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 😞

L’Oréal and Maybelline are nestle brands, in case you are a boycotter, OP.

Fozzleyplum · 27/12/2022 18:47

Apparently Wilko do one for about £3 odd. I think it's the green one, but no doubt a wise Mumsnetter will know which one.

There was quite a good thread about best tubing mascaras recently: www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/4529258-best-tubing-mascara?latest=1

Also Blinc sometimes do 20% off deals so make sure you are signed up to their emails.

Maybelline Snapscara

Yes, I love this. Moved on from the no. 7 one to it.

Laquila · 27/12/2022 20:51

I'm loyal to the No7 Stay Perfect, even after the apparent formula change (I can't tell any difference!)

raffegiraffe · 28/12/2022 00:28

I was looking at this today as was going to repurchase the No 7 one mentioned upthread but I think it's gone up so Instead I've ordered the essence bye bye panda eyes. It's £7 on Amazon. I can post back tomorrow how I find it

Hi,I like it better than the more expensive boots one. I did some before and after pics for ya. Good staying power, nice lengthening, not loads of volume but I don't think tubing ones are great at volume

SomethingAboutNothing · 30/12/2022 10:33

I use the boots No7. One linked above, but make sure you get that one and not the ultra one as that one is rubbish, doesn't come off at all!

OnceAgainWithFeeling · 30/12/2022 10:48

This is the MCo mascara.

I buy it when it’s on offer (regularly 30-40% off) and it works out about £12 a tube all in.

ThePoshUns · 30/12/2022 12:24

I only ever use tubing mascara. I used to use the boots one until they changed the formula, now I use this Clinique one.

That’s still around the £20 mark 🤷‍♀️

They sometimes do it half price on John Lewis.

FishnetsNightdressCrisis · 30/12/2022 20:23

I have just bought DHC perfect pro double protection mascara, which is a tubing one. I bought it from Sephora but they have I it on Amazon, a pack of two for around £22.

It's very comfortable to wear, removes easily, no smudging or flaking. It's good for lengthening. It's quite subtle, so better suited to natural or daytime makeup. I think 2 for £22 is very reasonable though.

Daftapath · 30/12/2022 20:29

I second (third) Eyeko mascara. I buy lash alert on Amazon and it's not much more than £10.

Brownsauce83 · 30/12/2022 20:34

L’Oréal double extension - the purple/burgundy tube. It’s brilliant and around £10. Much better than the Clinique and Mac tuning ones I’ve tried.

Paperdolly · 31/12/2022 13:04

I opted for the Mab. High Life yesterday. £11. Seems good so far. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Has maybelline snapscara been discontinued? I used this one a lot but can't find it anymore.
I'm currently using Essence Senstiive eyes & although I'm not sure it's tubing it's actually v good, doesn't smudge (my main issue as I blink heavily) & its really cheap.

RosyappleA · 31/12/2022 13:43

I always go back to loreal telescopic for length and no smudging even on very oily skin. Maybelline sky high too but too hard to get off for everyday use for me. Again no smudging and great length.

KirstenBlest · 31/12/2022 13:56

@NegroniLover , I think it has, but it was the first tubing mascara I used and it was a revelation. No flakes or smudges.

Neilsparentsarecomingfortea · 12/01/2023 18:14

Wow combo is a bargain
Last all day, cheap as chips. 100% tubing.
