    My girlfriend says that the Tesco waterproof mascara is pretty good. Apparently it is made in the same factory as all the 'big names' like Chanel. I don't know if it is the same formulation though.
  • i have just treated my self to NEW Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula from clinique for £12,50 @ boots
    (you get - 1000 Extra Points with 3+ selected Premium Beauty at the moment)

    its water & smudge proof & you take it off with warm water
    its also not black but Dark Chocolate excellent as i am very fair
    i tried to get it to smudge but it stayed on all day :j
    the first mascara i have liked - i just need a bit of volume & colour so perfect for me

    This sounds so stupid I know, but I'm not a fan of clinique at all. Their toners are horrible, like meths:eek:

    Their bright green plastic packaging puts me off as well.:o

    Now Gurlain, they know how to package;)

    If you go to a chanel counter and say you're on their email mailing list and had an email a while back telling you about an inimitable mascara sample, they will give you one if they have any. I told my daughters to do this as they kept nicking mine, and after using the sample they now never use anything else!!! Its worth trying a few chanel counters as not all will have them. My boots one is good.

    Tried the No.7 360 mascara today, no good, shadows under & around the eyes from the mascara, not bags!!!!!

    The clubbing one was the best of the cheaper ones, the No.7 weren't up to much at all.

    Also got Estee Lauder Double wear in Debenhams tonight, they had a free primer with it.
    Will try that tomorrow.

    I'm like a roving reporter for mascaras!!!!!

    Its just dawned on me, that I bought 4 mascaras today!!!!

    Actually I had a bit of a spending frenzy after work, 2 mong cushions in Next £50, two lamp shades £60, 2 more cushions £26.
    Bedroom looks great, its amazing how snazzy bits really finish a room & pull it together.
    Just want a "small" chandlier now, a bedroom sized one, I think they are sooooo pretty.

    I get a real buzz from buying all those expensive accessiories & the 4 expensive mascaras, does anyone else here get that?
