Poll: Best inexpensive everyday mascara?

KAandJJ

I am looking for a new inexpensive full-body everyday mascara. I figured why not find out what everyone is currently loving and using?

I am currently using a mascara that I got for free from Origins--it's ok, but I'm not sure if I would spend money on it. I've used MAC in the past and loved it, but it can be on the pricier side. I own the Bobbi Brown waterproof mascara (thanks to my wedding last year), and love it because you could cry your eyes out and/or swim all day long and your mascara will never once run, but it doesn't come off for days (even with using there fancy cleanser) and your eyelashes start to fall out! eek!  

All opinions/suggestions are welcomed!

I like Almay because my eyes are kind of sensitive and it doesn't irritate them. The waterproof variety isn't the most waterproof kind I've ever used, but I actually like that it comes off pretty easily because my eyes get irritated by most of the oil-based removers.

HTH!

I wear Benefit "BADgal lash" from Sephoria.I also used to wear mac but ive falled in love with the Benefit brand. I LOVE all of their products! I was just shopping on the site when i saw this post so im just going to paste the site here just in case. I think that the BADgal lash is $19.

DiorShow- I am obsessed with it. I buy Suave brand shampoo- but DiorShow mascara is a necessity. It is about $23. I like the original one, they sell one that is called "Blackout" and it is super black, but the brush is just not the same.

You can get it at pretty much any department store.

I really like Covergirl Lash Blast.  I've tried the expensive brands as well and this has worked the best for me, and at only around $7 you can't beat the price!

The only mascara I will use is Clinique naturally glossy mascara.  But I like my eyelashes to look totally natural, so it might not be full-body enough for you.  I don't use anything else by Clinique, but that is the only mascara I have ever liked.  I hope you find something that works great for you.

I recently started using Cover Girl's Exact Eyelights fro blue eyes. It has one of those applicators that seperate your lashes and it never clumps. I love it.

I also like Cover Girl Lash Blast  really pumps up my blonde/red eye lashes.  I used to use Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara, but they discontinued my color.

I second the Diorshow recommendation, that stuff is awesome!  But it is kinda expensive and looks too dark on me for day-to-day use, so I save it for evenings.  My favorite wear-to-work drugstore mascara is Loreal Bare Naturale.  It's about $10, goes on without any clumps and gives a daytime appropriate about of darkness, IMO

This may sound totally ridiculous but the pink and green Maybelline mascara is AWESOME - Great Lash I think. I use it everyday and it's only $4.99. I spend money on my make up but I have asked make up artist, and this is actually their perfered brand/make.

Dark brown Lash Blast Waterproof mascara, it's the best one I've found so far. I used to use designer brands but this can't be beat at $7 a tube.

I love Maybelline Full & Soft - I had a hard time finding mascara that I liked because I wanted my eyelashes to look natural but also be darker and thicker, and this stuff is perfect.  I've tried lots of $20+ mascaras at Sephora but this is by far my favorite and its only like $6.

Also, most drugstores will let you return makeup if you try it and don't like it!

Wow--thanks ladies for all of your great input! I knew I would get some good info out of this post!

I think I'm gonna start with the Covergirl Lash Blast since quite a few of you have recommended it. I'm looking for a good overall mascara... no clumps, makes my lashed look fuller and longer, and something that is dark enough to where I don't need to wear eyeliner too!

 
I am interested in trying the higher end mascaras sometime this year too!

*Good to know that most drug stores will let you take it back if you don't like it... I'll have to double check before I purchase!

Thank you again for all of your input?

Ditto. I use the orange tube- it's very waterproof. It can be a little hard to get off, but it definitely holds up. And for the price, you can replace it every month the way you're supposed to and not feel guilty

Thanks for the input Pammies!

I like Avon's wash off waterproof mascara.  It's always on sale and I have yet to order mascara from Avon that I didn't like.

I use the orange tube too, but mine is not waterproof.  It still doesn't come off easily, so I think you can go either way.
