Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Covergirl Lash Blast Waterproof...makes me look like I have falsies on. Bad thing is that it's a pain to take off. Worth it though.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Right now it's between YSL Faux Cils and Diorshow Iconic. I've been trying to get back into drugstore mascara's lately, so I've been using l'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black and while it is good.. it's just not the same as the YSL or the Diorshow.
Urgh, I've become a high end mascara snob huh?

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Hi
My current favourite is Maybelline's the Colossal, I never used to get on with Maybelline mascaras in the past but I think that had a lot to do with my makeup technique..I have a friend who applies three mascaras to get really long lashes and mine still look bigger and better with the Colossal but she won't switch!
Once I was already wearing Bourjois Coup de Theatre and it was going a bit limp so I borrowed my cousin's L'oreal one (the one which is double ended and fits together and has a sloping cap) and those two tag teamed together have given me the best lashes ever, they looked long and lovely but not at all drag queenish

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I have some pretty thick lashes so most mascaras give me dramatic results but my current favorite combo is l'oreal telescopic paired with a quick coat of benefit bad gal lashes on the bottom and top of my lashes (I scrape some of the excess product in to the tube before applying or it clumps). I then use a spoolie and my lashes look like falsies! Seriously, people who don't know me are constantly asking if I'm wearing fake lashes.
I've been dying to try that givenchy mascara but I'm spending waaay too much on mascara lately. XD I've bought 9 in the last 2 months. :O

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I adore Max Factor,Masterpiece Max! It really gives me nice volume without clumps and is easy to remove.I must add... since i share this Spectra account, with my daughter,that she swears by Mac Zoom Lash ...

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Ok, I've posted in this thread before, but since I am always looking for that lovely gem of a mascara and try new ones all the time, I'm taking this thread to mean "your favorite mascara [at the moment]"
I just pitched my old Lash Stiletto because it's been a couple months and it's starting to flake on me. I did like it, but I don't think i'd buy it again because, well.. there are much better ones out there. I wasn't blown away. Oh, and it smelled kinda funky too.
But, I happened to go into Publix tonight (grocery store) and all their Maybelline mascaras were like 40% off! I got 'The Colossal' because I've heard decent things about it and ended up paying around $3.25.... not bad! I actually really like this one. It gives me volume, separation and length without clumping!
I put on 2 coats tonight just to test it out, but I really can't wait to try it with Prep + Prime Lash tomorrow.
I'll let you guys know how it works out  but i'm definitely loving it so far.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
I don't have to curl my lashes and they're fairly thick and long. . . so my search hasn't been as difficult as some peoples.
With that said, it's Smashbox Bionic. Its leaves my lashes super full and long--but also supple feeling. They never get all hard and crusty. Its so light and stays on all day. Perfect for every day use.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My lashes are pretty long, but poker straight and kinda light (same as my hair)! My HG mascara is definitely YSL Faux Cils, I can't even think about using another mascara. I'm also a glasses wearer and have really sensitive eyes and this is perfect. It smells bloody lovely too!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Well, the Balms Two Timer mascara has been a huge favourite for a long time.
Today I tried the Blueberry Curl mascara from Lumene and whoa... It looks like I have fake lashes on! Increible. This is definitely my new HG for sure!

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
My eyelashes are sparse, so I love MUFE smokey lash in extra black.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
Usually Fasio mascaras from Kose. They are cry-proof!
These days I've been wearing L'oreal Voluminous layered with Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing - not as lasting/dramatic as the Fasio but much easier to remove.

Re: Your Favorite Mascara?
cargo texas lash!! nobody believes me when i tell them that this is better than diorshow. it doesn't clump so you can build it up until you have the biggest lashes ever. multiple times now i've had clients ask which brand of lashes i'm wearing while i have this mascara on. they can't believe it when i tell them i'm not wearing falsies.
