What was the cheap mascara everyone was recommending the other week?

Was it collection 2000? I remember some talk about it

gingerbreadbiscuits · 30/04/2018 15:07

I think so.

I just googled, collection lash surge! I haven't tried it but people seemed to be quite enthusiastic

gingerbreadbiscuits · 30/04/2018 15:29

Thank you. I will give it a go.

I bought the Collection Lash Surge on the recommendation on here and love it . I have spent a fortune over the years in pursuit of the perfect mascara and it is amazing , especially at the price point .

Bluesheep8 · 30/04/2018 18:11

I like rimmel wonderfull, have repeat purchased many times.

RosieCockle · 30/04/2018 20:50

Dunno if it's the one you mean but after years of expensive mascaras I saw all the noise online about essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and it's bloody brill. £3.50 ish from Wilko.

AuntyJackiesBrothersSistersBoy · 30/04/2018 20:54

I recommended Collection Lash Surge at £4 as a Lancome Hypnose dupe.

@SpeckledyHen.... you’re welcome Wink

Apollinare · 30/04/2018 22:32

I bought Collection lash surge after the recommendation on here.. bought a second today and will never buy expensive Lancome again. Thanks who ever said it was a great dupe!

AuntyJackiesBrothersSistersBoy · 30/04/2018 23:16

@Appolinare....it was me!! When they’re in 3 for 2 I stock up. I like the black brown for day and the black for night.

Nicketynac · 30/04/2018 23:19

I bought the Lash Surge... Didn't like it! Went on nicely but it smudged on my oily eyelids.

Littlelambpeep · 30/04/2018 23:23

Where do you get the collection one?

SpeckledyHen · 01/05/2018 06:15

No no thank you Aunty :)

Do you have any more recommendations ?

MinesaPinot · 01/05/2018 08:50

I got the Collection Lash Surge, and I lasted 2 weeks with it before it went all gloopy on me. I chucked it in the end.

I'm liking the No. 7 one in the glittery gold tube at the moment, but am having a hankering to go back to my usual Clinique High Impact.

systemlakeland · 01/05/2018 09:41

Max Factor False Lash Effect Waterproof.

Got it 3for2 in Superdrug.

I wouldn't say it gives me a false lash effect, but at my age I wasn't really looking for that. It's a good basic mascara and it suits me fine.

AuntyJackiesBrothersSistersBoy · 01/05/2018 10:28

Natural Collection (Boots brand) Long Lasting Foundation. Great reviews. I’ve not found oxidisation at all, as some say. £2.99. I have Chanel Les Beiges which takes a backseat, at the moment. Only downside....no spf but then I wear spf 25 in my moisturiser each day.

FormerlyFrikadela01 · 01/05/2018 11:55

I personally found the lash surge one picked up too much product on the wand so I had super clumsy lashes.

Open to suggestions for other cruelty free cheapies though

Goosegettingfat · 01/05/2018 16:03

Ditto cruelty free suggestions for mascara. I found bare faced minerals regular mascara good. But quite expensive

AuntyJackiesBrothersSistersBoy · 01/05/2018 17:56

Oh dear, I must have been lucky with non clumping. I’ve had 6 or 7, they’ve been fine. I tried them initially because I wanted to bin them every 6 weeks or so and couldn’t justify it, with expensive mascaras.

Ladybirdbookworm · 01/05/2018 18:16

I've bought the collection mascara that Aunty recommended and it's fabulous
I will never buy another Lancome mascara again.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 01/05/2018 18:25

I also bought the lash surge, bloody awful, heavy and gloopy.
Felt like I was putting treacle on my lashes.

SpeckledyHen · 01/05/2018 20:07

With all mascaras I always scrape off most of it before applying and then build up thin layers . No glooping or clogging with the lash surge :)
