Thank you. It was the inimitable intense. But seeing if there's another maybe cheaper option. I used to have a Revlon one years ago and also the Badgal Plum but can't find one anywhere now

Benefit Bad gal plum was discontinued years ago, sadly.

ByTerry and Dior do a plum mascara much pricier though.

DarthMaiden · 09/09/2017 14:34

Clarins and Clinique both do plum mascara.

You can get the clarins one for 10.99 on Amazon

Benefit also do a purple that might work?

Auldspinster · 09/09/2017 14:38

Kiko do one for less than a fiver.

Neverknowing · 09/09/2017 14:39

Nyx do a purple one that's quite cheap? It might be too bright though? Worth a try Smile

RupertPsmith · 09/09/2017 14:45

This YSL one comes in violet and burgundy. I have the former and can confirm that it's fairly muted.

Auldspinster · 09/09/2017 14:45

I've got the nyx purple one, it's not great.

Here's a screenshot of the kiko one.

No cheaper than Chanel, probably!

Onynx · 09/09/2017 14:49

I've a Mac purply/plummy colour but again not great- it was a gift & I definitely wouldn't purchase.

deaddeadgood · 09/09/2017 15:21

That's good to know about the purple one. I've not tried that colour
What's the kiko mascara like? And good?

I've found a couple of the ysl ones in the John Lewis website thanks guys

So it's looking like ysl, kiko. And I've found byterry and nars too now. But byTerry is even more pricey!
Apologies for my crap typos. My nails have passed the optimal length for typing!

I use a Dr Hauschka one in plum or aubergine I think, I think I bought it from the John Lewis website. I like it but it's a very subtle dark colour

IsadoraQuagmire · 09/09/2017 15:50

I've had the YSL one in burgundy before as well as often buying the violet (which is my favourite) They're both really nice, not too over the top, but the colour shows up well under strong light. I have the blue one at the moment, that's pretty too.
Expensive though! Sad

dinosaursandtea · 09/09/2017 17:37

Oh man, has Chanel been discontinued?!

deaddeadgood · 09/09/2017 17:43

I can't find it. I had it in my hand a few weeks ago at the airport but put it back arrgghh

domesticslattern · 09/09/2017 18:33

I have the Mac one and can confirm it is totally shit.

SinglePringle · 09/09/2017 18:39

I've got the Kiko one. You inspired me to revisit today!

It's ok - a nice enough mascara. Bit clumpy but I comb through anyway. Good length.

Not so plum that you'd notice BUT softer than a black and more flattering than a brown.

poppym12 · 09/09/2017 18:59

I bought the kiko one, a jane iredale one, a very expensive organic natural one and the nyx one (more purple than plum).

I loved the kiko one but after wearing it for a few hours, my eyes were sore, swollen and bloodshot. Same happened with the other brands I tried but only purple, plum or blue/navy so there must be a colouring in them I can't use 😠

I do recommend the kiko one though if you have normal allergy free eyes.

Auldspinster · 10/09/2017 10:23

I only got the kiko one on Thursday and have only worn it once but like it so far.

I have brown eyes with a lot of green and already line my eyes with burgandy pencil to bring the green out so plum mascara on the lower lashes just adds to it.

Branleuse · 10/09/2017 10:27

Have you looked at Sephora. They do tonnes of colours for mascara and dont smudge

Auldspinster · 10/09/2017 10:28

Here's a pic with the plum mascara and liner.

That looks lovely spinster.
Never think of Sephora as I always think of them as an American brand. There's a Kiko in town I just need to get in there

deaddeadgood · 12/09/2017 18:28

Right. I am a dick. Just checked my Chanel and it says number 50 on it which seems to mean purple, not prune. Think I was confusing it with the other Chanel volume one. 'Tis weird though as the purple looks very purple not plum iyswim
