Your mascara recommendations

Hi beauties,

I want to do an article on women sharing their favourite mascara of all time and why, and who knows their beauty better than the beautyheaven members?

If you wouldn’t mind posting below your ride or die mascara, as well as why you love it, I would be eternally grateful.

    Hands down Benefit Roller Lash. I’ve used so many over the years, and this is the one that actually gets my lashes to be properly visible without using an eyelash curler. Game-changing!

      Yes eriberry I’d agree with you, it’s fantastic isn’t it. Bit pricey though, but definitely lives up to the hype. I’ve been through a few tubes of this.

    My fav is still Estée Lauder double wear mascara. I wish i could find a cheaper one I like as much haha

    Totally agree. One of my favourite luxe mascaras.

    clinique lash power mascara – even a mascara dummy like me can’t go wrong with it.
    Recommended to me by SJ and now I love it
    A close second would be the Bad girl bang by Benefit

    Loreal Paradise Mascara and Loreal Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara are my go-to mascaras!

  • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

    L’oreal Butterfly Sculpt mascaras. I find the wand is the best at accessing even the smallest of lashes.

    Not really. I got mascara for 74 bucks and the one I got for 10 (half price) beats it in every way. When an outsider, without knowing which cost more , points out the better one…Just do the test. Paint one eye with one being 70-100 bucks worth…then the other with same one coat that costs you in priceline or CW half price for 10 bucks. Ask stranger which one performs better, gives better result.

    Placebo aside.

    OMG……I’m just browsing Mecca, and I’ve come across a new addition to their site, name I haven’t heard of before. Westman Atelier. It’s $95!

    Edit……there’s also a Chantecaile one for $110.

    That’s just crazy!

    In my rotation are faaab 5 mascaras:

    Budget:
    Revlon So Fierce! – lengthens lashes amazingly well! Brush has very stiff plastic bristles, so the formula will coat every single lash, no mater of how tiny it is. This gives look of more lashes as well. I can use only one coat, as more will be an overkill, mascara is really really good! Glides over lash, not sticking them together and no clumps, not the tiniest one. Been stopped today and asked what mascara I am using. Holds curl all day. Easy to remove with water. Smudge free. CAn be used for falsies effect.

    Mid end:
    MAC Bold and Bad Lash – has 2 brushes. Small one for lower lashes and corners or tiny detail work, when I want to enhance the length concentrating on the tips. Each lash coated. Zero clumps. Length enhanced. Again, one coat for me enough. Holds curl. No flaking. Fab every day mascara!
    Better than Sex Too Faced – curls, lengthens, coats each lash, no clumps, lasts all day , no flaking, fast to apply as the formula just glides on from root to tip in one go.

    High end:
    Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl – curved wand, gives me cull even without curler. Holds the curl all day. Thicker formula than those above, but still no clumping. Bold, so I use one coat as well. Gives length and thickness.
    Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara – Stays put all day without smudging, flaking. No clumps. Smooth formula coats each lash with precision, giving length, definition and effect of more lashes as well as it coats each smallest lash without sticking them together. Holds curl as well (I use curler with it and other mascaras but Dior one).

    Looove a good mascara. If it does not do all I want and even a bit lacks in performance, I toss them. These are in my rotation as they are all so fab! Revlon one, woooowza!

    I got a sample of the Chanel Le Volume Mascara when my friend bought a perfume and I love that one but it is a bit expensive.

    • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

      I’ll second that! I got David Jones vouchers for my birthday a few years back, and I spent them on Chanel goodies. Total luxury! You certainly do get what you pay for.
