Just wanted to suggest a cheaper, drugstore colored mascara for you ladies to try. As much as I wanted to try a colored mascara, I didn't want to pay big money for a mascara I won't reach for as often as a black or brown everyday color. Now I also have a Benefit lipgloss/mascara combo called Prrrowl. It has the coolest iridescent pink lipgloss that is gorgeous as a layering gloss for a fabulous night-out lip. And on the other end an AH-Mazing blue topcoat mascara! Very nice combo!! Just a little pricey for me to repurchase often as it runs $28 (if I remember correctly).

 

I actually bought that last week in the blue color! It's not very bright but I like it a lot because in the sunlight/bright light my eyelashes are noticeably blue tinted and for five bucks that's enough for me! If you want the runway look you probably won't like it but for a toned down version it is actually pretty good. The formula is a little finicky, I had to brush it through with a clean spoolie to get it to look good but in the end I was quite satisfied.

Pixie you always have a good eye out for those DS products and I listen up when you praise them.  I am still loving my L'Oreal cream eyeshadows and the Maybelline color tattoo ones too.  Maybelline has some hella good mascara anyway so I am stoked to get some with wild colors.  I love green mascara, maybe I am weird?

I like Blue mascara when you don't want that heavy dark black made up eye look.  Did you find they did more volume or definition???  Whenever I get a fresh tube, I have to let it dry up a bit or it goes all over the place for almost all brands of mascara.  For me, the aging is a must...

i bought the teal one like last year... not for under 5 bucks tho! lucky.  i would have gotten the blue one but i already had the blue zoom lash mascara from the first time they released it.

The formula was kind of blah. It added length but it was kind of runny? (not sure exactly how to describe it but it made the lashes stick together even though there wasn't much product on the brush) I think Great Lash is a pretty bad formula at all and it doesn't deserve all the awards. It's all about the color with this one! Once I brushed it out it was looking good  heart2.gif

 

I just realized that this sounds really contradictory but I do honestly like it. lol

I like how Maybelline sometimes has BOGO too.  I can work with a mascara and don't mind a comb thru if the final product is worth my time.  Dior makes the best colored mascara I have to say though, although they are not cheap.

 

I think this Archie collection will be very appealing with all the pink and purple stuff.  I am so stoked for new pigments!  (At least I hope they will be new, we need that color story ASAFP)

I like the colored ones from them. I do brush through when I am done, but I always do that anyway. I like them for "tipping" lashes a different color only on the ends.

post #308 of 12008

I'm going to have to check out some colored mascarras.

Yep considering the current book goes up to mid-Jan., I think it's a good bet either the first week or so in Feb. That sounds about right?

I agree! I´ve got Shop & Drop, but I think I will buy this quad anyway.

I look forward to this collection as I liked Betty and Veronica as a kid and that pink lipstick was really pretty.

 

Welcome, sweetie! ^^

I´m pretty sure IsaDora got a waterproof vivid blue mascara. And Make Up Store got a waterproof, clear mascara. It´s a sealer, you can wear it over another coloured mascara. Make Up Store got some interesting colours on their mascaras; light blue, hot pink, turquoise...

Looking at the packaging just made me devastaded. Its so pretty it just makes me feel that i will go thru the marilyn monroe ordeal all over again.
post #330 of 12008

I see there will be new pigments available Spring/Summer 2013 called Cheers My Dear and Lucky In Love. I wonder if those are the names of the new Archie's Girls pigments. And a Lipglass named Summer Sweetheart.
