Can you recommend a waterproof mascara?!

[NottsMum]

Hello ladies

Thought I'd treat myself to a waterproof mascara for my hols. Can anyone recommend a good one for contact lens wearers that comes off fairly easily and isn't too thick and gunky?

Cheers

Jenny

i use rimmel 100% waterproof or boots no. 7, no. 7 is thinner if thats what you're after. where are you off to?

I'm going to Kos with Mark Warner on 9 June - and I can't wait!! It's our first MW holiday(and probably our last unless we win the lottery ) but having heard such good feedback about the company we decided to treat ourselves after months of diy-ing and before DD2 arrives at the end of August!

I intend to spend many hours lying on the sun lounger with a few good books. I thought a little waterproof mascara may help me feel slightly better as no doubt I'll be feeling like a beached whale!

Lancome acquasils

ooh Kos, ive been there, its lovely and all the little islands around there are beautiful. Sigh....wish i was going! have a lovely time

Lancome mascaras are the best. If you really want waterproof then aquacils, but I find that both Definicils and Keracils are excellent, don't give you panda eyes when either wet or just rubbed off, and don't flake/irritate contact lenses...

ditto pph,lancome mascara is fantastic,i have bad hayfever hence itchy/watery eyes and definncils is better than any other waterproof I've tried.I have a drawer full of unwanted waterproof ones.

Why don't you treat yourself and have them dyed it costs about £5 or £10 and lasts about 6-8 weeks, but well worth it for a mascara splodge free holiday.

ANother vote for lash dyeing here.

yes I have had the waterproof one but like the squared shaped one ? definicils?

definicils certainly the best, especially if you hnave contact lenses, I agree.

Well I went and bought a Rimmel w.mascara which is okay, should have waited longer for more replies! However, eyelash tinting is a really good idea....might book myself in when I go and get the dreaded bikini wax (don't do pain well )

obviously i have failed again

sorry! that should have had a smiley at the end!!

No need to apologise Nightowl! It was only £4.50 the reason I said it's only okay is that it doesn't give me luscious looking lashes!!

oh well mine will never be...they're really short so im used to it!! my dd has the most beautiful lashes for a baba...if only...sigh...lucky little thing!

I swear by this : max Factor - AquaLash
And it's cheap!

maybelline waterproof is NOT waterproof
not toally anyway
runs very slightly

Cristaltips - think you've just persuaded me to make another trip to Boots

Now I really must go and get some shut eye. My DH can't believe how often I visit this site....
