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:
-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!

Next time you have some money to spend, try Estee Lauders mascaras... the quality is really good, but they aren't cheap.  If you do try them, let me know what you think.

Yep I do.
If you want really clean and lengthened lashes, use "More Than Mascara"
And if you want fuller more "WOW" lashes, use "MagnaScopic" (Maximum Volume Mascara)

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I dont know if I have posted in this thread but I will update.
I used to love Zoomlash with the Max Factor 2000 Calorie brush but that was before I discovered Diorshow. Now I use Bourjois Yes To Volume No To Clumps as a kind of base for my lashes, makes them long, brushes them out then I use Diorshow over the top of that to darken them and add volume and general drama. I love my lashes <3

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Diorshow & Dior Blackout are fantastic but nothing tops Max Factor Masterpiece. This is my HG mascara.
