Mascara misery - help!!

Can anyone recommend a mascara for sensitive(ish) eyes, that won't rub off and make me look like a panda by the end of the day? Ideally costing less than a tenner.
Every single one I've tried rubs off and leaves big sooty marks under my eyes. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated dahlings.

Blinc is great - it makes little tubes on your eyelashes then you soak it with water and they slide off. Sounds weird, I know. A bit more than a tenner though, I'm afraid.

clinique high impact bumperliscous on here recommended it to me she was so right it is fab, comes of with warm water alone does not smudge.Tbh it is 18 poundss but well,well worth it honestly.

I think you have to pay for a good mascara for sensitive eyes. I use Dior show but I have used clinique glossy in the past. Cheapy ones make my eyes itch.

Hello (thanks for the namechaeck darkandstormy), I do really recommend High Impact. I never used to wear mascara because of the panda eyes thing, even after cleaning I would have panda eyes, but I wear this one all the time, no panda eyes. Just bought my third tube a few weeks ago.

It is pricey though, but worth it if you'll wear it. Besides, if you think it is rubbish you could always take it back. I make a point of taking things back if I think they are rubbish, even if I have used them. If a company has faith in it's products it should have a money back guarantee.

Another vote for Blinc. It copes very well with my sensitive eyes and it is lovely to be able to take it off with water alone. You can order a trial size for £2.50.

I tried Blinc before clinique and didn't like it, but it is good that you can order a trial one.

I've heard this Bourjois one is good www.bourjois.co.uk/catalog/make_up/eyes/mascara/volume_glamour_ultra_care_mascara

I use ARtistry mascara - tried it at a friends who sells Amway, anyway, it is great and I wear contact lenses too.

Clinique is another nice one, but if you dont want to pay too much, try Barbra Daily at Tesco I have used some of her products and like them, much much cheaper than department store prices but equally as good.
