I usually use two faced better than sex but can't really justify £22 on a mascara currently.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Essence lash Princess. You can find it in Wilco or on amazon

I have tried loads over the years and I keep coming back to this one. First read about it as a recommendation by Nigella `Lawson in Sunday Times style - think it is brilliant and really makes your eyelashes look longer.

Rimmel. Goes on nicely, stays on, and washes off when you need it to. Brush is good and big enough.

L'Oréal paradise is a good dupe of better than sex. I'm using revolution 5D lash pow at the moment and that's pretty good. L'Oréal sky high is also good

Like others I've used Wilkos Essence Lash Princess and would recommend it for a cheap one but have recently found Essence I love Extreme crazy volume Mascara and I prefer it. It lasts fairly well and gives very good volume! www.wilko.com/en-uk/essence-i-love-crazy-volume-mascara-black/p/0340292

Hope this helps :)

L’Oréal is a Nestle company.

Not 100% sure of the name but the primark one in the gold tube is my favourite, it's about £3. All of their (very obvious) dupes are good and a fraction of the cost of what they copy but the gold one is my preference.
