@San Antonio Gal  What do you like about this Essence mascara?  I love my Lancôme Idole but would use a lesser expensive one on days when I don't fuss much.

Maybelline lash sensational sky high is wonderful; however, after purchasing several times, I realized it was not lasting very long before it seemed like it was too dry to use, or I had used it all.  Decided to try Thrive mascara the one that Sensational sky high has duped.  It is such a good formula and one tube lasts for much longer than two or three of the Maybelline.  I can get a solid three months out of it.  Get compliments all the time.

 

I've been wanting to try the new Mac Stack mascara.  It looks like a a good one and is getting great reviews.

I need a mascara. I always have used double extend L'Oreal mascara. But the last 2 tubes that I've bought within the month are just leaving flakes and dots everywhere under my eyes, on my face. I'm sick of buying a new tube only to have this happen. L'Oreal mascara has never done this until it's gotten old but these are new tubes.

I can't afford QVC mascara so only drugstore recommendations please. TY!!

@Midmod   I've used the L'Oreal Voluminous mascara for many years. I've also gotten a few tubes that flaked...dried out. I returned them for others, no questions asked. I never use high-end mascara because I toss it every 3 months finished or not.

 

I also use a freah tube for each client and they take it home. No chance of contaimination. I don't think I'd giveout $25 mascaras.

 

***When I do brides' makeup, I do use Lancome Monsieur Big and they keep the tube.

@LuvSoCal - provides both volume and length.  I've tried many other brands and this one is tops.   Hope it works for you if you decide to try it.

Essence, the green one. I call it my 1, 2, 3 Woosh mascara. Makes lashes long and lush!

I second, third or fourth the Essence mascara with the green writing.  It HAS to be the one with the green writing on the tube.

 

I have tried the others, with the exception of the waterproof versions, and they are a no.  When I needed a new mascara last time, I bought a YouTubers recommendation of the Essence Lash Stylist and I don't like it at all.  

 

Maybelline Lash Sensational is another favorite.  I like it slightly less than the Essence because it has the rubberized brush and I prefer the old school wand on my mascara.

 

Another I love is L'Oreal Age Perfect Lash Magnifying Mascara but it is hard to find.  It doesn't beat out Essence but it's a good one.

I keep trying others and always go back to Tarte Lash, Camera, Lashes - I actually just bought a 4 pack on sale because I finally decided not to try others. 

I put one coat on and let it dry for about 45 seconds, do a 2nd coat, wait again and then a 3rd. I am 50 and get asked what mascara I use all the time.
