I’m loving my “Falsies” mascara right now. I’m sure its not the best best on the market but i got tired of buying stuff trying it hating it and moving to the next $10.00-$15.00 mascara lol.
I love mine too! I also love diorshow and badgal lash
Dior Iconic, but I’m always looking for something better.
I am so impressed with Chanel’s Inimitable Intense right now. It lengthens and curls my eyelashes upwards, while keeping them looking soft and separated. It’s a very naturally beautiful effect. My only complaint is that the tube has less product than Dior mascaras. I think I will repurchase anyway!
I love the chanel one as well i am about to purcase my 2nd one
I use Chanel Imitable (not Intense, the “old” one) and I am quite simply addicted to it! Have tried Dior and Armani before, but Chanel is the best for me and I have bought it twice and will buy it again.
MUFE aqua smokeylash. I don’t know anything else that will curl my lashes and keep em that way the whole day. A little clumpy but once you use a spoolie it’s fine
Lancome Hypnose. I love that it lengthens, volumizes, and curls MY lashes.
dito! one of the best mascaras ever made, no wonder they introduce new versions of it (though nothing can beat the original)
Ohhh I’ve been thinking to get that….so it’s totally worth it then, ladies?! It’s almost around $50 here in Australia, so I wanna be sure before I invest….I’m used to buying Max Factor or Covergirl mascaras so this would be quiet a slurge for me!! ;p
‘Kiss Me’
It’s Japaness mascara. @_ @
YES! it’s my favorite to– the only one that’ll curl my stubborn, droopy asian lashes
I love make-up forever smokey lash at the moment, but it’s rather expensive so I’m looking for a cheaper alternative
I love BadGal by Benefit. For me, the best mascara ever!! It curls, adds volume and it’s really black!!
I agree!!
I love Buxom lash mascara. I am not sure if that is the real name. But I die for that mascara!
I love that mascara, too! It’s one of the absolute best I’ve ever tried. It makes my lashes look extra long and separated.
Collistar – infinito
Guerlain Le 2 mascara. It makes my eyelashes long and curled, they almost touch my upper lid which is an achievement as they’re very short and sparse!
Armani Eyes to Kill – high end
Avon Supercurlacious – low end
Dior Iconic
I love the Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara. It’s simply wonderful for those of us who have long lashes but want to have curl and separation also. I use their Inimitable Mascara as well. Beware, though, their waterproof formula is not very good, and I got that straight from Paris Chanel!
Rimmel Sexy Curves
Ditto!
hell yea
I love Flirt! It Curls Mascara. I think I get the best results with that.
Dior Diorshow does a good job on my lashes, although it’s not really a curling mascara. Well, actually, I would say more than good…absolutely love it 🙂
Chanel Inimitable Intense is the best EVERYTHING mascara!
Dior Dior Show Iconic is the BEST!
I`m also in LOVE with Lancome Hypnose =]
Love Bare Escentuals “Buxom Lash”!
I’ve been using Lorac’s Visual Effects mascara and I’m quite fond of it. I also love the Maybelline Falsies mascara.
rimmel sexy curves
Anastasia lash lifting mascara is good.
I have short and very straight lashes and I love Lioele’s Waterproof Up & Down Mascara. it’s on the expensive side, but it makes me look like I actually have bottom lashes, so that’s definitely a plus.
Love,love Clinique High Intensity Curling !! Have tried Chanel, Lancome and Dior but I always go back to this one. Not clumpy and curls wonderfully ! Not to hard on the pocketbook either 🙂
Diorshow Blackout for me.
Shishedo lasting lift!!!!! its the best curling mascara i’ve ever used!!!! i cant rmb how many high end mascara ive tried over years and this is the only one that can hold my curls ALL DAY LONG and lengthening it as well. My lashes look like false lashed when wearing them!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
BTW, my overall HG mascara is Diorshow Blackout! it curls, lengthening, and intensify my lashes like no others. but in terms of curling only, i would still go for shishedo lasting lift
I agree!! Shiseido Lasting Lift doesn’t get enough love!
I think the only mascara that I felt really curled my lashes without me having to do it first is Sephora Lash Stretcher. I don’t like how incredibly fiber-y the formula is, but I keep it in my bag in case I forget mascara/need a touch up, and I don’t have to keep an eyelash curler in there, too.
Channel Inimitable for me too!Though Dior Diorshow is pretty good too.I want to try Hypnose before I buy my next mascara..
Rimmel Sexy Curves Intense Black – gives me nice curls even without the use of a curler, it doesn’t always work though, and I’ve not yet found out when and then why it works and sometimes it just doesn’t. 😛
Dior Iconic!!! OMG I don’t need a lash curler when using this one 🙂
I love Helena Rubinstein. The one with the feathers is the best, it`s legthening and curling.
yves st laurent faux cils
Le 2 de Guerlain
Maestro in black from ARMANI. It looks like I’m wearing fake eyelashes.
The now discontinued Maybelline Lash Stylist Waterproof-it was like mascara and hairspray in a tube- held a curl and didn’t budge!
Diorshow ICONIC
Nars Lengthening Mascara. My lashes stick straight out, even with my Shu lash curler. I’ve tried about every mascara out there. Dior, Tarte, Smashbox, every mascara listed below. And Nars is the only one that curls my lashes and keeps them curled. I can take a nap (and I sleep with a pillow over my head), wake up and my lashes are still curled. That is something.
Kiss Me Heroine Long&Curl Mascara,japan product. It really curls my lash and long lasting for all day long, it’s waterproof so even when your face got splashed by water it stays as it is
Urban Decay SuperCurl. Amazing!
