Tubing mascara

Hi all. I have been buying Blinc tubing mascara from a beauty site on the internet. It’s the best ever with no smudging and gives me longer, prettier lashes. BUT it works out ( with postage) around £25!!!! Can anyone recommend a cheaper but just as good version??? I just cant afford that amount any more 😞

Boots do one.
Estée Lauder longwear an the Clinique version, which are my other go to's, are similar price to Blinc

L'oreal Paris Double Extension Mascara.

Boots no7 changed their formula and the new one isn't as good, Wilko do one called No More Panda eyes, it's about £3 and its fab!

I haven't used it yet but I bought Tarte Tubing Mascarac from QVC (duo pack was about £36 for 2 inc P&P but sold out now) -one for me /one for DD

DD has used it and said its really good , she's usualy a fan of Two Faced Better Than Sex mascara

I import MCo Beauty’s Xtendlash from Australia. Best I’ve found.

I really like mac extend play. I have the new boots one it's ok but prefer the mac. Also like Aldi waterproof too legit (fake benefit they're real)

Essence No More Panda Eyes from Wilko

Eyeko Lash Alert is tubing and great for volume and length. The No7 one did nothing for my lashes. The L'Oréal one is food but it seems to be discontinued now (the tubing one has red lids, the other ones aren't tubing)

TheChosenTwo · 26/12/2022 21:58

The only one I have ever used was the Hourglass one that came out I think last year but it’s probably a similar price (and possibly more but I don’t remember).
I recently bought myself the new MacStack mascara, don’t think it’s tubing but I was swayed by the advert - it add so much length but it has just highlighted the fact that I basically have very shit sparse lashes 😂

RandomMess · 26/12/2022 22:02

I use Mac at £20

Itsabeautifuldaytosavelives123 · 26/12/2022 22:27

I second Hourglass, I have two versions that came in a pack, both good.

JudyGemston · 26/12/2022 22:32

I’ve tried pretty much every tubing mascara out there. I love it and I don’t know why anyone uses anything else. Blinc used to be the best but now I prefer Hourglass, although it’s just as expensive if not more. The best one I’ve found by far is by an American company called Thrive Causemetics but I don’t think they deliver to the UK.

Pumpupthejampumpitup · 27/12/2022 06:30

Blinc have a sale on at the moment, so their tubing mascaras work out at just over £20 each. I see they’ve extended their tubing mascara options. I’m going to give a different one a go.

Paperdolly · 27/12/2022 06:56

Thanks all but as I said I want only tubing (it doesn’t smudge and can be removed with water) and I can’t afford to pay £20 for it. 🤷‍♀️

The Boots No7 one (gold packaging) is v good.

TranquilityofSolitude · 27/12/2022 07:19

Absolutely not a mascara expert, but aren't the Aldi "too legit" ones tubing? I have a different one at the moment, but I've had those before and liked them.

Twilightstarbright · 27/12/2022 07:28

I struggle with this too. I’m currently using the Clinique one but it’s not as good as it used to be.

I’m quite religious about getting rid of mascaras after 6m to avoid eye infections so I prefer to go cheap.

BelfastMaOf2 · 27/12/2022 07:29

This S&G one from boots is pretty good

They're not described as "tubing" but look at the description of this one www.eyeko.co.uk/limitless-lengthening-mascara-black/12708282.html

No, they aren’t.

Maybelline SkyHigh is a tubing mascara and under £20. I use it all the time, it's great
