyes puff out at the mere mention of eye makeup remover is a godsend.


    At the price I have to give it 10 outta 10.


    YDSM.
    I wish I would take my own advice!
  • Another vote for Avon's Supershock mascara - absolutely brilliant, and lasts all day without clumping or flaking off. I've just ordered the Supershock gel liner as well as it looks really good also.
  • I love Max Factor falsh lash effect, I find others can leave me with panda eyes as the day goes on
