    Mascara??????

    I need some new mascara desperately. I only use Revlon makeup but am quite unhappy with their mascara's because the brushes don't apply it properly.
    What I am looking for, is a mascara that has a brush almost like a bottle brush, with bushy bristles. I am finding that everything I seem to look at has a plastic stick with a few spikes on it and they just don't work that well. So, do you have or know a mascara that has a bushy brush.
    Thanks.

    Yep I have the same issue! How on earth does mascara go on with those puny little plastic bits! Especially as I have hardly any eyelashes and they need help! Anyway- I use Maybelline Full n' Soft... they have a full bristly brush and I changed over to something new a few months ago but that last all of 1 week and I went back and got the Fulln' Soft one. It's about $16 I think. HtH!

    I'm also a full n soft fan, I've tried a million others but keep going back to it. I use the waterproof one because it keeps my eyelashes curled. Plus it's cheap and you can buy it at the supermarket...

    I went on a mascara search this morning and came back with Innoxa Ultralash.

    It has a lovely fat bristly brush. Actually I bought it because it was the only one I could find in brown. Not black, extra black, midnight black or brown/black. JEEZ, not everyone should/can wear BLACK!!

    Cool, thanx girls. I started using Revlon because of all the freebies PML...but am not that happy even with the foundation lately.
    Those stupid plastic brush things annoy the heck out of me because the mascara clumps up and falls into my eyes and ends up under my contacts - very painful.
    One other thing, I wish my eyelashes would look like they do on the tv ads

    If you have the money Chanel Mascara is AMAZING I have never ever used anything like it before .. I did like napoleon though it did make my eyelashes fall out a little

    Another good one I have found is Maybellene (SP?) Extra Black its pretty good too

    I use a brand called Mirenesse Secret Weapon Mascara.... - some chemists sell it, i buy it online. About $30........Its won beauty awards. The thing i love about Mirenesse Secret weapon is the ease it comes off at the end of the day - no more panda eyes, the mascara comes off with water, in little black tubes - there is no mess, its great, reason its won awards.

    A girlfriend recently bought me Dior mascara.....and i must say i dont think its nearly as good as Mirenesse.

    IF your looking for something a bit cheaper, Maybelline (in pink tube with lime green lid) always receives rave reviews in beauty write ups....

    I use L'Oreal Double Extend mascara... it is the best mascara I have used in a looooong time! It is strange to put the white mascara on first, but it does help you to get those TV commercial eyelashes... I won't go back to using any other mascaras since discovering this.

    I wear Chanel mascara daily & even when I'm wearing my contacts. Have no problem with it at all.

    I was just out and grabbed a mabeline full'n soft from the chemist. Now that's what I call a brush. Just have to wait to take my crappy mascara off to try it now.
