Hi Beauty Readers!

I like waterproof mascara because most regular mascaras flake or smudge on me.  I think I have watery eyes or something.  For a long time I wore Chanel and it didn't flake or anything, and then all of a sudden it seemed to.  And let's face it, Chanel Mascara is pricey.

I started using L'oreal Paradise Lash in waterproof and love it.  But hate taking it off.  I tried Thrive tubular mascara (I think it's tubular) but I just don't want giant lashes everyday.  I know, some of you just clutched your pearls.  LOL

I like a natural look.  Just want my lashes darker not really crazy long.  in comes Essence Bye Bye Panda Eyes.  Its cheap.  $5.  I like it.  I think it works well.  comes off easily.  I have been wearing it for a week or so.  No complaints.  Dark lashes with one coat.  No flaking or smudging.  Except for when I get to close to my lash line and smear it on myself.  LOL.  

When I finish this I will try the Milani one, that also seems to be tublar, cheap and a huge fane base on line.  

Anyone trying these?  What's your favorite mascaras?  Do you change or stilck to one?  Inquiring minds want to know.  :-)

I also like Essence mascara--Lash Princess with the green writing on black item.  I will look for the Panda one next time I am in Ulta.  Thanks for the rec.

I don't wear mascara much these days.  I have dry eyes and my eyes either water excessively or are oily from my  nighttime ointment.  (Sigh)

I don't have need for waterproof mascara, but this mascara and the primer have been my go-to for years. I have skimpy lashes, but thanks to using a growth serum and these two products, my lashes look the best that they can.

I agree about Chanel waterproof mascara. Great mascara and it is pricey. I've been using Too Faced waterproof mascara. Don't recommend as it is so hard to take it off!! It does stay on lashes, no flaking. But removing it is a real chore!!!

I'm not that picky about mascara, most any will work for me.

I like the softer look that Lancome has and most I've tried have been fine. I usually use whatever comes in a beauty kit or beauty box.

I hated Lash Paradise.  It was more like Lash He11 on me.  And I've liked the L'Oreal Voluminous one in the past.  

I have one of the Essence ones in waiting to try out.  I think it's the black with the green writing.  I use a Belle mascara on my lower lashes.  The brush seems to find those lower lashes better than any other.  I figure it'll probably be replaced with her new line.

Currently using Benefit Roller Lash mascara on my upper lashes only.  I like it okay, and I only use one coat over my primer.  It lifts and curls (kinda sounds like a bra), but I still need a lash curler to make me happy.  I use a heated one I really like.

Loved Urban Decay Cannonball -- then they discontinued it. Boo! No flaking, totally waterproof, no raccoon eyes. So sad to see it go. Moved onto UD Perversion (regular-not waterproof) and since Cannonball, have used this one consistently for day-to-day wear although I am constantly still looking for a Cannonball dupe. I just cannot get over my love for Cannonball so a tube of Badgal Bang Volumizing Mascara is waiting in the wings to try.

Tried Paradise Lash (regular) but didn't like it at all, same with the Miliani mascara with the green writing, tried it for about a week and that was the end of it. Way in the past I used L'Oreal Voluminous, tried it again when it came up here in a post, but it too has fallen by the wayside. All of these had their issues: clumping, difficulty in getting the right amount on the wand, smudging, flaking, poor payoff after lots of effort, etc.  Agreed on the Chanel mascara. I will pick up a tube (what a treat!) if a special occasion is coming up. It is so easy to achieve a feathery lash with volume at the base and no fear of flakes or smudges. I hate when a mascara creates those spider lashes or clumps several together. Never had this trouble with Chanel or Perversion. When a thread of this type comes up it is great to learn of other's experience. Appreciate everyone's input!

I agree, Loreal voluminous isn't the same as it used to be, several years back.  The Essence one, starts out nice, then quickly gets thick and clumpy. Threw both out.

Shiseido used to make a nice one, but I haven't tried them in a long time.  I HATED Two Faced, Better than , (that dumb name) ditched that one too. Rimmel had a good one too, but it does get thick , clumpy, too...ive tried too many to mention here.

I basically like my lashes, lifted, and long looking.  Not thick, but enough for some dimension.  I stay with Benefit Rollerlash...I like it the best, and it works better than their other mascaras,  no flaking,  no clumps, and not too thick.  For  me lengthens nicely,  I do use a lash curler, but it works pretty good without too.

I'd like to try something new...but Rollerlash is my best so far.

All my blinds are closed.  How on earth did you see me do that? LOL

I wear false lashes now (long ones).  When I did wear mascara, my mascara of choice was Loreal Telescopic Carbon Black. I added powder to my lashes, before and during application, to make them longer and give more volume.

I know, I know.  I sound like a broken record, but this is the one I've stuck with year after year.

There's also a waterproof version, but I still prefer the washable formula.
