Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I must say... I really like Avon's mascara. Every one I've bought from Avon has been great. I've blown a lot of money on high end mascara and nothing has ever WOW'd me but Avon.  Bonus for me... it's cheaper

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I've been reading tons of reviews on makeupalley but have found no good reviews. What do you guys think is the best waterproof mascara? Like to wear while swimming?

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
benefit's badgal lash is by far the best mascara i've ever used, the only other that is comparable imo is diorshow.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I've had really good results with Fresh's Mascara in Supernova. A woman who worked at Sephora recommended it to me, and I've loved it. I'm fairly certian I wont use another kind.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I go for length more than volume (since I have short, dead straight lashes, but a lot of it) and these are what I liked best:
drugstore - maybelline xxl (it would be define-a-lash but it takes the curl out D: )
dept store/import - Estee Lauder Double Wear; Kanebo Tiffa Mascara base (similar to Imju); Shiseido Extra Length
I'll see if I like Blinc; I'm out to buy one today

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Maybelline Full N Soft. I have naturally long lashes, and just need a little volume, not length.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I was using Diorshow and loved it - best ever! That was until I found out of the uncertainty of whether they test on animals or not  So now I don't use it and am still on the quest to find the perfect mascara that does not test on animals

You know, I've found mascara to be one of those things I never have to spend a lot of money on. I bought The Cover Girl waterproof mascara in the orange tube with the funky wand and it works like a charm for me.
Unless you have shorter lashes or really curly ones that need extra attention, I don't think there's a problem using drug store mascara. Considering you really need to buy new mascara fairly often (every month or so), why spend the unnecessary money? I'm a huge fan of Rimmel mascaras. Definitely a diamond in the drug store rough.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I like Lash Blast from Covergirl. I haven't tried a lot of different ones. Before this, I used Voluminous.

Absolutely. And because I have fairly lengthy lashes to begin with, I find I don't need to curl with the Fresh Supernova, and it lasts all day, no flaking or crumbling... definate <33

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I have long lashes, so usually I try and find a mascara that helps build volume, I don't pay much attention to my lashes, so I just grab whatever mascara and go.
