So long, farewell
 

to my current mascara. It sucks. Has anyone used the waterproof versions of L'Oreal Lash Architect or Revlon Lash Fantasy? Or do you have a recommendation for a waterproof high-end? I'm at the end of my friggin rope here.

I like the Mary Kay waterproof mascara. It looks good and definitely stays put. Too bad I can't afford it right now.

Yes! Max Factor's 2000 Calorie Aqua Lash!! You have to look carefully at the package to make sure that it is indeed the Aqua Lash, but you can do just about anything in it, and it won't come off with mascara remover. It also comes in wonderful colors, like auburn.

And trust me, with my reddish-blonde eyelashes, I go NOWHERE without mascara!!

I almost never wear mascara. When I do, I wear Maybelline in the pink container.

I've used this before and liked it alot.

I now use Clinique's waterproof mascara, and it is wonderful, but fairly expensive.

Dammit, S.

I thought you were going to start an official thread for those fine folx of GC who decide to go on a self imposed vacation.

Damn you, woman.

I use MAC's prolong lash

This is my fav stuff and I find it works better than more expensive mascaras

loreal volumous in black....love it!

COSIGN. *but* if you're blonde it might be too much.

I have med. brown hair and LOVE it.... your lashes look thick enough you don't need eyeliner.

I used the waterproof L'Oreal Lash Architech....

I would never buy it again...(actually, I think I got it free at a sale when I bought eye shadow)... It's too thick, unless you like that uni-eyelash look.

see, I love thick, dark lashes. But maybe I can get away with it since I don't wear any other makeup. Or maybe I look sluttier than I realize.

I HATE waterproof mascara though. (Though my earlier support still stands.) It's a nightmare to get off, and mine never gets on my face -- probably because I don't sleep it in or anything, though, and I'm not much of a crier.

Prescriptives False Eyelashes mascara is my favourite... it's pricier, but it's worth it.

girl, you crack me up. :p

I have to wear waterproof because I have contacts and work in a dry building, so I'm eye-dropping all day. Jess, thanks for the non-rec, I've either heard people rave about LA or say it sucks.

i love laura mercier's waterproof mascara.

I have short eyelashes...I'd give anything to have them a little longer. I've even tried putting on fake ones but they're just too tiny to work with.

But the mascara I do use every now and then is Mary Kay in the silver container.

I tried high-end stuff, and still go back to CoverGirl Waterproof. It doesn't flake if your lashes get wet, and will come off with a make-up remover pad.

I also find it doesn't irritate my eyes either, where some other ones did.

Eyelash combs fix that.

I usually just get my mascara from the free gifts with purchase at Macy's. I don't go thru it quick enough to actually buy it.

I did like Clinique's waterproof mascara. I didn't wear it as much because I, for some reason, have really bad experiences with eye makeup remover... so I can't always take it off.

I don't wear it much during the summer because my eyes itch from allergies and I end up with irritated eyes. :rolleyes:

Let us bow our heads in a moment of silence for Cover Girl's Marathon Mascara in the neon green tube. T'was my 80's eye staple and nothing short of a nuclear explosion would remove that fine isht from my lashes.

i like maybelline full and soft because it doesn't make lashes all brittle and scary looking lol and i can still touch them without like scratching my fingers.... waterproof in very black is what i use

Tried it more then once... either ended up pulling it all off because it was all nothing but glops (even brand new), or pulling out lashes with it.

i haven't read the thread... don't know what it's about, but farwell OTW's signature :( i'll miss you

I use Lancome Definicils waterproof. It's not too bad, can be a little clumpy, but that's easily taken care of by cleaning off the wand every so often.

Since I'm no longer blonde (still can't believe I bleached my hair blonde while 15-19!!), I can't tell for sure, but I would think that the brown or auburn shades might pass the "non-slutty" test.

And I highly doubt that you look sluttier than you think! ;)

oooh, good call, Honey. In high school I had to pretend I wasn't wearing makeup (my parents were very strict but not very observant) so I would wear dark brown mascara.

Sounds stupid (like the clear mascara -- what's up with that?) but it worked great. Made my eyes look prettier but without looking like I was trying. Would've been good for, say, going on a 1st date to a ballpark or something and not wanting to look like you put on much makeup.

Honey -- don't you think people MUST not realize how they look?! Sometimes I see women out (think Frau in Austin Powers 3, where she sneaks into the prison to visit Dr. Evil and she's wearing a shirt open to below her bra, boobs pushed up under her chest, HUGE dried-out frizzy hair with like 2 inch roots, way too much eyemakeup, tight clothes, and carrying a Hardee's bag.) If I want to retain my faith in humanity I think people like that MUST not realize what they look like!

sidenote: when I was in college and in the dorms, we had one of those medicine cabinet mirrors but no full-length one. I used to wear this dress ALL THE TIME that was very cute.... from the waist up. Then I went home for the summer and was like, OK this is now a carwash rag.
