Chanel, Christian dior do lovely mascaras.

Lancome Flextencils...

I use No7 Lift and Curl. Does what it say on the tin. And not pricey. Probably not 'treat' status either though.

Lancome Definicils

It's Cheap here!

I really like the rimmel one (cant remember name) all the money Ive spent on fancy mascaras and this one is by far the best. Its not a super duper lash curly one, just a bog standard one but its great

mumto3girls · 22/06/2007 16:19

Or try Estee Lauder Magnascopic trial size

without a doubt YSL false lash effect mascara is the best i have ever used

meandmyflyingmachine · 22/06/2007 16:23

TBH, I think it partly depends on what effect you're after.

toomuchtodo · 22/06/2007 17:20

I have bought the Max Factor one that has won awards and it is really good (even better than Chanel mascara which is what I normally buy)

it is Max Factor Masterpiece Max and is very reasonably priced

lulumama · 22/06/2007 17:48

yes, the masterpiece one..bought it because on special offer in boots...about £8 i think
nicely full and thick lashes, no clumps , lasts all day

toomuchtodo · 23/06/2007 09:57

lulu, do you know if it is still on special?

the new l'oreal one (meant to extend your lashes - its the one penelope cruz is advertising) is very good. Think its on offer in superdrug too
