Best budget mascaras?

[PollyPerky]

Okay, love Lancome Hypnose but can't help thinking £25 ish every 3 months is way too much for mascara.

I've got sparse fair lashes and need 3-4 coats to even look as if I have any lashes.

So what do you lot suggest?

This is what I've tried so far

The Falsies - builds ok but brittle and terrible to remove
Max Factor maxi-something- not impressed at all
Maybelline (pink tube) - hard brittle lashes
Bourjois Push up (recommended by Sali Hughes) builds well, but -the neck of the tube is wide , the mascara comes out all over the threads of the tube and my hands, make up bag etc , when you push the brush back in and close the tube up. Seems to flake during the day.

I need volume, no clumping, no hard spidery eyelashes.....

Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde, fantastic and on 2 for £14 in Boots at the minute.

I like L'oreal telescopic in very black it's about a tenner

L'oreal mascaras are fantastic - I've tried Volume Million, Miss Manga and Telescopic and loved and repurchased them all.

Also having success at the moment with Rimmel 3D Effect

No. 7 in the gold tube

I've just bought one of the Aldi ones - it's brilliant!
