so what's your favorite? all $$$ aside, what's truely the best?

i need new mascara. i usually buy Clinique's High Definition mascara. i love it, but it seems to dry out very quickly, so 1 container doesn't last very long.

I don't have one favorite brand, but I love the mascaras that have the rubber flexible wands, they are so much better than mascaras with the old skool metally meshy wands.

Covergirl, the purple one. Can't remember what it is called, but I (L) it. It works better than anything I've ever tried.

Ardell Lash Magic...my mom bought it for me because she thinks I waste too much on makeup and "the cheaper stuff works just as well most of the time."

L'Oreal Lash Out. I always keep going back to that one. I did try the purple Covergirl one and that one was just as good.

I am weird, but I use 2.

I do one layer of Telescopic
Then one of Lash Blash

I feel like the Telescopic clumps my lashes together, but it makes them longer looking. The Lash Blast really seperates them.

Maybelline's Collosal Volume express, the bright yellow one. I love it and i'm so picky about my mascaras. definitely my new fave!

i just bought a new one that i really like. It's maybelline colossal volum' express. for me it's mostly about the brush. the best brush that i have encountered is L'oreal double extend mascara. the only problem is they split the tube between "extender" (whatever the hell that is) and the actual mascara so you don't get as much for your money.

I need to find a new mascara. I just can't find one I'm happy with. I try and stick to cruelty free brands for my makeup (Almay, Revlon, Avon, Mary Kay, MAC). The only brand I've yet to try is MAC because they're pricey and I wouldn't have the first clue as to how to go about finding some.

I go through mascara like crazy so I can't afford to buy expensive stuff, but the new Maybelline Colossal Volum Express (yellow and purple) is what I'm using now, and I've heard people say it's comparable to Dior Show. It's the best cheap mascara I've ever used - except I wish it was waterproof.

Dior Show for an exta "pop" and Lancome Flextencils is the best curling mascara for everyday use that I have found. Each tube typcially lasts about 3 months, so worth the money. I am such a product junkie and these are by far my favorite mascaras.

Whatever comes in the pink and green tube, it's been around for years and I get the black waterproof one (Covergirl I think?) And if I get a free sample with my Clinique gift, I'll use that too :yes.

I use lash blast. That one in the big orange tube. I have long lashes as it is, and it just plumps em up. I love it.

Clear mascerra from Cover Girl.

Seriously - I've NEVER been able to put it on right so I can only use clear - they don't make blond.

Right now I use Boots No.7. It's cheap, it doesn't clump and I don't end up with streaks down my cheeks if it rains!

Sky High Curves Waterproof mascara by Maybelline. I can't use anything else, even the expensive brands don't do it for me. I have naturally straight lashes and using this mascara plus heating up my lash curler with my hairdryer is the only thing that works for me. :) I love it.

If you want to spend a little then go for the YSL Faux Cils mascara, it is AMAZING! I mean, if you saw my lashes before and after you would be ordering it immediately. I tell everyone to get it!!!
