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?

Soap and glorys mascara is really good, doesn't clump or smudge.

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Lash at £7.99. I bought it when I'd gone away and left my mascara behind. Didn't want to spend a lot (usually use Lancome Definacils) and really like it. Not sure it will accelerate growth.....we'll see.

MUA lash boom in the purple tube is pretty impressive and only about £2,

I like Max Factor 2000 calorie and my last one was only £2.99 from B&Ms! I also got a Constance Carroll mega volume mascara for 99p and it was pretty good (think you can also get these on Amazon).

Soap and glory is very good

Avon Infinitize (orange tube). Normally a tenner but I stock up when it's on offer. I usually curl my lashes before mascara, but don't need to with this Smile

I use two. I have a cheap miss sporty one and an avon super something.

I use the super something first then the cheap miss sporty one to separate lashes

Usually wear Lancôme but bought soap and glory one last week, the first time I put too much on and it went really really clumpy but now getting on well with it, I haven't even needed to curl my lashes first so it must be good.

Now gonna try soap and glory!

Primark & Avon Supershock. Collection 2000 isnt too bad either, around £2.99. Ive given up on expensive mascaras having found that I can buy cheaper brands that give me the falsies look I like

BOFtastic · 04/02/2014 02:54

There's a Collection mascara in Boots at the moment for £2.50. Seems it's slightly more in Superdrug, but it's perfectly nice and does the job.

Pretty much any of the Maybelline ones. I've got really sensitive eyes and none of the Maybelline mascaras cause me any problems at all. Currently using the "plush" one but I've used the Colossal one, the Falsies one, the Volume Up one....They're all much of a muchness really and all very good for the price.
I used to use Lancome mascara but I stick to Maybelline now. Just as good at a fraction of the price.

I have a soap and glory one I got in a christmas gift set. Like it so far.
