The Mascara Thread

[SweetFantasy]

I haven't really found any mascara that holds curl like it's supposed to except for MaxFactor False Lash Effect and Maybelline Turbo Boost Volume. Only the MF one is really hard to wash off and makes my lashes brittle. So any reccomendations?

castor oil works like a charm for brittle and lack of lashes.. trust me!

I still love Maybelline Full N' Soft the most. I haven't come across anything else that compares although that may be my bias talking because it was the first I ever bought (even before Great Lash!). I just apply Shiseido's makeup mascara base for more dramatic volume.
I am thinking of committing permanently to wearing false lashes instead though.

^ my mates started doing that too!
if u do, do let me know if its worth it?! i may switch then

Okay, yesterday I just bought Colossal Volume Express Waterproof in black;
and I must say it's one of the best I've ever used, easily the best.

-long long long, thick thick thick. like natural false eyelashes,
-glides on smoothly with NO clumps
-I did four layers with NO clumps
-holds a reasonable curl all day
-no smudging
-withstands a cry
-remains supple!! (love this)
-melts off oh-so-smoothly with the rest of my makeup using OCM
-At least 1.5 times longer and thicker for sure, may have doubled
-feels really light and natural


I still love the glossy film-like finish of Fiberwig, which used to be my staple, but this definitely makes the bigger impact.

I didn't used to be a mascara person. But now that I see the difference mascara can make in the end result, my eyes have been opened...literally

After careful inspection, I realize that I had exaggerated, but the impact is definitely doubled.

Do you know why lancome stopped lancome fatale mascara production ?

 

[SweetFantasy]

The Dior Extase is getting alot of talk. Anyone tried it? If so, what do you think?

Love it for length & volume - it's dramatic but not too much for daytime

that good?

maybe i should switch.. even though ive been using YSL's mascara for a longggg time now

 

[SweetFantasy]

Yeah, I'm gonna try the Colossal WP based on Melisande's review.

 

[Jennyfer]

What is the best Maybelline mascara for curling, guys?

 

[The_Ida]

^I think all their waterproof mascaras are brilliant. Esp Define A Lash! Of course it won't curl your lashes, you have to do that yourself with an eyelash curler, but it holds the curl so well.

 

[Jennyfer]

Thank you, I have heard good things about that one alright.

 

[Jennyfer]

I decided to stick with BareMinerals Flawless Definition mascara. It really is amazing.

 

[SweetFantasy]

Any one tried YSL Everlong?

If so, what's your verdict?
