Soap and glory mascara (Boots) . I've stopped buying the overly expensive ones. I love it

WindsfromtheNE · 11/02/2019 08:34

Boots No7 in a gold tube. It will stay until the next day if you don't take it off.

L’Oreal Lash Paradise or Maybelline Total Temptation

Binglebong · 11/02/2019 08:44

Thank you! I shall check these out and buy the cheapest.

Primark Amplified in the gold tube.

£2 and it literally doesn’t move.

I always used to get panda eyes before I sued this and now I don’t use anything else.

Aldi extreme volume. I think it's about £2.49!

WhatTheFronti · 11/02/2019 12:08

I use the Aldi waterproof mascara during summer when in and out of pool/sweating buckets and it's great. Doesn't budge.

But last couple weeks I have been trialing flower beauty warrior mascara and I love it.
(Quite enamoured with whole range tbh just singing praises of primers on another thread 🤗 )

The primary amplified one is fab

Areyouongluedear · 11/02/2019 12:17

Bloody autocorrect! I meant primark amplified

Binglebong · 11/02/2019 15:25

Narrowing it down to what I can get - my Aldi doesn't stock mascara, no primark here and no flower beauty.

I want to try these all! But when did mascara get so expensive??

Rimmel extra super lash - lasts for two days with no smudging, flaking and they sell it in boots, Superdrug, Wilkos, Asda etc.

princessbear80 · 11/02/2019 15:46

I rate the Primark Amplified but I actually prefer Rimmel Extra 3D, which hopefully is easier to get hold of.

Binglebong · 11/02/2019 17:04

Ooh I know there are rimmel stands. That one looks possible!

OP posts:
Binglebong · 11/02/2019 17:17

Are those rimmel ones waterproof versions?

OP posts:
princessbear80 · 11/02/2019 19:33

The Rimmel one I use (3d extra) is not waterproof.

SassitudeandSparkle · 11/02/2019 19:39

I'm currently using a really cheap one from Boots, white tube, the really cheap Boots makeup range (natural collection) - no fibres in it as I have sensitive eyes but it seems to stay on.

GotRedOnYou · 12/02/2019 07:01

Yes you can get Rimmel extra super lash in waterproof but I use the normal one with no problems.

Rhinosaurus · 12/02/2019 07:04

This is great, comparable to Lancôme which I used to use but only £4.99

2000 calorie one in waterproof version is good

Areyouongluedear · 12/02/2019 19:34

Do you have a Superdrug near you? If so the collection range has a fab mascara that has a plastic wand which is really good for pulling out the little lashes... and their liquid eyeliner is the best I’ve ever tried. I’ll see if I can google which one...

Laiste · 12/02/2019 19:42

Any waterproof mascara will be better than a non waterproof.

I've tried lots of the ones mentioned here and a couple of £££ ones and some stay better than others but none have really impressed me tbh. Do your eyes water a lot or have you very 'oily' eye lids OP?

I have the oily eye lid thing and i'm finding Maybelline Colossal Big Shot Waterproof is staying on pretty well at the mo. £8 i think.

Areyouongluedear · 12/02/2019 19:42

It’s these ones £2.99 and I think you can order online

Essence Lash Princess at Wilkos Smile

I used to use maxfactor 2000 calorie which was amazing but now I just dye my eyelashes with black eyelure dye.
