What's your favourite Mascara??

[charleypops]

I'm sick of wasting money on rubbish mascaras. I need a new one this weekend, one that isn't cloggy, not too heavy, (but can be built up in layers for when I'm feeling dramatic) and makes my eyelashes look lustrous, silky and gorgeous. Oh, and won't dry out in the bottle after a couple of weeks (and no, I never pump the wand rapidly thereby introducing drying air bubbles into the bottle). Would love to discover a fab one that's not too expensive. Although will think about an expensive one if needs be.

Thanks!!

Franch, I had something to send you (can't remember what but it will come back to me, see, memory goes when you're 41), can't find your email, email me?

Think it was about childcare.

No, it was about private birth.

Clarins

Anchovies - The Rimmel one I have right now - Endless Length and Lift straightens my lashes - says on the "tube" it's supposed to curl them (blobs and dries them though). it was an emergency buy from Tesco.

Have emailed you motherinf

IT SMUDGES

smudging is the biggest problem with most mascaras IMO but perhaps I my eyelashes are more prone to smudging. Yeah, that would be right - substandard eyelashes

I have tried tonnes of different and mostly expensive ones - my main criteria being NO CLUMPING, goes on nice and wet iyswim. I have struggled to find a good expensive one so I started buying cheap ones and have discovered - to my delight - that Rimmel is the best - just it's basic one in a brown tube (can't remember the name)

I've never got on with mascaras - always end up looking like a knacekred panda. Now I die my eyelashes, so my favourite mascara is... Coloursport 30 day mascara in dark brown
Its very easy to use and gives surprisingly natural but effective results. Team it with a pair of eyelash curlers and your totally sorted IMO.

and of course its very cheap, time saving,clump-free and smudge-free too!

No one tried the Helena Reubenstein one?

bad gal lash by benefit is fab

but spacedonkey is it "fat"? or long?

both, but it doesn't clog at all

lancome mascara is very good too, extencils is good if you want long but not fat

thanks spacedonkey, it sounds lovely.

from yorkshire divers' website:

I use Lancome's Extencils, which I think is waterproof, because it doesn't come off when I do aqua aerobics (dive fitness is important y'know) or go swimming. And it doesn't need special stuff to take it off, normal makeup remover will do.

Who said that being girly and diving don't go together ?

Max Factor STRETCH - Classic Look is pretty good. Not too smudgy, goes on fairly well, not clumpy. Only criticism is that the brush is too chunky.

I vote for Bad Gal Lash by Benefit too.

Phew, I thought it was just me who had issues with that poxy Maybelline "best-seller". Magnificils or Extencils for me, I really think Lancome do the best. Like the sound of Spacedonkey's recommendation, though...only a Naughty Ass could have a raunchy mascara!

Another vote for Lancome - I use flextencils. They're not cheap, but I love them.

Lancome 1st, Clinique 2nd

I use clinique pretty lashes. It doesn't clog and it lengthens. And it doesn't irritate my eyes.

The Clinique stuff in a silver tube.

is flextencils like extencils only flexi?
