Is this Maybelline -- the one in the pink tube?  If so, I used to use it a long time ago.  I had forgotten it.  I think a lot of beauty experts really like this.  Thanks for the reminder!


I honestly don't know how experts still recommend that Great Lash mascara. That IMO is one of the worst mascaras out there.  It makes my lashes stiff and crunchy and they break and fall out.

I have never had that happen with Great Lash, were you using the waterproof one perhaps? I have had other mascaras do this to me, I stick with 3 mascaras: Lancôme, Merle Norman and Great Lash...occasionally I try something else and in the trash it goes...lol

Maybelline Colossal Lashes

 

Cover Girl has some new ones for volume that's not bad.

 

L'Oreal Voluminous flakes on me.

 

They do test on animals, I think.

I ordered 2 of the Essence brand from Ulta and I'm really liking them. I think they're like $3-4 each. Both tubes are black and one has mint green lettering and one is a bright pink writing.

Thanks --- sounds good to me!

I've read lots of recommendations for L'Oreal's Voluminous, but haven't used it myself.

 

I use something called Instant Lash by NYC that seems to be thick, is not waterproof, and I definitely use only one coat and I'm happy with it. It was $1.00 a tube at Walmart last time I bought it.

 

Edited to add that it has the old-fashioned wand with bristles of the same length, not like the Almay wand pictured above.

 

Also, elf has very INexpensive mascaras, $1 to $3, I think, which are available in supermarkets and drugstores and fromtheir website and may be worth a try. 


@noodleann

 

Thank you for your recommendations.  I have used other NYC and Elf products but not mascara.  I will give them a try!

Ouch -- really?  Oh, dear.  I sure can't afford to lose lashes!!
