can we have a cheap mascara thread and vote?

[Jaffacakesallround]

coming to the end of my Hypnose and although JL has 2 for £32 at the mo, it still seems steep when I'm only getting 3 months out of it.

I tried Rimmel The Falsies recommended by Sali Hughes and it was ok- not bad- but have hear good things about Max F Calorie 2000.

Used to use L'Oreal but haven't for ages and no idea which ones are good.

Any ideas- say up to £12?

Best friend has recently tried Maybelline The Rocket and raves about it. I like Avon Supershock, it's a rubber brush but the bristles are quite thick - I find rubber brushes a bit weedy for my lashes generally.

Avon is great.
So too is Essence- a cheap as chips brand. It's in an orange tube

Maybelline Stiletto waterproof mascara - buy it from eBay for about £3

The miss manga one gets my vote at the moment - it performs as well as any of the £££ ones I've had

I like Maybelline Great lash it's a pink and green bottle. I think it's about £7

I love the Max Factor 2000 Calorie one.

Natural Collection waterproof mascara is great and only £2!

I've recently switched to Max Factor 2000 calorie, and it's good but not quite as good if say as Maybelline Colossal (the yellow one).

Marking my place on this. I'm sick of clumpy mascara!

I'm loving the soap & glory one I got in Yule Monty set I believe it's £10 but no clumpiness or gloppy just great lift and definition

Don't shoot me but I'm currently using and loving the primark £1.50 mascara, I thought I'd give it a shot after find out out that their liquid eyeliner was my holy grail product and only £1. I'll be gutted if they discontinue it.

Using l'oreal False Lash Telescopic ATM and it's fab.

It's all down to the brush. I went into Dior to ask for a sample of the latest mascara that I hadn't tried and was told it is only the brush that changes and gave me a brush to use in my existing mascara

Another vote for Natural Collection waterproof.

I used Maybeline Great lash in the 60s ( yes!) and tried again not long ago- it seemed very brittle and made my eyelashes very brittle and clumpy.

I need about 4 coats of mascara because my lashes are very very short. I need something that gives length and volume but won't clump .

Barry M Lash Modelling. I love this mascara so much.

i tried loads - cheap and the not so cheap but i always end up going back to Max Factor Masterpiece Max (or even the original masterpiece one in the gold tube)

its about a tenner.

wins hands down.

I too always end up back with MF Masterpiece Max. It is really good

JML mascara don't know if you can buy separately but I bought it with the mineral foundation stuff and got it free, it's brilliant makes lashes look really long, no clumps and washes off without looking like a panda well worth £7.99 on its own

My favourite cheap one is Max Factor (not sure of it's exact name but it's in a purple tube and costs £10.99). I used to use Max Factor 2000 Calorie but I don't like the brush, the Max Factor in the purple tube has a curved arch brush that I love.

Everyday collection 2000 long and luscious I think it's called. Cheap as chips and wear everyday.

loreal this gives amazing big lashes

L'Oreal Telescopic. I go back to it time after time, it's easily as good as Benefit They're Real.

I've been looking for new mascara round this mark. Rough prices guide MAC £14 they look nice. Pixi cosmetics £12.50 and 6 good reviews. I heard LOLA was good (m&s) again £12.

Last time I tried a L'oreal or Rimmel mascara I was disappointed. I like the free small mascaras they give away (Lancôme Clinique etc) but they don't sell them.

Anyway over next few months i intend to try above so will report back.

Have always used and loved Max factor masterpiece max, but it has been irritating my eyes recently and flaking quite a bit.

Have now bought this to try and its great. Goes on nicely, no clumping or flaking and non irritating.

So far, so good and quite a bit cheaper than the Max factor.
