Mascara recommendations

I have the Covergirl "best mascara in the world" stuff, in the pink tube with green lid, and it is AWFUL! In my opinion. Because it is very... thin? And a tiny brush. I use it now because my Avon one has pretty much run out.

I loved my Mabellyne (sp!), Wondercurl, but they don't make it any more. Anyone know what is most like it?

I also think the Avon Supershock is pretty wonderful. Available in black, or dark brown (ps, I know Avon have other colours too). It has a nice big brush, and is really thick. It doesn't irritate me after a long day.

Glad your eyes are on the mend, I'd be heartbroken if I had to throw $300 of anything out!

I love Maybelline and Loreal, they both have a huge variety - the Loreal volume lash (gold container) is great but nearly $30 so probably not classed as cheap! Maybelline full and soft is a nice daytime one, and I just bought a volume Rimmel one the other day I am loving. GOod luck and poo to conjunctivitis, I had to do that a few months ago, really sucks. I would also be careful of liners and eyeshadows too. Maybe get some disposable brushes if you dot use them already.

Another Benefit Bad Girl here. $300 isn't that much when you buy good stuff and in varying shades. I used to have all sorts of awesome colours Pre kids. Pretty boring these days.

Tanstar - When I have been using it I've been using fingers & no liner I'm actually glad my liner was almost dead so didn't feel so bad throwing it out. I'd not used my Chanel one (which was a colour block & you needed to use a wet brush to apply) for a couple of months before the infection, so it is safe. My poor specialist got grilled about what make-up I could and couldn't keep, poor man

All my mascara was Chanel Heartbroken to have to throw the glitter one out, it was a limited release but my favourite Chanel consultant is trying to track one down for me, she thinks she knows where one is ........ I so owe her lunch if she comes through with it for me!
