Need a new mascara...recs please

I used Lash Architect by Loreal for a really long time and they stopped making it so I've been using some Clinique stuff that I hate. I no longer want to spend more than $10 for a tube. I have long lashes but I would like them to be thicker. Please reccommend something to thicken (and maybe lengthen, I want them to look fake!) that won't flake all over the place and won't cost me a fortune. thanks!

Re: Need a new mascara...recs please

  • Really liked Dior Show, but got tired of spending $20+ for mascara.  have since switched to Maybelline Great Lash (pink bottle with a green cap).  There's no gimmicks, just plain mascara, and it works great.

    Since I can usually get it for less than $5 when it goes on sale, I buy a new tube every 3 months or so, before it has a chance to start drying up.  Really good mascara.

  • Dior Extase.

    Although like the PP, I also like Maybelline Great Lash. I have been using MGL for 20 plus years but I think the Dior Extase is better, if that is at all possible.

  • Gawd!  I hate when you find the perfect mascara and then it's no longer made.  I used an Avon brand before and it didn't last long but it gave me crazy length.  I now use Falsies and it's great  but you have to be careful to not make your lashes look clumpy.  I may have to try out this Dior stuff you all are talking about.....
  • I've always heard that spending a ton of money on mascara is a waste- That all the formulas are essentially the same, so with mascara you really are just paying for the name.

    I'm currently trying Maybeline's Mega Plush Mascara- I really like the gel formula, but I have to really layer it up to get the coverage I want. But, once I get it on I love it. It's soft and doesn't flake or smudge.

    On the higher end, I LOVE BareMinerals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara- It has the best mascara brush I have ever used. Its only flaw is that it doesn't come in waterproof :/

  • I used to think Dior Show was hype...until i used it!! Amazing but $$$$

     

    for the drugstore I like Loreal Volumillion Lashes or The Falsies is ok. also Rimmel Sexy Curves really curls. but THE DIOR SHOW is amazing. just significantly better.

    Look, one coat w Loreal. One w/ Dior

  • I have heard a lot of good things about Dior but have not tried it myself.

    Right now my top three are Bad Gal by Benefit, Josie Maran and Urban Decay.  I have a lot of others - all were samples or full sizes included with other items. I have yet to find one that I am willing to go out and purchase. Lancome does nothing for me.

  • Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara is a building mascara. It retails for $15. I like it.
  • L'Oreal Double Extend tube formula.
  • image-auntie-:
    L'Oreal Double Extend tube formula.

    I love this too. I always get compliments on my lashes, everyone wants to know what I use. The best part is--no smudges!

  • I was extremely impressed by Vicotria's Secrete mascaras. In fact I was thinking about it today to stop and get some.

     I do use a lot of dior products and have multiple mascaras, I love how they look but the only thing I don't like about them, they are a pain to take off and wash off your face.

  • My new favourite is Benefit's They're Real.
  • I've tried a couple of the Dior formulas and wasn't impressed with either of them - super clumpy.  Then again, I'm a tough customer, I've yet to find a mascara that I love - cheap or pricey. Outside of the L'oreal Double Extend I've tried all that were listed and none were my "holy grail" find.  The search continues.

    THIS. oh em gee. I am obsessed with this mascara.  

  • If you want something under 10 dollars, I think maybeline voluminess mascara is great.  However, my favorite mascara at the moment is lancome's hypnose drama (yes I know I use a lot of lancome lol)
  • I use DiorShow for more expensive and L'Oreal Voluminous for a cheaper version.
