Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I like Benefit's Bad Gal Lash the best so far. I tried DiorShow and I'm not thrilled.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I adore fibre rich lash by MAC! I just love the look of it! If I could only keep one makeup item, I would keep just this, I love love love it. It never clumps up, and it's easy to remove.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Mine is DiorShow.
I haven't used it in nearly two years-I keep meaning to repurchase, but carry on trying to find something as good as it. I should realy give up (save myself some money!) and just go back to it.
However, other favourites of mine are: Chanel Extracils (feels so soft and creamy, beautiful mascara), MAC Zoom Lash, BeneFit Get Bent and Max Factor Masterpiece.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Another vote for Diorshow! But I agree with other people that it dries out far too quickly. A couple of others said they're not happy if a mascara only lasts them three months, but I'll be glad if my mascara lasts me that long, i seem to go through them pretty fast, which isn't good especially since Diorshow costs $49 here

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
my HG has been L'Oreal Lash Out for quite some time.
I'm a real sucker when L'Oreal comes out with new mascaras and I usually buy them just to try. I purchased the Telescopic about a month and a half ago, and when I tried it, i was not thrilled so I put it away in the back of my make up drawer. About 2 weeks ago I pulled it out and tried it again, and this time I loved it. I'm not sure if it has to do with the mascara possibly drying up a tiny bit and sitting for a month, or just a change of heart, but I really love what it does to my lashes. It's a bit tricky to apply, but once I got the hang of it i can use it for a natural look, or apply a few more coats for a more dramatic look. I'm going to buy a few more of them to stock up, just incase L'Oreal decide to cut it.
the big thing for me is that the mascara wand and brush need to be thinner and the same length throughout the brush. I don't like fat brushes or brushes that are curved or change shape. mostly because when I do my bottom lashes, i bring the brush up and under my lashes and twist and pull out. if the brush is too thick, i get it all over my lower lids. ew.
all my girl friends say i'm the fussiest when it comes to mascara. ;(

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
i have tried many different types of mascara's since i use to work at a drugstore and my favorite drugstore one is that purple tube mascara from covergirl and as far as dept store mascara's, i would have to say that Benefit's Bad Gal Lash is my hands down favorite.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Stila Major Lash. Nothing gets my lashes thicker, more voluminous, or darker. I can't live without it.
Least favorite? Diorshow or BadGal. I really like dramatic lashes, and those make you look like you're not wearing mascara. Bleh.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
For some reason I have a ton of mascara in my makeup case. Here are my favorites.
Department Store: Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara
Drug Store: 2000 Calorie Straight Brush Mascara
Here are the ones I just really can't stand. I have long lashes and the below mascara just does not work for them.
Department Store/High End: M·A·C Splashproof Lash
Drug Store: Maybelline Great Lash
I definatly will have to try Diorshow after reading all the good reviews about it.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
By MAC:
Love love love love LOVE Prep + Prime Lash. Quite possibly one of MAC's best items, for serious.
Fibre Rich Lash. Makes such lush long lashes.
Other brands:
DiorShow by Dior. Makes absolutely huge lashes, and I love the large brush.
Inimitable by Chanel. So silky.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Still looking... I have a thing for L'Oreal Full Definition Voluminous. After reading a few of your replies, though, DiorShow seems very tempting.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My current favorite? I LOVE Bourjois Yes to Volume! No to Clumps! Mascara. Its amazing- love love love love. I own 3 mascaras right now, becuase i can't stop testing them out. I like MAC Mascara X for a feathery look, and for a dramatic look I like the Bourjois, and for waterproof i just bought Splashproof Lash. We'll see how that one works.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
diorshow!!! But I think you have to have longer lashes for the brush, and covergirl lash exact! Lancome definicils is good too.
