    I have about 5 tubes of mascara because for some reason I can't resist trying all different kinds! My favorites are:

    1. Lancome Definicils: this is a classic
    2. Wet 'n Wild Megalash Clinical Mascara: surprisingly good for a low price (maybe $5)
    3. Avon SuperShock

    I can't stand a mascara that flakes, and none of these do for me. I lightly roll the mascara wand on a square of toilet paper so there isn't any excess when I apply it, then I use a mascara comb after the mascara dries so each lash is separated.

    I go through mascara every 2-3 weeks. What about y'all?

    I use mascara every day, but I have more than one, so I don't go through them quickly at all. Mine are more likely to get thrown away because I'm bored with it, it starts to flake, or I just want an excuse to try a new one!

    About every month.

    My lashes are so fair too that I only buy black. Gets boring after awhile. :yawn:

    My favorite so far is Tarte "Lights, Camera, Lashes" but I would like to try the "Organic Wear" from Physician's Formula, I've heard people swear by it ...

    Makeup Forever's Smoky Lash is awesome!!

    But my all time favorite is Diorshow by Christian Dior. (O.M.G.!!! lashes look amazing!)

    I'll have to try Diorshow. I've heard this from several people. I hope they make a waterproof.

    I'm not crazy about purchasing mascara. You are only supposed to keep them 3 months after opening. I tend to use a tube longer than that -- maybe 4 or 5 months.

    I always have a couple of "samples" to open and try. I go for the Free Gift with purchase offers and many of them include mascara. Two that I am "testing" and like: Clinique -- high lengths mascara. Pricey ($23.00) -- has a curved, fine tooth comb. Very nice result but I think I saw a couple of lashes fall out after removing with my Eye Makeup Remover.

    Estee Lauder -- Sumptuous, Bold, Volume lifting mascara. A good product. Slightly less than the Clinique ($21.00), but still pricey. Don't get the waterproof. Read that you can't get it off your lashes easily -- even with eye make-up remover.

    I'm currently using Cover Girl's "lash perfection" and I really like the brush on it. Seems to really lengthen my lashes. :smile:

    Plus it's cheap...like me. :bigsmile: :laugh:

    clinique high lengths is only 14.50, it's the same everywhere - I only know because I work at MAC across from them =D

    Lancome Definicils. No matter what else I try - I always go back! :wink:

    Thanks, Jennloella, for correcting me. $14.50 is a good price for the good Clinique Mascara. Sorry for my error.

    i love the tubing mascara from blinc!!! doesn't add a ton of volume but so easy to take off and pretty water resistant too...until you get into a hot shower.

    I ditch my mascara every 3 months, whether I've used it all or not. It's just too gross to keep longer than that.

    I wear waterproof.
