Tubing mascara not expensive!

Hiya I have tried the glossier one and currently have No7 Stay perfect which I quite like but it does flake a bit. Any recommendations for others - £15 or under? Thanks

Al’iver mascara (Amazon) approx £7.99 is great and so is L’Oréal Lash Paradise.

I live in Aus. Not sure you can get this brand, but if you can it’s cheap and it’s fabulous.
(Can be purchased just about anywhere here.
This is one example.)

@NeunundneunzigHorseBallonz looks like you can get this on Amazon here in the UK, thanks!

I like Sensai 38c mascara and currently have Kevyn Aucoin one. Kevyn Aucoin washes easier than Sensai but it flakes a little. they're both quite pricey so following this thread with interest.
Anyone knows of good brown tubing mascara that doesn’t cost much?

SoIinvictus · 15/10/2023 07:50

Maybelline Sky High.
The best I've tried so far.

Squirrelsnut · 15/10/2023 07:55

I'm using Snapscara currently and I really like it. It was £5 on Amazon. The Clinique one wasn't nearly as good in terms of staying power. Snapscara does brown too.

Rosiiee · 15/10/2023 07:57

Maybelline snapscara is the best I’ve come across. Doesn’t smudge, doesn’t flake, got caught in a storm with it and no panda eyes. It’s amazing but I’ve found it hard to come across lately so I’ve been buying it in bulk online.

I love Estée Lauder double wear mascara. Used it for years & years but spent aaaages looking for an alternative tubing mascara.

This is the best I've found (still not AS good but it's up there):

I’ve tried Snapscara and lash paradise and both smudged and flaked massively.

The No 7 is the only one to mostly stay put but still not completely flake proof.

Following with very vested interest!!

I use kylie lash, looks great and is cruelty free unlike L'Oréal, Clinique, Ester Lauder. It's usually £23 but Boots have it on offer for around £19

Big agree with this. It's about £6 on Amazon

RandalsAunty · 15/10/2023 11:08

Ordered Snapscara on Amazon 🤞🏻 is good.
I had the beauty pie one and while the product was good but the brush was really bad! The shape made my lashes stick together and mascara went all over eye lids.I think it would be good for someone with different lashes to mine - I’ve got fine shortish lashes.

This L'Oréal one is the best I have found.

The Mac tubing one in a blue tube is great!

spartanrunnergirl · 15/10/2023 18:04

Thanks for all the suggestions! A great range to try.

I guess I'm right in thinking then if the description says 'flake free' it's going to be tubing?

The ones I didn’t rate so far have been Snapscara (didn’t think the effect was that great) and Glossier one (think it was brown).

It’s good I’ve got options as I had no idea the EL Double Wear was tubing and I got it as gift with purchase.

Places like Superdrug are rubbish if you ask them if they have tubing mascara if you don’t know, well they certainly don’t know!
