Something inexpensive and can be bought in any drug store. Just want my lashes to look full, soft and a little longer. Every day use and nothing fancy. Tried a new one by Revlon and it was AWFUL!!! I thought it would work because the wand had 2 different kinds of bristles. But it didn't and all the mascara did was CLUMP. I'd like to keep the bristles on the soft, natural side. Not the rubbery kind.

So What Happened?

Great suggestions ladies!! Looks like Maybelline and Cover Girl are highly recommended. I used Great Lash years ago and yes, I did love it but moved on to something else so maybe I'll try it again. Never tried Lash Blast but I've seen it everywhere so maybe I'll give that one a shot. Thanks!

Maybelline Great Lashes. It is Pink with a Green top. It comes regular and waterproof. Try not to sleep in ANY mascara, it can make the lashes brittle and break them when you roll onto your face.

Remember if you purchase waterproof mascara, you will need to use something to remove it, lotion, baby oil... Maybelline also makes a "Great Lash BIG".. It works well too.

Years ago I was watching some special on E! and the make up artist recommended the Maybelline in the pink tube with the curved wand. I've been using it ever since. Inexpensive and works great!

I LOVE Lash Blast! I used to love the Maybelline Great Lash but it seems like it just melts off my lashes in a couple of hours and gives me horrible black rings!

I've used a lot of different ones. I like Clinique and Estee Lauder. The newest Estee has the vibrating wand which I thought was a joke but I ended up loving it.

I've just started using Lash Blast in the orange tube. I think Drew Barryomore models it. It really thickens and separates the lashes! I change it up every once in awhile just like shampoo (whether or not the myth is true about your "hair" or "lashes" getting used to one certain product). I love Lash Blast, but I also have used Great Lashes with wonderful results. The Lash Blast really made a difference I could see right away. Good luck!

I think if you can get it where you live, Maybeline has a wonderful assortment of mascaras'. I find the one with the all around brush works best. Believe me I have tried several and I always go back to Maybeline with the all around brush. I find it goes on easy, no clumping and you can get it in various colors and regular or waterproof. Remember mascara is no good after about 3-4 mos. depending on the usage and don't use the brush in the tube going around the edges' of the tube (you ruin the brush) only use the brush dipping it in and out. Keeping it for to long a period can cause eye irritation. Good Luck!

Another fan of l'oreal voluminous! I didn't think maybelline great lash did enough, takes too many applications to get the same look as l'oreal.

i agree with mabelline great lash. loreal voluminous is okay too, but i have found that they all work pretty much the same, my avon lady agrees too and she doesn't even buy avon mascara, she gets the pink/green tube. what really helps my lashes is a curler, you don't mention if you use one but i would highly recommend it if you don't.

Another vote for Maybelline Great Lash. I prefer the regular, seems like the waterproof actually smudges more for me....
