Great Lash and www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-The-Colossal-Volum-Express-Mascara_861877/Colossal have been recommended to me.

i'm using it, in waterproof, it is good but I can't seem to apply it without getting it on my eyelids....and then of course I can't just wipe off with wet cotton bud............

but it may be that i'm useless with curved wands!

I like them I got lash stiletto and volume something....

Miss Foodie M&S do a fantastic mascara corrector bud thingy in their cosmetic/beauty aids section. Really super

I tried the By Terry ones and now just keep a stock of these. The colossal and the purple one think its cat eyes extreme volume or something. Have been asked if wearing falsies so must be alright.

i have the pink one that looks the same as the colossal and it's great, i like a mascara that separates the lashes well!

I think they're good but also rate the l'oreal ones

I've used Great Lash for years and am very happy with it - although I have seen other posters complain that it is too watery.

Personally, I'd rather build up my coats of mascara rather than have a thick one so this suits me.

The main reason I use it is because it is easy to remove completely - which is important for me as I wear contact lenses you can sleep in.

I like them particularly the cats eyes one, really works!

MissFoodie · 11/04/2012 22:51

what are the cats eyes one????????????

MissFoodie · 11/04/2012 22:54

apologies, just realised the one I've got is the falsies waterproof with dodgy curved wand

Great Lash is fab and I use it as my day-to-day mascara because you can build up the coats to how you want.

For evening and nights out, I like L'oreal Million Lashes(?), it's in a gold tube. Really volumising and separates really good.

For cheap mascaras that do the job, Elf cosmetics is really good and only £1.50!
