They all promise the earth and can be really expensive! I really love Max Factor masterpiece mascara

It cost's £10 ish. Doesn't clump my lashes and is not as expensive as others. Also I have sensitive eyes and find it really easy to remove and very gentle.

I agree 2000 calorie is excellent too x

Max Factor False Lash Effect is good (better than masterpiece IMO).
Maybelline one in big yellow tube (can't remember name but it's really good).

For pricier ones, Lancome do some good ones and I know a lot of people swear by Benefit's one.

benefit bad gal lash is fab

2000 Calorie by Max Factor.

Can get clumpy on your lashes so make sure each coat is dry before next one.

I also keep an old clean mascara-free wand to comb through lashes between each application. Sounds like a faff but I would end up with three very thick eyelashes on each eye if I didn't do that!

I second the benefit bad gal one but also like clinique high impact

hypnose from lancome is good - i also ust got the maybelline collasal lashes to try out - seems to be good but hypnose is really good

Elizabeth Arden do one that is fab although can't remember name.

Sumptuous by Estee Lauder is also another good one.
