I’ve been using Dior but I’m sure there’s a dupe that will do the job, and Dior is spendy (around $28-30). I just want a nice non-clumpy good coverage, non-irritating mascara. I have black eyelashes that are already long and curly so my needs are pretty simple.
My mom in law gave me Lancôme and I liked that okay but looking for something else.

I use Blinc which is a tube mascara. I like it because it doesn’t smudge yet comes off with water.

I like L'Oréal double extend, which is also a tube mascara. It's one of the only ones that doesn't give me racoon eyes. If I need waterproof though, I use the Dior Show in waterproof.

I love Two Faced "Better Than Sex" but it is spendy too ... worth it for me  (It is not a tube mascara) |

I use L'Oreal Voluminous and have for years. Great mascara for a drugstore price. If I'm buying a non-drugstore mascara, it's Estee Lauder Sumptious.

Cover Girl Lash Blast, any of them but I usually pick the orange. I've had many expensive mascaras and always thought Cover Girl was the best.

I was just reading about L’Oréal double extend. I think I’ll try that next. Like Leanne I like Too Faced Better Than Sex the best and L’Oréal lash paradise for swimproof mascara.
ETA: Just reread and see Cmpeter’s post about double extend. Missed it first read through. Glad to see someone likes it. Going to give it a try. Everyone at work has those really nice looking fake lashes that you get reapplied every 2 weeks. I have no desire for that kind of maintenance or cost.

Neutrogena Healthy Volume. I’ve never used anything but drug store brands.

I have black eyelashes that are already long and curly so my needs are pretty simple. My mom in law gave me Lancôme and I liked that okay but looking for something else. I really love Maybeline, the classic pink and green (smudge free) and their “looks like false lashes” or something like that. I looove the packaging and prettiness of spendy makeup but when it comes to mascara, drug stores brands have always worked better for me. |

I have tried many higher end brands, and still do, but when it comes down to it Mabelline Great Lash is equally as good or better. I have a lot of lashes so some brands clump easily and maybe the drugstore brands are thinner or just different wands.
Right now I have IT superhero open and it’s very clumpy, and Doll 10, which is great but harder to find.

I use L'Oreal Voluminous and have for years. Great mascara for a drugstore price. I used L'Oreal Voluminous for years and LOVED it. For some stupid reason I switched. I have gone back to it, and still love, love, love it especially with the L'Oreal Voluminous primer underneath too. Wow!!! I conditions my lashes so beautifully. |

The only one I'll wear is Benefit's Bad Girl Bang mascara. I usually buy it when HSN runs their 3-pack special

I bought Thrive after being targeted by ads. It’s a fiber mascara. It comes off super easy at the end of the day.
The directions say not to apply multiple coats and this is true.
Normally I wear Benefit better than sex.
I’ve tried the L’Oréal & Maybelline ones and they leave dark circles for me. Trust my under eyes are dark enough.

I had tried every expensive brand of mascara ever made and always ended up w/ raccoon eyes, so I was very skeptical when my daughter told me about double extend. I thought there was no way a drug store brand was going to be the answer to my problem, but happily, I was wrong! It’s the best mascara by far for me. And it’s cheap! |

I’ve been using Thrive for years and love it. Comes right off with warm water, never ever smudges or flakes, and truly makes my lashes look longer and thicker. It’s $24 tube mascara; I have it on auto ship every three months.

Essence mascara in the purple and black. $5 and works great! If I want to spend more I’ll get L’Oréal voluminous, the one with the gold lid. I’m tempted to try a primer to see if it helps. I need volume not length.

I love L'Oréal double extend. It doesn't smudge, flake, smear or run. I do put Covergirl lash extension (orange tube) over it though. It adds a little more volume and that's what I use on my bottom lashes.

Mabeline Great Lash for me. No clumps, no raccoon eyes and comes off easily. I’ve tried lots of others but always come back to the pink and green tube.

I love Urban Decay Perversion mascara. I used it for a while, then didn't want to spend the $23 on it (or whatever it is), so I was buying drug store mascaras for a few years. I just got a new tub of the UD one a few weeks ago, and I don't think I will be buying any other going forward.
I do have semi sensitive eyes, and they water a lot due to allergies, so I always buy the waterproof mascara. This is fantastic, not clumpy, layers well if needed, stays put! We took an unplanned trip to the water park yesterday afternoon. My eyeliner (also Urban Decay) and mascara stayed put!

The last time we had this thread, I bought 4 of the Pea top-rated brands. I'm still working my way through them, but so far, I like L'Oreal's Bambi Eyes waterproof. It seems to be the least clumpy, least smudgy and interferes with my gas permeable contact lenses the least.

I have a really hard time finding one that doesn’t smudge. Thrive causemetics is great and a tube lasts a really long time. I also like Lancôme teint idole and Clinique. For drugstore L’Oréal unlimited is very similar to teint idole. I also have maybelline sky high right now but it’s hard to remove.
