Bananas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131365 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:30:40 +0000 Sarah 131365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was under the impression that only Cover Girl tested on animals. Do you have a link where I can find the information on the other companies? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131363 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:27:58 +0000 Kristine 131363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L'Oreal and Max Factor test on animals though. The only major companies in the US that I know of which don't test are Revlon, Almay and Avon. So when I go to the drugstore I just stick with Revlon. I use their Fabulash mascara and it works well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131328 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:28:03 +0000 Sarah 131328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hands down my first recommendation is L'Oreal Voluminous. This gets thumbs up from many makeup artists, and it's under $10. Great coverage, doesn't flake off, waterproof, and easy removed with eye makeup remover.<br /> I currently wear MAC Zoomlash (because it makes my lashes SO long), and when I splurge I get Dior Diorshow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131295 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:55:07 +0000 Ele 131295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Max Factor mascaras- excellent quality, at the very top of the drugstore range, imo. 2000 Calorie is good but I really like Masterpiece or Masterpiece Max for added "oomph". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131292 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:26:18 +0000 Mac 131292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>don't have any suggestions for you except that whenever I need to figure out what to buy in the area of cosmetics/ beauty, i always check out the website <a href="http://www.makeupalley.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.makeupalley.com</a> where thousands of "regular" women write reviews of the products they use. I find it unbelievably helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131204 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:04:42 +0000 taylor 131204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use Almay it's hypoalergenic.. well, that's what it says anyway:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131176 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:13:24 +0000 Isabel 131176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI Louise, </p> <p>The Physicians Formula brand is especially made for people with sensitive skin and eyes. No fragrances, or allergens, or irritants. And it contains soy for moisture. The price is about $6.00 US for their waterproof mascara.</p> <p>The company is environmentally friendly and does not test on animals. </p> <p><a href="http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/browse.php?maincat=MAKEUP" rel="nofollow">http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.c.....cat=MAKEUP</a></p> <p>Finally, I wear waterproof mascara when it is very humid or might rain. Otherwise, I use a coat of Physician's Formula Organic mascara and a coat of the waterproof mascara over it and I do well with it. (remember that if you use eye cream, mascara is more likely to smudge, too. ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131155 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 01:42:37 +0000 Kyle 131155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the Blinc and swear by it. It never smudges. Ever. Ever. But it's not super easy to remove. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131121 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:19:25 +0000 Beth 131121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rimmel makes some really good mascaras and IIRC, it's a UK brand.</p> <p>I also love Max Factor 2000 Calorie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131087 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:13:07 +0000 Rosie 131087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! Blinc is the classic one. I hope you like it! Wonderful you were able to get a sample as some people love the tubes and others really dislike them. Let me know what you think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131042 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:45:30 +0000 Louise 131042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the quick responses.<br /> Rosie I Googled tube mascaras and ended up here <a href="http://www.blincuk.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.blincuk.co.uk/</a> I've ordered a trial size, fingers crossed x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131037 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:14:29 +0000 Queen Mum 131037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I discovered Avon's Waterproof Washoff almost 15 years ago and have never used anything else since. LOVE IT! A little bit of smudging by the end of the day, but nothing severe, and it washes off with my face cleaner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131035 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:12:16 +0000 annagybe 131035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use this pretty much exclusively. It stays put till you remove it with lots of very warm water.</p> <p><a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=209064&#038;catid=98577&#038;cmbProdBrandFilter=53072&#038;brand=7939&#038;trx=PLST-0-BRAND&#038;trxp1=98577&#038;trxp2=209064&#038;trxp3=1&#038;trxp4=0&#038;btrx=BUY-PLST-0-BRAND" rel="nofollow">http://www.drugstore.com/produ.....ST-0-BRAND</a></p> <p>I work 10 hour shifts, and when I'm outside in slightest hint of wind I tear up. This stuff doesn't budge.<br /> I've tried everything from drugstore to department store level.</p> <p>Anna </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131034 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:08:23 +0000 Rosie 131034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you considered "tube" mascara? I've found that they don't run anywhere near as much as regular mascara, so you can use one that isn't waterproof, which is easier on your lashes and much easier to remove. My favorite is the Trish McEvoy Volumizing mascara, but the price tag is hefty - $25/bottle so probably even more there in the UK. I've been trying to branch out to save costs since I replace my mascara every three months, but this is my favorite because of how it removes - no raccoon eyes! I think L'Oreal makes one now, too, although I'm not sure of their testing practices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131032 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:04:57 +0000 chewyspaghetti 131032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if this is available in the UK, but I have been using L'Oreal Double Extend Waterproof, and I quite like it. It's very gentle, but stays put. Washes off easily, and it's inexpensive (especially when it's buy one get one half off and you use two coupons). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mascara-recommendations#post-131030 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:00:17 +0000 Louise 131030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on a mascara hunt.<br /> Must be<br /> OK for sensitive eyes<br /> Waterproof as it always seems to end up in smudges under my eyes<br /> Easy to remove as i hate scrubbing it off<br /> Don't mind cost but the cheaper the better<br /> Any ideas?<br /> Ooo and it has to be available in the UK</p> <p>Edit and preferably not tested on animals<br /> I think i'm going to fail miserably with this list of wants!!!! </p>
