Decent mascara please

Hi I am struggling to find a decent mascara that adds thickness and lengthens my lashes. I have tried many brands and just cannot find one that suits me.

Can anyone recommend a decent mascara please? I don't mind how much it costs.

Thanks:D

    Lancome hypnose is fab, it can often be bought in sets which is cheaper or soap n glory thick n fast.

    I like the soap and glory one in a gold tube, really good and on offer buy 3 get one free at the moment, a friend of mine will only wear max factor cant remember the name also about ten pounds, I have tried it and did like it.................I know what you mean is hard to find something that suits, and expensive when it doesnt (im like that with foundation)

    I like the Revlon Grow Luscious range for mascara; they give me thicker, longer and more voluminous lashes.

  • I have nieces that say Bourjois Clubbing mascara is the best. It is not expensive either about £6 in Superdrug.

    I use Estee Lauder Sumptous bold. Always buy the tester sizes off eBay too which makes it a lot cheaper!

    Maybelline Illegal Lengths mascara - I think this recommendation was on here some time ago and I don't use anything else now. There's also a waterproof version. HTH

    Another vote for the Bourjois. I like the ultra black and is often on 3 for 2.

    DD has very long eyelashes and has tried loads of different ones but she too likes Bourjois. She also uses their volumizer in addition for nights out. It looks incredible.

    Hi

    At the moment I use Clarins Instant Definition which I love.

    I used to use Clinique High Lengths or High Impact until I tried the Clarins one.

    Have you also tried a lash building primer. Clinique has a good one I used to use Origins underwear for lashes but I don't think they make it anymore.

    Other favourites have been
    Loreal
    Benefit Bad Gal Lash

    Whilst we are on the subject of Mascara keep your old tubes. Clinique tend to run a promo where you receive a smaller size of mascara if you hand an old one in.
    Benefit also usually have mascara samples with Glamour magazine
  • Thanks so much for your replies:D Mmm...so many recommendations lol. I shall make a note of them all and pop along to boots and have a look. I must also say that the brush plays a big factor as I only like the hard brushes iykwim I don't find the bushy type brush as effective. Thanks again and will let you know if I manage to find a good one! What us girls have to do eh lol.
