Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
For me it's Max Factor Lash Perfection and Volume Couture Mascaras.

Ok, I'm reporting back on the Magnascopic and WOW! You were NOT lying. This stuff made my lashes huge, thick and real real dark. They really do stand out!
Only problem is...just like MACs, it weighs down my eyes sooo much and it kind of bothers me a bit....but nothing too crazy.
Ahh, the price of beauty, ya know?!

Yayy!! I'm glad you enjoy it as much as I do! I find Estee Lauder is my fav mascara right now. But MAC is coming out with a new Mascara  so, maybe that will be good? I hope so! Yeah I notice the weight of it too, but you're exacty right, the price of beauty

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Maybelline's Full N' Soft is the only mascara that I have consistanly bought over the years. Actually, its the only one I have bought more than one tube of. Still, I am always up for a new mascara--there's just so many!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
HE wise I love Chanel Inimitable (got a GWP with Glamour magazine), EL More Than Mascara and Lancome Definicils. The last two were HG for me for years, but €24,- euros ($33,-) for a mascara is a little too much for me these days. I really liked L'Oreal Voluminous and Maybelline Full 'n Soft as an alternative, but both mascara's are sadly discontinued in Europe.
Right now I use Maybelline Lash Stylist or Bourjois Easy Waterproof, which I both like a lot. I also like Rimmel Volume Flash and L'Oreal Telescopic is okay as well. After I finish these up I really want to try the new Bourjois Volume Clubbing mascara, which suppose to give a dramatic look with a metallic finish.
I also used the much hyped DiorShow last year as well, but I found the mascara itself very dry (flake city) and the wand too big for my taste, so DiorShow is a DiorNo for me.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My favourite mascara is absolutely YSL Volume effect. Amazing, I just love this. The bad side is that it is expensive and it dries quite quickly, but it is still THE best.
Other good ones are L'oreal Volumious and Telescopic. Unfortunately my other favourite mascara, Full'n soft was discontinued here in Finland and Volumious is not available anymore. But luckily Telescopic is here still!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Hi all,
I just tried (and purchased) MAC's new plushglass (I got the brown one). The brush is realy different, it has a separating side and an application side. It really does lengthen and SEPARATE well! I couldn't believe the separation. Good stuff

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I love mascara it's my must have item. I have tried tons of brands and surprisingly Loreal telescopic works best for me. It's cheap so you can try it without wasting a lot of money.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I think I already posted here, but I'm going to do it again, because I can't get enough of my mascara.
Estee Lauders "More Then Mascara" or "Magnascopic" Mascaras are AMAZING.
More Then Mascara is really great for clean, crisp, long everyday lashes. Magnascropic is great for high volume really intense long and beautiful lashes.
I use MTM in the day and Magnascopic at night if Im going out.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara - I have fairly long eyelashes already, and this mascara makes my eyes look even more amazing. The oversized brush is easy to control (suprisingly) and it managed to lift my lashes, which naturally point down, nicely. The texture is thick and the color rich; it has not flaked or smudged yet and doesn't get clumpy or sticky either. In the end, I had longer and thicker lashes; I love it!
