The Mascara Thread #1

[AndiMAC]

Many MUA's actually I have seen them highly reccommend Maybelline's Volum Express.
I like it as well but I live on MAC Pro Lash. I will be interested to try their new thickening one even tho the ad does not make it look like a flattering product. I also love the Bourjois Coup de Theatre. Makes my lashes look so long they look like falsies but I get that even when Im wearing the Pro Lash.

I took advice from someone on this board, and I purchased L'Oreal Double Extend, at Ulta for $8.99.
It isn't the most amazing mascara, but it does do what it claims. The first coat of the nourishing creme makes my lashes soft and pliable. The second coat of actual mascara creates long lashes, and holds the curl well. My only complaint is that it sticks my lashes together, and creates a goopy/clumpy look, until I run my eyelash comb through them about 5 times.

All in all, for the price, it works well.

I tried Pro Lash because of this forum and it's been working great for me so far! A bit similar to Voluminous but less clumpy.

I'm addicted to that stuff!

No its not a lnacome product it's from a Parisian company 'Longcils' - apparently an old make-up company. Anyone in Europe know about them?

Is that the white mascara from Dior......

If that's what your talking about.... then just last year, I was about to buy one. It looks nice, but since I have black brows and black hair, it would look really contrasting. It's really cool, but I don't have the guts to wear that !

Kimkhu, Diorshow comes in several shades, including white, which is super gorgeous...

dior maximeyes

 

[LadyIllusion]

Dior Maximeyes is good but is oil based, doesnt wash of so easily.

Loreal Double extend is OK but i couldn't tell as i have very long lashes anyway.

My favourite has to be Boujour Theate d'Coupe = does what it says and washes off easily with water. fantastic

I do use a face cleanser when i wash my face both morning/night. Just tend to use water a few times to wash off the base, B4 using cleansing wash.

 

[Plumour]

Lancome Definicils!

 

[brian]

Dior Maximeyes, definitely. It actually holds a curl, and makes the lashes so long and thick that they could be mistaken for false lashes!

I also like Chanel's Instant Lash. That gets my second vote.

I used to like Chanel's Extracils, but it's supposed to be a curling and lengthening mascara and it actually can NOT hold a curl. It makes lashes droop! However, it does lengthen and darken the lashes a *lot*

 

[oceanharlot]

Shu Eumura is good for everyday... curls and darkens well, looks natural

Benefit Bad Girl Lash is... AMAZING. best mascara for nighttime ever. Thick, without being clumpy, lengthening and a great dark color. (get the She Lac to make it waterproof SO COOL!)

Clinique natural lash (?) is really good except it isn't waterproof, which is a factor I must have.

I'm not sure if I'm weird or not, but I'm so picky about my mascara. if it makes my lashes stiff I get annoyed and tend to pick off the mascara (and my eyelashes too), if it is at all flaky it annoys my contacts, when the mascara dries in a matte finish it makes me feel like my eyes are dull... lol damn I'm picky

I love Maybelline Full & Soft..

Me too! It's a great inexpensive mascara!

 

[tortoisie]

did anyone try "extreme definition" from rimmel?
u know that one rimmel claims kate moss loves
haahha... is it *really* that good?

 

[Lylac]

I have the extreme definiton one-got it for christmas and i really do like it-my last mascara was rimmel's curly mascara and that used to clump all my lashes together, wheras this one keeps my lashes seperate and i just find the comb easier to use. Used with eyelash curlers i find that they soften the look of my eyes and make me look more awake. Then again, i've never used any other mascaras to compare it to.

 

[kymberlily]

Kevin Aucoin The Mascara. Period.

It's amazing.

 

[ribes]

Kimberlily... You have to say if you like the volume or the curling from kevyn... Some people dislike the volume version.

I triedthe curling one and it was OK, but not
