Re: Best over the counter mascara for the money.

Right now I like the loreal telescopic with a layer of voluminous. I haven't really tried any other drugstore brands. I love the too faced better then and these compare to that.

I LOVE Telescopic. I use the waterproof version. It holds a curl and makes my lashes really long.I've been meaning to get some waterproof voluminous too.

L'Oreal Voluminous for me too. I use the black/brown, would love it if it came in colors.

Jordana Best Lash Extreme. It's $2.99 at Walgreen's and it's the best darn stuff around. There are a couple other Jordana mascaras, but I don't like them. The Best Lash Extreme is in a black tube with lavender lettering. I got my daughter using it and now she's got a bunch of others hooked on it too.

My Kmart carries Jordana too

I've tried most of the drugstore brands and keep going back to L'Oreal Voluminous. It's the only one that doesn't flake or smear on me. One coat does it - adds length and volume.

Everyone's skin chemistry is different. Both the Lash Blast and Jordana gave me raccoon eyes.

I love the L'Oreal Voluminous also. I am now trying the IT mascara to see if my lashes will look as long as the models! Smiley Happy

I agree, for drugstore I like L'Oreal Voluminous too. Otherwise I like Estee Lauder Sumptuous. I buy the waterproof for myself, but the regular is good too.

Someone on another post recced Almay's Get Up and Grow mascara. I bought the waterproof version and I love it. It keeps the curl and at the end of the day it still looks nice unlike some other mascaras I have used.

I love Maybelline volume express One by One in the big orange tube. This adds volume and some length to my thin lashes. It also lasts all day and night since I have my makeup on for 12 to 16 hours.

I bought one tube of Voluminous and hated it. Lots of smudges. Not pretty! I get lots of smudges from Maybelline mascara too.

L'oreal Voluminous hands down! I rarely like any other over the counter mascara. Great Lash is awful now. It was a good one 25 years ago. Most Maybelline mascaras I don't like either. Cover Girl Lash blast is an ""ok"" one.

Voluminous is FAR better than IT. I got the IT one in the last TSV, and it did "nothing" for my lashes.
