My latest fave is Maybellines Full and Soft, but Im still loving their Colossal mascara and CGs Lash Blast, all combined with a Shu Uemura eyelash curler, of course…

Diorshow Iconic! Its my fave mascara, ever. I wear it with Clarins Double Fix mascara to seal it in because underneath all that awesome-ness, it still bleeds due to my oily eyelids. Clarins Double Fix just about perfects it.

Since very recently, YSL Faux-Cils, and I love it. (Love its price a bit less but anyway…) It does separate, lenghten and volumize like crazy since you can build up with as many coats as you want very easily. It stills leaves the lashes very soft and it doesnt flake. Plus it smells great!

Good (Monday) Morning! Ive been using a two: Lancomes Defincils Hypnose (free gift). I like Defincils….I like it but Im not really in love. I havent found a to love :0(

I have been using mostly Kanebo Kate Dollish Long Mascara (black). It really is waterproof (my first requirement for a mascara) – I have tested it in most severe conditions. It has these fibers, but my lashes are only occationally lenghtened. I think I do not apply it properly.

ive been using Prescriptives False Eyelashes for a while now and I love it because it gives me just enough volume and plenty of length without being clumpy on me like Dior Show. Now of course, just found out this weekend that Prescriptives will be kaput. *sigh*

Ive been either Diorshow or Lash Stiletto, depending on the effect Im looking for. Both are nice, but Ill be going back to Mary Kay Ultimate as my daily staple. Love it!

I use Max Factor 2000 Calorie mostly because it’s one of the few mascaras available in Auburn. Browns and blacks look too harsh on me for day.

MaxFactor False lash effect with CoverGirl Lashblast WP over.
It doesn’t feel as harsh on the lashes if a layer a waterproof mascara over a non-waterproof one.

I received a free sample from clinique when I bought a lipstick, not sure what it is exactly, but I really like it. I won’t buy it though, because I think through all my trials with mascara, the most value is drugstore brands.

The new one from Bare Escentuals called Flawless definition and I really like it! I have the sample…when I get my Givenchy I’ll go get a full size of that one too.

Flawless Definition is my new fave too. The only problem i have with it ,is that my lids are super oily and that makes my mascara smear a tiny pinch.But i solved that by buying Bare Escentuals lid primer,love that too!Funny thing ,the MAC artist suggested the mascara and the lid primer!

I’m doing a mascara combo I use my Lancome Defincils (I think thats how you spell it) first then i use YSL’s Volume Infini Volume Curl with a different mascara brush (The brush on that mascara sucks! So I use a disposable wand and wash it daily.). And my lashes come out long, curly, and just beautiful!

Just bought Covergirl Lash Blast and I like it so far. Only tested once at home so the verdict is still out. I combine Cover Last Volume Lash and Givenchy (nice combo). I love Lancome and decided to buy Virtuose Not worth the money. Deficils is better. I am always in search of great concealer and mascara.

LashBlast is my fav right now. I used to use DiorShow, still love it, but LashBlast does the job for me for alot less money. I bought a pack of 3 at Costco. Sweet!
Great Lash is great too. I want to try Rimmel next.

I am absolutely shocked nobody else mentioned L’Oreal Voluminous! It’s been my HG for years! I use the waterproof version. 🙂 Occasionally I will try other mascaras but I always go back to this one.
