Dear Ladies,

I have an admission to make, I have still yet to find the perfect mascara to make long thick eyelashes that doesn't go lumpy or leave black marks below the eye by the end of a long night (ahem - this bit could be mown fault however Embarassed

).

I would love to hear about everyones favourites.

I personally love pretty much any mascara by Bourjois, but my friend recently bought me L'Oreal - Volume Shocking, which is fantastic on.

Now this happens to be a topic close to my heart! I actually have long thick lashes, and whilst people would think this is a blessing it does mean that with the wrong mascara i look like i have big black spiders crawling over my eyelids!! My definite favourite has to L'oreal Telescopic. The best things about it is when it dries, it leaves an almost plastic-y coating so none of that flaking or smearing! Very Happy

Lacey - that sounds lovely!

I like No7 Lash Extensions from Boots. It makes my eyelashes look fantastic.

My cheap supermarket fav that gives long, think fabulous lashes that last and last with no black smudges are the new mascaras with the vinyl or plastic wand applicators. You need a couple coats but the new applicators let you do that without clumping. I can sleep in these and not smudge! My fav is Max Factor's Waterproof Lash Perfection. Just replace and start over if they start to clump. Hope they work for you!

It's expensive but worth it: Lancome Hypnose.

Just for the record girls, the L'oreal mascara I recommended earlier in the thread isn't cry proof.

I know what you mean Kitty... I use L'Oreal Volume X4 and it's fab... but, even if I get a fit of the giggles and cry a bit, I get a drizzle down one side of my eye. Which is never particularly fetching - however you look at it!!!! Embarassed

I found the best macara... Volume Glamour by Bourjous... it's incredible, it makes my eyelashes look thicker, longer, and suprisingly more curly... and it's under a tenner!! It's wonderful, definitely recommended...

I only picked it up because I loved the look of the mascara bottle, thankfully it was great!!

I had my eyelashes permed not too long back and other mascara's made them clump together afterwards, this one did me absolute WONDERS!! Smile

I find Maybelline Define-a-lash works for me.
I got it a it was on offer in Superdrug - two for £10, but had also seen the adverts. It has a curved brush and a couple of nobbly things at the top of the tube so it pulls off any excess as it comes out of the tube!

I bought the Maybelline Define-a-lash when I decided my funds were too low for the Masterpiece Max (which was my usual choice) - but I have to say both worked equally well.

I had the Max Factor one previously - and although they are both good I prefere to use the Maybelline
