Drug store mascara rec please BUT not a wet goopy one

doglover3 — Tue, 03 Mar 2015 10:48:25 GMT

I hate spending so much on mascaras so would love to find a drug store mascara but so far no luck since the ones I tried were wet and goopy. When they are like this my sparse lashes(long enough bur I need volume) just get clumped together which I hate.

Benefit They're Real is very wet for me and looks very spidery and clumpy. Mally volumizing is decent but would rather find a decent drug store one if possible.

I don't like spidery lashes or fake looking ones but do like them to look a bit thicker than they are.

So, if anyone can suggest a decent mascara for volume that isn't wet and goopy I would appreciate it.

I second that! One of the best mascaras I have used (Voluminous Butterfly)! I want to try the Intenza version next.

I happened upon a great deal at BJ's a couple of months back when I happened to be almost out of mascara: Almay One Coat Thickening Mascara--2 in a package for $8! Since you said you need volume, this could do the trick. Good stuff!

Try all of those, but please, if you get a chance try Jordana Best Lash Extreme. You can get it at Walgreens or Kmart. I think it's $2.99. It is awesome. If it was Chanel or Dior they wouldn't be able to keep it in stock!

If you don't want wet or goopy, stay away from Revlon. I went back to Maybelline. It's much better.

^^^^^This! I've used it for years, occasionally I will try something else, but always go back to L'Oreal Voluminous.

I also love Loreal voluminous. It doesnt make my eyelashes feel stiff and crunchy.

Any L'Oreal Waterproof mascara. Also, the regular Voluminous. Maybelline Rocket Waterproof. I use waterproof every day.

I don't find your long running big name drugstore brands, like the Cover Girls and the L'oreals, to be significantly cheaper especially when you can purchase twofers (or sixfers) quite often of the 'prestige' labels. For example I'm presently using Bare Minerals Lash Dominance that I picked up in a kit (at Ulta) with 2 loose eyeshadows for...wait for it....$10.00!!! And yes it's full size! (although the packaging is different)

I have the L'oreal tubular formula, which is good, but I haven't tried the much less expensive elf or Jordana, etc (I do have elf in queue in my stash)

Flower's Zoom mascara. Works good, not too wet, and cruelty free, if that matters to you.

But I also agree that sometimes when you can buy a set of 2 or three of the one you really like, it ends up being about the same as a drugstore brand. I am always surprised at how much drugstore makeup costs these days!

CoverGirl Clump Crusher and Maybelline Full 'n Soft are my favorite drugstore mascaras. I need waterproof mascara and the CoverGirl Clump Crusher is my favorite waterproof drugstore mascara. Full 'n Soft regular is very good, but I don't like the waterproof version.

Lash Discovery by Maybelline gives excellent length. It has a narrow brush so it's easy to get in at the lash line too.

I totally agree with these recommendations and have been using them for years. Also currently loving L'Oreal telescopic which is VERY lengthening! I try and periodically stray to higher end but am always disappointed.

Almay is what I use and love - never wet or clumpy. I have tried others but always go back to Almay. They have a couple different types depending on whether you want volume or lengthening or both.
