I just keep wasting money on them and cant find one I'm happy with. My requirements are:
Doesn't clump
Doesn't smudge
Easy to remove - without hot water! I use make up remover or baby wipes.
Max £20

I've tried the gold number 7 one that everyone raves abut but it's a nightmare to get off. I hate the way it flakes all over your face. I cant use lots of water on my eyes they are sensitive and the skin around them is dry.

YSL the shock is the best mascara, I wouldn’t use anything else. Might be a bit over your budget but it’s always on offer this time of year and you can sometimes find it in TK Maxx

NorbertMeubles · 12/12/2020 09:08

Collection Lash Surge!!!! It is amazing!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/12/2020 09:29

Benefit Rollerlash is the best I've ever used. It might be a bit over £20 but I wait for when it's on offer. They often do a deal whereby you get a mini one alongside the full sized one.

I love Benefit They're Real. I use miscellar water to remove with no issues.

pinkcattydude · 12/12/2020 09:40

Benefit roller lash only one I buy again and again

laughoutquiet · 12/12/2020 10:18

Tarte Lights, Camera, Action.

I'm converted!

AngusThermopyle · 12/12/2020 10:22

Another vote from me for the Benefit Roller lash.

missyB1 · 12/12/2020 10:29

oooh thanks for the recommendations I'm madly googling now!

Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara. I always get cheap as chips on amazon
Turns my white blonde stumps into lucious lashes and never smudges

Believe me I’ve tried them all

Moonflower12 · 12/12/2020 10:47

Lancôme Hypnose. (Sp?)
It's on offer very often and just over your budget but amazing. And a tube lasts ages.

Moonflower12 · 12/12/2020 10:49

It's on offer at Boots and JL with extras too.

TheWashingMachine · 13/12/2020 12:06

I love the boots purple number 7 with the blue stripe, but I have long eyelashes, but it does not clump or smudge. I've tried others but I always come back to it. It doesn't give volume.

withlotsoflove · 13/12/2020 13:16

Avon 5 in one.

Alldayeveryday200 · 13/12/2020 13:30

Dior Diorshow. All I've used.

cretelover · 13/12/2020 13:33

Abother vote for hypnose, as as a pp says you can get it with extras around now, one big and 3 little ones usually. I find hypnose drama the best

Whereland · 13/12/2020 13:38

I love clarins be long. Just a great every day mascara. No bells and whistles just makes my lashes blacker and longer!

DrDavidBanner · 13/12/2020 13:50

I always go back to Volume Million Lashes, the one in the green tube with the curvy brush.

78percentLindt · 13/12/2020 13:55

I am currently using a Aldi one, which is not clumping. I usually use no 7 gold one, but this is better.

Fishfingersandwichplease · 13/12/2020 15:11

Benefit they're real. Every time l try others l always go back to it.

DidgeDoolittle · 13/12/2020 15:14

Another vote for Benefit- They're Real. Best ever.

Darklane · 13/12/2020 16:41

Another vote for Max Factor 2000 Calorie

mystitchername · 13/12/2020 16:49

Borjois volume reveal. I have it on subscribe and save from amazon. It's around £10 or so. I don't use the waterproof one and I find it easy to remove with facial wipes. Doesn't smudge. I don't find it clumps either, but I have a new mascara every six weeks, so none of mine ever get to the stage where they go clumpy.

missyB1 · 13/12/2020 20:42

I think it’s between Lancôme and Benefit. Eeek! Hope I get it right this time.

The Ultimate is Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme.

Soap and Glory are all very good budget options too.

TrialOfStyle · 13/12/2020 21:23

Agree with Benefit, though my preference is Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes.
