Drugstore: Maybelline Volume Express. Maybelline Collossal and L'oreal voluminous!
Highend: Dior Show, Benefit's Bad Girl lash
I have long, pretty curly Asian lashes and these give me tonnes of volume, lots of length and the formula doesn't flake off during the day. I look like I'm wearing fake lashes!
Anyone try Maybelline "Falsies" mascara?
Haha nice janetta. I guess I have short eyelashes because of my chinese heritage. Although my bro has long eyelashes ;)
haha I have to wear fake eyelashes to look anything like anyone else! ^^ OR load up on 3+ coats...;) Good thing I don't usually wear or care about masara except for special occasions! :)
I like Benefit's Bad Girl lash, got it as a sample in a SDM beauty bonus!
lol I'm Chinese too. I don't know where I get my lashes from :P It's weird! I wear lots of mascara though..that's probably why I get a false lash kind of look. Two coats sweeping up, one coat sweeping down then up again!Quote:

PS. I found that coating the root of my lashes with a smidge of extra virgin olive oil made them grow longer/faster. (Dip 1/4 of a Q-tip into oil) Maybe it's just me going nuts...but I ended up stopping because they were growing so much they were criss-crossing!! lol Gross?
I love maybelline falsies - tons of volume! And recenty I have been using maybelline volume express one by one which I also really like.
I find maybelline the only mascara that doesn't flake off during the day.
I agree, I love their mascaras!Quote:

Haven't tried either of the high end ones you mentioned, but agree with your drugstore picks :) I personally haven't tried falsies, but have heard good things in tutorials and hauls on youtube.Quote:

And false lashes online are super cheap. ;) Although they are unrealistic. ;) WOW, really??!! Criss crossing? haha, that's what falsies are like :) That's actually kind of cool although I don't desire long lashes on a normal basis. I heard a lot of people spend money on lash growth thingies!! Olive oil is..cheap and healthy haha. :) A true smart canuck :) thanks for all the tips
For drugstore, CG Lashblast. For high end, CD Iconic.
What kind of lashblast? :) I've always heard the orange is the best but I love art and I guess everyone is obsessed with colour. I liked purple better so that's my first choice :) Yes, I chose mascara due to the tube...That's no good ;) I also heard that waterproof is the same as bulletproof though so I that's off my list even though my asian eyelashes need waterproof to hold a curl. :)
And haha great bargain! I got a 99. cent Twilight branded mascara that was made by duwop and so crazy good that was so budgeproof it was bulletproof as well. :) Unfortunately I never wore mascara before or I was just irritated by applying so many coats and my eyes stung from just applying it! :)
I love Prestiges "My Biggest Lashes". I also like Rimmel extra super lash when I want a natural look.
I just picked up one of the falsies to try as it was $3.99 @ SDM with the $1 off coupon this week... wish I had found your $1.37 deal! I grabbed the "flared" kind & my only complaint is that the formula is really, really wet. I have to wipe quite a bit off the brush to avoid clumps. I had high expectations for a dramatic lash & wasn't overly impressed personally.Quote:

Thanks for letting me know! I'm not a fan of super runny formulas. Looks like I'll pass on the "Falsies", unless I see it on for $1! lolQuote:

I like Mary Kay's ultimate mascara in black. It's not waterproof, so it comes off easily, but it doesn't smudge like other nonwaterproof mascaras.
Those are also my favourite mascaras! I would say Prestiges Biggest Lashes and CG Superthick are pretty similar (imo)Quote:
