It’s my favourite of all mascaras ever.

What shops have you got on your highstreet? Do you have a boots with lancome?

AwfulTed · 13/01/2023 20:33

Max factor 2000 calorie, no question.
I’ve used this for years and have many others (Lancôme, benefit etc) which sit unused because this is the only one which works for me. It’s thick, and doesn’t budge all day whereas the others just slide away into smudge under my eyes

I'm a mascara where, but return over and over again to L'Oréal Telescopic.

The tube doesn't seem to last as long as other brands, so I have to re-buy every 2-3 months, but its so good that I don't care!

(You probably SHOULD stick to this timeline for eye makeup anyway!)

Maybelline Sky High mascara is fantastic. Doesn't smudge and looks good.

WednesdayWitch · 13/01/2023 20:37

This one...

Lancôme Hypnose - original. The absolute best mascara, available in boots.

Primark £3.00 mascaras are the best I have ever tried and I used to work on make up counters using the most expensive ones. I was using clinique or Clarins but the primark ones are just as good and are so cheap.

ThatshallotBaby · 13/01/2023 20:41

I really like the original maybelline. Pink and green.

QueenAstrid · 13/01/2023 20:41

Another vote for Maybelline Sky High! Can get it on Amazon with next day delivery

ThreeChildrenWithSEN · 13/01/2023 20:44

Bodyshops sports mascara. I love it. You can even forget to take it off at night and its still there in the morning. If its on and dry it's totally smudgeproof. Or the one that comes in the thick yellow wand

Max factor 2000 calorie (or aqua lash if they still do it anywhere). I’ve used it for over 30 years. I always come back to it since it’s just so much better than any others

atteatimeeverybodyagrees · 13/01/2023 20:48

Max factor false lash

RedPandaFluff · 13/01/2023 20:49

I just started using Maybelline Colossal Curl Bounce mascara and it's great!

wheredotheygo · 13/01/2023 20:51

Wilko's Lash Princess. The one with the green writing on it. You can hardly ever get it as it's so popular but it's absolutely fantastic, thickening and volumising and last for ages. If you can get your hands on one I'd highly recommend. It's about £3.

Laurakiaora · 13/01/2023 20:53

Benefit's Roller Lash.

Too Faced's Better Than Sex.

Both available at Boots (if they have the concessions counters).

Charlotte Tilbury's Full Fat Lashes, though unsure if department stores carry that.

All excellent mascaras, though I appreciate not cheap.

PAFMO · 13/01/2023 20:53

Essence ones.
I tried Clinique, Lancome, Benefit etc, swore by Dior for years, then saw a thread on here about Essence.
£4 a pop. Beats the £30 ones hands down.

GiltEdges · 13/01/2023 20:57

Maybelline lash sensational is brilliant.

BigFloppa · 13/01/2023 21:09

Mabelline lash lift!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 13/01/2023 21:12

Maybelline Great Lash. That is a hill I will die on.

ThatshallotBaby · 13/01/2023 21:25

Yes @LadyMonicaBaddingham
That’s the one. It feels clean somehow. I think it’s the wand.

TCMolly · 13/01/2023 21:27

I just bought the Aldi one today, not tried it yet. I believe it's a dupe for Benefit.
