I'm usually in Dior Pump n Volume but I wear make up once a week max so wasn't sure about spending £35 on it.

Max factor do some nice ones

There was a whole thread on the L’Oréal Panorama one.

Came to recommend this one. I've ditched the expensive ones in favour of this.

Elf tubing mascara is good

Been converted to loreal panorama. I’ve tried lots of high end ones but this one wins hands down. Adds length and volume and doesn't budge! As someone with sensitive eyes im so happy to find the one that works best is also budget friendly.

Collection lash surge is good

Try Aldi girl gone bad.I've tried most mascaras over the years and honestly for the price it is amazing.Gives length and volume is easy to apply and doesn't smudge.

What do you like about your current mascara?

I use Bourjois volume glamour ultra black. It lifts and gives me noticeable volume, without looking heavy or like false lashes. It also lasts all day, but without giving my eyelashes a crispy clumpy feeling, which I hate.

Lancome hypnose is great

L'Oréal Panorama is fantastic!

It was recommended by a friend who loves makeup and it gives me a doe eyed look. I have long eyelashes naturally but they are my best feature. I might try the loreal one!

L'Oréal Panorama! Best I've used

Putmeinsummer · 05/09/2024 11:13

Clinique lash power is the only one I will entertain

On a budget?

I bought the Loreal one based on that other thread but I don't really like it. It clumps my eyelashes together too much.

Girlslikepearls · 05/09/2024 16:09

I've just bought LOreal Panorama to give it a go as I'm fed up with paying nearly £30 for Lancome Hypnose (even on offer it's still close to £25 and lasts me 3 months.)

L Oreal seems to lengthen well but doesn't give quite the volume of Hypnose, but it seems to last longer. I found Hypnose started to flake by the evening.
It definitely separated the lashes and didn't clump them no matter how many coats I used.

The downside was it took a lot of removing.
But for £12.99 compared to £29 I'd still buy it.

I'd also rate Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye mascara but it's £32 .

Lancome hypnose is great

I've used it for years but it seems to dry out faster in the tube now and is £29.
It's a bit better when there are gift sets around Christmas when you get 3 small trial sizes of their other ones in a pack.

I love Benefit They're Real

cactuswoman · 09/09/2024 15:49

I bought the L'Oréal panorama one on recommendation of this forum, and it definitely stood up as a good purchase!!

Realdeal1 · 09/09/2024 18:17

I ended up buying dior again...
