Looking for the ultimate waterproof mascara

Girl_least_likely_to

I use No7 Waterproof mascara and have done for years. I have very sensetive eyes, I can't use No7 Sensitive mascara oddly enough. Like another poster said about their chosen brand, I also gave birth to my DD wearing No7 and it was still on and unsmudged 30 hours after!

What stings? Your eyes, your skin? Is it like having a perm (distant memory ) where your scalp burns a bit? Does this mean I shouldn't wear my contact lenses if I go to have it done?

I find my eyes sting towards the end of the time, and while they are wiping the dye off the lashes. This is because a small amount of the solution always seeps into the eyes (ouch!). This seems to be quite normal as I've had it done in a number of different salons and they have all warned that this can happen. Having said that one of the other posters says she has never had a problem, so maybe it varies from person to person.

You are always asked to take your lenses out before having it done. Certainly unless you have daily disposables I wouldn't wear them during the procedure in case they got stained by dye. Personally I'd want to wear my glasses for a few hours afterwards rather than put my lenses straight back in again.

All this being said, in my view it is worth the temporary discomfort to have it done.

ok, so now i know it works i'll try again!

The clinique new mascara also does the "tube thing". I was talking to the clinique girl in Boots who said that it is good. Personally i find it strange to get off, but i suppose it depends what you are after!

I love max factor aqualash, and find that a good pair of eyelash curlers are way better than any mascara for giving the "fake eyelash curl".

As a self confessed queen of make up samples, have you tried going round a big boots/department store and mentionning your issues with others/requirements of a mascara? They usually have a few mini mascaras around if they feel you really may buy it if it works for you! Alternatively most make up counters (& Avon) do a good returns policy if things aren't exactly as you want/have a reaction etc so you should be able to return things pretty quickly and not have wasted money while you try.

Good Luck!

Chanel inimitable waterproof. Can't say more. Have paid a fortune for eyelash dying and couldn't see any difference.

Summary of your favs

Estee lauder double wear have a new one out.

The Chanel above sounds good.

The Diorshow sounds good & YSL FauxCils

& the Blinc Kiss Me & this one Kanebo 38C mascara & urban decay big fatty mascara

You can see I like the high end stuff!

So many to try, so expensive, I need to work my way through them (slowley!).

The Clinique one doesn't grab me, but I don't really like Clinque & I don't like their packaging!

The "stiniging" is due to the hydrogen peroxide in the product after all eyelash dye is simply a milder form of hair dye that is how it works.;)

Did you see the price:mad: not very MSE:rolleyes:

Actually my daughter was talking about having falsies that last a couple of weeks for her holiday, but I don't think she will if thats the price:eek:

Tried yet ANOTHER mascara today. No.7 dream lash, it was free in a pink box gift daughter got on Saturday. Its ok, not massivly "fake" looking, but no smudging, but even though its not smudged off, its sorta worn off & I've only had it on about 8 hours.
She also bought the No.7 360 mascara, so I will borrow that for a day.

Good way of trying them, borrow other peoples:D , very MSE:p

Ha, I was wondering when money would become the stumbling block!! Plus it says you've got to have them touched up every two weeks. But I didn't even know they existed until earlier today!! :rolleyes::D
