Re: Mascara
I've been on a search for a great mascara for at least two years now. I've tried LOTS of mascaras, high- & low-end, that are either not very good or just average, & the best I've found so far are:
>> Cover Girl LASH BLAST Waterproof (thickens, separates, doesn't
clump, curls a bit - & WILL NOT WEAR OFF!);
>> L'Oreal HIP Volumizing in Blue-Black (Don't know why exactly but
that color really makes my lashes *pop* Plus it goes on, thickens & wears
well);
>> Blinc KISS ME (NO thickness, but really separates. You get a kind
of mid-70s 'glam' look, and it's 100% waterproof. And no remover needed!)
I've heard a lot about (not sure of the name) Imuju Fiberwig (?) but haven't tried it yet... has anyone? Does it really thicken like I've heard?

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I got a sample of Too Faced Lash Injection and hated it over my Shiseido Lash Prep base, but by itself it does wonders. Weird. I've never seen a mascara so useless over base but so amazing by itself.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I'm loving Dior Show, I had the waterproof one which was great but did clump a little if I went over the top but I just replaced it and decided to go with the regular non waterproof one and it's been great without any clumps! Go figure?

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My HG mascara is Chanel Inimitable in Noir Brun n°30, my lashes are naturally long and curled so this mascara is great for a natural daily look. Actually i have also DiorShow Black out mascara, but i'm not totally satified by.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Diorshow over MAC prep 'n' prime lash. I also like MAC's plushlash, it always makes your eyelashes feel soft, like you're not even wearing any mascara.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I recently bought YSL Faux Cils Mascara and I must say its the best I've ever tried. Really makes my lashes look thick and volumised. I would highly recommend it

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Cover Girl Lash Blast (thank you Spectra lovelies!)
MAC Plushlash (ditto!)
Those 2 are what I mainly wear now. I also really like Max Factor Lash Perfection.

The normal non-bent wand one is also my fav...makes my lashes look so much better than all the other mascaras I've tried.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I was using Diorshow Blackout for months... I didn't like the way it made my eyelashes feel crunchy (lol) and it flaked. Ugh. Thennn I discovered MAC's Plushlash. It makes my eyelashes so soft and they look really full, too...
I've heard good things about Chanel's Inimitable, too. I might try that if I can get over this Plushlash obsession. :]

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
MAC Mascara X (in Brown for the most part)! It curls beautifully and spaces them out. I think it's love.  Perfection if you're doing a natural look!
For lengthening I rely on the fabulous ModelCo Lash X-Tend. It's simply wonderful!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I'm still looking for the perfect one. I loved Lancome's L'extreme but I stopped using it when I found out that Lancome is one of Loreal's brands and they conduct animal testing. I'm using EL Lash XL right now and I think that it's great but it dries up really fast. I wanna try out Clarins Wonder Longeur soon or maybe a Clinique mascara. I'm not sure yet.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
i've usedd sooo many mascaras lately. usually i use DiorShow with MaxFactor's Volume Couture over it..right now i'm a little strapped for cash so instead of the DiorShow i bought MaxFactor LashLift. The MaxFactor mascaras are pretty good. I like them a lot. I'm usually Maybelline's new colossal mascara...ehhhh its okayy.
I bought M.A.C. zoomlash but it makes my lashes stick together too much. I like the plush last though and I did like the mascara X too.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I have about twenty mascaras because I have really strange lashes (all different lengths, grow in weird directions, etc.) but I have finally found a HG in the new Chanel Exceptionnel de Chanel mascara. It is quick, volumizes and lengthens for me and holds my weird lashes in a uniform direction. I really like it!
Other faves are LashBlast, the new Lancome Oscillation (the vibrating one ... weird, but effective) and the Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes (the one that looks like a medieval torture device.)
I like the Chanel the best because it achieves everything the others do but only takes one coat and is way quicker than using the others.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My fave is Maybelline's Lash Expansion. Took me forever to find the current bottle I bought since it wasn't sold where I normally buy it anymore! I'm just glad I found it again since it helps keep my lashes curled all day and adds that volume I need.
Although, I've heard reviews on a couple different brands that I would love to try out. Waiting to begin those trial runs. :P
