Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Oh my, I'm wondering why girls don't like MAC mascaras...I've only tried Pro Lash so far and it's amazing, best one ever. I guess it works only for me

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I generally love L'Oreal mascaras. I think they have the best drugstore brand mascaras. I particularly love their Volume Shocking in Blackest Black (the primer is really good and it separates the lashes) and the Telescopic Mascara. These are great for short fine lashes.
I really dislike the new Revlon 3D Exteme mascara. The bristles are 3 different sizes and its super clumpy and some of the bristles are so short that it picks up too much product. I have short, curly lashes and almost non existant lower lashes and its terrible for short lashes.
I also dont like Maybelline Great Lash, its totally overrated.
I have not tried many high end mascaras, but I always hear that Lancome is great and they have a new one out called Courbe Virtuose that is supposed to be the best ever mascara made. I'm going to definately try it!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I agree with Ivy! I just purchased the L'Oreal Telescopic is amazing! Loreal HIP also has good mascaras....ugghhh, and that pink and green Maybelline Great Lash is awful. It used to be my staple before I "upgraded".

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I love how DiorShow makes my lashes look, but does anyone else think it has an odd scent? And my tube is BN, so I know it's not old/spoiled!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I actually haven't found a 'favorite mascara yet. I've tried so many, and none of them really do what I want it to do!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I am currently trying Lancome Courbe Virtuose and it is wonderful! I get long, curled lashes. It does not give a ton of volume and I wear it to work.
I am also trying the DiorShow Blackout and LOVE it! Its super black and very thickening.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I love Diorshow. I must buy another one. Thought I'd save some money on Mascara & have so far spent double what It would cost to replace my Diorshow
Have been using Covergirl Lash Exact & Loreal Telescopic & Bourjous Yes to Volume No to Clumps & Rimmel Magnifeye (sp???).
Of these I prefer Covergirl!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Lancome L'Extreme is my favourite. It makes my lashes really long without looking clumpy.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Maybelline Full 'n Soft is my HG. I've tried so many types of mascaras over the years but this never fails me. It never ever ever ever clumps, and makes my lashes look so pretty.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Well, I have only used one. Maybelline's Great Lash. I hope to try DiorShow soon, everyone seems to love it.
I really need to get a new one, that just defines my lashes, not builds them up.

Yes it does have a very odd scent!
Diorshow has always been my favorite mascara, but recently while buying products from Clinique I received mini gifts and one of them was Clinique high impact mascara. I was amazed by how it made my lashes look long and thick! I'm still using it, and would definitely buy one once I run out from the mini sample.
I also like Benefit's bad gal mascara.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I find that a combination of mascaras works best. Normally in the daytime I use a "lighter" mascara as not to weigh my lashes down immediately after curling, such a Maybelline Sky High Curves or Great Lash. After that, I usually use MAC Loud Lash, which works amazingly. If I'm going out or want them to look extra dramatic I use Benefit Badgal.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I like MAC mascara because of their price... really affordable. But I find the quality of them isn't as great as I hoped, as a lot of people here have said... it's a love hate relationship. I am a huge fan of all estee lauder mascara... more expensive, but definitely worth it!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I have and always will love my MAC Zoomlash! Whenever I wear it I get the "wow...look at those lashes" comments!
For every day, crispy clean lashes I love MF 2000 calorie. And when I have the cash, Chanel Inimitable is really great.
Now, I have to admit, I am a mascara ho. I just can't help myself. So here are my thoughts on some of the mascaras mentioned on this thread and others I've tried:
- L'oreal Lash Architect - dramatic, huge lashes but weighs them down cuz it's so thick!
-Bourjois Maxi Frange - almost HG status and will be trying the w/p version
-Diorshow - this did nothing for my lashes and what's with the huge brush? My eyes aint that big, ya know?
-Maybelline Great Lash - the formula is really great but it's the brush that makes your lashes clump
-L'oreal Voluminous - I like it but I dont love it. Clumps.
-L'oreal Telescopic - nice thick lashes but the brush is a PITA to work with. Makes my lashes clump
-L'oreal Panoramic - I like to think of this one as my inexpensive alternative to Chanel's Inimitable BUT the darn thing made my eyes itch like crazy...and even made them twitch. Yikes!
-Px Beyond Long - had this in the GWP size, got crazy compliments on my lashes, then bought the full size and the brush was a huge disappointment. NOT the same effect at all.
Dying to try:
Lancome Hypnose - I keep hearing so much about this.
Tarte Lash Camera Lashes - looks promising
I would love to hear which mascaras I should add to my list!
