Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I used to really love DiorShow, but it seems the last couple of times I have bought it, it has been really flaky and clumpy! The first time I thought maybe I got a bad batch...but the second time...I'm so over it.
I recently bought MAC PlushLash, and it's great for a MAC mascara! I think I'm going to go pick up Benefit Bad Gal Lash tonight.

telescopic is okay... it clumps a fair bit though. i don't think i'd repurchase. max factor masterpiece max is better.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I have fairly long lashes, here are my reviews
BADGAL - Smudges very easily, and didn't seem to thicken much
DIORSHOW - Tried twice, but clumpy and flaky both times
CLINIQUE - Love almost all of them, I use them when I want drama on top as they smudge on the bottom
KISSME - The only mascara I will EVER use of my bottom, SMUDGEPROOF and I am the queen of smudges! Not quite enough drama on top but the best daily wear mascara I have ever tried!
Oh, and  Hello all!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I don't think I'm meant for mascara. I've bought DiorShow(x2), Biotherm, Clinique, Lashblasts, Mac, and other mascaras and none of them seem to work for my lashes. Diorshow has made my lashes longer but it smudges and it doesn't hold the curl for me so at the end of the day it makes shadows on my eyes. For the past week, I curl my lashes and the curl lasts all day. If I put on mascara it'll uncurl and I only put 1 coat. Sigh.....is there any other solutions? I have short eyelashes but I'd love to finally have looooong eyelashes with a curl.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Dior show or Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara. I hate all the MAC mascaras with a passion, Plush Lash is the only decent one but I hardly use it.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
somewhere in this thread i posted mascara x, but i'm changing mine to Plushlash, it is excellent.
My least favorite mascara ever is loreal telescopic. Ugh, everything is wrong with that one.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I never realized this but I'm a mascara whore haha, I don't even wear it everyday but I'm always in search of the perfect mascara. For reference, I'm asian so I have the flimsy stick short lashes haha. The one mascara that I was really amazed with was Lancome's Flex WP but I don't think they sell that anymore  That was really good for lengthening, I usually use the Loreal Double Extend [the white half for length] but with Flex Wp I didn't even use it. I've also used Diorshow, my girlfriends love this one but they have extremely long lashes. I thought it was good, it didn't clump my lashes too much but it didn't really do anything dramatic for my lashes. I'm currently using Lancome's Hypnose with the Shiseido base and the base really holds the curl, at first I didn't like the Hypnose too much but as I got used to it I noticed that it really does do a good job of plumping my lashes but it got a little clumpy for me. I also recently got the Covergirl Lashblast? I've only used it 2 times but so far I'm not quite impressed I think the formula is a little too wet for me and I'm not too fond of the brush which is weird because I love the brush for the Lash Exact mascara. I'm going to try another lengthening mascara from Lancome and hope that it was just as good as Flex WP
Well there's my essay about my experience with mascara  Hope it was a little helpful for some

you should use a primer under the mascara - it holds the curl and intensifies the effect of every mascara (for example: "lash building primer" by clinique or "mascara base" by shiseido the makeup). then you could try lancome's "hypnose" - the best mascara IMO. it thickens, lengthens and curls!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I went to Sephora for Bad Gal Lash, but I ended up buying Fresh Supernova. OMG, I love this mascara, it's awesome, it lengthens curls and thickens. It also already has conditioners built in, but it doesn't smudge once it's dry and my lashes are so soft and flexible with it on! I also tried Fiberwig, and it didn't thicken, but it lengthened like crazy, and left my lashes flexible, so maybe I'll get that to try and layer over my Supernova. I think the combo could be dynamite!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I posted Lancome L'Extreme earlier, but after trying LashBlast for a month, I love it. And it's cheaper.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I recently bought DiorShow Ultimate. The color is amazing, but it clumped my lashes when I tried to use it with the amazing Shiseido Mascara Base. On its own though it did a pretty good job.

I think, what I can recommend, or at least what works for me *since everyone is different, obviously* I use Plushlash from MAC and V2 Mascara from Red Earth. Putting those together is really awesome. My lashes look really awesome after that. I don't curl my lashes though *I guess that is bad?* Either way, this combo is my favorite for my lashes at least and it makes them dramatic without the use of false lashes.
