Mascara Recommendations

Jordan2 — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 23:59:52 GMT

My favorite higher end mascara is Benefit Bad Gal Bang Mascara at $29. I'm looking for something more affordable, from the drugstore. Please tell me your favorites, thanks!

@Jordan2 - I've only tried it out for a few days but I am LOVING the ELF Xtndr mascara. It's their tubing mascara and it's lasted all day with no flaking, no smudging - even took naps with it on - no clumping, and no fading. Looks as good at the end of the day as it does at the beginning. It has quickly become a favorite.

@Jordan2 posters here turned me on to Essence Lash Princess Falsh Lash Affect mascara. Although i get mascara samples and sometimes full size mascaras in monthly beauty subscriptions, i have repurchased this 3 times now. Love it AND its ONLY $4.99 on Amazon. Ive been a lifelong user of L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara at around $12.00 or so which is still my now 2nd favorite.

@LizzieInSRQ I have used this in the past, I think I got tired of it and wanted to try something else.

My go-to's have been Benefit BadGal Bang and Essence Lash Princess (black tube, green writing), but lately I've been using RMS and I like it a lot too. No matter which one I use. I start with a primer - usually Essence.

Essence Lash Princess Falsh Lash Effect (cruelty-free) at Ulta for $4.99 - cheaper when you use the onilne Ulta coupon. You can order online & pick up in store. Goes on sale about 4 times year at Ulta too!

I have like Tarte maneater a lot. I bought the thrive in green and purple. My favorite has to be the benefit bad gal bang though, the wand is small like the thrive but it curls my unruly lashes. I have it in wild plum. Going to get a backup of it along with the rebel brown.

I am currently using Laura Geller's Kajal Longwear Mascara, sells for $24.00 but on her website you can get it for $14.40 right now. I have used Thrive, Benefit Bad Gal Bang and Essence Lash Princess, wanted to try something different, so far liking it.

While I used CoverGirl LashBlast in the orange tube for years, and would go back to it, I'm currently liking Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes. I'm looking for volume, not length so much, and both of these deliver. I think the Tarte gives a little more curl (I don't use a lash curler), and a bit more volume.

I buy when I find it on sale--I just got A673388 Tarte 4 pc Mascara Vault.

Thought it was a pretty good deal, and now I'm set for at least a year!

@Jordan2 Watch HSN for their deals on this mascara. Usually two for that price. Sometimes, they offer a three pack.

I admit to being a mascara snob just because most of the ones I've tried work well. My latest is one from Anastasia, but I think Lancome's Monsieur Big is excellent. Use that with their primer for unbelievable length and volume.

Many, many years ago there was a drugstore brand, can't recall which brand, but their mascara was called Dial-A-Lash. You could turn a little dial for more or less, depending on what you wanted. It was kinda cool.

Every Lancôme and L'Oréal mascara I've ever tried is exceptional. The price of L'Oréal is great, too.

@Jordan2 If you take advantage of buying Bad Gal when HSN has a special such as a set of 2 etc., that may bring the price down to $10 or $12 per tube. I have purchased my Lancome mascaras from HSN when they are sold in a set of 3. The sets bring the price down to $20 per tube.

@Jordan2

If you're looking for a less expensive one, have I got the recommendation for you!

e.l.f. Lash XTNDR!!!. It is a tubing mascara and I promise you it rivals any higher-end mascara. I've never recommended a lower-end mascara, but this one is primo!

It goes on cleanly, doesn't clump, flake or anything. It just stays ON and looks just as good at bedtime as it did at sunrise. For $7, you at least have to try it once. I love it so much I keep extras. For reference, the higher-end mascaras I have are Tarte Tartlette Tubing mascara & IT Cosmetics Superhero. e.l.f. beats them both! There, I said it.

@BarbiHollywood I used that mascara back in the day, I'm not sure, it might have been Maybelline.
