snatch up some maybelline sky high curves while you can. they discontinued it so you need to go to the store and get it while you can

Oh, I see! I thought that you found your "perfect" mascara and I just wanted to get the inside scoop! I want to buy another mascara soon to hold a curl and volume (I also have quite a collection now). Any advice between Chanel's Imitable, Diorshow, Anna Sui, or Lancome's L'extreme?

Stine: You should try Lancome's Hypnose for the volume. It's pretty good at holding the curl, too. I wasn't that impressed with Definicils unless I combined it with another mascara.

Erin: For a good curling mascara at the drugstore, lots of people like to use Maybelline Great Lash. I've also heard good reviews on Loreal's Telescopic mascara.

^I hear diorshow is good.

Here is another mascara tip: use a different mascara on your lower lashes than on your top ones. For example, no matter what mascara I use, I always use either great lash or lash discovery in the same color as my upper mascara on my lower lashes because they are basic, no frill mascaras. I mean, using a volumizing or curiling mascara is just a waste on your bottom lashes. I have on maybelline full n soft in black on my uppers today and great lash on my lowers. Make sense?

I heard that Diorshow is a waste of money ^^

Does anyone know of a good mascara that really won't clump up and make your eyelashes look really full? Thanks.

Thanks! I will try it out. It's funny cause for years I used a really cheap mascara (From Nivea) and it didn't do a whole lot to my lashes, but it gave them that mascara look and it held the curl like crazy - I would wake up the next morning and my lashes would still look like WOW! But unfortunately they stopped making it, and for years now I've been seaching for a mascara as good as that one.

i just got stila's major lash and wow .. i havent used a mascara in forever but this is my new fave.

I was shopping the other day and I found this really nice shop, it had make up called Space.nk it was really good. The mascara is dry and comes out wet on your lashes and it seperates them and lengthens them!

YSL is great aswell!

 

[poptheglock]

lancôme hypnôse is the best sh*t ever!

 

[legaldiva]

I disagree ... BeneFit's Bad Gal Lash. Try it and you'll know why randomly when I'm wearing it my bf (I live with him) will ask me if I have fake eyelashes on.

Beautysnob.com just reviewed Fiberwig mascara and said that it's the BOMB. it is sold in japan but is now sold in Sephora. Has anyone tried it?

I've used only YSL and diorshow, tried chanel and lancome. they're nice, but nothing spectacular. My lashes are thin but long, so they tend to get weighty with mascara(curling only lasts for a bit, then they straighten). I am yet to be blown away by a mascara.

 

[iChelle]

^ very interesting about fiberwig. i'll have to check that out.

 

[modelbehavior228]

so, am I the only one that is actually satisified with maybelline mascara? I like full n soft and it has never clumped on me once.

 

[DandyWarhol]

^^^ i hate that mascara with a passion

 

[The_Ida]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! In Europe too?! I cannot live without that mascara. It's the only mascara that can hold a curl

 

[modelbehavior228]

^I'm sorry dear

 

[modelbehavior228]

Oh! And if you get a smear or smudge of mascara on your face whilst applying (like me *ahem* every morning) wait until it dries COMPLETELY and then chip it off. It won't give you a big black smear on your face that way

 

[iChelle]

^ very interesting about fiberwig. i'll have to check that out.

i used fiberwig over the Shiseido mascara base and lord it took me FOREVER to get it all off. do you gals use it by itself or with a base underneath? let me know, i really want to like this due to all the great reviews on it!
thanks!

Never EVER use Great Lash if you want a mascara that holds a curl. Never. The worst mascara I've ever tried.
