are cheap mascaras any good? can you recommend one?

[groak]

the criteria is:

Brown colour rather than black

pref at boots and less than £5.44 as that is my points total and I'm having to budget

Pref waterproof

I don't wear makeup very often, and nearly fell over looking at cheaper end brands in boots today (never got to the premium brands with the super all glam counters! I'd have probably vomited at the prices) It doesn't need to be a super dooper all singing ash re-enforcement big blow up super curly glam sort of mascara, just one that, er, well, makes your eyelashes look nicer?

I have used maybelline great lash mascara,just checked it's £5.19 in boots at the moment (was on there looking for something else) & it's really quite a good one.

Boots Natural Collection mascara is actually quite good - 3 items for £5!! bargain . They do a Waterguard one in this range for £1.99.

I use maybelline great lash, I have tried many inc premium and cheap ones but always go back to this one.
