I have tried so many, and like Benefit Rollerlash, but would like to hear if you have any swear-bys!

I like No 7 Stay Perfect in the gold tube. Good lengthening effect and it doesn’t smudge.

BeeFarseer · 03/03/2019 19:39

parks arse firmly on thread

I have no recommendations so I'm shamelessly here to hear other people's.

I like the effect of Benefit Bad Gal Bang, but it's dreadfully clumpy and needs a light hand.

L'Oréal paradise mascara.

It's brilliant.

Comes in a Rose gold tube.

I have used the benefit ones and this is better imho.

DeRigueurMortis · 03/03/2019 19:47

I cottoned onto it after this review from sali Hughes in the Guardian.

I second the l'oreal paradise mascara! My favourite.

Supine · 03/03/2019 20:40

I'm a L'oreal Telescopic devotee.

My DD (who has enviable eyelashes anyway) swears by Too Faced Better Than Sex.

its about £19-£20 . We got a couple of the mini mascaras at the new shop in Bluewater when it opened

She had LVLs done a couple of times , which means her eyelashes look great without the hassle of removing mascara .
They're getting to the stage where they need re done . If she wears mascara on top of the LVL she really does look like she's wearing false lashes !

FromageRay · 03/03/2019 21:45

I used to use Benefit They're Real but Bourjois Volume Reveal is just as good. No7 Lash Extender is amazing though, I have really short lashes and have been impressed with this one.

PixieDust20 · 03/03/2019 22:02

NYX Worth The Hype mascara is my go to. £9.99 x

Imacliche · 05/03/2019 16:10

You can get a lash primer/conditioner thing off amazon. You can wear it overnight to condition and help lashes grow. Or you can put it under mascara and you wouldnt believe the results! Ill find it and report back. Since using it my lashes are thicker and fuller too. Its honestly amazing. Also use it on my brows overnight.

Imacliche · 05/03/2019 16:12

Here it is. Im not far off running out and will deffo be ordering more

Great replies and I will check these out! However the Better Than Sex mascara was a disaster for me, the brush looked amazing so bought one straight away, I’ve never known such a smudging running mascara ! Didn’t work for me and really wish it had .

Imacliche ive just ordered the lash booster thank you.

Imacliche · 06/03/2019 17:44

No problem wellies. It's honestly amazing. Makes my lashes look false. Even with a bog standard 3 quid ELF mascara

Imacliche · 06/03/2019 17:46

Oh and a little tip. You can layer it up too to get a really dramatic look. Put it on like you do mascara. Give it a couple of seconds to dry then go in again. Then put mascara on top. Report back when youve tried it. I swear by it.

Eliza9917 · 06/03/2019 20:20

Another vote for They're Real here too. I had a thread the other week asking for others that equal it but I'm just going to buy another TR now.

BusySittingDown · 06/03/2019 21:25

Maybelline Lash sensational. It's about £8 but I bought 2 for £12 in Tesco the other day.

Wakk · 06/03/2019 21:29

Two faced better than sex was the worst I e ever used. Smudgy and gloopy.

I like the one in the rose gold tube too.

Fluffypot333 · 06/03/2019 21:31

L oreal voluminous and paradise are both excellent

firsttimemummy11 · 06/03/2019 21:35

The Collection waterproof mascara is amazing and works wonders for my lashes and it's only £4.99!

I've tried quite a few much more expensive ones but this one if by far my favourite!

saltymofo · 06/03/2019 21:39

My top 3 are:

  1. Benefit Rollerlash - I only ever buy the minis for £10 in boots as they never seem to run out before they need changing so why buy the big one?
  2. Max Factor Masterpiece Max - about £10
  3. L'Oréal Paradise ( the most clumpy but I do like it)
Chicinwellies · 06/03/2019 21:41

Wakk I’m totally with you on that. Someone is having shit sex in the brand development department of too faced.

Chicinwellies · 06/03/2019 21:44

Firsttimemummy11 really? Happy to risk a fiver on it tomorrow but wonder what you think it beats, have you tried rollerlash? Saltymofo is masterpiece max more lengthening than roller?

Chicinwellies · 06/03/2019 21:45
