Mascara - one that volumises (but not clumpy) lengthens and goes on nice and smooth - please advise me!

[Jewelsandgems]

So, yes. Not clumpy, and makes my lashes look really long. Am running low on my virtose by lancome, and wondering if there are any others that I am discounting, when on they could be excellent. So, budget is around £20. Oh and would like it to be one coat everdaywear, 2 coats nighttime glamour.

I have been recommended maybelline great lash mascara, but already have that and don't like it.

My lashes are already not that short, but quite fine.

Benefit - is the best one I've ever used, it's ace.

Max Factor 2000 calories is good. And they were 3 for 2 in Superdrug before Christmas.

Well girls I bought....(drum roll.....) the Estee lauder projectionist one. I just fancied a change from the lancome ones I have been using for years. And I have to admit, to being very pleasently surprised - my eyelashes are postively fluttery and very lonnnng, not clumpy and the brush really gets to those lashes right on the outside of your eye.

The boots offer was fantastic, but I got my Estee lauder mascara for just £6 for a full size brand new in sealed box, off ebay. So you can't go wrong there.

I'll try the estee lauder one next time.

I bought 2 lancome ones in the boots sets with the intension of giving one away for a birthday present.

Defencils and virtuose I think. Not sure which one to keep though

Oooh that is a hard one auntiemaggie!

You could do one eye with one, and one with the other, and see which one looks best

I just got the hypnose in the boots deal as my definicils was quite dry. I prefer the hypnose tbh.

i tried the hypnose last time and found that dry but it might have been because it was the waterproof one.

TBH I think I'm going to have to have a make up trip where I try loads of stuff out as I'm after a new foundation too. I've had my clinique one for about 2 years now and it can't be good.

I keep my makeup fairly near to a radiator and I'm sure that probably doesnt help over time.

Does anyone else find that Lancome mascaras loo great when first applied but then like nothing within a couple of hours? Or is that just that I curl my lashes and the curl drops? Have stuck with Lancome for years too.

One of the things DP got me was the Benefit Bad Gal mascara but it's blue so still need a black one. I tried the black one before but didn't like it for an everyday mascara but can't remember why.

Another fan of Avon SuperShock here. I think its fab, and quite often on special at a fiver!

I got the benefit one for xmas - not as good as dior or Lancome

I have used the benefit one (the one with the bent brush) and though it was good, I found the consistency really oily, and it got really thick in the tube within just a few weeks.

Has anyone tried those beauty tube mascaras?

Diorshow - bloody brilliant
