Oh and Great Lash? I'm

Oh and Great Lash? I'm sorry, it's terrible. I can't even see that I have on mascara with it. And I hate the brush (I prefer the style of the Diorshow brush, my third favorite mascara). People LOVE that stuff. I do not get it at all. My mom has used it her entire life.

I just bought the Chanel

I just bought the Chanel Initajd.... whatever. It's good stuff. I love Fresh Supernova as well.

Agreed on Lash Blast!

I've tried a lot of mascaras lately, and I really do like Lash Blast and Lash Exact from CoverGirl. Lately I've been using L'Oreal's Voluminous, which has been really good too. We'll see how I feel about it at the end of the test run. And since L'Oreal owns Lancome, L'Oreal mascara tends to be just as good as Lancome.

I did use Maybelline Great Lash for a while and I found that I didn't like it as much as the other mascaras I've used before.

For fancy mascaras, I really like Fresh SuperNova (available at Sephora for $25 -- aiyeeee, but it's reallyreally good) and Benefit BadGal Blue.

I adore Lancome Hypnosis (I may not have spelled it correctly though). I found that the regular mascara stays on all day and doesn't smudge - the waterproof was a bit too difficult to get off. I have soft contacts so I'm always wary of new mascaras that flake and irritate my eyes -- this one is my new favorite.

Lash Blast!

Cover Girl's last blast is amazing. Look past the massive brush - the stuff really works. I like the regular, non-waterproof version. It lasts for 12+ hours on me.

I also like Stila's Multi-Effect mascara - but it's $20 and I hate shelling that out for mascara.

so excited about this!

Thanks for the heads-up, Susan! I can't wait to see this.

The Maybelline that I'm currently sporting has a fabulous hot pink tube, which I truly love. So very pretty.

Great Lash is a classic

Susan Wagner — Tue, 13 May 2008 13:58:37 -0500

I wore Great Lash in high school, and like Susan, was surprised by how many people recommended it when I started asking for brands to test.

Perhaps I shall pick up a tube today ...

Anyone have a department store brand they love? And why do you love it more than the drugstore brands?

Inquiring minds want to know ...

Great Lash too

On the few occasions where I wear make-up, it has always been Great Lash. It's the only make-up I buy from the drug store--the rest is Mac and Bobbi Brown. But for whatever reason, I've been set on Great Lash.

My Mama Taught Me To Use Great Lash

missbritt — Tue, 13 May 2008 13:18:03 -0500

My mother's eyes always look fabulous and the only thing she has EVER used is the pink and green Maybelline Great Lash.

I've never had any knock my socks off results from mascara. NONE of it stays on past noon.

"Dignity is Overrated"

Define-A-Lash/love the green packaging and clean look

Susan Doherty — Tue, 13 May 2008 12:59:40 -0500

We recently filmed a "Drug Store Beauty" episode of Six Minute Style (in the can, but not yet edited) and profiled Maybelline's Define-A-Lash mascara, in the washable version though, not the "volume" version that you profile. I like it for precisely the reasons you list for the Volume: it provides very clean and simple coverage. Great for everyday use. The brush is the rubber-version you mention and I, too, found it a bit awkward at first. Now, I absolutely love it. It doesn't clump and 'goo-up' as so many other brushes often do. Interestingly, one of the other features I really like is the packaging. The neon-green container is so easy to find in my cluttered makeup drawer, especially in those early morning hours!

The other ‘drugstore’ mascara we feature is the Maybelline standby in the pink and green bottle: Great Lash. I included it because I found that many makeup artists use this mascara. I expected (used to do some acting) to find some super-pricey, exotic brand in their arsenal, but it was always Great Lash. Go figure. We'll be profiling department store makeup in an upcoming episode and I'm curious to see if there really is a difference between drugstore and department store versions.
