Maybelline lash sensational :)

Bedsheets4knickers · 24/05/2018 22:17

Dior iconic

applecatchers36 · 24/05/2018 22:17

Estee Lauder double wear zero smudge

sherazade · 24/05/2018 22:28

L'Oréal paradise

GlitterFart · 24/05/2018 22:33

Dior Show New Look, it has a teeny brush which seems to suit my teeny eyelashes, it really grabs them all.
Also love Lancôme hypnose although it does dry out quickly.
On a high street note, L’Oréal Miss Baby Roll (wtf name) is surprisingly good

flufffysockks · 24/05/2018 22:36

L'Oréal telescopic

expatmigrant · 24/05/2018 22:42

Max Factor 2000 Calories.
Have tried others in the last 30 years but keep coming back to it.

Dungandbother · 24/05/2018 22:43

Eyeko Black Magic

Not particularly high street available so less mentioned on here but £18 on amazon and having tried them ALL FOR FREE for many years, I would happily pay double for Eyeko. I've done Lancome, Dior, Benefit....

I've stated my claim maybe 6 times in 6 years on MN for Eyeko - whenever I come across a Mascara thread.

( I won't pay double in case they ever read this - I'd go bare with wistful longing for my previous life)

L'Oréal telescopic. I switched to it after I forgot my Lancôme at home and was staying with MIL who gave me hers and never looked back. That was ten years ago Grin People ask me all the time what mascara I use because the effect is so good. Heartily recommended.

Eliza9917 · 25/05/2018 00:11

They're real by benefit

ovenchips · 25/05/2018 00:15

The fantastic Lancôme Hypnose dupe for a fiver - Collection's Lash Surge. From Boots/ Superdrug etc. Cheap as chips but sooo good. I was an instant convert.

gardeningnewbie · 25/05/2018 00:18

Bourjois volume reveal.

Used more expensive ones in the past which I also like, such as Dior, YSL, Bobbi brown, etc but always go back to bourjois.

butterry · 25/05/2018 00:46

Bobbi Brown No Smudge, only mascara that doesn’t rub off under my eyes!

Doingreat · 25/05/2018 01:59

Max factor false lash effect mascara extensions

@windybee... which primark mascara is it that you like? Do you have the full name? Would love to try it. Thanks

LadyOfTheCanyon · 25/05/2018 05:19

Lancôme here as well.

Bumblealong1 · 25/05/2018 05:26

I’ve tried dozens and dozens over last 20 years from £4 ones to £35 ones.
Max factor 2000 calories is by far my favourite. People I’ve recommended it too have all loved it.

AdidasGirl · 25/05/2018 06:16

YSL Faux Lash.

HildaZelda · 25/05/2018 10:17

I would have said Lancome Hypnose Drama. Used it for years and it was brilliant, but the last two tubes I've got have dried out really quickly and the formula just doesn't seem as good anymore.

I'm wondering if they've changed something in it?

Nanny67 · 25/05/2018 10:19

Miss Sporty from Superdrug - in the pink tube and only £2.99. I buy it repeatedly.

carterfyne · 25/05/2018 10:20

Lancome, Hypnose, or Hypnose Drama if you can master the fiddly wand. I've tried pretty much everything else but I always go back to this.

SleepingInYourFlowerbed · 25/05/2018 10:22

I do only have one mascara. Max Factor Masterpiece Max. Keep coming back to it when I dare to try a different one

Fabellini · 25/05/2018 10:26

Le Volume from Chanel.
I basically do only have one mascara, since discovering it a few years ago I wouldn’t use anything else.
If I had to pick only one colour to have, it’d be the navy.....probably.

ICJump · 25/05/2018 10:26

Blinc it’s a tubing mascara. It doesn’t budge.

IHaveBrilloHair · 25/05/2018 10:26

Blinc.

Sparklyshoes16 · 25/05/2018 11:04

Maybelline lash sensation & L'Oreal telescopic I alternate between these two and love them...when I've saved up every 6-8 months I buy YSL luxurious mascara...my lashes feel so beautiful and people always ask what I'm using when I wear this...it's just the price why I don't buy it more often!
