Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I like lancome's defencils with cil's booster. i did one of my eyes with mac's zoom lash, and the other with defencils, and the one with defencils definitely stood out more, my lashes lengthened drastically. i love it!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Dior Show is the most AMAZING mascara ever!! My only complaint is that it can dry out quickly. If I had to choose a drugstore brand I would say L'Oreal Voluminous.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
At the moment im using Rimmel London Volume flash and it is sooo good. I've tried some L'oreal ones and I will be using my new Bourjois one next week as my 3 months are up! They've all been really great, I am yet to try a high-brand one, but if the cheaper ones work Im not that bothered to try the more expensive ones

I tried XXXL too b/c my lashes are really short and hide under my asian monolid but even though it did extend...did you ever have a problem of your lashes coming out grey because of the white primer?

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
When it comes to waterproof mascara, I love Clinique's or Shu Uemura's. Regular mascara, Max Factor Masterpiece is great and affordable, Anna Sui's LONG combined with VOLUME does it for me! Diorshow does not do it for me, but it's because I have short, asian lashes

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
urgh... I have tried diorshow blackout and it was the worst mascara I have ever tried... it flakes off my lashes and doesn't stay on for more than an hour... my ultimate favorite is lancome's l'extreme... Soooo perfect in so many ways!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Oh I have used soooo many different mascaras. I'm always trying to see which one will make my lashes extend oh about 500% longer haha.. well I am really loving VS Very Sexy mascara right now, but I will always always love Maybelline Great Lash. This has never let me down!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I used to use Mabelline Full 'n' Soft. Which I loved.
But now I use Me Me ME Drama Queen and it's very good! Stays on for ages and it makes my lashes look lovely and and long and separated. My next venture is going to be a Smashbox one I think as I've always wanted to try their mascaras.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My favorite mascara would have to be maybelline Full N' Soft waterproof. Of course, I still have to go through a lot of trial and error before I find my HG. The thing is, I have short, straight, down-ward pointing eyelashes (I'm Asian) So finding a great mascara is really hard. Full N' Soft is a pretty good natural looking mascara and it's not too expensive.
If you get a mascara, I recommend getting a primer too. It really plumps up the lashes and helps them stay curled. I have yet to try it, but I've heard wonderful things about Shiseido's mascara primer. So I have yet to try that. For now, I'm just using a combo of full n' soft WP and max factor's volume couture and it's giving me pretty good results.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My favorite is Almay's lengthening mascara. They usually sell it in the sets based on the color of your eyes. I own it in blue and black. It doesn't clump or flake at all and makes my lashes look feathery. Even though it isn't waterproof, I haven't yet had a problem with it running and I live in the desert where everything melts!
I also really like Telescopic in black.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Gotta say Plushlash died on me. It became hard after a month and started to itch.
My new favorite mascara is New York Color Lengthening Mascara is great!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Lancome ones are good, Covergirl lash exact, diorshow, benefit badgal, plushlash on natural days, l'oreal's double extend is good for a really thick fake looking lashes.
