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.

i swear by every mascara LANCOME makes.

they know their mascaras!

i usually buy them when there is a gift with purchase OR when nordstrom has their mascara special.

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.
