Ooo, i'll be very interested to hear how you get on with the Estee Lauder one - i haven't tried that one.:)

Put it on today, with the free GWP primer underneath & its smudged:mad:

It wasn't a fantastic false lash effect anyway & its smudged as well, £17 (or was it £17.50?) wasted:mad:

I will still use it up, I'm not throwing £17 away, but I just have to wipe the little smudges away when I spot them.

I sort out the panda effect when I go to the loo, luckily (or unluckily:rolleyes: ) I go often:o

Thanks to some advice on here, I ordered the Blinc last week. After nearly 30 years of looking like a Panda after two hours I finally look smart all day!!! I have bought all sorts of mascaras at a variety of huge and small prices and this one really does work!!
It is a bit strange taking it off - thought my eyelashes had come away until I realised it was the tubes.
Huge thanks to the OP - I'm a real convert.

I've had a thought...............

What its its the liquid eyeliner thats smudging & shadowing around my eyes

I use bad gal liquid eyeliner, but as I use black for both & top & bottow liner, it might be the liquid eyeliner:eek: :eek: :eek:

I was thinking, if I used a tiny brush I could use the mascara as liner & then I would know for sure:D

Any thoughts anyone?

Could you try the mascara without any liner (maybe at home if you don't like going out without it)?

Can't try it without eyeliner, I can't go out without it:mad: :mad: :mad:
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

But what I have done is to use a fine brush to use the mascara as eyeliner, so if its really water & smudgeproof it will be waterproof as a liner too.

Anyway, I tried it;)

Its not the mascara thats been running, its my eyeliner (using badgal at the mo, badgal humh, should be called badstuff:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: ), its been the eyeliner all along:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I feel such a fool:o

Anyway, so now I have this fine eyeliner brush I can use my mascara as eyeliner & still test all those lovely mascaras.

Quick update on the doublewear. If you put the primer on first then curl them, then put the mascara on, you keep the curl, so you keep the effect.

I was doing curl, primer, mascara & the curl was drooping before I got the mascara on to set it.

So Doublewear is waterproof & is ok, (now I'm doing it right), so its not bad at all. But its not the false lash effect, not quite:p

Got my order this morning:D

YSL one not in stock:mad:

But they still gave me the full £10 off my order:D

Noticed big difference in box sizes between Dior & Chanel:rolleyes:

Dior is 11.5 ml (0.38fl oz):D

Chanel is 5g (0.17 fl oz):mad:

& they were about the same size:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Chanel should be adhamed, selling a tester size at that price:mad:

I am looking for a new mascara as get the smudge under my eyes even though I never touch them!! how are you finding the `Clinique Lash Power Mascara` are you still using it and is it ok? I would normally just by a waterproof! once upon a time you didn`t seem to get the panda eyes using waterproof. Using L`Oreal telescopic waterproof one at moment.
The Clinique one does sound too good to be true.

I have tried so many over the years and taken part in large discussions but the best by far is

Collection 2000 Aquamax - £2.99.

I wouldn' use anything else by collection 2000 but there mascara is the best.

Eyeliner, I would recomend Virgin Vie, I put it on in the morning and it doesn't move. Its a nice soft pencil too with a smudger at the end.

A good tip to stop eye liner smudging is to prepare the eye before hand. Make sure your foundation and powder covers the eye area. Ensuring that any eye cream has been allowed to absorb into the skin. Apply the eye liner and then set it with a light coating of eye shadow matching the colour of the liner. I have a blunt brush for this. It can soften the hard lines of a pencil or give a smokey affect.

Virgin Vie do a money back guarentee so if you don't like the eye pencil or find it smudges then you can return it for a full refund.

Much better than spending £'s on products which don't work and your stuck with them.
