I currently have conjunctivitis, thanks 16mo ds. I need to buy a new mascara so I don't keep reinfecting myself with the one i've been wearing. Been using Benefit They're Real for many years and loved it, just wanted to see if theres something new before I replace this one. Cheaper is brilliant but happy to spend a bit of money as I don't wear it every day and it lasts me quite a long time.

I used to use Maybelline which was fine but a friend gave me a Christian Dior one, I think Pump n Volume, which was amazing. My lashes are long anyway but with this, were so striking and made a huge thickening difference.

I like Benefit Roller lash. My fav. But I do love They're Real Primer though!

A current cgeap fave is loreal paradise. I've used benefit and I'm currently trying the paradise. It's certainly thick and perfectly good, but not as good.

BusterGonad · 28/02/2019 08:54

And most Max Factors are brilliant as a cheaper option!

Eyeko Black magic

I adore No.7 Stay Perfect mascara. It’s a ‘tubing’ formulation and so there are no panda eyes, ever!

HaventGotAllDay · 28/02/2019 12:44

Eesha has it.
Dior Pump and Volume is amazing. The only mascara I repeat buy. As long as they make it, I'll never change. My boss came in wearing it one day two years ago and I thought she'd had extensions and a facelift during lunch.

I have tried They're Real in the past and ended up looking like a gloopy panda. Lancone hypnose left me meh.

But the Dior is incredible and worth every penny. I'm currently using a Max Fac that I got in a free bundle and it's pants. I don't look any different after 3 coats.

Dior Hypnose or even better Dior Drama.

I wait for JL to do offers around Xmas and buy them with 20% off.

JinglingHellsBells · 28/02/2019 13:42

Sorry- senior moment- LANCOME.

Thedarklady · 28/02/2019 13:45

Why not buy one of the mini Benefit ones? They sell them in half sizes. If you need to throw it away, then you're not wasting a full size.

DorothyZbornak · 28/02/2019 17:17

I like Benefit Bad Gal Bang. Hate the stupid name though.

Richlyfruited · 28/02/2019 19:49

I wear Eyeko Black Magic when I'm going out - it's amazing!

For daily use, I have a range of favourites I rotate depending on what's on offer, Max Factor 2000 calorie, Rimmel extra super lash and various Maybelline ones which all seem to be good for the price!

beanaseireann · 28/02/2019 20:37

DD2 has dumped her Benefit They're Real for Chanel Le Volume on my recommendation.
I'll try the Dior Pump and Volume next Eesha and HaventGotAllDay

SukisKettle · 28/02/2019 20:40

Estée Lauder Double Wear. It's a tubing mascara so it doesn't run and lengthens lashes. My lashes are currently short, stubby and going in different directions since an unfortunate incident involving a lash lift but this mascara makes them look great!

Eesha · 28/02/2019 22:47

@HaventGotAllDay thanks for the vote of confidence. My friend who got it for me is a beauty junkie! I have never used the white bit that came with it, does that make a huge difference?
