OK first of all all you spammers BITE ME! I will never, ever click on one of your links, nor will I ever buy from you or your web sites. YOU SUCK! No one is falling for it any more. And if every one will please report them instead of ratin the, perhaps StyleList will do something about them.

And second...got three words for mascara (whether waterproof or regular): Maybelline Great Lash. Pink tube, green top, curved brush. I have spent gazillions on other brands, even had mascara custom made once for over $100. But Maybeline Great Lash is STILL the BEST PRODUCT ever inveted in modern mascaras...the rest are just poor copies. Nothing else comes close and I've literally tried them ALL. My name is Catrina, and I am a mascara addict!!!

I don't know about that! Maybelline Great Lash is great, but Lancome's Virtuous is the best mascara I've ever used, hands down. A close second is L'Oreal's Virtuous. But I never use just waterproof mascara alone--only on my bottom lashes. I use regular and then a quick sweep of waterproof on top--Great Lash Waterproof, of course!

Every time i turn around i am seeing a commercial for a new an of the best mascara.

It has got tot he point where i am so over whelemd by all the brands/types i end up buying the least expensive and one i remember form way way back-and that is just what Catrina says is the best!

really i can get it for under 5 bucks and have spent over twice as much on ones that didnt even work thatwell at all-not spent as much as you Catrina but still i can relate

well those commercials for mascara are all FAKE as hell! If you look closely, the models are wearing fake eyelashes. Even in the magazines, if you look really close, you can see the little thin band that the individual lashes are connected to.

Two words: Loreal Voluminous!

I use a primer then my mascara both Lancome --- Hypnose is my choice of mascara.

Yes, L'Oreal Voluminous hands down. Have tried probably 30 types, all high end with exception of Great Lash. Nothing beats the L'Oreal one. Why does everyone adore Great Lash? It did nothing for my lashes. And I get a ton of free samples from Sephora and Nordstrom of Estee, Lancome, Dior, etc. I give them all to a women's shelter, because you can't beat my Voluminous. Clinique makes a great one, but it makes my eyes water all day, so I'm back to L'Oreal. And no, I don't work for them -ha ha!

A little secret for mascara fans. Wonder why so many of you all comment on Lancome, L'Oreal and Maybelline mascara? As a former employee of L'oreal, The answer is ...L'Oreal is the parent company for all three (as well as Garnier).All the mascaras are made at the same place you just have to figure out which one does the same thing, ex.Lancome Defincils is L'oreal's Voluminous Lancome and Lancome has a vibarting mascara and so does Maybelline. P.S. I honestly think M.A.C. mascaras are amazing $13.00 but last about twice as long as most. Hope this helps ya'all!

I have a problem with all mascaras water proof or not i still get black lines on the bottom of my eyes..I have used powders and other things first and then apply mascara! I don't even put any on my lower lashes and I still get black smudges. Been to department stores in the cosmetics and they can't help me..Elaine

roofing tar....it last longer

L'Oréal cosmetics are tested on animals. for that reason i would never even consider purchasing their products. are longer (looking) lashes that you have to wash off every evening worth the lives of thousands of defenseless animals? i think not.

let me say 1 thing and it is avon

The best waterproof mascara ever made is no longer produced, CG Marathon. I've been searching for an appropriate replacement since it was discontinued to no avail. Does anyone know of a comparable product? Nothing I've tried lasts as long or can withstand immersion in water. I've tried other waterproof formulas from CG, Great Lash, Avon, Milani, L'oreal and a few other off brands, and none have come anywhere close to Marathon. I'm going broke trying all these other brands and still nothing! Any suggestions from former Marathon users??

Lancome Definicils for my high end, and L'Oreal Voluminous Waterproof for my drugstore HG. I've tried everything and always go back. Maybelline Great Lash is probably the worst mascara I've ever used- a fantastic urban myth if there ever was one.
