A while back I got a free mascara (Maybelline intense XXL) with a magazine I bought. I thought cool, I wouldn’t mind some motherflipping XXL lashes. As if! This is the worst tube of mascara ever. By the time I was finished applying it it looked like I had anorexic daddy short legs sitting on eyes. What a waste of time, luckily I got a magazine with it so I didn’t feel too cheated.
On a more positive note, Rimmel Extra Super Lash mascara is awesome! If you are looking for something that has a normal looking wand, not something that looks like you should be eating cocktail sausages with it and a formula that actually does what it says, buy this stuff, it’s awesome. Ok just thought I would share that with you, not sure why, just thought that maybe you would like to know of a nice mascara. Can anyone suggest another one?

Plain, old classic pink tube Maybeline Great lash mascara.
lol, i have the same freebie. just use the black side then its not too bad. Best mascara ever is Maybeline, the pink bottle with green lid. its awesome!
also a good one!
There’s one called Panoramic, I think its from L’oreal, its amazing!
I’m a beauty therapist, and I must say i love Avon mascaras!
oh this post really has helped me in my day. no more XXL for me.
I found that every mascara I use eventually clogs on my eyelashes. And as the day progress the mascara flakes and falls on my cheeks, making it look like I was shivering while applying mascara. The best trick I thought of, is to take a little bit of vaseline between my thumb and forefinger and gently pull my eyelashes with these two fingers. The vaseline “coats” it and prevents the mascara from going anywhere but on my eyelashes. *wink-wink*
Oh ya, and you have to do the vaseline trick after you’ve applied the mascara.
Amazing independent consumer advice right there! You should definitely write for Which? Mascara.
I’m a Maybelline Great Lash fan too. Cute little pinky green tube makes me happy and it clogs a bit less than t’others xx

Ahhahah! Shut it.
You are obviously home safe and sound. Good. Good x
Ooo the mascara debate…after trying brand upon brand from Rimmel to Dior I am a total convert to Benefit Bad Gal Lash. It’s fab.
Ohhhhh Myyyyy Goodness! I bought the exact same magazine and crap mascara! It also gave me an eye infection! Crappooshit! I will never use that again! I spit in it’s general direction!
Howwwever, on a happier note, Avon and Mac are the way to go!
same mag. same crappy freebie 🙁
i normally use mac and love it, but recently i switched to lancome to their vibrating mascara, and it’s awesome!
MAC zoomlash all the WAY! and some of the Avon ones are cool. I’m a make up artist and I prefer MAC to anything else. Although Revlon’s Luscious Lash (or something) is pretty sweet too.
You should try millionaire lash by loreal (I think it that’s name) it’s amazing it does look a bit like spiders hanging off your eyes but I kinda like it:) x
I got the name so wrong it’s volume million lashes!
I have a L’Oreal that made my eyelashes so hard they started to be easy to pull off.
I liked my Rimmel before that.
This reminds me, I need a new mascara.
i’m more of a bobby brown mascara man myself
