Seeking Great Mascara

I have used Max Factor Stretch and Separate waterproof in black, forever...and it is hard to find, i believe it is being phased out. I loved it though, it actually lifted my lashes and stretched them so nice without looking goopy/clumped. Does anyone suggest a great mascara, I don't even mind if it is a designer(clinique, etc.) brand. I also tried maybelline great lash, define-a-lash, and a few covergirls...and am not impressed. Help!

What can I do next?

I use Mary Kay's lash lengthening mascara most of the time. However, I have also used Great Lash by Mabelline as well. I do sell Mary Kay if you are interested. Most consultants push the Ultimate Mascara, but it is kind of clumpy to me. I prefer the Lash Lengthening.

HOpe this helps!

I love love love MAC. I think the real key is their "Prep and Prime" primer, it takes 10 seconds more but the results are GREAT, even without the waterproof formula it stays on wonderfully. And you can get both the primer and mascara for about $23. I was in a accident and was in ICU for a week (broken neck), Everyone, esp. the nurses kept asking me what kind of mascara I used because it was still on 6 days later. At the time it was Mac's Prep and Prime with Chanel Mascara, I later tried the Chanel primer as well but was not impressed...(back to MAC for me)...definitely give mac a try, at the very least their "Prep and Prime" primer. Also you can try it in the store at the counter, and I believe they are pretty good at returns if you ended up not liking it, at least at Nordstroms Mac counter they are. Good Luck!!

Hi J.,
I have had the best luck with Avon mascara. They have several different types and they even have a guarntee with it. If you don't like it you can exchange it for something else or try another one. There is a website and you can even get it delivered to your house in just a couple of days. The web site is youravon.com/sbonekamp Try it and see if you don't love it as much as myself and my daughter.

I love Loreal's (sp?) mascara. One end of the wand is a conditioner and the other is the mascara itself.
